For a list of changes in each subdomain please see the index page for each of the subdomains; I try to keep all the indices updated but it's entirely possible this won't remain true by accident (and sometimes because it seems insignificant or I simply cannot be bothered though this is rather unusual).

- Added a games directory at https://share.xexyl.net/games. Currently there is only one game: an arrows selecting game called Arrows located here. More information can be found there (too lazy to put here too, don't expect many if any - other than the one who requested I release it a while back - to download it anyway).
- 07 Jul 2019
- Moved the Tolkien site to its own domain: tolkienlegendarium.net.
- 05 Jul 2019
- Fix a conflation between 'Stone Giant' versus 'Stone Troll' in the etymology of the Ents in The Lord of the Rings history document: due to the way Ents were at one time not Ents but rather Giants (i.e. Treebeard was a 'Stone Giant' or at least a 'Giant' if not 'Stone' - but I seem to recall indeed 'Stone' modifier - before Ents were discovered by Tolkien) and then how Ents differ (more so Giants due to the etymology of 'Ent' the name) and also how they relate etymologically speaking. In that section I discuss the difference between the two and what Stone Trolls are. As well I updated a few other sections to make things a bit easier to follow the way they are connected to other parts.
- 11 Jun 2019
- Add two sections to the history of The Lord of the Rings document: pranks that Bingo Baggins plays on Farmer Maggot and alternative Ring verses.

- 15 May 2018
- Change drop down menu to a table of contents with last updated date. The plan is to make all the subdomains this way too (those which might not be - in the future) with brief document history. Will hopefully remember to update the last updated portion each time but it's possible I will forget to; the history of each subdomain will be found in its index page.
- 12 May 2018
- Updated the IOCCC pages quite a bit with new content (history of the 'Weasel words' entry etc.).
