Versions of: The reader was always the product
2 published versions of The reader was always the product: a corrected history of how news got into this mess. The current one is v1.0.1.
v1.0.0 is the article as first published. A change to its text (title, abstract or body) is the next minor version, v1.1.0; a change only to its other details (a LinkedIn link, the release it belongs to) is the next patch, v1.0.1. The list is read from the site's git history at every build, so it cannot be edited by hand and cannot leave a version out. Views extracted from an article, such as the Five readers, are not part of its text and do not change its version.
