TIMELINE

Mostly used in the TIMELINE SECTION. Specifies milestones in the computer's lifetime. This is used like this: 'Released in <TIMELINE TYPE="RELEASED">1989;4;19</TIMELINE>.'. The TYPE attribute is optional, and declares the type of the milestone. The following types are acceptable:

LEAKED: first rumours about this computer leaked.
ANNOUNCED: official announcement.
RELEASED (the default value): when the computer was finally released.
PRODUCTIONENDED: when manufacturing ended for this machine.
ALLSUPPORTDROPPED: obvious.
REVIVED: when this machine was revived by enthusiasts.
REVIVALENDED: when the revival project ended (a sad occurrence indeed).
OTHER: some other milestone.

The date is in fuzzydate format. There are three different ways of specifying it (in the example above, December 1989 is specified as 1989;12).

Year only (e.g. 1989), if only the year is known.
Year and month only (e.g. 1989;12). This renders into something like December 1989.
Full date in ISO ordering (e.g. 1989;12;23). This renders into something like 23rd December 1989.
