> Why the interest in these dates? Are you a
historian?

I am not a historian, but I like history. :-) I feel
software should keep a good record of their important
dates, e.g. the release date. This information might
be a valuable material for future. Anyway, this is
rather a personal opinion.

In that case, I shall treat the release dates as the
one included in the Readme file.

>> Crypto++ 4.0 - 02 Nov 2000 
>> Crypto++ 4.1 - 13 Jan 2000

Oh ya, I didn't notice it. Thanks.
