What dates did every AIM version come out on?

I'm trying to assemble a calendar of sorts for AIM versions. Here's what I have:
AIM 1 - May 1997
AIM 6.0 Beta - September 30, 2006
AIM 5.9 - spring or summer 2005
If you know when other versions came out, please comment.

The closest you can come is by looking at the modified time for the aim.exe binaries after you install them. They'd be a bit behind release, but around the right time. You're going to be hard pressed to find out specific dates for several reasons:

1) The first versions were uploaded quietly to AOL's ftp site at random dates
2) There were few press releases for newer versions, I think the first I recall was 4.0 and then 4.3 or 4.5 being announced, aside from that they were silently changed on the site.
3) Minor versions were "announced", as in mentioned on the site, for the most part (e.g. 1.x), rarely ever the build was announced (1.x.x). And each minor version can have either one up to nearly 20 builds.

You may be able to find some if you can find archived beta tester sites and check the specific version, but this is more likely to work with AOL clients rather than AIM clients.
