+## 2020-07-04 : Automatically switch to a user-created tab / Breaking the UI
+I got pointed out that when creating a new tab the user has to needlessly switch to it while it could be done when they request it.
+I also decided to still release it in a point release, so without bump of Major because while it does changes the behavior it doesn't break the associated meaning, while this would be a breaking change for an API I could take it as a minor adjustment in a user-interface.
+
+Note: This would be an API if user-interface interactions could be scripted (like in HaikuOS) but I'm not aware of people actually doing this one with GTK programs.

## 2020-02-04 & 2020-02-09 : Use BSD extensions in the Makefile
The BSD extensions += and ?= for variable extension is used to avoid having to explicitely pass a list of variables to make, thus making build recipies simpler.
They are also compatible with GNU make so portability shouldn't have significantly dropped.
