Crossfire Development Timeline

Significant and noteworthy milestones in Crossfire's development — new races and classes, new maps and content, engine features, protocol changes, client work, and the infrastructure moves that carried the project from a 1992 Usenet post asking for help to a set of repositories still taking commits today. Reconstructed from the original Usenet and mailing list archives, the release announcements, and the commit history of the project's code repositories and community branches.
