Hey everyone - 

First time poster - hope I’m choosing the right list :)

I’m working on a personal project where I’m trying to gather major date milestones for different artistically geared programming environments. I posted a writeup about the intentions behind it and started a google group for others interest in tracing similar histories - I’m personally choosing to take on tracking down dates from the late 90’s to present in terms of major release milestones of different frameworks. Here is the public doc I’m working on for different dates.

Is there someone on this list that might be able to help me track down and verify some major milestones for PD? Wikipedia pretty much says 1996/1997 and then nothing else but 2018. PD’s Github obviously has a lot of history on it as well, but as a bit of a community outsider, I wouldn’t want to pretend I could identify major dates by looking at commit history :)

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!
