+### AutoVer (1.3.0)
+* Add VersionFromTag, which takes the version from the repository's release tags instead of a project file, for a repository that has no artifact to carry one. Projects are listed by name only, no file is written when a release is cut, and the largest increment any of them asks for wins
+* Seed a project that carries no version yet from the new InitialVersion setting instead of failing. The version field is created - a Version element for a project file, a version element in a nuspec's metadata, or a LABEL appended to a Dockerfile - and takes InitialVersion as-is, so releases after that increment normally
+* Add InitialVersion, the version to start from when nothing carries one yet, defaulting to 0.1.0
+* --skip-version-tag-check is no longer needed, since a project without a version is seeded rather than rejected. It is still accepted, and ignored
