Software-update: Data Crow 3.8

Data Crow wordt in Java geschreven en stelt je in staat om een database bij te houden met daarin informatie over cd's, dvd's, software, boeken en muziekbestanden. Op deze manier is het mogelijk om een databank te draaien waar je eigen verzamelingen in terug te vinden zijn. Data Crow haalt automatisch aanvullende gegevens van internet, zoals tracklistings, beschrijvingen en de namen van de artiesten en auteurs. Daarnaast is het mogelijk om het uiterlijk van het programma aan te passen en je verzameling te printen. De ontwikkelaars hebben razendsnel Data Crow 3.8 laten uitvliegen, voorzien van de volgende aankondiging en lijst met aanpassingen:

Data Crow 3.8 has been released

For the most part a bugfix upon the 3.7 version but contains new online services as well. The 3.7 version contained errors which were not noticed while the 3.7 was in its beta stage. This release fixes 'all' of these issues. Note that this version has only be tested moderately.

New:

• Metacritic game and movie online service. An excellent resource for game and movie reviews.
• FreeBookSpot online service. A site from which e-books can be downloaded.
• Added sourceforge.net as an online service. Sourceforge.net hosts open source projects like Data Crow and many others.

Changed:

• Invalid auto numberers are now automatically removed on startup. They can become invalid due to removal of the field from the module.
• Added additional checks to see if an item was destroyed. Picture objects are now also internally recycled.
• The drive scanner and drive poller (part of the Drive Manager) can now be configured (from within the Drive Manager dialog) to run on startup.
• The category field of the software module has been changed to a multi-reference field.
• Items can no longer be deleted when referenced by other items.

Fixed:

• Reserved keywords could be used as module and field names causing all kinds of startup errors. Data Crow now actively checks whether the name is allowed.
• NullPointerExceptions when starting Data Crow and while working with items in the views.
• Grouping pane looses its grouping.
• Picture disappears when updating a newly added item.
• Strange images being written to HTML reports.
• NullPointerException when creating a report.
