 You mean a NIP (which is a specification in my understanding) changes over time? Is there no change management like versioning of NIPs?

 Unlike IETF RFCs, yes NIPs change. But they are in a git repo so you can track their history. Most of the changes are fixing typos or better wording, which I don't mind.

Nostr has had numerous breaking changes in the past because fiatjaf could get everybody to agree to make the change, and without the change we were kinda screwed in one way or another. So an occasional breaking change is sometimes worth it.  We changed 'p' tag conventions (although the old way is still supportable), nostr: urls versus # [ 0 ]  notation (without the spaces, it might be turned into a link), and probably half a dozen more at least.

In reading recent PRs I got the impression that people were just breaking shit left and right, that breaking changes were accelerating.  But I overstated the case.  I looked into the git history and what was actually merged wasn't that bad.

I just want a list of them somewhere so I can keep up, and I want people proposing NIPs to be keenly aware that they shouldn't be breaking things.

 Hi, I am among the unfortunate victims of the FTX scam, a situation that has resulted in the loss of my entire savings, totaling around $20,000.
 
The distressing aspect of this ordeal is not just the financial loss but the subsequent actions taken by SBF and Sullivan & Cromwell, the involved debtors. Following the success of their global heist, it appears that, rather than working towards justice for the affected customers, they are prioritizing their own interests, demonstrating a complete disregard for the well-being of those who have suffered.
 
To witness such blatant exploitation of innocent people for personal gain is not only disheartening but also raises concerns about the moral and ethical compass of those involved. Their actions can only be described as mentally and spiritually sick, going beyond mere financial misconduct.
 
The significance of this situation cannot be overstated for me, as the funds lost were an integral part of my financial stability. I am reaching out to you with the hope that you might consider extending a helping hand during this challenging time. Any assistance however small that you could provide to navigate through the complexities of this situation would be immensely appreciated.
 
I believe in the power of collective compassion and the willingness of individuals to make a difference in the lives of those facing adversity. I understand that you may have your own commitments and limitations, but even the smallest gesture can have a meaningful impact.
 
Thank you for taking the time to read my plea, and I sincerely hope that you may find it in your heart to offer assistance during this trying period. Your kindness will not be forgotten, and I am immensely grateful for any support you can provide.
 
Please save me.
