# History and recent changes

This chapter is divided in two parts. The first one is about the early history of Coq and is presented in chronological order. The second one provides release notes about recent versions of Coq and is presented in reverse chronological order. When updating your copy of Coq to a new version (especially a new major version), it is strongly recommended that you read the corresponding release notes. They may contain advice that will help you understand the differences with the previous version and upgrade your projects.
