EDIT: This version contains an error that will affect most everyone. I've removed it and a fixed version will be available soon. Sorry for the trouble!

------

Check the list below for all the changes.

Important Note
For existing databases, if you used the Career Exporter to import pre-sim player seasons, they will be deleted the first time you use this version. To get them back in, simply run the Career Exporter again the next time you import a season. The pre-sim seasons will then be added back into the database.

Enhancements and Fixes

Fixed error that caused program to only copy photos and logos with BMP extension regardless of what the user entered in the Options screen.
Fixed error when calculating fielding Win Shares that would cause a divide by zero error for a particularly poor defensive team.
Fixed error that prevented some years in bat_career.csv and pitch_career.csv from not importing into the database. The team field was causing many previous seasons to not get imported. Small catch, though. The career files only get imported once, even if the career CSV files are created each season. This improves the speed of the import since there is no reason to reimport the same data every season. It also means that this improvement will not happen for existing databases. To work around this, the first time you open an existing database with this version, it will delete all the career (pre-sim years) records. To get them back, create the career CSV files for the next season you import. It will only import the seasons before the first simmed season.
Fixed error that occured if a player history item was longer than 255 characters.
Improved reading of player histories. Should now get each item more realiably.
Added message box to inform user of how many All-Stars are imported.
Added a check at the beginning of the import process to prevent importing the same year twice and to prevent importing if the season isn't over.
Added better handling of Free Agents. Now, if the program cannot figure out the team, a screen will pop up allowing the user to select the correct team from a dropdown box.
Improved the HOF screen to show stats from both pre-sim years and simmed years. The totals now reflect both as well.
