Alrighty! generatedata.com has been update to 3.2.4. This was a pretty big update – the site hadn’t been updated in over a year (!). It includes lots of database changes, features and more. Please send me an email if you find any bugs.

Breaking Changes

This is the first time an upgrade has deliberately introduced a breaking change. I hated to do it, but it had to be done. The old Credit Card Data Type has been dropped. Please use the PAN Data Type in the “Credit Card Data” group.

New Features

Please note, the free downloadable version of generatedata.com also has this feature and everything else discussed here. Not that I don’t love people donating (sure helps paying the hosting bills!) but just so you know. :)

  • Data Set backups. For anyone with an account on the site, whenever you save a data set, it’ll automatically make a backup of it. It retains the last 200 edits you make to a data set. So, in case you accidentally mess something up, you can just browse the old saved versions to get it back.
  • Configurable Plugins. Over time, the plugin list have grown, and some aren’t going to be as useful to some people as others. So now, when you log into the site you’ll see a new Settings tab. There, you can uncheck whatever Data Types, Export Types and Country-specific plugins you don’t want.
  • New Plugins & more country data. Chile and Sweden have been added to the country list, and there are few more plugins, most country-specific.
  • Bug fixes. Lots!

Anyway, enjoy. As mentioned, send me an email if you spot anything wonky.
