There are probably 2 important milestones in the project...the first is that the structure changed a lot up until the 0.9.21 release, at which point I was mostly happy with the framework and then it was a matter of cleaning up small items until the 1.0.0 release.  At 1.0.0 the API was set and we have tried to maintain compatibility in the 16 subsequent releases (so there are additions, but little or nothing has been removed from the API).

For a case study, I have taken jfreechart for an evolutionary study as it enjoys the maximum number of downloads from users all over the world. It would be nice if I am able to access the design information i.e. major design changes that were done to jfreechart right from the first version till now. This, I believe would definitely help in interpreting certain research facts.
