As the design of Flavor progressed starting from its inception in November 1995, we have produced a number of documents that describe its architecture and functionality. As a result of the evolution of the language, some of these documents only have historic interest, as they no longer accurately reflect the latest specification. We should note that the differences, however, are not major.
