I also applaud the addition of VERSION HISTORY in the documentation -- it is
a real benefit to those of us who need to write software to work on
different IDL versions.

On a somewhat related note, I had a recent need to determine the release
dates of the new IDL versions, to help decide what should be the minimum
IDL version our software package should (guarantee) support. By looking
at the first discussion of the version in the comp.lang.idl-pvwave archives,
I came up with the following table. --Wayne Landsman

V5.6 November 2002
V5.5 September 2001
V5.4 December 2000
V5.3 January 2000
V5.2 December 1998
V5.1 May 1998
V5.0 June 1997
