In the pak0.pk3, there is a games.log that has a possible clue to the November 21st build of Q3A. Obviously, it was 1.11. Here's the full games.log:

Oh, & did I also mention that Q3A went "gold" the same day Pokémon Gold/Silver was released in Japan? What a coincidence... XD

Nothing special about that. ALL of the files in pak0.pk3 carry the Nov 21 timestamp. It did not go gold on Nov 21, but Nov 23, and v1.11 was the initial release build.

You're chasing after debugging symbols.

Fragistics (@ sourceforge.net/projects/fragistics/) could show webpages about the activities shown here.
If only I knew how to make a bit of text a link :(
Here's an example: a.fsdn.com/con/app...shots/97512.jpg
Another example: a.fsdn.com/con/app...shots/97510.jpg
Also Q3Logger can do that too. & it seems Fragistics is based on the Q3Logger source code.

leilei, it actually went gold on the 24th of November, not the 23rd.
