## Keeping this accurate
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These documents describe the current release and are expected to change with it.
|
|
|
|
|
Every value quoted here (limits, timeouts, algorithm parameters) is taken from the
|
|
|
|
|
source rather than restated from memory, so if you change one in code, change it
|
|
|
|
|
here in the same commit. [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) lists which documents
|
|
|
|
|
are affected by which areas of the code.
