[Fpdb-announce] Release 0.29.906

[Carl G. <car...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I've just tagged and released 0.29.906. The tarball is available from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/fpdb/files/fpdb/0.30/fpdb-0.29.906.tar.gz/download

The .exe and .deb versions should be available in the next couple of days.

I was offline for a little while with elective surgery that prevented
me from being able to type, so the number of changes in this release
are a lot higher than i'd like. This is both good and bad. Bad because
the final 0.30 release is at least a week away and there are quite a
few major changes backing up in developer repositories, good because
it means FPDB development is active and healthy :)

Release Notes for 0.29.906:
- Zoom parsing for PokerStars. Expect lots of log errors if you play
Zoom - when you auto-import the hand histories, the HUD will attempt
to work and fail.
- Pacific/888 update for both cash games and tournament. Hud should
now work for both.
- Startup and logging fixes for non-ascii folders (see below)
- HM and PT3 exported files should import much more cleanly
- Bug 129 - Green line is now always on top
- Bug 138 - EUR symbol not displayed in Replayer
- FTP Tourney fixes for files containing 10K or 5M in blind levels
- Everest USD should now work
- Tournament results import no longer rebuilds the hudcache(!) after
every import. Massive speed improvement for anyone with 10k+ hhs that
plays tourneys.
- Party should now parse split pot games
- iPoker.it should now parse
- Reduce iterations for EV calculations (100k to 50k)
- OnGame antes should now work
- Winamax summary files can now be imported.
- Stars home games should work again
- Italian translation update.

I'm looking to fix any remaining HUD issues for Merge and OnGame
before the next release, if you are having issues i'm looking for:
a) Lines from the log surrounding "Merge.getTableTitleRe: returns: "
b) The text from the poker tables title bar.

Notes:

Pokerstars players:
- The HUD will only work if Pokerstars play-in language must be
English (This is set in Pokerstars/Language/Play in...)
- The history files must be activated and saved in English.  We
recommend saving history files for 9999 days, rather than the default
30 days.  All these options are set in Pokerstars/Options/Instant
HandHistory Options.... and in Pokerstars/Options/Tournament Summary
Options....
- Zoom HUD with not work.

Windows users:
- The fpdb package must be run from a folder path which contains
US-english chars only.
- Vista/Windows7 users - The windows login username must be an
admininstrator (this is set in the control panel)
- Previous issues with accented characters in usernames should be
fixed for this release.

Only the Italian translation was updated since the last release, if
you'd like to see FPDB translated now is the time.

Enjoy.
