Vista/Windows7 user note:

If you install cmpro to a protected folder like C:\program files\, you have to set the compatibility properties of cmpro.exe to 'run this program as administrator' to work correctly or you have to disable UAC. In other folders it should work fine without setting this property and without the need of disabling UAC.

Linux WINE/Mac Crossover user note:

If you got problems with the main window, set the option 'Adv_HideWindow = off' in cmpro.ini. In case you don't have a cmpro.ini yet, create one with the following two lines:
[CMPRO SETTINGS]
Adv_HideWindow = off

• misc: show prompt after renamewizard modified a dat
• misc: changed windows rect calculation which may solves weird border issue
• misc: some minor code cleanup here and there

3.131a

• fixed: header support reported bad hashes when using the decompress and calc sha1/md5/full crc tests
• fixed: rename wizard column sorting gets broken after using "Apply Changes"
• fixed: merger shows merge options even when no parent/clone relationships are available

3.131

More on rename wizard:

• changed analysis to 5-pass: 1) unique set hash 2) single unique rom hash match 3) single unique chd hash match 4) description match 5) setname match
• detecting removed, added and replaced sets
• new layout, list control, sortable columns
• acess via Profiler Button
• keeping positions and options
• added option for enable/disable parent rename
• added option for enable/disable rename to multiple new name
• detecting new, removed and replaced sets
• export to clipboard, file and file (mamediff format)
• diff button only reparses files if needed
• ability to apply renames to a 3rd datfile (e.g. an artwork datfile). You can select 'apply on sets' or 'apply on roms' method. 'Apply On Sets' renames set name (description, year, manufacturer, romof, cloneof, sourcefile tags optionally), while 'Apply on Roms' renames rom name, rom merge tags. In case of roms, it checks the names with and without extensions, so you can easily have them as e.g. *.png. This 'Apply' option will only do the renames. Removed, added, replaced sets are not handled. Usage example: Enter paths to a MAME .133 datfile as old and MAME .133u3 datfile as new. Hit 'diff' and see what the renames......now load a MAME flyersdatfile for .133 as 'Modify DatFile'. Enable 'Apply On Roms' and hit 'Apply Renames'. It will create you a *_new.dat with the updated roms.

3.130a

• rename wizard: - improved fuzzy name compare - don't allow identical new names, the one with the best method wins
• misc: don't replace illegal chars in description tags until you use it for writing
• misc: reapplying setinformation options "incl.clones/parents" on profile load, this can be useful if you limit sets with "available sets" (and the parent/clone options) to auto-enable some renamed sets on dat update. However you still should recheck the limit sets after an update since limiting sets is not robust against massive renames.
• misc: improved chd decompress and check hash routines slighly
• fixed: checkbox init of scanner->Hash&CHD->CHD MD5/SHA1 is not always correct
• fixed: header support getRealSize was still broken

3.130

a somehow "in between" release. Since I'm currently preparing a house move I better release what I got at the moment....

• added:
  1st part of the upcoming new toy "Rename Wizard".
  You may know about the major set renames in latest MAME, well the Rename Wizard should help you in the future to update e.g. related datfiles (like artwork datfiles, etc...). The basic idea is: Load an old datfile and a new datfile. Find set renames. Apply the renames to a third datfile (e.g. artwork) either to rom or set level and save this dat. So the 1st step is to find set renames.
  Logiqx's MAMEDIFF is usually used for such a thing but MAMEDIFF isn't as accurate as you might think. So Logiqx and myself though about other ways to find renames. The current idea is a 6-path check (from highest to lowest prio).
  
  1) unique set hash compare: Hash is created over all rom/disk hashes and in case of nodumps or samples over names. Hash lookup tries to find a matching set.
  2) single unique rom hash compare: Take a single unique rom hash of old datfile set and check if it's a single unique hash in new datfile. Use this to find a matching set
  3) single unique chd hash compare: similar to 2) but on chds
  4) fuzzy name check: similar to cmpro's scanner set name check. Tries to find the 'best fit' name
  5) lazy description compare: try to match the descriptions
  6) lazy set compare: try to match the setname
  
  Currently a complete set list is produced showing something like:
  old name -> new name [succeeded matching method] or *old name -> new name [succeeded matching method] or old name -> ? (when no match was found....propably a removed set) The * indicates a name change.
  
  This part is already in...you can play around with it if you like.
  The next steps will be:
  - optionally disallow parent-to-clone renames (since a lot of dats work on parent sets only)
  - load and apply changes on 3rd datfile
  The Rename Wizard is not directly visible at the moment...but still easy to find. Check out popup menus if you want to know more ABOUT it.

