I am very sure that 2.4 was released in 1989. I remember my manager at
AT&T Paradyne,
Seaton Kenworthy, standing in my cube in January 1989 with the new VI
2.4 tape in his
hot little hands.
Version name Release Date Notable Changes/Additions (as
best I can remember)
Version 2.0 1985? ??? (first "Parc" version I
ever saw or used--before this, I used the Tek version)
Version 2.1 1986? ??? (I don't remember how
this differed from 2.0)
Version 2.2 1987 Improvements to text
handling (I remember this because I had to fix the problems it caused)
Version 2.3 1988 User primitives. (I
remember this because I was assigned the task of creating color graphics
primitives)
Version 2.4 1989 (early) Exceptions, Filename,
SourceFileManager (I never actually used this version, but went straight
to 2.5).
Version 2.5 1989 (late) New syntax (symbols, radix
literals, assignmentOp). ParserCompiler. C-Connect. Bug fixes
Version 4.0 1990 (late) Smalltalk Portable Imaging
Model, View=>VisualComponent, Abstract text attributes
Version 4.1 1992 Bug Fixes
VisualWorks 1.0 1992 Gui

VisualWorks 2.0 1994 ObjectLens. Bug fixes
VisualWorks 2.5 1995 Events.
