I saw that v0.1.3 is on the nakamoto insitute link you provided above so I think i'm all set there (thx) as step two, but since the "first commit" you linked to on github just posts the entire v0.1.5 codebase, what's the easiest way to tell what changed from v0.1.3 to v0.1.5?
From then on I'm assuming all the changes are tracked through version control, even though early on it was all still pre-github...
Hope these comments are still germane to this thread as I'm moving away from v0.1.0.
You can still use git, the only thing that you can't do is use Github as in the website. You can make a local repository for any old code and then create a new branch with the newer one and compare them. You can use git diff or maybe even the desktop GUI client to get an overview of the differences. I would try this myself but for some reason I can't even open the v0.1.3 archive.
