Hi folks,
as you might know LDraw’s history:
http://www.ldraw.org/Article11.html
hasn’t been updated for a long time. With permission from BrickJournal
publisher Joe Meno I’m going to mirror an article published in BrickJournal,
Spring 2006, Volume #1, Issue 4, which covers also the missing years ‘til
2004. This leaves us with 2005, 2006 and 2007. I browsed the various
newsgroups compiling a chart of the highlights, but the list is far from
being complete. Feel free to add the missing pieces. I’m gonna put it into a
fine reading once the highlights are complete.

Willy,
Good summary of the past couple years. Two things I’d love to see are:
1) A side-by-side timeline of development and milestones for various LDraw
tools. Somewhat like a Gantt chart.
2) A feature matrix of the various tools and the major functions they
perform.
I can put the graphics together if there’s a comprehensive tool list and
people can fill in release dates and associated summaries.

Hi Tim,
any help is much appriciated and I’d love to see such a graphic along with the
history. Best would be if our code gods could reply to this post and list the
release dates of their tools.

If anyone wants to be invited as a collaborator so you can edit it, let me know.
I admit the columns aren’t set up perfectly (as there could be any number of
release dates/milestone dates to capture), if anyone has a better suggestion for
the one:many nature of those dates feel free to suggest it.
