New Catobase problem w/ OOTP 6.5a

I noticed in a managerial career league a problem with mid-year retirements. They are not being picked up correct by Catobase.

2 players retired mid-season on me. Oddly enough their player history shows them resigning with another team later in the season. They both never player another game in the majors though.

Catobase is showing them playing the entire season with their new team.

I probably know the problem & a fix. Cato didn't have the program search for mid-season retirements because they didn't exist when he created the program.

The fix is probably simple to do. Search lnews.txt for any mid-season retirements and put into ltrans.txt a statement that the team released the player. Catobase knows how to handle players being released.

Markus - If you read this, could you possibly make a change to the program so that OOTP automatically adds a release statement for the players retiring mid-season?
