Stepmania/Etterna Keyboard Pack Release Timeline 2004-2017

Thanks to IcyWorld for making this Stepmania history thread, that made getting some of these pack release dates a lot easier.

Notable charting related events that aren't pack releases included as italics.

Disclaimers/TODO

When I originally started working on this back in 2020, it was purely to satisfy my own curiosity, and consequently I didn't save the sources for most of the links I got these dates. This has become a problem, not only because it's less convenient for others to verify my work, but because for a lot of the 2009-2010 packs I referenced KBO posts, and that site is dead now. I hope to eventually fill out the rest of the sources eventually; if you happen to have sources for some of the uncited packs released on more obscure dead sites (KBO, ODI, etc.), please let me know; you probably have my Discord.

KBMP release date is confirmed from a database leak of arch0wl.com. I'd put it on archive.org for proof, but it's probably best to not throw an entire DB to the public, even if its nearly two decades old. Maybe I'll filter it out to just the thread topics sometime. Here's an FFR thread from the same day it was released as well; it's not concrete proof on its own, but still interesting.

There's also some packs I still need to put on here, mostly the stuff after around 2013ish could be filled in more.
