	Despite being in beta, often a stage of software development where the project is "feature locked" and only bugs are addressed, the changelog details some fairly sweeping changes. Beta 5.0 introduced the famous [[NOCD.SI]] animation and Beta 4.0 apparently added much of the HUD to the vehicles (~~fueld~~ gauge, "i" icon, etc.) It seems the game was still changing rapidly despite being only months away from retail release.

	The changelogs for the earlier betas contain information on playing/beating the game, as well as preemptive apologies for crashes and known issues, such as the Pepper mission seeming "a bit too hard to win". The first build's changelog also instructs players to uninstall previous versions of LEGO Island and manually delete registry keys, indicating at least some of the testers receiving the early betas also received even earlier pre-beta/alpha versions of the game.

	Occasionally, the changelog lists fixes for bugs that [[Glitches\|remain in the retail releases]] or [[Compatibility Issues\|have re-emerged in newer versions of Windows]] (particularly crashes involving leaving the game). These sections of the game may have been poorly implemented and fixed via hacks or workarounds that later became incompatible with more modern versions of Windows, causing the original bug to re-emerge.

[[Beta 9.0 Changelog]] is a {{Wikipedia\|Changelog}} packaged with [[LEGO_Island_Versions#Beta_9.0\|LEGO Island Beta 9.0]]. It details various changes made between all the beta revisions leading up to and including this one.

			It provides a fascinating insight into what the developers were working on in the late stages of development. Naturally no such changelog was provided in any retail release, so there is no known official documentation for the changes made between Beta 9.0 and the retail releases.
