Subject: Chronology - Questions to John Elliott about JSWED's release dates

 

As mentioned before, I am currently working on the detailed (as much as possible) chronology of the development of MM and JSW games for the ZX Spectrum, to be put online at JSW Central in a hopefully not-too-distant future.


I have a number of dates missing and I will gradually post questions here to see if anyone can help.


My first batch of questions goes to John Elliott, with a kind request to help as much as he can.


I have the following release dates for JSWED - question marks mean a missing date or some other kind of uncertainty:


Any public beta releases before version 1??? If so, when?


JSWED 1.00 - ?


JSWED 1.01 - ?


JSWED 1.02 - ?


JSWED 1.03 - ? 


JSWED 1.04 - 5 August 1998 


JSWED 1.05 - ?


JSWED 1.06 - 13 June 2000


JSWED 1.07 - 25 June 2000


I believe this was the last 1.x version of old, wasn't it?



Then came, TTBOMK:



- Anything in-between ???



JSWED 1.9.1 - 17 December 2000

Please note that the release dates are in most cases taken from the announcements in this Group, which I believe uses the time from one of the American time zones. Therefore, in some cases there may be a one-day difference between the date I indicate and the date when you, John, actually released a given version of JSWED while being physically in the UK (I presume). Should you want me to correct any such discrepancies, I will be most happy to oblige, just let me know which ones need correction, please.


I look forward to any help you may give me with this, John, and I could not miss this opportunity to THANK YOU for the exceptional, wonderful tool JSWED is! 


Daniel
