Respectfully, I think this section is rather too long and technical and not really interesting to most users. Either describe all of the changes (of which you allude to, there are a lot) in detail, or none of them, but as it stands this feels like shining a spotlight on your contributions in particular. > + </p> > + <p> > + The project has recently started to modernize its infrastructure.
