I've been randomly developing this wiki page for awhile, to try and hopefully document a curated list of major changes to the repo, for public knowledge's sake.
I think it has enough by now where it might be useful by now for the purpose of getting a better idea of how things changed over time, but it definitely is still really missing a lot of things.
Github search isn't very useful for finding new things to add rather than just scrolling chronological, so please let me know of any major changes you think oughtta be added.
TY
BTW Pre-Github era means searching through commits manually. This means you basically need to have the feature in mind, so you can go search for when it was added. This is why 2010-2013 is so parse right now.

add goofball porting goofchem in 2014 that was a watershed moment (easy to find via github search)
also aranclanos creating linda, very important
lemoninthedark's fastmos, huge milestone
also add the removal of the malf ai satellite and the prison station, which was like 2011 or something
also the ability to spawn roundstart as a lizardperson, that would lead to the furries-in-denial nightmare we have today
also the change to R&D from destructive analysing an optimised metalist of bullshit every round, having to teleport to the telecomms sat to get subspace ansibles and whatnot to deconstruct, to techwebs or whatever superseded it
also the move of telecomms from the satellite to the station
also the removal of stun gloves and the introduction of the stunprod, that was a huge change in the meta
maybe the relentless buffing of the spear to be the insanity it is today by old melee damage standards

The rise and fall of telescience might be fun to include for historical preservation, but I wouldn't call it super important to the game in the way that, for instance, Stun Gloves or slip changes were.

Fermichem
Mood & Moodlets
Tramstation
Boxstation removal, Icebox Station (no idea which PR actually added it)
Station-accessible shotgun buckshot removal, not important in the grand scheme of things but it made shotguns a lot worse (for better or for worse)
Memories, not a very important feature but probably still worth documenting
Quirks
Monkey's removal from code, Jungle Fever turned into Jungle Flu
Thieves

The botany rework (removing the gene manipulator) was pretty big.
Chef/cooking stuff that got added over time (deep fryer, oven, griddle, tourist bots etc)
The removal of lava dwarves happened before my time but it might make for an interesting footnote.
Maps entering and leaving rotation would be cool too. (RIP Pubby)

YES these were the things I was looking for, thank you gamers
There's so many changes over the years it's honestly easy to forget about them, until reminded, so it's best to ask

For this one in particular, if I recall, it was never full-merged, only test-merged extensively. I couldn't decide what to do with that circumstance, so I didn't add it even though I thought about it.

Also I already had this one, don't worry
I wasn't gonna miss one of the most infamous PRs of all time

Crypto-pod addition and removal lines are both links to their addition PR
The big TC value overhauls, of which there must have been at least two (move from 10 to 20 starting TC and addition of prog traitor) would be good
The nerfs of C4 and parapens
The addition of floor crawling

It could be far too big of a task or too minor to document, but what about major resprites? Just stuff like new baseline jumpsuit sprites or
maybe the
new meat or
tool resprites, since those are generally all common items you see in nearly every game.

It would be very interesting to see these sprite changes listed out over time, though it'd be a bit of work for absolute. I am aiming to only add really major features/reworks/removals of game content to this list (or ones that were very controversial/made public notice), stuff that's player facing but is content related. Of course some exceptions do apply for very big things that are important milestones.
If you're interested in creating a list of sprite changes, feel free to make a Wiki page! You can use the same format as I am. Pretty easy to use.

Were sleepers removed with a chem rework, or was that separate?
Same for the adding of the Wounds system.
