Dates of old Gradle distributions reset to 12-Feb-2020

All the dates of the Gradle distributions older than 6.2-rc-3 in https://services.gradle.org/distributions/ has been reset to 12-Feb-2020. It could be caused by some administration task and it somehow inconvenient as it was the easiest way to check when a given version was released (e.g. to determine how long time ago the version I want (need) to force the users of my plugin to use was released).

Could the original dates be restored?

We migrated the S3 bucket the distributions were stored in and that reset the timestamps. I’ll see if there’s a way for us to restore the original dates.

The dates are also kept here: https://gradle.org/releases/
