Maxlength History
Way back on April 28, 2007 Marius Scurtescu (mariuss) created the Maxlength module for Drupal 5. It was inspired by functionality found in the ed_classified module.
On September 27, 2008 Marius released the Drupal 6 version of Maxlength.
Alex (a_c_m) joined the project that same year, enhancing the Drupal 5 version.
In 2009, Daniel Wehner (dawehner) helped create Maxlength 2.x for Drupal 6. Aron Novak joined the 2.0 efforts, helping it reach a beta 2 release.
In 2011, Michael Schmid (Schnitzel) lead the effort to port the module to Drupal 7.
Later that same year, Seed EM sponsored a 3.x release, which ported maxlength_js. Federico Jaramillo (jm.federico) and johnnygamba did much of that work.
In 2014, Fredrik Jonsson (frjo) helped release a Drupal 8 version of Maxlength.
James Barnett (barneytech) became a maintainer in 2015 and enhanced the 3.x version for Drupal 7.
