NRatings v2.5.3 released
2586 days
The new version is now compatible with the recent updates over at racing-reference.info.
Grab it from the NRatings page.
Meanwhile, I’ve been working on v3.0 which will have an extra dataserver as layer between the clients on the users machines and the racing-reference.info website. This way, when RR does another website update, I’ll only have to update the dataparsing code on the server, while this will be transparent to the clients and no new clientversion is needed. The two minor drawbacks will be that there won’t be a local database anymore, so you’ll have to be connected to the Internet every time you wish to update your ratings to the latest real life data. The second one is that the program will probably be slightly slower. But I think the advantage has the upper hand here over these 2 small disadvantages.
Still got some work to do on that though so it won’t be for any time soon. I hope RR sticks to their format now for at least a good couple of weeks, to give me time to finish my new structure.

NRatings v2.5.2 broken…
3594 days
Racing-reference.info has once again updated its internal URL system, meaning that the current version of NRatings (2.5.2) cannot download data from it any longer.
Will try to fix it asap.
Stay tuned.
