Versie 3.9.11 van Data Crow is uitgekomen. Dit catalogusprogramma kan orde scheppen in de chaos van zo'n beetje elke verzameling, of het nu om boeken, cd's, dvd's, foto's of muziekbestanden gaat. Waar mogelijk wordt allerlei relevante en aanvullende informatie van het internet gehaald, zoals bij IMDb, Amazon of Bol.com. Het programma is opensource en in Java geschreven, en het is dan ook eenvoudig om aanpassingen in het uiterlijk of de functionaliteit te maken. In versie 3.9 is onder andere de manier waarop de data wordt opgehaald veranderd. Hierdoor start het programma een stuk sneller en zijn de systeemeisen naar beneden bijgesteld. Het changelog van deze release laat de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen zien:
FixedChanged
- Filter ascending on multiple fields did not work correctly.
- Filters could not be saved for multiple relationship fields. After a restart of Data Crow they would appear as having a blank filter value.
- Saving a filter will now immediately update the quick filter tool bar.
- Errors related to an unexpected appearance of the COMPANY column in the database for persons. This column has now been removed to prevent NullPointerExceptions.
- ISBNDB.com: error message when retrieving the number of pages for books.
- ISBNDB.com: error message when retrieving publishers and authors.
- Description fields had a maximum length of 8000 characters. This size has now been changed to 2147483647 characters.
- Errors while merging external references.
- External references not updated after updating the item from an online search.
- NullPointerException while importing an item from a CSV file without mapping all fields.
- NullPointerException when selecting Undo Filter from the Filter menu.
- Upgrading from version 3.9.7 (or older) to 3.9.10 (or newer) is now no longer an issue.
