Hello everyone,
|
||||||
|
The new fpdb release 0.22 is now available for download as source or as packages/installers for Debian, Gentoo, Ubuntu and Windows.
|
||||||
|
This version brings many improvements and bugfixes and . A quick word on our version naming: We have decided to stop using the usual alpha/beta/rc release system as it doesn't suit fpdb's development style and resources. From now on all releases are created equal (ie. considered "testing"). If they proof themselves we declare them "stable" and make them the default download on sourceforge. If you wish to be notified of new releases or stabilisation subscribe to the fpdb-announe mailing list (see Links further down)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
So... what is FPDB?
|
||||||
|
===================
|
||||||
|
FPDB (Free Poker Database) is a free/open source suite of steadily growing tools to track and analyse your online poker game. FPDB is able to import the hand histories that poker sites write to your computer and to store additional data from each hand in a database for use in later analysis.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
FPDB is ambitious, intending to support all games. Currently we support flop based games (Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo), stud games (7 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo, and Razz) and draw games (Triple Draw Lowball, 5 Card Draw) on most major poker sites.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
FPDB provides a Heads Up Display (HUD), Profit Grapher and Stats viewers with a list of features that is growing.
|
||||||

How to get help
|
||||||
|
===============
|
||||||
|
Please also see the "Bug reports" section below to enable us to help you.
|
||||||
|
These are listed in order of usefulness - the 2+2 thread in particular is rather chaotic so if we miss your post feel free to bring it up again
|
||||||
|
1) Chat/IRC
|
||||||
|
One of the developers is usually around, but it is IRC. Dont get discouraged because we didn't answer within 10 minutes, once we do you've probably got our full attention.
|
||||||
|
This link takes you to a website where you can talk to us directly, alternatively use an IRC client to connect to #fpdb on freenode: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=fpdb
|
||||||
|
2) Mailing List
|
||||||
|
Visit http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fpdb-main to subscribe to the development&support mailing list and send us an email
|
||||||
|
3) The monster 2+2 forum thread (registration reqd).
|
||||||
|
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/16...2009-a-273001/ Please dont let the size of the thread phase you. It is monitored and sends email notifications to the developers. (Note: If you play poker and don't frequent the 2+2 forums, you may want to become better acquainted. Its a bit daunting at first, but well worth the effort)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
