## Naming Convention
All version directories now follow consistent naming:
- **Format:** `##-v#.#.#/`
- **Example:** `01-v2.0.0/`, `11-v1.0.0/`, `16-v0.5.0/`
- **Ordering:** Newest versions first (01-) to oldest (16-)

## Benefits
1. **Consistent naming** - All use `v#.#.#` format
2. **No duplicates** - Each version appears exactly once
3. **Proper ordering** - Newest first, oldest last
4. **Clean structure** - 18 unnecessary directories removed
5. **Easy maintenance** - Clear pattern for adding future versions

## Additional Changes
- Moved `08-roadmap/` to `99-roadmap/` to keep it at the end of the list

## Next Steps (Recommended)
1. Verify all changelog content is accurate
2. Update any references to old directory names in documentation
3. Consider adding a meta.json file for navigation ordering if needed
