→Prerequisites: Wording
m+33
→Prerequisites: 1) automake is not needed by d&c. If it is needed for a particular component, this should be addressed by a change in d&c for this component. 2) Try to improve wording.
+157
→For the impatient: Lighter wording
m-8
→Download: Mention --lts as well
m+33
The script *can* be useful also on systems not derived from Debian.
+97
→Updating FlightGear: Add -j$(nproc) in commands and suggest --cleanup after a build failure
+561
→Getting started with download_and_compile.sh: Move the SSH method to a dedicated section, last. The recommended method should now be simple enough.
+3,192
Add ZLIB to --help output
m+7
→List of available components: Add component ZLIB
+65
→Updating FlightGear: If build was done with -s or --lts, updates should use the same option
+669
→Release selection: Markup
m+2
→For the impatient: Improve appearance of an internal reference
+18
→Getting started with download_and_compile.sh: Update info and add section “For the impatient”
+1,165
9 July 2020
→Options: Document --non-interactive
+413
→Task-specific instructions: Update for --lts
+738
→When building 'next', you may see build errors: Update according to the latest FG policy and available d&c options
+399
→Advanced options: Document option --component-branch
+309
→Options: Fix mistakes, add complements. Document --cleanup, -s and --lts.

Shorten note and remove redundancy concerning disk space requirements
-161
→Selecting the components to build: Little clarification
+112
→Options: Fix title case and reorder: present advanced options last
+28
“Compiling the last known-stable versions” was discussed in two places so far; gather them under “Choosing between stable and development versions”
+48
Move “Selecting the components to build” inside “Task-specific instructions” (not an option per se, and so important that it deserves to come very early)
+62
Precisions (note: the “above” will really be above in a minute)
+166
→Selecting the components to build: Add anchor
+55
2 May 2019
→See also: Add reference to fg-from-scratch and improve style
+42
→Task-specific instructions: Add section “Passing custom arguments to CMake”
+1,946
More consistent header names
m+6
Reduce redundancy (only one copy of the list of available components in the main text—sample output of download_and_compile.sh --help has a second copy)
-294
→Launching FlightGear: Add precisions (start without any launcher)
+490
1 May 2019
→Additional programs: Add sections for TG and TGGUI
+1,229
→Compiling selected components: Description for TG and TGGUI
+68
→Compiling only one program: Retitle and amend wording (trivial generalization)
-83
→Compiling only one program: Fix program names, add wikilinks
+57
→Avoiding multiple downloads of FGData: FG build uses FGData too (picks up translations and creates .qm files), therefore FGData version must match FG version also when building FG
+12
Add precision: what happens when --launcher is omitted
+168
Add label to section “Avoiding multiple downloads of FGData”
m+57
Move sections about FGRun and FGo! to “Additional programs”
+370
Remove obsolete information (already contained in the previous change, in a way that works today) ; the change in directory structure being automatically handled by d&c and already an old thing, doesn't warrant drawing reader attention nowadays
