Version 1.3: - gendb now uses btrees for index handling during the database creation. This gives a major speedup for gendb, especially on systems with lots of memory. - The memory optimization of gendb_lm was further improved to have almost no negative impact on systems with enough memory. Thus gendb uses this optimization and gendb_lm is now obsolete. - Several lists grew beyond internal AMDb limits, fixed. - (Windows) The Windows Version now includes a graphical frontend called AMDbFront, written by Thorsten Wahl - (Windows) The Windows Version now includes an installer. Version 1.2.1: - There is a new version of gendb (called gendb_lm), which consumes less memory than the original one, but spends more time writing to the hard disk. On systems with 64MB and more, the normal gendb should be faster, but if it fails to create the database and it is not possible to add some space on the swap device, gendb_lm should be tried. On systems with less than 64MB gendb_lm should be used, since it is probably faster here. - New Biography tag "PT:" supported. - PM_AMD: Guest Appearances listed in a persons biography are now linked to the corresponding series. - Better error messages if files are missing or directories not found. - Sometimes gendb didn't include the Guest Appearances, fixed. - Some other bugs fixed. Version 1.2: - The cast list is now sorted by credit order if available. - The output of title and name in batchmode is redirected from stout to a file, if "-o " is supplied as the last option. WARNING: this file will be overwritten if it already exists! - Support for Video Games (VG) added. - PM_AMD: New Button "Vote!" creates a file which contains a vote for the displayed movie. Send this file as email to vote@imdb.com to submit your vote. PM_AMD logs your votes in the file "myvotes.log" and refuses new votes for movies you already voted for. This feature is based on and uses code from the vote.cmd Rexx-Script written by Oliver Heidelbach - AMD_REXX: New function AMDGetName() - (OS/2 only) vote.cmd and correct.cmd: These two scripts are contributions from Oliver Heidelbach . Version 1.1.2: - New Business tag "WG:" supported. - PM_AMD: The listbox didn't allow multiple selections, fixed. - Some small changes in the documentation. Version 1.1.1: OS/2 only! - Added two missing files which are needed for gendb. Version 1.1: - First release of the Alternative Movie Database for Win32 (commandline tools only!) - applydiffs: can now handle gzipped lists. - PM_AMD: It is now possible to make selections of multiple lines in the listbox. If a selection exists, only selected lines will be copied, saved and printed. If you want to start a new search by double clicking into the listbox, only one line must be selected! - PM_AMD: The size and position of the window and the font and colors of the listbox are now saved upon program termination and will be restored when you restart pm_amd. The font and colors of the listbox are also used for the entry field. The values are stored in the file pm_amd.ini, which is in the same directory as the executable. If you delete the ini-file, pm_amd uses its default settings. - PM_AMD: The contents of the listbox are stored in memory for the previous function, which should now work faster. - The iso-aka-titles.list is no longer supported due to the new iso-charset support in titles.list. - Guest appearances (as listed in biographies.list) are now displayed after the regular cast of a series. - A few bugs fixed. - gendb redirects its debug-output from stderr to a file, if a filename is supplied after option "-d". WARNING: this file will be overwritten if it already exists! - gendb should now find the IMDb lists on any filesystem. It tries for every list the long filename and, if this fails, the short (8.3) filename. Version 1.0.4: - Fixed bug which caused gendb to bail out on cinematographers.list Version 1.0: - first public release
