The API is experimental and having a change log is useful to have for
adjusting plugins as the implementation changes.  During development of the
API things should stay fairly stable to not cause breakage too often, but
while stabilizing for v1.0 a bunch of breaking changes can happen at once.  API
sections marked {deprecated} will be removed.  After that all changes will be
documented in the regular ChangeLog.

0.13 to 0.14-beta (2025-01-19)

	Upgraded Lua from 5.4.4 to 5.4.7.

	Deprecated VifmView.currententry field in favour of VifmView.cursor.pos.
	Patch by filterfalse.
