Patch release dates

Post by Pacifist »

Does anyone have any idea when each patch was actually released? I've done quite a bit of searching and haven't found any information.

You could try downloading each patch. I'm sure there'll be a date in release notes or some readme.txt somewhere.

These are some of the the patch release dates based on the compile dates of the windows quake3.exe for that version. All dates in DD/MM/YYYY format:

1.32c - 08/05/2006
1.32 - 07/10/2002
1.31 - 11/12/2001
1.30 - 23/08/2001
1.29h - 31/07/2001
1.29g - 26/07/200
1.29f - 14/06/2001
1.27g - 04/12/2000
1.25y - 12/10/2000
1.25 - 22/09/2000
1.17 - 27/04/2000

id weren't consistent with their readme format and the file modified dates aren't reliable, so the build date on the exe is your best gauge. on the later releases (1.25 onwards) id seemed to do more testing on the exes before releasing, so the earlier versions were released on the same day they were built, but later ones were tested for a few days after the compile, then released.
