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.

LDView’s URL is http://ldview.sourceforge.net/. You can find LDView’s version history here:

http://ldview.sourceforge.net/ChangeHistory.html

The major releases all have their version number in a larger font and bold, and are x.y (as opposed to x.y.z). They are as follows:

0.1: 03 Jun, 2000 (Initial public release for testing.)
1.0: 17 Oct, 2000
2.0: 01 Jun, 2003
2.1: 03 Jan, 2004
3.0: 13 Dec, 2005
3.1: 09 Oct, 2006
3.2: 20 Aug, 2007 (Current)

Note that that’s just over 7 years worth of official releases, so I don’t think having more than 5 dates is excessive. If you want to pare it down to 5, use 1.0 (first non-alpha/beta release), 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2.

Travis,

Thanks for posting this info. I think it’s OK to have more than 5 dates, in fact, since I’d like to take this and visualize it somehow complete info is better. I can always cull it down to make it more visually presentable if needed.

I just sent you an invite to the Google sheet, would you mind adding the above?

-Tim

(...) OK, I added the info to the doc. I also created a Miscellaneous column, where I entered the two release dates that I didn't put in the other spots (for 0.1 and 2.1). Oh, and I resized the URL column to fit the URL I entered. Other people (...) (17 years ago, 12-Apr-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)