• misc: some small internal preparations for upcoming new xml datheaders
• fixed: negative windows positions lead to not visible windows
• fixed: wrong parser error message when no setformat.xml is available
• fixed: new rebuilder destination folder isn't removed when stopping at rebuilder warning prompts

clrmamepro 3.110a

• fixed: crash when fixing size of a not compressed rom
• misc: some minor internal changes on the window-fits-on-screen test

clrmamepro 3.110

• misc: updated unrar.dll which fixes crashes with incomplete split rars
• misc: updated have/miss list to handle fake clones, nodump-only sets correctly
• misc: update dat dialog is now resizeable

clrmamepro 3.109c

• fixed: dat export exports 'flags baddump' in a wrong way which get reloaded as crc 0xf
• misc: main window can be put to 0/0
• misc: profiler's create doesn't care anymore about exe sharing access issues
• misc: minimum OS requirement is now W2k and higher

clrmamepro 3.109b

• misc: first compile in new VS2008 environment with some minor code cleanup
• misc: 0-byte rom files are not handled as nodumps anymore
• misc: fix dat header includes xmlheader statements (if available in the original dat)
• fixed: dat export failed for roms with a not specified crc32

clrmamepro 3.109a

• misc: main button bar remembers focus
• misc: set information -> 'unload' (set list) button added
• misc: set information -> you can use '%h=1' in 'select sets' to select sets with chds
• misc: set information -> you can use '%p=1' in 'select sets' to select sets with samples
• misc: set information -> split 'mark parent/clones' to two separated checkboxes
• misc: set information -> mark parent/clones checkboxes also affect loading of set lists
• misc: don't show warning for clones where all not-parent roms are nodumps
• misc: introducing datfile header switch "forcenodump" which can be 'obsolete', 'ignore' and 'required': obsolete = default (nodumps are marked as unneeded, missing ones are not shown); ignore = existing nodumps are not marked as unneeded, missing ones are ignored; required = existing nodumps are not marked as unneeded, missing ones are shown
• misc: dir2dat->nodump header options available
• misc: allowing empty set definitions (theoretically this allows using of pseudo parents)

clrmamepro 3.109

• fixed: a chd can get wrongly parent/clone assigned when parent set got > 1 chds
• fixed: rare wrong "Can't remove files from..." message
• misc: added warning when a MoveFile operation fails
• misc: warnings window's clear option also re-hides the window
• removed: nodump handling controls

clrmamepro 3.108b

• misc: removing parent/clone relationships for sets which got nodump roms in one and valid dumps (for the same roms) in a clone/parent set. Prevents from overwriting each other when merging.
• fixed: showing wrong (clone) color for removed parent/clone relationship sets in setinformation tree
• fixed: memory leak when leaving with "The program is already running!" message
• fixed: rare crash in system->auto detect sysdef paths

clrmamepro 3.108a

• misc: nodump handling is now locked to 'hide missing', disabled 'create missing' and enabled 'mark no dumps as unneeded'.

clrmamepro 3.108

• added: split rar support ("remove rebuilt source files" removes only first part though")

clrmamepro 3.107b

• fixed: biosset assignment routine assigned some wrong biossets (CVS) in MAME .121u3.

clrmamepro 3.107a

• misc: systems and setinfo window got max/min boxes
• misc: memory usage for no recompress is limited to max 1GB (also in auto mode)
• misc: settings->unneeded masks can be added by drag'n drop
• misc: updated unrar.dll
• fixed: search folder for crc32 was partially broken
• fixed: about drag'n drop size information was wrong for files (not archives)

clrmamepro 3.107

• misc: changed WindowToFront method which doesn't falsely stick the window as topmost sometimes
• misc: showing warning about crc32= 1/-1
• misc: removed a typo in dir2dat tooltip
• misc: added a n64 header xml description (thanks Cue)
• misc: www profiler xml creator allows optional subfolder scanning
• misc: Linux WINE/Mac Crossover users: adding a cmpro.ini setting "Adv_HideWindow = off" helps you when you got issues with the showing/hiding of the 6 button bar

clrmamepro 3.106c

• fixed: fullmerged 'create missing nodump' sometimes selected clone folder

clrmamepro 3.106b

• fixed: fix-missing-rom for full merged sets didn't work correctly
• fixed: uncompressed clones scan was broken

clrmamepro 3.106a

• misc: several updates to the window rendering system (incl. not stealing focus correct minimizing, warnings window only shows issues, etc.)
• misc: allowing not existent sampleparents (invaders)

clrmamepro 3.106

• misc: Linux WINE: changed systime convertion to work flawlessly (www profiler)
• misc: Linux WINE: launch button bar isn't hidden anymore (but minimized). This increases compatibility and even fixes some MS Windows issues.
• misc: Linux WINE: changed warnings window. It will now automatically appear if something appears in it. You can still minimize it then.
• misc: several windows correctly appear at the front now.
• misc: treectrl and listctrl bitmaps are now 24bit and different
• misc: F2 (edit label) functionality to several list and tree controls
• misc: listing corrupt containes (corrupt chds, zips...) in the stats
• misc: disabled "Possible missing alternative samples folder" in the database checker MAME doesn't load samples from a parentset when no sampleof tag is given. In consequence you may need some more samplesets for MAME now.
