  • BIC Library:
    • Moved to database (significant performance and stability improvement)
    • Improved logic of telephones parser
    • Slight change of predecessors list generation logic: only "direct" predecessors are shown. If an item has merged several older banks, you will see their respective chains in the item details only. This provides a bit more consistent results

  • Final Fantasy XIV Tracker:
    • Now tracking not only weekly rankings, but also monthly ones and members count and show all three on one graph. Due to significant change in logic of how this is tracked, all previous entries were removed. It requires to have at least 2 appropriate entries to see the graph, so you may need to wait a week (for weekly rating change on Lodestone)

If update detects more than 10 changes for minions or mounts, only 10 of them will be registered
    • Added a weekly job to update up to 1000 entities, that were not updated for over a year
    • Added maps for companies, that have plots
    • Removed advanced filters, since they are not really used
    • Removed tracking of individual class levels
    • Removed tracking of wrongly assigned ranks as not used
    • Removed tracking of alternative ranks as not used
