Subject: Re: Chronology - Questions to John about JSW64 release dates
1. No. JSW64 went straight from HL1 (the initial Z-format room storage
mechanism) to HL7 (rough feature parity with JSW128).
2. According to the JSWED changelog, 24/7/2004.
3. According to the JSWED changelog, 17/8/2004.
4. Looks about right to me.
5. Depends how much detail you want to go into. If you want to keep them in,
I'd call them 'bug-fixed revisions'.
6. I would take 28 Feb 2005 as the gamma-release date.
7. I would guess that I originally created the page on or about 18/4/2005,
though the earliest copy I have is dated 30/4/2005, the date it was announced
to the group.
8. Annoyingly, all builds of JSW64 to the present day still identify
themselves as 0.00HL8, so I'm going to have to fall back on version numbers
given in documentation. The earliest documentation I can find with a version
number is 0.01HL11, in a file dated 29/12/2004.
