Listed in the patch notes, now the only question is when they will actually go live with the patch (it's a biiig patch...)

Yeah, I'm very excited about the additions. Now that all the Euro release stuff, and server migration has pretty much settled down, I have started working on the next big release of Census and will probably release it soon after the patch goes live.

Well, patch is live and I understand Rollie is hard at work on the updated mod. I for one will choose to purge my data and start local information from scratch when it's released because the addition of date/time and the way it will improve the accuracy of data collected.

Rollie, I'm sure it will be in the patch notes but just curious, will you put a date tag at every stored char now and if so how much do you expect this will increase the size of the savedvariables.lua file?

There is/was already a field there where I was munging the date/time so I don't expect this part to increase the file size. However, I will be tracking more time data, but not an explosion of data. I haven't decided how many yet, but I am leaning towards keeping the last 50 entries of time data which wouldn't add much to the SavedVariables file.

I will hopefully be able to release the new version in a couple of days but I may hold off for a week as I'll be on vacation all next week and unable to patch/make fixes if a problem pops up.
