In Jay's changelog

What Jay's changelog for GTS says about it, newest revision first. A later revision can have changed it again; the rest of this page is what base GTS does now.

V114 Orpheus The Absent Minded: There's a side quest that can trigger if Orpheus is with you when you visit the Winking Skeever in Solitude. However this quest is only supposed to start after starting the Awakening quest from Dawnguard. If it starts earlier, Orpheus leaves your party and becomes unresponsive lol. This script now checks for stage 10 of Awakening, to prevent the bug from happening. Kudos to SpinPigeon for the fix.
V100 Let There Be Light: Improved the lighting inside the Winking Skeever as it was way too dark.

From base GTS 118's own records: the winning copy of SolitudeWinkingSkeeverLocation (Skyrim.esm). Boss: who the place's own record marks as its boss (one picked by level has no name of its own and isn't shown). People: where the game places them as a game starts; they walk about.
