Hi, Paul.

I think the base has been stable for some time now.  Since we added
"ta" as the optional "unreal" tense many months ago (for those used to
subjunctive and conditional tenses), all our "changes" have indeed been
a matter of  looking at optional alternatives to broaden the
accessibility of LFN.  And our vocabulary is expanding, not changing.
The only change I can recall is a recent one, where we went from
vulcano to vulcan -- not too frightening, I think :-)

Best wishes,

George
