	14:28, 27 July 2019	900 × 600 (314 bytes)	FDRMRZUSA	Slight correction for "stars" position on X axis (left star: 221.142>221.140; right star: 521.142>521.140). Now "stars" position is perfect: center of the "star" at 1/3 of flag width from the nearest edge (according to related construction sheet: "File:Approximate Construction of the Flag of Syria.svg"). Y axis unchanged (225.000). No other changes.
