### Major Updates
2+
3+
- Changes to `gist:Commitment`, `gist:Agreement`, `gist:ContingentObligation` and removal of `gist:Obligation`. Issue [#1188](https://github.com/semanticarts/gist/issues/1188).
4+
- Deleted class `gist:Obligation`.
5+
- Changed the definition of `gist:Agreement` to no longer reference `gist:Obligation`.
6+
- `gist:Agreement` is no longer a subclass of gist:Commitment.
7+
- `gist:Agreement` and `gist:Commitment` are now direct subclasses of `gist:Intention`.
8+
- `gist:ContingentObligation` is now `gist:ContingentCommitment`, and its definition has been altered to reflect the change in meaning caused by removal of `gist:Obligation` and its now being a direct subclass of `gist:Commitment`.
9+
10+
### Minor Updates
11+
- Changes to `gist:Commitment`, `gist:Agreement`, and removal of `gist:Obligation`. Issue [#1188](https://github.com/semanticarts/gist/issues/1188).
12+
- Added `skos:scopeNote` to `gist:Commitment` which makes clear the unilateral-ness of the new definition.
13+
- Added `skos:scopeNote` to `gist:Agreement` which emphasizes that it is not necessary to instantiate every single commitment which makes up an agreement.
14+
- Added `skos:scopeNote` to `gist:Commitment` which clarifies that commitments might be binding via legal, moral, contractual, or other kinds of deontic force.
