This has been patched on the server while a fuller fix will be released shortly – in the meanwhile, take care with annual applications ..read more

A very minor update to Logsearch has just been released, for the new year:
Issue #00117 – Support for 2024
Issue #00118 – Add program: 8PFF – Barbados
Issue #00119 – Add program: 9VFF – Singapore
Open Issues can be found in the Issue Tracker.
Future Plans
Further work is ongoing… with support from other developers, we’re working to improve the development process, so it is not so dependant on one programmer.
Personal Note
Development of Logsearch has to fit around family and work commitments! Unfortunately, my job means I’m on the road a lot!

Does this mean that there is some option to add parks with no IUCN category assigned?
