Future plans: auto-update of Wings900-values in your collection!

*****

May 2, 2008 - DiecastAdmin 1.2 version 5 has been released. Existing versions will now auto-update to 1.2.5. New users can download the latest version on the left.

Version 5 has solved a lot of bugs. If you find any new bugs, please report them on Wings900, so I can keep improving the program.

January 8, 2008 - Please note that DiecastAdmin 1.2.2 will update itself to version 1.2.3 if you have an open internet connection. This is a highly recommended update! Version 1.2.3 for new users will be available for direct download as soon as possible. Due to the lack of an internet connection in my new home, no time can be specified. The internet problems should be solved in June 2008 (fingers crossed).

October 12, 2007 - New users can download the updated version 1.2.2

October 11, 2007 - The second update for DiecastAdmin 1.2 fixes the region settings errors and some Null-value errors. An auto-update feature has been implemented, so this second update is the last one that has to be installed manually.

October 5, 2007 - First update for DiecastAdmin 1.2 fixes some bugs. Note that users with Region/Country-settings set to English or United States still get a mixed up Statistics-screen. This is not harmfull for your modeldata and will be fixed in the next update.

September 14, 2007 - First version available for download. After some import issues and problems with the third party install-program, the program looks stable enough for distribution. Please read the documentation on the program before use.

May 30, 2007 - The program is nearing completion. Just waiting for the bugs the owner of Wings900 can find and maybe some of his ideas will be added.

April 18, 2007 - DiecastAdmin version 1.2 is almost ready. Only the Wings900-database connectivity has to be streamlined and tested. Some minor errors have to be corrected.

January 30, 2007 -  Screenshots are available! You can now see five of the most important screens from the program.  Click on "Screenshots" on the left.
