This is a list of changes that have been made in each /f/lockdraw version since around October 2011.

Versions are listed from most recent to oldest. Major version numbers are used primarily as a means of filtering incompatible clients (the "version too old" message) so changes in the major version do not necessarily reflect major changes in functionality.

The original flockdraw swf upon which /f/lockdraw is based refers to itself internally as version "3", so the first version of /f/lockdraw (after I added my versioning system) was number "4".

The latest update to /f/lockdraw is shown here at the top for convenience.

Fixed a bug where PM User did not correctly prepopulate the chat box
