3 Introduction This document gives a historical record of the changes made to the dataset since its initial release. It will also contain, if applicable, a list of known errata that will be updated in the next release of the dataset. We encourage scholars using the data to always use the latest version available if possible, but provide this list as a reference point as to whether or not an upgrade from a previous release of the data is necessary for a particular analysis. Please note that the errata listed here should not be considered an exhaustive list of changes for the upcoming version, as newly discovered errors may be added at any time. 1 Changes from Version to Conflicts added ConflictID Location Territory Year(s) Myanmar Nagaland , Conflicts removed ConflictID Location Territory Year(s) India Dimaraji 2008 Conflict-years added ConflictID Location Territory Year(s) 1-23 Myanmar Karen Myanmar Karen Tajikistan 1997, Pakistan USA Mali 2009 Conflict-years removed ConflictID Location Territory Year(s) 1-25 Myanmar Arakan India Nagaland DR Congo (Zaire) Katanga Pakistan Balochistan Spain Basque Papua New Guinea Bougainville

14 Conflict Location Year(s) Variable Added Removed ID South Sudan Startdate South Sudan Startprec Libya Startdate India Startdate Bangladesh Startdate Change in ConflictID UCDP codes three different categories of organized violence and there has been a problem of mix-ups with regards to conflict id:s. Thus, in order to prevent confusion, the UCDP/PRIO Armed Conflict Dataset (which focuses on state-based conflicts) has introduced a 1 and a dash before the id. Non-state conflicts ( have a 2 and a dash before the id. Name change for states - All entries for Vietnam have been changed to Vietnam (North Vietnam). - All entries for North Yemen have been changed to Yemen (North Yemen). Slightly revised format for startdates As the UCDP event coding and georeferencing process has progressed, more precise information on conflict events have been found and systematised. To provide the user with as precise information as possible, some changes have thus been made to the format in which startdates are reported. For more information on this, see the codebook at 14

23 precisely coded) or 4 (month is assigned; year is coded precisely) meant that the day was set to the first of that month. In this version, however, this has been changed to the last of the given month. Furthermore, while in previous versions a startprecision of 5 (day and month are unknown, year is coded precisely), 6 (year is assigned) or 7 (year of first death is missing) meant that the date was set to 1 January, this has now been changed to 31 December. 23
