Someone asked us if there is any way that we keep track of changes
that are made in our user guides/helps from version to version.
Is this something that people do?
Since books are changed as a result of software releases, we know more
or less what has been done, but there is no list of changes (or
history file)
Is this a requirement in some sections of the communications industry?
