translation system in Championship Manager 01/02, when using the
editor you should run the game in the ENGLISH language.

Version 1.2.0 (Championship Manager 01/02 Editor)

-------------------------------------------------

+ Added: "Data Set Wizard" that allows you to easily specify different
data sets to be used with the editor or with the game

+ Added: "Data Distribution Wizard" that will compress a data set of your
choice into a single zip file (or self-extracting exe.)

+ Added: "Validate Database" (Tools menu). This checks the current loaded
database for any inconsistencies and possible problems and attemps
to fix them.

+ Added: You can specify which data set you want to use when creating a
new game using CM 01/02 (sets the CM3_DATA environment variable.)
Do this from the "Options" dialog ('default' tab.)

+ Added: "Quick filter" button for certain fields (located near the "go
to" arrow buttons.) This will filter the list using the text or
number in the edit box to which it is linked.

+ Added: Will only allow one instance of the editor running.

+ Added: Multi-selection from the main listbox.

+ Added: "Special" staff config commands (arse,++) now can be set from
the "Options" dialog.

+ Changed: Creating new non-players will set default preferred formation

to 4-4-2.

+ Fixed: Converting a player to a non-player using the "job as" field by

accepting automatic conversion would copy previously viewed non-
player data. (This was also true for the reverse: NP to player
conversion.) This should also fix the 'random position' bug
reported by Simon Treanor.
+ Fixed: Changing classifcation from "non-player and player" to "player"
would reset any club contract.

+ Fixed: Occasionally staff histories table could be misaligned.

+ Fixed: Changing "job as" for staff without a club was not remembered.

+ Fixed: Removing manager from a nation using "nation" screen did not
update staff itself.

+ Fixed: Setting nation "job as" from anything to 'manager' would not
properly update nation or the previous manager settings.

+ Fixed: Changing "job as" from "not set" did not properly update
classification.

+ Fixed: Assigning staff with "job as" "not set" to a club was allowed.

+ Fixed: Changing "classification" did not check nation job

accordingly if needed (i.e. anyone remaining as player will change
to "player" job.

+ Fixed: When swapping teams in club competitions, the editor will

now update the teams' nation to the nation of the
competitions.

+ Fixed: When deleting last item in filter, an error "no selected

item" would pop up. Will now fall back to normal full list
view if this happens (= cancel filter).

+ Fixed: Potential duplication of staff at club when setting club job.

+ Fixed: Potential staff config corruption when deleting clubs (future

transfers/loans).

+ Fixed: Releasing a player on a free would not update the player's

staff configs properly.

+ Fixed: Unticking contract would also not properly update staff configs.

+ Fixed: Exception Error when trying to filter (or doing advanced

search) on a club's "cash" and "reputation" attributes.

+ Fixed: When creating a new player and changing his name and adding him
to a club would show an empty name instead of his new name in the
dialog confirmation box.

+ Fixed: Unticking player contract check box would reset contract but
not remove from the club.

+ Fixed: "Add"ing players from the Club Squad screen now properly sets
"playing squad" in the contract dialog.

+ Fixed: Quite a few issues related to the "Go to" popup dialog.
Version 1.1.0 (Championship Manager 01/02 Editor)
-------------------------------------------------

+ Fixed: Overall interface speed improvement, especially when dropping

down listboxes and changing edit views (e.g. from staff to clubs.)
This improvement makes it so lists are not automatically resorted.

"misconduct ban" and "false passport ban."

+ Added: New staff config injury type "chemotherapy."

+ Added: Key shortcuts to lists in the club edit: Enter/Return or Alt+G

will now ask if you want to 'go to' the chosen item (same as double
click).

+ Fixed: Changing the nation of a staff now also updates the names nation
properly.

+ Fixed: A player could be attached to two clubs (in club list) by

setting a new club, then setting a third club again without
changing current player being edited.

-------------------------------------------------

+ Fixed: The name bug should now be fixed. You can also fix an existing
database with this bug by loading it in the new editor version and
saving it to disk. The editor will then process the names properly
and this should fix the problem.

+ Added: Upon load it will remove any duplicate staff configs found.

+ Fixed: The letter � would be incorrectly sorted, as would �.

player_setup.cfg file (and the editor won't quit).

+ Added: Doing an Advanced Search and enclosing a search string in two

quotation marks (e.g. "mysearchstring") will search for the exact
search string (and not any match anywhere in text). As before,
search is not case sensitive.

+ Fixed: When deleting (resetting) Staff Preferences, such favourite and

disliked staff, it didn't do so properly.

+ Fixed: Memory access violation sometimes when creating new players and
changing their nationalities and names.

+ Fixed: When transferring players between club the staff configurations

would not be updated properly.

Version 1.0.3 (Championship Manager 00/01 Editor)

-------------------------------------------------

+ Fixed: When exiting the (1st/2nd/cmn) name field when it was empty
would after a few times make the editor freeze. This fixes the
problem when adding new staff (when it most commonly happened).

recognizes properly. Also corrected the 'days out' info on a few
injuries.

+ Fixed: Some clubs with extended characters wouldn't be recognizes as

 required by the game even though they should.

(some people had this problem).

location without asking for a destination. "Save as.." works as
before.

to".

out.

+ Added: "Swap teams" button in Club Competition edit.

+ Change: Deleting, adding or renaming colours should not be done.

(ie -1 and -2) won't find hits greater than said values. (e.g.
filtering -1 and -2s will not use ">=" but always "==").

+ Fixed: Staff "Types" (Staff Edit Page 6) did incorrectly set and get
the attacking midfielder preferred player model.

+ Fixed: changing names from name edit didn't always show up in staff.

+ Fixed: Any changes you do to staff and/or names will be reflected in

the staff configuration edit.

+ Fixed: Crashed sometimes when deleting names, especially common names.

This also fixed when deleting names, staff could be given incorrect

though.

responsive.
