        "View Open Writeups" page.
    - Removed open, closed, and deferred constant definitions from common.php
        since only one was ever used, and that in only one place.
+
+1.4.3 - 2025-02-27
+    - Poorly documented changes in the previous three versions resulted 
+        in confusion about when the date range selection dropdown should
+        appear on the View Open Writeups and View All Writeups pages.
+        Since the View Open Writeups page seemed redundant (all that info
+        was available on the View All Writeups page) removed the View
+        Open Writeups page entirely. The writeups page now shows all
+        writeups for the selected date range, or today if no dates are
+        specified.
+
+1.4.4 - 2025-12-10
+    - Fixed bug in writeupdetail.php that emerged with installation on a
+        system using MariaDB-10.11.14. A fatal error occurred when 
+        trying to insert a null value into the action_reason field of 
+        the writeups table (you left the action reason dropdown blank). 
+        Previous versions just left it as is without complaint. 
+
+1.4.5 - 2025-12-16
+    -  Various problems were noted resulting from php's use of UTC as the
+        default timezone. Now, on installation or upgrade, the installer
+        gets the correct timezone from the system and sets it as a php
+        option in a .htaccess file in the install location. This solves
+        multiple problems and allows today's date and the current time
+        to be determined from the php date() function as part of the
+        settings.php once per page load instead of having to query the 
+        database multiple times per page load. Also added the option to
+        allow apache to read the .htaccess file to the <Directory>
+        section of the application's conf file in 
+        /etc/apache2/conf-available
+    - Renamed the installer's opendrs-update.sh script to files_update.sh
+        to align with the standardized installation process used by
+        other applications.
+    - Changed the install.sh script to align with the standardized
+        installation process used by other applications.
+
+1.4.6 - 2026-02-06
+    - Fixed bug in group_detail() function in common.php where the link
+        members were being sorted by linkid instead of writeupid. This
+        caused the group writeup table to be ordered based on when the
+        writeup was added to the group instead of in the logical writeup
+        order.
