The Docs are a work in progress. New sections and improvements are being worked on.

Portmaster Changelog

Portmaster consists of many individual components that work together. The "primary" version number - the one you see everywhere - is the version of the Portmaster Core Service - simply called "Portmaster" below.

Usually, the other components are released together with a new version number of the Portmaster Core Service. Sometimes, however, minor changes or bug fixes are released without a version update of the Portmaster Core Service in order to get them out faster.
