For all support please note that the tables WILL be changed, almost certainly without keeping backwards compatibility. Therefore you should keep your history files after import so you can re-import when necessary. Should you lose history files and need a "database updater" let me know.
If support for another site/game would encourage you to help with this software please let me know at steffen@sycamoretest.info.
IMPORTANT: There appears to be a bug in at least up to git34 in reading WtSD/W$wsF/W$SD
Holdem/Omaha ring games on PokerStars
======================================
Works, quite well tested, works in table viewer and is useful now. Functionality is quite limited so far though. This includes the holdem/omaha parts of HORSE, HOSE and any other mixed game
Stud/Razz ring games on PokerStars
==================================
Broken - used to work, hardly tested. Needs to be updated to new infrastructure using a HudData table rather than hands_players_flags. Will fix this shortly.
Tournaments/SnGs
================
Broken - used to work, hardly tested. Needs to be updated to new infrastructure.. Will probably fix this shortly
Full Tilt Poker
===============
Might work - used to work and was very well test. It should import them (except HudData), but I believe the table viewer won't work. Would be easy to fix I think, volunteers welcome. This used to work in a pre-alpha but basically was left behind during updates to the other stuff.
Other Sites
===========
Patches/Volunteers welcome. Should be quite easy.
GUI
===
Alpha - the infrastructure stands and is fast enough, now "just" need to add more functionality.
HUD
===
Not started - volunteers welcome. I found a *nix utility based on xlib that does half the work for this (most of the other half is already in the table viewer), see http://www.roard.com/docs/cookbook/cbsu19.html. There's also a python implementation of xlib which should run even on Windows.
Packaging
=========
Gentoo GNU/Linux: I'll make ebuilds, if you want one now let me know.
Other free/libre systems (e.g. other GNU/Linux-Distros, *BSD, and I'd love to help in getting this to work on any Hurd based system): Let me know what you use (Distribution, version and CPU type) and I'll make a package.
Windows/MacOSX: Manual installation of dependencies for now, integrated installer would be nice - volunteers welcome, but I'll do it eventually in any case.
Regression Testing
==================
The query scripts are done-ish, need to verify more data so it can be used in automated regression testing.
Database Backends
=================
- MySQL InnoDB is the default
- PostgreSQL should work but I haven't tried it. If it doesn't please let me know.
- MySQL ISAM won't be supported since it is not transactional

General: This will offer more or less the same kind of functionality as HM and PT so there shouldn't be any problem on any site that allows tracking.
PS: I have asked them and they said that due to the fast changing nature
of pre-release software they don't review that. However, looking at their
posted guidelines we're fine
FTP: I sent them an email and what I described there was ok for them.
I will write them again for "certification" on release of 1.0
To avoid any misunderstandings, PS and FTP obviously do not sponsor, endorse, or support fpdb. They allow using it, that's all. Any problems with fpdb should be reported to us, not the poker site.
A note on viewing/tracking mucked hands. Many people will say this is cheating. I agree. However, I don't make the rules on these sites. The sites that store mucked hands into the history file clearly think that being able to see other people's mucked hands is ok. This software - like HM and PT - merely takes info provided by the poker site and makes it more easily accessible.
Apparently PS has now turned this off :)
