New distributed project:Release date for well known engines

[Vinvin]

I'd like to create a list for all major versions for commercial and/or strong engines but I need the help the community : chose a family (or several), announce here which you chose (to not make redundant work), simply add the date YYYY-MM some blank after the name and you can reply in thread here with release date for a whole family. I'll compile all the data when finished ! Thanks !!

Here are all the versions (around 800) : http://home.scarlet.be/vincentlejeune/r ... ngines.txt (you can add older version if you want)

Kirill has release dates for all engines on his list. Click on each engine and you see the relese date. I'm sure he'd send them to you in a text file or something

(Also admire what must be the best ratings website out there)

Thanks Graham but there are not a lot of engines in common in both list, 800 here and 187 (mainly older and weaker) on Kirill's one.

In that list, the latest release date of my old engine "Surprise" is wrong, should be: 19-Oct-2007. For "KnockOut" it is correct.
