Disclose Version History for 2016

This is a complete version history of the XOWComics.com site for the year 2016. Other years are available by using the links listed just below.

As of the late summer of 2012, XOWComics.com implemented a system to update the web site more quickly and efficiently with new features and upgrades. These "incremental" updates are what often comprise now the full listing of features in each new version of the site.

You can see quite easily how quickly the site has progressed. Your feedback has driven this success and rapid development!

Note, the second half of 2015 saw the development of some extensive revisions and additions to the My Collection section of the site. As it progressed, the expansive changes required made it easier for us to "slip" on site versions until development and testing was complete (towards the end of February, 2016, with the deployment of v1.6.6 of the site).
