So you want a timeline, huh? Well, that really can't be done, especially on an open-source project. Hopefully (VERY hopefully) it will be done by fall 2005 [update, 02/2006 - let's hope for late 2006 - at the very least before Vista (yuck) comes out]. At the moment, though, a timeline of what has been done can be put up.

 -  February 25, 2005: First functional track made using the Command Prompt Editor.
