==========================================
V1.1 15th Sept 2017
PBDC:
Bug Fixes:
- Some users were seeing duplicate aircraft in the app results, this should no longer happen. (this would happen if you selected to add more GenAv but did not untick all the other databases)

NOTE: A new PBData.pbm needs to be built with PBDC 1.1 and copied to your device before installing the mobile app.
PBM
Bug Fixes:
- Logging issue, PBMobile would alert that the aircraft logged had not been imported into PlaneBase if logged in PBMobile when it had, I have now changed this to report only if the PBData.pbm returns an ‘F’ or and ‘R’ .
Added:
- Photo Details added (if option selected in PBDC) details shown on search only.
- [P] icon added (next to search button) to show if photo details available

==========================================
V1.3 17th Oct 2017
PBDC:
PBM:
Bug Fixes:
- users got used to searching without pressing the clear button between searches (pre 1.2) which was not how I intended it to be done and when I added the search options then the app requires the clear button to be pressed before searching another reg otherwise a 'Nothing Found' notification will be shown.
I have rewritten the code to allow a reg to be searched without the need to use the clear button.
Added:
- Deactivate option added to allow transfer of licence (Requires Admin Approval)
==========================================
V1.4 18th Nov 2017
PBDC:
- This release has some code changes to work with the latest PlaneBase v2.52 release.
PBM:
- No Changes but I like to keep both the PBDC and the App on the same version number to avoid confusion.

==========================================
V1.6 21st June 2018
PBDC
- Option added to save a copy of the PBData.pbm to a secondary location (OneDrive, Google Drive etc).
- On using the above, you need to select the top-level folder for example. C:\Google Drive or D:\Onedrive. a new PlaneBase Mobile folder will be created in the selected location.
NOTE: If using the Secondary location please allow time for the data to sync if using one of the cloud systems (Google, OneDrive, Dropbox etc)
PBM:
- Totals now added to main screen when logged results are shown.
- Search Options are now shown by pressing the search icon next to the menu section at the top of the main screen.
- The main page search button long press function has changed to allow a wildcard search, this should make searching for Military aircraft easier.
Example 1: If you enter N1 in the registration and press search it will show details for N1 only, if you long press the search button it will find everything that starts with N1.
Example 2: If you enter 130 in the registration and press search it will show details for aircraft with a reg matching 130 only, if you long press the search button it will find everything that starts with 130.
- Base\Fleet and Type Searches can now be done on partial details, Long press the search button to do a wild card search.
Example 1: Select Fleet List, to see all easyJet fleet aircraft type easyJet and long press the search button to see all easyJet Airline, Switzerland and Europe.
Example 2: Select Type List, to see all Globals type Global and long press the search button to see all Global 5000’s 6000 etc.
- When logging in Base, Fleet and Type lists on long press of one of the results the pop-up message now shows Seen details.
- ‘Highlight Pending’ option added to options screen, if selected the logged airframe will show as blue in Base\Fleet and Type lists.
- ‘Add Details’ option added to options screen, needed/scrape aircraft only seen details will be added to the PBData.pbm Seen Location will start with [PBM] to show that the aircraft has been logged in PBM only
Note: Any existing seen details will Not be overwritten if you log an aircraft that has already been seen.
- If ‘Highlight Pending’ is selected, then the totals panel will also show a separate pending count.
Note: needed, seen and required counts do not include pending counts as the aircraft is not truly logged until imported into PlaneBase.
- Base\Fleet and Type List autocomplete now use the Withdrawn\Preserved setting.
PBM App Fixes:
- Frames Spotters: Issue fixed where logging in Base, Fleet and Type lists (long press on results list) placed an F (Frame) in the logged results where it should have been an N(Need)
- The above may show strange totals results if you have logs on your device that have been logged with the long press in Base, Fleet and Type lists previously.
