---------------------------------------------
Bug Fix release - minor feature additions and interface tweaks.

1. GTLTool now recognises
- 705 Cars
- 1,068 Tracks

2. Bug Fixes
- Sorting bug - Main laptimes listbox - If there were
only 2 entries, GTLTool could end up in an infinite loop.
- Opel Kadett B - wrong class GTC-TC-76 changed to TC-65
- At times the Main Form Statusbar would become corrupt.
- Regional issue (Locale). Some users from countries that use
any other character than a decimal point (period), for the
decimal symbol would get a 'floating point conversion' error.
Thanks to OlliZabal for pointing this out - cheers mate !

3. Additions / Changes
- Added 12 Cars.

the player's career.blt path.

You can now use GTLTool solely for GTR2, without
first having to point GTLTool at a GTL install.
- Added 'Live' refresh of data. You no longer have to
exit and restart GTLTool to see your latest laps.
Just reselect the player name.
- Main Form - Instead of displaying country name, the
label underneath the Track name now toggles between
track length and distance travelled.
- Many minor internal changes.

Version 1.3.4 - October 2012
----------------------------------------------
Minor update for features and additional tracks and cars.
Switched development to Windows 7.

1. GTLTool now recognises
- 554 Cars
- 959 Tracks

2. Bug Fixes
- GTR2 track - Moorlands - wrong length - FIXED
- GTR2 default car, Viper Competition Coupe
wasn't recognised - FIXED
- GTL track - Cartagena's country was missing - FIXED
- GTL Benchmark GTC-TC-76 for Monthlery 1966
was incorrect - FIXED

3. Additions / Changes
- Added 44 Cars and 62 Tracks.
- GTL LM55 Cars now have class designation of LM-55
instead of their real GTL class designation.
- Track Info - added 'Installed' column to denote whether
or not the track is installed.
- Changed GTLTool header graphic as well as graphics
for the About Form.
- Added sizing and sorting to the Missing Bits Form.
- Minor cosmetic adjustments to interface, mainly
because I now use Windows 7 and some of the forms
didn't look quite right under Windows 7.
- Unrecognised Tracks & Cars List now updates after a
player change.

4. Known Issues
GTL
- All non-mod Chevrolet Corvettes are designated as
GTC-TC-76
GTR2
- DTM94 Mod Ford Mustang has same car name as GTL Ford
Mustang. If you drive both in GTR2 then they will both show
as [DTM94] Ford Mustang.
Both
- Multiple tracks with the same name cause a conflict
in GTLTool. The situation can arise whereby 2 (or more)
track makers have made the same track and have used the
same internal name for their respective tracks. It ends
up that the career.blt file has 2 different paths to the
same tracks .trk file. I have yet to address this.


Version 1.3.3 - April 2012
----------------------------------------------
Bug Fix Update with additional tracks and cars.

1. GTLTool now recognises
- 510 Cars
- 897 Tracks

2. Bug Fixes
- Wrong labelling and logic errors in Add Player - FIXED
- 79F1 Mod for GTR2 wasn't showing total distance driven
in Cars List - FIXED
- Misano 2002 for GTL had it's track length pretending
to be it's country name - FIXED
- Drouin Park for GTL wasn't showing it's Track Length - FIXED
- Dubai International for GTR2 was wrongly designated
as Dubai Intermediate - FIXED
- Add Player - if there was no GTL or GTR2 in the path to the
career.blt file then GTLTool would assume GTL - FIXED
The game type is now saved to gtltool.ini file.
- GTR2 career.blt files store multiple trackstat data depending
upon the mode (novice, semi-pro, pro) driven. GTLTool merges
this data into one trackstat entry per track. This routine was
returning the slowest laptime and not the fastest laptime -
FIXED
- GTR2 tracks, Oschersleben 2004 and Oschersleben B-
Course were missing their country designation - FIXED
- Change Track LOD - I wasn't taking into account that a track
folder can often hold more than one track. A good example is
the default GTL track, Anderstorp.
<GTL Folder>\Gamedata\anderstorp has 3 tracks -
Anderstorp, Anderstorp North and Anderstorp South and each
has a track lod. GTLTool was renaming the track lod to
orig_lod.jpg. Any one of those tracks would think that it had a
replacement lod and when told to revert would take
the orig_lod.jpg. I wasn't using unique file names for the
backup of the original track picture. This was bad as you
could end up with, in the Anderstorp case, Anderstorp South
having Anderstorp's original lod and Anderstorp being stuck
with the alternative lod with no way to change it back
with GTLTool. Now a unique filename is used for all tracks.
The original lod's filename is now changed from .jpg to .zzz -
FIXED


