Why the interest in these dates? Are you a historian? The dates in the Readme files do not always correspond to release dates. Usually they list dates when the last code change takes place, but release often happens later for various reasons (for example further testing, or waiting for export-controlled FTP sites to publish the files (thankfully that's no longer a worry)). > Unfortunately, I could not find any release date > information for version 2.2 Readme for 2.2 is dated 5/2/1997. > Crypto++ 1.1 - 04 Nov 1995 (this date is obscure) Readme is dated 10/27/1995. > Crypto++ 4.0 - 02 Nov 2000 > Crypto++ 4.1 - 13 Jan 2000 Did you notice that 4.1 is dated *earlier* than 4.0? It's a typo, and should be 1/13/2001 instead.
