Recent Change Log: Watch My Domains ISP v3

June-08-2010

• Registrant Address and Admin Phone are now monitored. Please use the "Config > Update DB" ribbon bar button to update your existing project database files. This is not required for newly created Projects.
• Some maintenance updates.

February-22-2010

• Removed an inconsistency in display format when the regional settings in the system uses dd/mm/yyyy format.

January-17-2010

• Now you can define http based proxy for any specific whois server. Please see http based whois.
• Support for HTTP/1.1 based whois proxy script (only if you use web based whois). Previous versions worked only if the whois script was uploaded to a hosting account with a dedicated IP address. It now supports virtual hosts.
• Name servers are always displayed in lower case now. Previously it was picked up exactly as it is in the last read whois data. This caused the NS data to be shown in mix of lowercase and uppercase.
• Secondary lookup support for CC domains. CC domains require a second lookup (similar to NET/COM/TV domains). The software does it automatically now.
• When you open a new document and lookups are in progress, you will be prompted to stop the lookups.
• The “Whois Setup” dialog displayed a harmless “"Delete Selected"” button that did nothing. This was removed.

October-03-2009

• Domain Finder (the tool in Watch My Domains ISP that identifies available domain names) will now work faster and better. It will also automatically identify the invalid IP addresses (for DNS based lookups).

August-29-2009

• You can now double-click on a domain name to edit the categories the domain belongs to.
• Bug fix: There was a problem with SQL queries that made of category name fields that start with "GRP_". This bas been fixed.

July-17-2009

• Added support for simple http based whois lookups.
• Added support for properly parsing dates that contain "rd", "nd", etc. Example: 22nd June 2007, 1st Jan 2004.

July-02-2009

• Routine maintenance update. Includes minor interface changes.

May-09-2009

• You can now disable domain alerts for specific domains. Use the manual edit option in Details Tab to enable or disable alert for any domain.
  
  Use the Config > Update DB button to update all your existing DB files and add the MXIP fields to the database. You need to do this once for existing DB files.
• The "Pending Delete" domain category will display domains that have a related text in whois output. This was not enabled before.
• If you drag the mouse and shrink the domain table or the details view panel to almost zero size, the panel will become hidden. You can now prevent this from happening in the "Application Settings..." dialog.
• Added default support for .TEL domains. Previously you had to manually configure .TEL support.
• The Remove duplicates option in Keywords tab has been improved. It will now clean up the list (trim leading and trailing spaces, remove repeated spaces, etc.) before removing duplicates.

Mar/17/2009

• Added 3 new columns that show the IPs corresponding to the MX Records. These are labelled MXIP1, MXIP2 and MXIP3. You can enable the display of these columns from the Setup Columns option in the context (right-click) menu.
  
  Use the Config > Update DB button to update all your existing DB files and add the "Disable Alerts" field to the database. You need to do this once for existing DB files.
  
  
• Calendar view includes a simple registration cost estimator. You can also setup the registration costs. We will be updating this with many more options in the future.
• Context menu added to calendar view. You can right click on a domain name in the calendar to do a whois lookup on it.
• The calendar view is now automatically refreshed if a domain whois lookup occured in the background. Previously you had to click the Refresh button to update the calendar.

  Note: this is different from the date format for regular data display within domain list. Regular domain data list always uses the date format as specified in the system regional settings.
• Added support for SMTP authentication (for domain alerts)
• Fixed an obscure bug in Keyword Manager.

10/18/2008

• Added an option to import domain notes from a CSV file. Right click within the domain list and select "Extra Columns > Import Domain Notes..."
