Update at 00:54: Files have been updated, so they now contain a database file that fixes a minor (but somewhat annoying) Tour Down Under bug. Torrents have been "reset" in terms of seeders/leechers and thus probably won't be fast during the night. I will be seeding again in the morning.

After a few months of hard work, especially by a certain core of people (you know who you are), it's time to finally release the final version (at least for now) of PCM.daily's 2012 DB.

A lot of you have already tried out the Public Beta, but to recap, the 2012 DB contains 83 fully updated teams. 54 of these have 2012 graphics. We also included 2012 photos for 50 teams, and 27 races have their 2012 profiles - this includes the Tour de France (with the exception of five stages), the Giro d'Italia and plenty of other major events. The full feature list can be found here.

You know the drill by now - the smallest download (Public Beta to V1 Update) is available now. Another update (Expansion Pack to 2012 V1 Update) will be available shortly while the complete 2012 DB V1 won't be available until tomorrow. Links here.

Seeing there's an increasing amount of questions regarding the final version of PCM.daily's 2012 DB, here's a quick update:

We're currently making the last few changes and adding some tid-bits of graphics. The final tests will be done tomorrow, and if they are succesful, the database can be released.

However, it should be noted that I will be spending a fair bit of the day outside of home which can make it necessary to delay the release to Monday.

We're exactly a month into 2012, and here at PCM.daily we're marking that one the release of the Public Beta version of PCM.daily's 2012 DB.

The package contains 83 teams which all have been updated with the latest transfers. 46 of these teams have 2012 graphics like shirts, transferts and logos. There's also a bunch of races with their 2012 routes, including the Giro and the World Championship - unfortunately, both the Tour and Vuelta are still yet to be done by the community.

For a list of features, check out this thread.

Don't forget that this is a Public Beta. The final version of V1 will probably be released mid-February. If you find any bugs, please report them here.

Lastly, the downloads. When writing this, only a Pre-Beta to Public Beta Update is available, but be sure to check out this thread which we will keep updated as more links and mirrors become available.

31/01 14:41: At this point, we're just waiting for the last shirt to be finished. We expect to release it later today.

Just a short update on the PCM.daily 2012 DB situation:

The release of the Public Beta is a couple of days away - we expect it to be released either Monday or Tuesday. It will be available in three different packages:

1) Full version which includes everything you need
2) Expansion Pack V1-updater (for those who have the Exp Pack V1 installed)
3) Pre Beta-updater (for those who have the Pre Beta installed)

The files will be available both as torrents and on one of the few file sharing sites that are still left...

More info on exact teams, features etc. will be available shortly before the release.

It's finally time to announce the winners of the PCM.daily Awards 2011!

We know that you have anxiously been waiting for this day. You haven't been able to think, you haven't been able to sleep - but now, it's time to put all those sleepless nights behind us. Well, for the winners anyway. The rest of you? Better luck later this year ;)
