Dec 2, 2011
  • Added pastebin upload option. See http://www.halfdone.com/pastebin/?id=1-F94 for example
  • Added Zip file support (Don't extract DeviceLists.zip). Future version will allow using zip or not
  • Now works on the device lists in memory, in most cases will detect faster, expecially from older systems and slow drives (like floppies) at the expense of using more ram
