News:

• 2020.07.24: v0.3.3, big release with new features and important bugfixes. See the releases page for details. A lot of bugs has been squashed and now RegionFixer can scan poi region files.

• 2019.09.20: v0.3.2, bugfix release. See the release page to know more.

• 2019.04.22: Version v0.3.0 is out. This fixes a lot of bugs and updates region fixer to the new world format. The GUI is not working right now and the windows exe is not yet created. IMPORTANT: this new version of region fixer only works with python 3.x. To get it just go the repository and download the master branch or the release.

• 2015-03-18: Region-Fixer v0.2.0 is here! And now it has a GUI! Lots of changes and improvements, and probably some bugs.

• v0.1.3 Update for 1.7 worlds! Update the NBT library (thanks nbt people!). Now 1.7 worlds work properly.

• v0.1.2 Bug fix update

• 2013-07-11: Version 0.1.1: Another big update! This version adds code to detect chunks sharing offset and region files without header, improves the printing of results, fixes a bunch of bugs (some of them really nasty bugs) and a few things more.

• 2013-01-18: Version 0.1.0: Big update! This adds interactive mode, fixes a bunch of things and updates the nbt library.

• 2012-10-18: A new version is still being developed very (very) slowly, is taking much more time than I expected but I think it's almost done. I've been between very busy and slacking off. No more to say!

• 2012-03-26: Version 0.0.9: Thanks to carlallen this new version should work in Mac OS X.

• 2012-03-11: Version 0.0.8: This release fixes a critical bug, it was impossible to re write a chunk (so it was impossible to delete entities). softbagel spoted this problem first, thanks!

• 2012-03-05: Version 0.0.7: Anvil support! Now Region Fixer only reads anvil worlds. The update was really easy thanks to nbt by twoolie and the help of dtrauma and macfreek who updated the library. I only had to change what files to search in region fixer. Thanks! Also, changing this make me realise that the aether was never scanned. Now it's fixed! The windows exe is in the downloads. Also, there's a new option "--interactive" that runs region-fixer in a console mode, at the moment is not very useful, but inteds to be something someday.

• 2011-12-09: Version 0.0.6: Happy new year! I've just had the time to fix the windows multiprocessing thing and now there's a new windows exe in the download page. The problem was much easir than expected, I needed to activate freeze support for the application calling freezing_support() at the very start. There are a lot of changes since the last windows exe (v0.0.4), and some bugs fixed since v0.0.5, look at the commits if you want more details :P . Good luck!

• 2011-11-14: Version 0.0.5 is here! A lot of code has been rewritten some bug fixed and some stuff added. Now region-fixer is multiprocessing! This makes the scan of big worlds much faster but also added some problems. It seems that the multiprocessing stuff and py2exe doesn't works as expected (didn't try very hard though) so for now there is no new version of the windows exe. This shouldn't be a big problem because region-fixer works without problem if python is installed.

• 2011-10-02: Since a while all the new stuff is going to the branch object-oriented. I'm cleaning everything and trying to make the code more beautiful and redable for everyone. Also I have in mind a new feature (checking for wrong located entities). Finished all this I'll push a new version and upload a new windows exe. NOTE: the branch object-oriented is not mean to be used! It's incomplete, usually broken and without comments in some parts!
