Corrections
Correction to ChangeLog entry on 2017-05-15: The line reading "DEER values remain valid in CEDARS for one year past expiration" is incorrect. The language should read, "DEER values are valid between the StartYear and EndYear, inclusively, as specified in the value list. The values are removed from the value list the year following the EndYear."
Correction to Date for ChangeLog entry on 2018-10-23: The 2019 Spec updates were actually made on 2019-05-01.
