+==== Change Log =====
+=== v0.3 - TBD ===

+  * Added support for stuffing packets when present. (WNYZ-LD)
+  * {Want to finish ESG support.} (General)
+  * {Want to add eGPS support.} (KWGN)

+  * Added version number variable and command line function. (General)
+  * Resolved PLP bitrate calculation bug. (General)
+  * Added handling for duplicate LMT entries. (WZBJ-CD)
+  * Added handling for EFDT tags and incomplete tags. (WUPV)
+  * Added work-around for when close object isn't detected. (WCVW)
+  * Resolved CDT parsing issue in ALP-PCAP captures. (KSTR)
+  * MMT support in-place, but most of the stations have incomplete MMT data, so there's a fall-back that attempts to directly parse the video and audio. (WHUT, WIAV-CD, WNUV, KUNS, KJZZ, KVCW, KVPX-LD/WDWW-LD)
+  * I've left a ton of debugging code in it.  I stripped it out in 0.1, but removing it is a lot of work for no benefit.
+=== v0.1 - October 10, 2025 ===
+  * Initial release.
