[spec] Specification revision history

Hello everyone,

I am trying to find the Gemini specification revision history.

Specifically the problem is that Gemini spec appears to have changed
without mentioning or bumping the spec revision. The reporter of bug #1
on gmnhg [1] mentions this quote from the specification:

> The Gemini spec only supports three levels of headings: "Headings are
> limited to a single line and start with either one, two or three #
> symbols followed by one mandatory space character"  

To comply with this, gmnhg used to convert Markdown H4-H6 with an extra
space padding after the first #. However, what the version stated to be
v0.14.3 from 2020-11-29 [3] says:

> Heading lines consist of one, two or three consecutive "#"
> characters, followed by optional whitespace, followed by heading
> text.  

This is fixed with [2], but the point still stands: does anyone know
where to find out what has changed on the spec and when?

You can clone the gemini-site git repository with:

	git clone git://gemini.circumlunar.space/gemini-site

According to git blame, that wording was present since at least June 6,
2020. It seems that the reporter of the bug is mistaken.

Hi Timur,

I found that language here, and it appears to still be in place:
https://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/gemtext.gmi

It seems like that page needs to be updated! I was using a client whose 
dev must have been
referencing this page, as it wasn't able to parse four ####s as heading 3.
