FTB Utilities changelogs/updates/etc?

Ran a quick search but couldn't find anything about usage or the dev progress of FTB Utilities. Is there a page for it? It's a pretty important mod now so I want to pay attention to it's progress.

Changlelogs et al should all be on the FTB Utils. Curseforge page (each version will say what's new when you go to download it - in case you didn't know)

Thanks! That's part of what I was looking for but I was also hoping for some sort of a public checklist as well. I know most of this stuff is developed when people have time so I don't want to come off as if I'm demanding that certain things are added in. It's just that I was clicking through the GUI trying to figure out how the chunk loader worked because I figured that if they disabled ChickenChunks by default, the FTB Utilities Chunk Loader 'must' be working ... because it was listed as something they were going to add. It was a little frustrating trying to determine what features we 'do' have vs what features we should expect so if someone could add a table to that page w/ a list of items and their status, that would helpful. It would have saved me a little time (having found the page) and wouldn't have taken much time to add to the page. Just a thought.

Maybe (I may be incorrect here) that the chunk loader works by using the map that you access via your inventory

I checked out the link provided and saw that there's already a version for MC 1.8... Maybe that tweet I saw about a 1.8 modpack was real?

It is, however there's not enough popular mods to make 1.8 packs viable to those who want familiarity.
And those which are popular, and have updated... well... it's not pretty

Ah, there is a good example of why it would be nice to have a checklist! The Chunk Loader in FTB Utilities hasn't been implemented yet ... the map (as of right now) is purely for claiming chunks. I didn't know that until I started looking around the forum and like I said, having to search for something isn't the end of the world, it's just that having a checklist would be easier and more 'official'.
