How we version
Noorani uses semantic versioning (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH). Major versions are reserved for changes that alter the browser's default behaviour in a way that might surprise existing users. Minor versions add features. Patch versions fix bugs.
Each release entry includes an SHA-256 checksum for every signed artifact, a list of bundled Chromium security fixes, and any changes to default settings.
