GOLDENDOG LINUX

2024-12-08 - GDL 1.6.20

Important, perhaps: I used to keep a very untidy register of the first days, weeks months of development. Unfortunately I don't have a date record for these logs. But I still wanted to import them as they were, for historical (and evolutionary, hah) reasons. Live and learn, I guess. - Alexia.
