- Fixed: Client-side scanner now works for PokerStars again

v1.1.0.76 – 6/8/07

- Change: Connects to new server www.sixthsensedata.com
- If you run Sixth Sense under a firewall, you may have to allow it to
connect to this new server

v1.1.0.75 – 6/4/07

- Fixed: Bug when importing rules from rule helper and more than 5
categories were used (Category field was too small to hold full name).
NOTE: THIS ALSO requires the user to manually DELETE files
“Categories.xml” and “CategoryRules.xml” in the SS directory, and then
re-import the Rules.txt file.

v1.1.0.74 – 5/25/07

- Fixed: DLL dependence issue fixed

v1.1.0.73 – 5/25/07

- Added: User-Script Scoring!
- You can now write your own LUA script to score a player. This will
be easier for advanced users.
- It lets you write a small program that calculates the score based
on the player’s stats (and other variables)
- From the Menu, go to Options, “Custom Script Scoring” (Ctrl-K)
- Check the Sixth Sense message board for help on how to use this feature
- For LUA Info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lua_programming_languages

v1.1.0.72 – 5/25/07

- Fixed: PokerStars client scan fix

v1.1.0.71 – 5/20/07

- Added: There is now a “NumTables” field for all players. It tells you
the # of tables the player is currently playing at. Its useful for
finding multi-tablers.
- If you don’t see this field in the Players table, right click, click
menu “Select Player Fields”, and make sure “# Tables” is clicked on.
- This field is “NumTables” in the Custom User Scoring dialog. You can
create custom user rules to help avoid (or find) multi-tablers.
- If you create custom user rules that JUST use “NumTables”, be sure to
turn OFF “Use Convergence”, since # of hands has no relation to it.

v1.1.0.70 – 5/15/07

- Fixed: PokerStars scanner now works properly scans Limit tables.
There was a bug that was preventing it from working before.

v1.1.0.69 – 5/12/07

- Fixed: The SS Game Filter is now applied when doing the client scan.
If the filter does not match, it quickly skips over the table in the
scan without waiting for the Player info. This can speed up the scan
quite a bit.

v1.1.0.68 – 5/9/07

- Fixed: No longer displays PokerStars data when you turn OFF PS in
the game filter.

v1.1.0.67 – 5/8/07

- Added: Client-side scanner will now resume if focus is taken away from
the lobby. Simply click on the Lobby window title, and it will continue.
Be careful not to move the window, that could mess up the scan.
- Updated: Improved the OCR library

v1.1.0.66 – 5/6/07

- Fixed: Changes to scanner to avoid table “skips”, scanner will be more
reliable now

v1.1.0.65 – 5/6/07

- Fixed: PokerStars Client-side scanner now works when Windows Fonts
(set under Desktop Properties, Appearance) are ANY size. Previously
only worked when set to Large. This should also allow the scanner
to work under Windows Vista.

v1.1.0.64 – 5/5/07

- Added: PokerStars Client-side scanner (BETA)
- Activated when user selects “PokerStars” from list of sites
- User must make sure PokerStars is open to the lobby with the correct
filter already selected (game type, stakes, hiding full tables, etc)
- User must ensure PokerStars window is fully visible and not blocked
by other windows when scanning
- Uses OCR, not 100% accurate (currently avg 99.9% accurate). Will
improve as OCR library matures.

v1.0.0.63 – 3/15/07

- Fixed: You can now navigate to the PokerTracker directory even if its
not in the normal default location
- Removed: NetTeller is no longer a payment option on the subscribe form

v1.0.0.62 – 12/28/06

- Added: New Advanced Option “Cache Minutes”
- This is how long SS will cache the players stats in memory
- Set this to zero to disable using the cache, and always calculate the
stats from the database. This will slow down scoring the tables, but
use the must up-to-date information.
- (Fix) – Set to zero to fix the current bug where stats are cached in
the same slot for NL and Limit. This will be fixed later.
- Fixed: Table Opener now works with Bodog (now passes correct site name)

v1.0.0.61 – 12/22/06

- Fixed: No show missing fish scores for $1.5/3 NL and 8/16

- Fixed: FTP Table Opener now opens multiple tables in one pass
- Fixed: Scoring for Bodog tables should now work, fixed Client & Server

v1.0.0.58 – 11/25/06

- Fixed: Now shows stats for Bodog players
- Converts “NL $5/$10″ to “NL ($20)” to match in database

v1.0.0.57 – 11/20/06

- Added: $300 NL and $8/16 to the list of possible games in the Game Filter dialog

v1.0.0.56 – 11/10/06

- Added: Bodog support!
- The Games dialog now lists Bodog as a supported site
- Notes:
- PokerTracker patch that supports Bodog & TAIN:
http://www.pokertracker.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16572
- That post also links to another program (DogWatcher) required to grab
the HH’s from Bodog
- Coming Soon: TAIN Support
- Coming Soon: Table opener for Bodog/TAIN
- Coming Soon: Batch mode table opener for FTP/Bodog (still slow, but 1-pass)
- These sites require a scan vs. typing in the table name, and are
therefore slower. Batch mode will speed up opening multiple tables,
and we might have an option to sort the table list, which could speed
it up too. This would change the user’s current sort though.

v1.0.0.55 – 10/18/06

- Added: OpenTable script now works with FullTilt and Absolute
- Absolute currently can only open the table, it can’t join the wait list
- Changed: Site name is now passed to OpenTable script
- Fixed: PTAgg now trims player names to 32 chars to fit in the database

v1.0.0.54 – 9/12/06

- Added: Game Filter Dlg now has buttons to Load/Save preset options
- Changed: Trial Extension Code is no longer needed to extend the
trial to 15 days
- Fixed: Its no longer possible to minimize the Buddy form, which would
cause confusion since it was modal
- Changed: User is now prompted to locate the PT Directory to scan for any
access databases. This was changed so the user can select a different
directory to search for database(s).

v1.0.0.53 – 8/30/06

- Changed: Automatic updates will now longer create Icons (Program
Group, Desktop, or Quickbar)
- This only works for updates AFTER this one
- Changed: Upgraded Installer. Install file now 25% smaller
- Fixed: “Encode Base64″ option now works with getting Account Info
- Fixed: PTAgg Player Lookup Dialog now uses the correct database connection
- Fixed: PTAgg Report “Num Stats By GameType” should not give an error now
- Known Bug: WinSD is zero for the PTAgg database. This is a known bug
and we will fix it in a future release

v1.0.0.52 – 8/29/06

- Added: PTAgg now automatically restarts itself after # of batches
- This is a work-around for the memory leak caused by its ADO driver

- Added: “Ignore Player” to Advanced Options (CTRL-O)
- You could enter your own player name here so that your stats do not
affect the table stats
- Changed: Subscribe dialog – NetTeller payment now prompts user for
First and Last name so they can be matched up with the NetTeller payment
email
- Fixed: “Encode Base64″ option now used for getting Account Info also
- FIXED: Bug in PTAgg that would cause it to skip importing some games
- The logic for setting the last GameID imported would sometimes go past
the actual last game imported (bug in a loop)
- The initial import would always import all games
- Running PTAgg’s import WHILE DATAMINING would frequently skip games
- Recommended user action is to do nothing, just let PTAgg catch up
with the NEW games being data mined.
- If you want to ensure SS/PTAgg gives the same stats as PT and PAHUD, you
must run PTAgg, stop its Import, Reset the database (from Tools menu),
and then re-import all of your database(s). This can take a LONG
time (but memory leak is now fixed atleast).

bug related to the trial time.
