It tells kit users exactly what they have and what has changed, so they can judge the impact on their designs. Designers who miss changes affecting timing or rules flood support with questions the notes should answer. In the PDK lifecycle it is updated at every alpha, beta and production release.
The full lifecycle detail, with its charts, flows, tables and every section, is for registered members. Registration is free and takes a minute. You come back to this page afterwards.
