Break's Amiga Demo Scene Collection history, v2.0.0-> TODO: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Fix and rewrite PHP code to remove warnings, errors and bad code.. - Party Browser (soon! honestly!) - Person Browser (quite useless until more content is inserted) - Smarter Stats page code (hopefully soon) - Customizable sorting in all views (v2.2?) - Total rebuilding of all internal tools (?) - User registration -> customizable everything (v3.0, in DISTANT future) - Start assimilating all sorts of metadata from scener infos to misc scene texts found in numerous places. The work has started, but this requires a lot of planning, a LOT of work to get the tools just right, and then there's the 2-5 decades of inserting information. So don't except anything major anytime soon. I'm implementing the features bit by bit, and adding data whenever I have the time and energy. - Total GUI rework is also needed, especially after all the aforementioned features are implemented. Perhaps I'll take some time to design it thoroughly beforehand as well, instead of just doing half-assed stuff as usual.. v2.1.0b2 mon 05.01.2009 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Credit sorting/grouping by author in Details page implemented - Proper Random Prod link with HTTP Refresh tag v2.1.0b1 tue 09.12.2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Quick Search vastly improved * Uses HTTP GET * Supports subpages for results - Useless full-list subpage system removed, first letter links now lead straight to the group directory - Imagegroup.php links and layout improved - Improvements to the Detail page design - Countless small changes, fixes and improvements.. - Power Search currently disabled, until I can improve it. v2.0.6 sun 05.06.2005 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Credits implemented. No real contents yet though, but see id 9266 (Rolling Ronny cracktro by Skid Row) for an example. - Credits icon also added to the main table, though it will probably be removed around the year 2020 when all releases have credits in the db.. :) - Very basic version of the person info page done. The group relation tables do not exist yet, and they'll require some effort to be implemented.. So there's not much info to be seen yet. - Details page updated with "Release Info" header, and the lack of an empty block when there's no screenshot. - Packs in the same series from the same group are now listed in packdisk's Details page. - Errors in pack result in "possibly incomplete" notice at the contents section. - Also some FAQ updates.. Ngh, I'm spent. Time to take a break. v2.0.5 sun 27.02.2005 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Group browser done. It's still a bit beta, but more metadata and such will be added in time.. - Update view done, with simple navigation. Any more would only be redundant. - Quick search now available all the time, and the menu is also visible on the Details page. - The menu layout is also smarter now. Might still have some horizontal space problems as it fills out though.. - Added CRC32 to searchable information. v2.0.5b3 tue 05.10.2004 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Had to remove the target=x -attributes from the links, since they don't work on my Firefox anymore. So everything opens in one window now. Gotta change the whole logic a bit and insert the top menu to the details page soon.. v2.0.5b2 tue 05.10.2004 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Removed AGA column from the main list and replaced it with an icon in the Info field. Also replaced textual error flags with an icon. Details-page updated accordingly. I'm not perfectly happy about how it turned out, but it'll have to do for now. :) - Party icon also added. - Fixed some ancient bugs in the Production Editor. v2.0.5b1 sun 26.09.2004 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Releases related to a party can now be listed. The party list page is still missing though, since I haven't had the time to insert all the date & location info. So as of now the only way to reach this feature is from the party links at the Details page, or guessing IDs of course. :) - Some very minor tweaks, mostly relating to date printing on the index page. - You guessed it, more stats! :) v2.0.4 sun 22.08.2004 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Replaced "Disks" with "Format" on list & details page - Updated Stats page accordingly. - Tweaked metadata order in Details page, should be more logical now. v2.0.3 fri 30.07.2004 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Added group links to the details page. It kinda messes things up because you'll have 2 main windows on your browser for a while.. But it was requested, so it's there. - Details page design was also tweaked towards perfection. - Screenshots by Group -page now only shows items with screenshots. They're also linked to the corresponding details page. - Fixed the sorting when using "order by date" in power search. - Added new Stats subpage with monthly insertion statistics. You can never have enough stats! :) v2.0.2 thu 15.07.2004 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - CRC32 info added to production details. Not many inserted yet obviously, but here are some examples: * http://www.arabuusimiehet.com/break/amiga/details.php?id=2829 * http://www.arabuusimiehet.com/break/amiga/details.php?id=1307 - Last update date also FINALLY recorded. No idea why this feature wasn't implemented before. - Missing addslashes-"bug" in quick and power search fixed, which means that searching with special characters will work again. :) - I removed the Contents-column from the main table to make room for the CRCs. The Content-icon is now displayed in the info field. It's a useless temporary thing anyway, as eventually ALL packs will feature content info. - Yes, more Stats categories! \o/ v2.0.1 sun 04.07.2004 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - The Group Screenshot page is a public feature from now on. Don't abuse it! You can find the link next to the list title when surfing in the exact group ID mode.. - The Group-shot file itself is quickly fixed legacy from old version, and I wasn't supposed to have those online anymore.. Oh well. I'll redo it when I have the time. It's mostly an internal whatchamacallit anyway. - Added links for top10 groups on Stats page, thanks to Sakke for the suggestion. - New Top10 Groups Excluding Packs -category also in Stats. :) - The quick search now remembers the selected type, as requested by Toni. - Fixed an IE-only bug occurring with the searches. Thanks again to Toni for this one! I must admit that the fix is pretty ugly, perhaps I'll improve it some day.. There are still some IE issues to deal with, but quite frankly I don't really care, as the browser is pretty much being run over by superior products (read: Firefox). I'm not one of those fanatic anti-MS-geeks, but since there are better alternatives.. - Some nearly invisible tweaks to the Details page. v2.0.0 wed 30.06.2004 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - New pages build completely from Scratch, except for certain minor snippets taken from v1.x. Slightly less awful PHP, potentially faster SQL and far less 1995ish HTML. No major visual changes to the design though, since I still like it and have received so many positive comments from others as well. - The most notable new external feature is probably replacing the Javascript Screenshot window with details.php, which not only shows the shot but also all other info regarding the product. Pack contents are also displayed if they exist, and the whole thing looks much better than the old image.php. - Power Search is improved, with the ability to choose where the desired string occurs in the findings. - Quick search was also modified to include an optional box for search target definition. (whoa, that sounded all cool and militaryish) - Btw, the amount of searches is now limited to 250. - In v2.0 it's also FINALLY possible to get exact URLs for exact groups. Now why the hell didn't I implement such simple but necessary feature before? - The "All" browsing mode had to go. Who the hell needed it? Furthermore, if you insist on using the alphabetical browser you'll be delighted to see the sub-page system is rewritten. It's still a bit wacky, but far less horrible than in v1.x. - The stats page now sports cool copper bars and a whole lot more of unuseful statistics. Yay! - I decided to toss out the Wanted section, as it wasn't really necessary. EVERYTHING not on the database is sorely wanted. - Naturally, there are plenty of internal changes not visible to the public user. For example the screenshot directory structure was changed, as 6000+ files in one dir tends to make things rather.. slow. - I also completely remade the pack contents table. The original idea was just plain wrong, and this one should be much less stressing on the server. With slightly more readable code, too! What's even better, this allows easy and fast viewing of pack contents in reverse. You'll see that as "Included in packs" on the details.php. - And naturally there are tons of bugs, oversights and illogicalities about. Looking forward to fix them all up.
