summary: >-
  NAESB maintains no developer changelog page, but the WEQ Electric Industry Registry page
  carries a continuously updated, reverse-chronological stream of dated announcement
  documents going back to 2013 — release notices for the EIR webRegistry, Authorized
  Certification Authority renewal notices, and fee changes. That stream is the provider's
  real change log for the one API it operates. Entries below are the recent window,
  transcribed from the announcement documents themselves; NAESB posts them as Word files
  rather than HTML.
