Edition

The English page of version 1.1.0 on keepachangelog.com. The title of the page is the title of the poster, its tagline is set under it and its version link is the kicker, with the date of version 1.1.0 in the example changelog of the page. The example changelog is set in monospace across the page, in columns, line for line. Links are set as plain text. The credits line of the page footer is in the footer of the poster, and the MIT notice of the repository is printed at the end of the text. Nothing else is left out.
