#NEWS

02 Nov 2011: IMDbPY 4.8.2 and a brand new web site!

Sorry for the slowdown in the development, but we're back in action!
We're SO back in action that we left some installation bug and debug code in 4.8, so 4.8.1 is there. Did anybody said 4.8.1?! 4.8.2, I mean! :-)

As you can see, we also have a shiny new web site, courtesy of Alberto Malagoli. Many thanks to him, and we hope you like it!

This release contains major bugfixes and clean-ups; there are for sure a lot of small problems, related to the last redesign of the IMDb web site, but we hope have fixed most of the big problems.
Changelog for the 4.8 version.

#WHAT'S GOIN' ON

11 Mar 2012: development news.
In the repository, there are already many fixes and some huge improvements in the handling of imdbIDs in the SQL database. Moreover, Emmanuel Tabard kindly joined the development team. Welcome!

02 Nov 2011: Celebrating the new release!
Since a recent redesign of the IMDb's pages, IMDbPY was badly broken; starting with 4.7 and 4.8 we're working to fix it, but some help is still needed; see this thread for more information.
