Notes: The earliest authored/submitted introduction is shared by openjk, eternaljk, rend2, taystjk, japro, newjk, vulkan; fork-lineage order selects openjk. Dated commit evidence identifies later registration changes relative to the origin snapshot.

Dated project introductions

Authored dates come from the exact registration’s first content commit, PR dates identify when work was proposed to each project, and integration dates come from each first-parent mainline. A project merging first does not override earlier upstream authorship or submission.

Later changes

These commits occur after the ultimate-origin introduction on TaystJK’s inherited first-parent lineage. Registration evidence is exact; behavior evidence requires a changed bound cvar reference or a changed registered command-handler hunk.

Date	Change source	Commit / subject	Evidence	Confidence
`2013-11-13`	OpenJK	`52dd792e9a6d` [SP] Decoupled viewmodel FOV from view FOV. Added option to not lower viewmodel at high FOV values. Defaults to inheriting view FOV and lowering viewmodel like base.	Changed registration, default, flags, module, renderer scope, handler, or gating. `code/cgame/cg_main.cpp`	`medium`
`2014-01-20`	OpenJK	`0d4797fcd711` [SP] JK2: Added cvars from mp: cg_fovViewmodel, cg_fovViewmodelAdjust	Changed registration, default, flags, module, renderer scope, handler, or gating. `codeJK2/cgame/cg_main.cpp`	`medium`
