Pallas, the advanced database for managing collections and projects, was released today in a new version. The following items are changes from the previous release 3.9.0.a:

• The color of the program can now be adjusted to the user's liking, creating a unique "flavor".
• Simple Search has undergone an optimization, making it work much faster than before.

Pallas was released today in a new version. The following items are changes from the previous release 3.8.2.a:

• Pallas license management has received clearer notifications when a user reaches the limit of the assigned maximum.
• Importing and exporting parts (items) between collections and external collections (in another file) has been improved and offers more comfort. The handling sometimes suffered from minor errors, which meant that in certain situations the import action did not run completely without problems. This has now been improved. Quickly comparing a database with multiple collections is now also possible, without having to manually switch between collections.
• The Pallas repair tool that repairs damaged databases has been improved. If previously common fields (location, manufacturer, etc.) were cleared, this also meant the end for all components that used these fields. The repair tool cannot restore the missing fields, but it can provide the parts that would otherwise disappear with an emergency solution.

Pallas was released today in a new version. The following items are changes from the previous release 3.8.1:

• In addition to the usual row selection (for parts in a collection), Pallas now also has the option to select columns in the grid. This capability makes it easy to replace an entire series of components on a property (for example, the packaging or the URL). This is also possible with images. The selection option starts as standard every time the program starts, but can be quickly changed via a button or a menu choice.
• The Pallas HTTP updater has been improved and now works faster and more securely. The application previously froze when an internet connection was not possible. This problem has been resolved in version 3.8.2.
• The Pallas HTTP server has been improved. The handling of socket opening and closing has been improved, which means that the HTTP server has less difficulty displaying large collections in the browser.
• All translations have been updated.

Pallas was released today in a new version. The following items are changes from the previous release 3.8.0.a:

• Pallas now also has a list mode in the “assignments of parts to projects” dialogue. This allows you to quickly compare lists from a CAD tool (such as Altium Designer) with existing parts and their assignments to projects. Parts not found can be copied to the clipboard to see what should be done with them from there.

• Web browser can now copy the name of a part from the web page again.
• When automatically assigning a part to projects this was not done in the new list mode in collection view. This has now been resolved.

Pallas was released today in a new version. The following items are changes from the previous release 3.7.2.d:

• From this version onwards, Pallas has a third search field to make comparison with (spreadsheet) fields such as those from Altium Designer easier. A BOM=list from an Altium design can now be done quite quickly; be compared with both a collection and a project in Pallas. The “Batch Search” field allows a series of values ​​to be found simultaneously. Pallas explains which values ​​are and are not present:This search option exists in both collection and project mode. Missing parts can be easily created from this batch list.

• Importing a series of parts from a spreadsheet file to a collection has now been made easier by adding an auto-entry option, where Pallas checks in advance which values ​​are already present in the collections as part. Parts already present can be skipped.
• Import from a list of photos had a wxWidgets error when choosing the folder. Dissolved.
• Removing multiple elements from a project could not be reversed. Dissolved.
• The built-in web server did not work properly from a non-read database. Dissolved.
• The built-in search function now uses a value from the clipboard if there is a text field on the clipboard.
• Linux version updated from 3.6.0 to 3.8.0 by disabling stupid Linux quirks (it remains an amateurish system).

Pallas was released today in a new version. The following items are changes from the previous release:

Pallas can now display the availability of project items based on a logical expression, instead of just a category. For example, Pallas can show all project items that are only available in a single unit or less, or it can show all items except those available as “abundant”.

Pallas can now also generate a CSV export list, not based on the GUI configuration, but based on a selection entered just before the export is generated. This makes it easy to compile a BOM list, as used by Mouser.
