Recent Change Log: Watch My Domains Professional

Jan-12-2012

• Added default support for additional domain TLDs including XXX. Previously this required manual configuration.
• Changed the application icon and improved some of the visual elements.

Oct-27-2010

• Fixed problem with CA domain expiry dates because of a format change (required a manual configuration change before)
• Added support for JP domains
• Improved data extraction
• Added an option in "App Settings" to specify the URL that will open when a domain name is double clicked. You can also use it to open third party sites by double clicking a domain in the list. If you specify {D} as a token in the URL, the {D} will replaced by the domain name. Ex: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/{D}
• Added extra configuration (app settings) buttons to default ribbon tab.

Aug-30-2010

• Improvements in lookup speed
• Added options in context menu (right click within domain list) to copy domain table in 'tab' separated format. You can paste 'tab' separated data directly into Excel.

July-26-2010

• Added built-in support for CO domains (required manual configuration in earlier builds)
• Added an option to disable secondary lookups for 'com' and 'net' domains (in app settings dialog)

February-22-2010

• 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

• Routine maintenance update. Includes minor interface changes.

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.

July-02-2009

• Routine maintenance update. Includes minor interface changes.

May-09-2009

• 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.

Mar/16/2009

• Simple maintenance update.

Feb/03/2009

• The details tab now displays/edits dates in mm/dd/yyyy format. You can change this to dd/mm/yyyy using the "Config > App Settings" dialog. Please make sure that you restart the software if you change the date format for the details tab.
  
  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.
• Now you can sort TLD-wise by clicking on the "#" column.
• You can optionally make the "#" column to sort based on original insertion order by changing the setting in the "Config > App Settings" tab button.

Jan/11/2009

• Improved some of the messages displayed by the software.
• Added built-in support for KR domains. (KR domains were already supported through manual configuration)
• Minor Interface Improvements

• Improved Whois Configuration and TLD / ccTLD Handling

This is a simple maintenance update and is not critical. Update your installation only if you want to.

10/31/2008

• The exported CSV files include a header now.
• There was a bug in the exported CSV files when text that contain a linefeed or carriage return is part of the exported data. This is now fixed.
• The data entry box in "Add Domains" dialog has a buffer size of 1MB now. This means that you can paste text contents of upto 1MB into it. Previously this was much less (Windows default). To add domains from bigger text files, use the "Import" option instead of "Add Domains".

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..." The first row in the CSV file should contain the header names. If the notes contain a "," wrap the entire entry within quotes. You can see a sample CSV file below. Please note that the CSV file need not contain all four "notes" columns.

domain,notes-a,notes-b,notes-d
domainpunch.com,Invoiced,"Hello, There",ZZZZZ
softnik.com,AA,BB,DD

• Added support for SE domains. SE domains were previously supported through manual configuration.
• CSV export failed when the list contained domain names in other languages (IDN). Fixed
• CSV export - now prompts for a .CSV file instead of .TXT

09/24/2008

• Added a new option for data extraction (string token) that will allow picking a specific line number after a token text. For example, use Registrant:@@#L#2 as the string token to extract the second line after the occurrence of Registrant:
• Added in-built support for BE domains.
• Added a check box for enabling Internationalized Domain Names (IDN) to the "Add Names" dialog.
• Bug Fix: Fixed data extraction failure when the required data is in the very last row of whois record.
• Bug Fix: Fixed IP address display bug when the domain name contains an uppercase letter.

09/03/2008

07/30/2008

• The "Programs" folder now includes a shortcut for starting the software in safe mode. This will start up the software without loading some of the registry settings and can be used to fix occassional problems due to a bad or corrupt program setting.

12/14/2005

• Nominet changed the whois formats on Dec 13 2005 and this required some manual configuration changes. Download this version if you don't wish to make the configuration changes on your own. If you are installing over an existing copy, right click on any .UK domain name in the list (after installing the new version and opening any of your existing data files) and select Data Extraction Setup > Reset To Default. Press yes when you are prompted for confirmation.

10/22/2004

• Country code domains like co.uk, com.au, etc. needed to be manually configured immediately after installation. This has been fixed. Download only if you have problems looking up these domains or you haven't already configured the settings manually.

• Not critical unless you have problems with DE domains. After installing the update, right click on any DE domain name and select Data Extraction Setup > Reset to Default. You will be prompted for confirmation. Select Yes
