I’m not the original author, but I am able to see the date of the first release, and it was September 9, 2009.
Thanks for the date.
Where did you find that?
Was that found downloading the first initial version (1.0) and opening the ZIP to see the modified date?
If it was found there, I just did that and it was Sept, 8, 2009.
(I did not realize we can download the original ZIP, found in the “Advanced View”, of the right panel of the main plugin page.)
Through version control software. WordPress uses Subversions software. I have a Subversions client, Versions and it shows the date when version 1.0 was checked in.
Ok, I see. That is where you were able to see the date. It then appears the date I just found is when he made the ZIP, and yours is when he registered it with WordPress.
Give or take a day.
At least, finally, here in this forum, I was able to dig for the date, which really should have been included in the changelog.
Thanks for your help, appreciate it. 🙂
