+# Your name.
+author: FluffyGhost
+
+# Optional: Remove this file after generating master changelog.  Useful for PR changelogs that won't get used again.
+delete-after: True
+
+# Any changes you've made.  See valid prefix list above.
+# INDENT WITH TWO SPACES.  NOT TABS.  SPACES.
+# SCREW THIS UP AND IT WON'T WORK.
+# Also, all entries are changed into a single [] after a master changelog generation. Just remove the brackets when you add new entries.
+# Please surround your changes in  double quotes ("), as certain characters otherwise screws up compiling. The quotes will not show up in the changelog.
+changes:
+  - tweak: "The stethoscope message, for the user, is now inside an examine block."
+  - tweak: "Tuned the delay a little, so the display is not immediate, as you'd need a moment to determine the breathing and heart status."
