Changes
are listed in ascending date order within each table below.
Finding your release number: The release number currently in use is displayed in the upper left corner of the login screen. If already logged in to CARS+, type “LOGIN” from the OPTION field of any menu to view the login screen and see the release number.
The format of
the release number is either:
v12.9-YYMMDD (where YYMMDD represents the date in the format “year month day”.)
For example, April 14, 2010 is shown as: v12.9-100410
A date more recent than your release date is a new feature available in the latest release.
OR
12.9-YYMMDDx (where the date is shown the same as the above followed by a letter.)
For example, December 12, 2009, letter T is shown as: 12.9-091209T
A feature with a letter that is later in the alphabet than your letter is a new feature available only in a later release.
When upgrading from any release prior to 12.9-100411, the upgrade process must be done in two stages. Detailed instructions follow.
Some clients wish to load vehicles into CARS+ in advance of their purchase. In this situation, the vehicles should not be considered part of the available fleet by the Planning Calendar until such time as they are expected to be put in service. As a result, a change was made to the Planning Calendar such that it will not consider any vehicle as part of the available fleet until the date specified by the In Service Date. Vehicles with this field blank will not be considered. For any vehicle with the In Service Date field blank, UPD67 will write the Purchase Date to the In Service Date. If this action is not desired, then the question prompted by UPD67 should be answered "N". In this event, some other method must be used to update vehicles with a blank In Service Date. This can be done either manually or by use of the XCLVEH program.
NOTE: As of the first release following 12.9-101014, UPD67 will no longer be an interactive program. It will run automatically as if the question had been answered "Y" (yes).
UPD59 and UPD59B -- On 26 October 2010 a problem was discovered with the UPD59 and UPD59B programs. The programs were patched and the patches have been installed on the cars+v12.9-100411 release available on the download site on 27 October, 2010. This updated version should be downloaded and used for all future upgrades requiring this release.
