	~~In 2002, Dave Baranec (one of the individuals who worked on FreeSpace 2), released the FreeSpace 2 source on the now-defunct [http~~://~~www.volitionwatch~~.com/ ~~Volition Watch]~~.		Now recorded here: https://github.com/scp-fs2open/fs2open.github.com/wiki/History-and-Release-Timeline

	~~Although the code was missing major components (such as the PXO multiplayer code and the ability to play movies), new features, such as glowpoints, were quickly added~~. ~~Ship class limits were bumped.~~

	The individual programmers who were making enhancements to the original code soon organized themselves into the FreeSpace Source Code Project and kept on working. Glow mapping, shine mapping, DirectX 8.0 support, a new multiplayer network system and dozens of new SEXPs have followed over the years.
	~~<!-~~- ~~Maybe compile a time ordered list of additions and upgrades to the code~~ and ~~link it here~~ -->
