8 - ? - Flattening, distancing, and memory changes: Decreased number of buckets on the gun from 64 to 32.; Replaced most segmentation doubles with floats.; Removed dynamic distancing.; Added dynamic flattening, with a default weight for non-impacting waves of 0.1 (vs 1 for a bullet).; Added color changes to waves in debug graphics to reflect their bullet's condition (hit target, hit bullet). This makes watching battles with debug graphics on more fun.; Probably some other things too.

7 - G1927.7 - Major tweaks: Switched to sane rolling depths for surfing.; Made surfing and gun rolling depths variable based on degree of segmentation.; Increased minimum distance for dynamic distancing.; Fixed equation for orthogonality. (Thanks Voidious); Decreased velocity weighting to 12.5%.

6 - G1941.7 - Tweaks and adjustments: Decreased surfing rolling depth a lot - from 50 to 15. Should be much more adaptable now.; Added dynamic distancing.; Added axis weighting, permitting a degree of influence on which segments are trusted more, regardless of how their data looks.; Weighted velocity 25% higher than other axes. This should produce solid gains against simple targeters.

5 - G1940.9 - Added Orthogonality and BulletFlightTime axes: Added two new axes.; Updated debug graphics.

4a - G1941.1 - Not ProGuarded: Same as 4 but no after-compile optimizations.

4 - ? - Lots of bugfixes: Resolved some silliness where multi-wave surfing was falsely seeing a safe spot.; Improved statistic calculations.; Updated debug graphics slightly.; Narrowly avoided adding a false optimization (thanks Rsim!).; Corrected firing wave origin point.; Adjusted aim location to fire through the center of wave bins rather than at the first corner.; Optimized by ProGuard - likely why it fails on many clients.

3 - G1936 - removed velocity snapping, refined bot width calculation: Rolled back changes from version 2 -- while the velocity manipulation is quite effective against some bots, notably Geomancy 1, it hurts my overall ranking badly.; Added more precise bot width calculation, including partial bin addition for bins at the edges of the bot width.

2 - NA - Velocity snapping added
2a - G1898.9 - bugfix release: In the two turns before enemy gunheat reaches zero, I limit my velocity to 0, 4, or 8 (whichever's closest) so that the enemy's segmentation has lowered resolution.; My first upload of version 2 used AdvancedRobot.setDebugVariable, which is not present in Roborumble-sanctioned versions of Robocode. As a result a few clients who got the buggy version are seeing crashes 100% of the time. 2a has the function removed.

1 - G1937.0, 59^th - Release: Cleaned up Watermelon, removed old code it didn't need, fixed some minor issues, tweaked some numbers, and gave it a shiny new name.
