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.

Also, I didn't like the spreadsheet stripping of the .0, so I added a v prefix to all my version numbers so (...) (17 years ago, 14-Apr-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)
