[Darth Oosha]

Basically, I made some corrections and additions to Jackson's list of level release dates (originally posted here), and decided to put it in its own topic. Thanks go to Jackson for doing most of the work.

Notes:
* Most of the unsourced dates are taken from the date-modified information inside the levels' zip files as found on DF-21.
* Currently the list only completely covers levels in the "Missions" section of Downloads.
* If I make further changes, I'll probably just edit them into this post.
* Some dates may be off by one day due to sources using different time zones.
