Quick summary
To do: color-code clarifications/addendums vs actual rule changes.

2014: Unauthorized deliberate team shuffle is instant forfeit. Second alternate is instant forfeit. Mandatory broomholder (including mixed doubles) must have one foot/wheel on ice, or stone is 'burned'. Player damaging the ice is ejected after 2 warnings. Leaving items unattended is prohibited. Except simple stopwatches, electronic devices are forbidden. Penalty for wearing gloves with sensor handles (and other unspecified delivery violations): 'burn' the stone. Mixed curling added. Mixed doubles curling allows team official as 4th wheel. No more rethrow in mixed doubles delivery violation. PED allowed via TEU. Prohibited substance penalty is DQ and possible suspension. E-smoking counts as smoking. Explicitly rule instant forfeit if a team can't start with 4 players. Improper uniform is denied access. Thinking time introduced. LSD/DSC stuff.

Personal observation: with most delivery violations now resulting in a 'burned' stone, it's notable that throwing opposition's stone is still forgivable, remedied by replacement. I suppose it's because there is absolutely no advantage in committing this infraction. It's weird, though, that mandatory broomholder is now explicitly required to have at least one foot/wheel on the ice (why???).

2015: Max LSD is now 199.6 cm instead of 185.4 cm. Mixed doubles: officials overrule players on which of the 6 guard position to use based on ice condition; house stone moved to back 4; power play; no more mandatory broomholder. Coaching bench banned from eavesdropping broadcast. Add more thinking time for wheelchair. Clarifies who can attend team meeting at half time break. Wrong clock running is remedied by adding double the difference. LSD stuff.

2016: Snow plough sweeping allowed. Allow double touch delivery. Bumper bouncer is reset by non-offending team. Broom rehaul post broomgate + glossary entries. Must still play required minimum number of ends, even if "arithmetically" (no longer "mathematically") eliminated. When non-offending team is given hammer because of delay of start of game by offending team, it can now decline it. R15.j: make sure mixed doubles 1&5 thrower can not throw more than 2 stones in case of delivery violations. Allow 3-person starting team with permission. No clock running error is remedied not by subtraction, but by addition for the opposition instead. Travel time is given to all times even when there's no travel.

2017: A player that left can re-enter a game in progress only between ends. Rule on wrong team delivering first stone of an end (R5(l)). R11(a) on arithmetically eliminated: can finish current end (unless it's last end), may not start new end. Extra 30s between ends in mixed doubles when players are responsible for placing positioned stones. LSD assignment for 3-person/5-person teams. No more tiebreaker games. 6 teams playoff format for Men's, Women's, Wheelchair. Shorts are banned.

2018: 5-rock. Anyone can observe measurement (R11(d)). Delivery stick & wheelchair rules. Mixed doubles blanked end due to measurement retains choice of hammer. Minimum age 16 year old for team officials. Major competition format changes.

FAQ

 * Could you please explain the 3 rock rule?

FGZ

 * Taking out your own guard was a FGZ violation in 3 rock rule.
 * Non-offending team had the option to ignore FGZ violation in 3 rock rule, and in 4 rock rule up until 2004.

WCF 2002
If a running stone is touched by any of the playing team or by his equipment, the touched stone shall be removed from play immediately by that team. However, if in the opinion of the opposing skip, removal of the stone would be beneficial to the offending team, then he may place the stone as nearly as possible to the position where he considers it would have come to rest had it not been touched. He may also reposition any stone or stones that would have been displaced had the running stone not been touched and been allowed to continue.

Curling Canada 2002
A delivered stone or stone set in motion shall not be touched by any player, equipment or personal belongings of the team to which it belongs.

Penalty: All stones shall be allowed to come to rest before any action is taken. [...T]he non-offending team may then remove the touched stone from play and replace all affected stones as close as possible to their original positions unless they select either of these alternative options:
 * 1) allowing the play to stand; or
 * 2) placing the touched stone and all stones it would have affected where they would have come to rest had the violation not occurred.

All WWCCs probably should follow example of 2018 Olympics instead

Note: WCF's tournament start/end dates are "incorrect", e.g. 2018 Olympics tournaments spans from event opening to closing dates, even though mixed doubles started before opening date, etc.
