name: Pillar Biosciences PiVAT release notes
description: >-
  Pillar Biosciences publishes no web changelog. Software change history for
  PiVAT is distributed as controlled, revision-numbered PDF release notes from
  the company's own S3 documentation bucket. This artifact records what those
  documents actually contain — it is a PDF-only change record, which is why the
  format field below says so plainly.
