/*
 * Guidelines for maintaining these definitions:
 * - If you spot an error here or there, please submit a PR.
 *   Give some examples/links to documentation if you can.
 *
 * For patches and minor releases:
 * - Browse the changelog at https://github.com/Automattic/mongoose/blob/master/History.md
 *   and make necessary changes. Afterwards, update the version number at the top so we know
 *   which version we are on.
 *
 * For major releases:
 * - Refer to the updated docs at http://mongoosejs.com/docs/api.html
 * - On the left-hand side of the docs is a list of .js files. Reset and update the TODO list below
 *   then go through one-by-one, making any updates to params list, return type, etc. For documentation
 *   changes just copy/paste them into here.
 * - Check the files off as you go. Some files below might not have anything in them. That's ok, this
 *   is just a simple heuristic to keep track of our progress.
