Version 2.0.0

Yay, it's here! If you are reading this message then you are looking at version 2.0.0… Everything should be functional as per the "What's New" page. Many thanks to all my evangelists for helping debug the new version. There are still a few things that I wanted to do, but they will have to wait for now.

I have converted most of the bill entries (all by 68 as of this writing) and about 75% of the hits to the new postal code system. The rest I will do as I have time this week. So if you find errors or click on a bill with a hit and only see one listing it's most probably because I still have to convert some stuff. As per normal, please email any problems to me as I don't have time to check the forums all the time.

The bill count and bill totals on the main page are now updated every 15 minutes to help save time, so don't freak out when you add some bills and the totals don't update. Also, the stats page is generated once per hour so it too is delayed in updating to help save time.

I also haven't enabled the automatic updating of the CMT scores so that script will be run irregularly by me for the next couple days. So don't freak out if your score isn't up to date. :)

I also never got a chance to properly support French, so depending on your browser/system setup, you may see a "?" where you would normally see a character with an accent (ie. e-acute).

Oh, and I never had a chance to look over the unconfirmed hits, so it's possible that you may see you hit count reduced over the next week or so also.

Well, I wouldn't say way different, but just different. The look is different, but the way things flow hasn't changed much. But glad you like it. :)

Congratulations dr, the site still is very clean and I like your new graphics.
The postal code system seems to work, I see some distances on hits that weren't there before. I'm not sure I like the limit on entries, but I don't see much cash. At least I've been upgraded to being "interested".

Nice work, dr!

One thing though, nevermind supporting the French characters, I'm only saying this because every time I enter a bill now, I'll have to face "Montr?al". Doesn't look good for french visitors.

Otherwise the improvements have been well worth the wait, I love the new look and the speed of things, one could almost get a stamp with the new logo, I like it that much.

Nice Top 10 page too! Everything all on one page.

Thanks, glad you like all the new stuff. As for the French character, I have to support them as the postal code data stores them as such. However, there will likely be a 2.0.1 release towards the end of the week and I will try to have that fixed for then.

Impressed with the speed!

And looking at archived messages is interesting.

But I was wondering about that red maple leaf in the header. Looks suspiciously like the one on a case of Molson (ack) Canadian!

I also like the fact that I can now see the hits I have given others on my hit list.. Right on DR.

AF: The bill scans are still available. I'm not sure if I'll integrate it into the site yet or not.

BD: Glad you like it. Ya, I got a tonne of email from new users who were confused about the fact that the only bill they entered produced a hit but didn't show up in their entries list. So I fixed that.

Pooga: Nope. I purchased that maple leaf from EyeWire. I also get that a lot about my tattoo, which is actually the maple leaf from Air Canada's AEROPLAN member card (no, not this one (I can't find a digital version online).
