Edition numbers reflect major structural changes to a book volume such as the addition of new chapters, the substantial expansion of existing chapters, or a change in markup language (source code formatting). I may also increment the edition number of a volume due to the accumulation of many smaller changes. For a volume under active revision, one edition per year is normal.
"Last revised" dates reflect non-trivial changes only. Minor changes I make such as typographical error correction and stylistic changes to the text do not warrant increments to this date. New topics added to the text, as well as any outside contributions, are the minimum change level warranting a new revision date.
The source code for each chapter file contains a change-log consisting of commented lines, which is normally hidden when viewed by a web browser. You may peruse the beginning of each chapter file (using the "view page source" option on your browser) for a detailed history of all changes to that chapter.