3. Additions / Changes
- Added 159 Tracks and 25 Cars
- Added specific info to 'wait' Dialog for operations that can take
a long time. Now when calculating Cars Info, wait dialog now
shows 'Calculating Cars' - Statistics and change player
operations also work the same way.
- Tracks List - Sync with main checkbox no longer acts
immediately when clicked.
- Track Picture - A graphical 'plus symbol' is now overlayed if
you have installed a replacement lod for that track.
- Change Track LOD - A list of previously used pictures is now
kept for each track. If the picture file no longer exists then it is
not shown in the list.
- Added country flags for Lithuania, Singapore and
South Korea.

4. Known Issues
GTL
- All non-mod Chevrolet Corvettes are designated as
GTC-TC-76
GTR2
- DTM94 Mod Ford Mustang has same car name as GTL Ford
Mustang. If you drive both in GTR2 then they will both show
as [DTM94] Ford Mustang.

----------------------------------------------
Minor Update for additional tracks and cars, bug fixes etc.

1. GTLTool now recognises

- 440 Cars

2. Bug Fixes
- GTR2 info was not being processed correctly resulting in
missing info for GTR2 cars in the Cars Information Form.
- Upon first run or change of GTL location, the list of players
started with an empty player. This bug seems to have been
introduced in version 1.3.0
- When removing an added player by double-clicking in the
add player - added player list, No check was done to see if
the player being added was the one just removed.
- Duplicate Players in the Remove Add-on Player Menu.
- Cars Information Form's status bar had display errors.
When the Addon or Default tab was selected (in either
window pane), the status bar showed the total number of
unrecognised cars, when actually neither of the tabs were
displaying any. Slightly un-intuitive and now behaves the same
as the Tracks Information Form.
- Track Sync with main was always on the next time GTLTool
ran even if you unchecked the checkbox
- Spelling errors in reference to country pictures.
Certain countries would have caused an error in displaying.

GTLTool will assume that the added career.blt file comes from
an install of a simbin game and will attempt to get its track lod
from the added players game install directory.
- Basic support for GTR2 players - default cars, classes and
some addon cars and tracks.
- You can now 'dump' GTLTool's recognised bits to 3 .CSV files.
One each for Cars, Tracks and GTL Benchmarks.
- Added 'Sync to Main' checkbox to the Tracks Info Form. When
checked, all selections made in the Tracks Info Form will be
synchronised with the Main Form. i.e if you select a track in
the Track Info Form, that track will be selected in the Main
Form. This goes for the All, Addon, Default & Unrecognised
tabs too.
- Bottom Right most status bar panel for the Cars Information
Form now displays the number of laps completed for each of
the Addon, Default, & Unrecognised track categories for the
selected car. The All tab continues to display the number of
default tracks driven for the selected car.

career.blt file.
- GTLTool's working copy of the GTL player file - career.blt is
saved to <GTLTool Location>\tmp\<player name>\career.zzz
instead of to the same dir as career.blt

This should allow you to connect GTLTool to a network install

career.blt file.
- GTLTool's working copy of the GTL player file - career.blt is
saved to <GTLTool Location>\tmp\<player name>\career.zzz
instead of to the same dir as career.blt
i.e <GTL Location>\UserData\<player name>\career.zzz.
This should allow you to connect GTLTool to a network install
of GTL via a mapped drive.
These temporary '.zzz' files are removed when GTLTool is
closed.

Fixed, though a little slow ( you can see it work !)
