-Lists all MX releases since Mark Crossley brought MX out of the beta development (that Steve Loft left to the Community when as part of his retirement he gave up involvement in Cumulus). It is intended to be used for reference, e.g. if you wonder when such and such a feature was introduced, this article is a quick way to check. This article is NOT a comprehensive guide to what you need to do when upgrading.
+This article lists in concise tabular format all MX releases starting at build 3047. Mark Crossley brought MX out of the beta development with build 3050, but the preceding few builds contained important changes they are worth including here. The very first version 3.0.0 build by Mark was 3044 which included some elements that were in Steve Loft's source (left to the Community when as part of his retirement he gave up involvement in Cumulus) but had not been previously released. However, 3044, 3045, 3046 were all experimental in that they tried to fix certain bugs and prepare a basis from which later builds could start really introducing new functionality, you can look them up at [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=17887 MX Current (releases since b3043)] in support forum.
+The purpose of this article is to make it easier to look up what features were introduced at each version.  It uses material taken from the support forum, both from the release announcements and from discussions about problems and fixes mentioned elsewhere.
+This article is NOT a comprehensive guide to what you need to do when upgrading. If you are using an old version and wish to know what version to update to, please see detailed advice in [[Updating MX to new version]] article.
 '''This article is updated independently of release announcements in the forum, so may not always be in step.'''
-It excludes the first few releases (within Version 3.0.0) that Mark did when he was experimenting with updating the code with both fixes and new features; and starts when he said it was the first non-beta version.
