I’m happy to announce the release of the Marked Birds Database version 2.13.0. It contains various improvements and some fixes.

For a full list, see the bottom of this article.

A link to the download file as well as instructions about installing, setting up and using the database can be found on the Marked Birds Database page.

Users who are using a previous version can import their data into the new version.

Summary

Improved: Bird relations now track the age of a bird at the time of the relation, not its current age.
Improved: ‘First of season’ is now also shown in ‘View all observations’ and Search Extra > Observations.
Fixed: Various issues that were not working properly.
Fixed: Minor changes to colours and text.

Improvements

The following changes have been made:

Bird relations: when creating a relation between 2 birds, the age at the time of the relation is now stored. Previously, the current age was shown for all years in which a relation existed.
Observations: The ‘View all observations’ and ‘Search Extra > Observations’ overview now also includes ‘1st of season’.
Observations: The ‘View all observations’ and ‘Search Extra > Observations’ overview now also includes ‘1st of season’.
Green can now be used as an inscription colour for Markers (mainly used in gull projects).

Fixes

The following features that were not working properly have been fixed:

When adding a bird with medium Markers, the code on a metal tibia ring is not shown vertically anymore.
When adding a bird with uncoded Markers and selecting ‘Add another bird’, the OK button in the confirmation message now correctly navigates back to the form instead of to Bird Overview.
When adding a bird with uncoded Markers and selecting ‘Capture -ringing’, the created observation now includes the correct age of the bird.
When exporting to Excel, no confirmation to create the report is now asked when less than 20 records exist.
The misspelled text ‘unkown’ in the text for generating an e-mail has been corrected.
