LDraw's history hasn't been updated for a long time. With permission from BrickJournal publisher Joe Meno we are going to mirror an article published in BrickJournal, Spring 2006, Volume #1, Issue 4, which covers also the missing years 'til 2004. This leaves us with 2005, 2006 and 2007. Browsing the various newsgroups a Lugnet I compiled a chart of the highlights, but the list is far from being complete. Feel free to add the missing pieces to this post at Lugnet.
