This article showcases news, blog posts, and updates that VRChat published between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2016.<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
Since 2016, VRChat's developer updates have been posted on several outlets, and have also gone through different names. Former developer updates have been called ''Developer Blogs'', ''Community Updates'', and ''Town Hall Meetings''.<br />
<br />
VRChat published their blog posts on ''[https://medium.com/@vrchat Medium]'' starting in April 2016, and published their patchnotes from 2016 on their former domain, ''vrchat.net''.<br />
<br>Patch notes for VRChat ''Builds released between December 2016 to May 2018''<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20161211084017/http://vrchat.net/release "Release Notes"] archived from ''vrchat.net'', via ''archive.org''. Retrieved September 7, 2024.</ref> can be viewed [https://web.archive.org/web/20161211084017/http://vrchat.net/release here].<br />
<!-- As for build numbers for April 11, 2016 and May 11, 2016, I am uncertain but am willing to guess it's somewhere in the 0.9.x series [https://archive.org/details/@vrcar and maybe someone can help me out here]. The Medium post for July 28 references the patchnotes for 0.10.0, therefore that was easy. There was a build for 0.10.1, and 0.10.2 which I filled in. I was able to acquire the build number of VRChat on December 8, 2016, because version 0.11.0 was pushed out on December 1st, and archived. ~DAG-XR --><br />
