Notes: Razish introduced g_fixSaberMoveData in OpenJK PR #1178 on 2023-10-08; TaystJK PR #29 imported the still-open OpenJK work later that month. The cvar optionally restores Base JKA behavior but is not itself present in the Base JKA source 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.
