We have an unofficial convention for change history in the headers, but that is
not necessary to keep track of versions - and can get a little unwieldy.
Since the advent of the Parts Tracker (for update 2001-01), new or amended
official parts automatically have, in the header
0 LDRAW_ORG Part UPDATE YYYY-RR
where YYYY is the year and RR the parts release sequence within that year, eg
2004-01, which will be the next.
If a part does not have a line like this it is from before 2001-01, and would
get a line like this if it were ever updated.
