Silver Forest (Originally Logger Extension) Devlog - 002

 Silver Forest Devlog - 002

By A.A. Lopez

    This will be a quick devlog following the Logger Chrome extension that I've been working on for work. The main focus will be the updates from Alpha 1.0 to Beta 1.1.1 and not much else. There is mention of a companion extension called Ash Leaf (introduced as Ash Branch but changed in 0.0.2). 

    Outside of the name being updated to Silver Forest, to be named after the coworker who came up with this idea, there's really not much else I can add. I'll most likely put a more in-depth log later on this or next week. But without further ado, here is the list of updates from Silver Forest Alpha 1.0 to Beta v1.1.1 and Ash Branch 0.0.1 to Ash Leaf 0.0.2.
