Key AGS Versions

This should be a sticky, because I'm sure is going to ask this and I think it's  important.

What are the key versions of AGS? That is, versions that drop an important feature and so on.

I remember the following:

2.2 - Last version with the original scripting system (I think? I'm not really sure. I used it to work on the old rob blanc games for the windows version, though!)
2.31 - Last DOS editor
2.4b - Last version that supports graphical scripts
2.62 - Last version with the original scripting system
2.7 - Object-oriented scripting and beyond!

Any more? Where can I get these, anyway? Basically I'm reinstalling everything on my computer and I want to have these in my AGS folder, because they're useful from time to time.

2.56 (??) - Regions Introduced

?

[edmundito]

well, it's not that it's going to affect your game if you open it with that version

[Ishmael]

Oh, right, sorry.

Where can I get these, anyway?

I think a couple from your list are available on  strazer's tidbits & snippets page.

Just a question on this subject... What ever happened to AGS 2.63?  I mean, I tested the BETA version, was the one that suggested some of the things that were implemented, downloaded and used the full version, and now it doesn't exist any more.  I mean, every documentation I have read says that 2.63 never existed but yet I distinctly remember using it!

Since too many things had been changed, V2.63 was renamed to V2.7 during beta process. So, V2.63 is actually V2.7.

Oh!  Thanks for clearing that up.  I missed that part, but I had thought that 2.63 was officially released.  Guess not... But 2.7 is way better anyway.
