The end of the year is near, so this is CLZ Alwin with the 12th and last CLZ Newsletter for 2023. But first: A happy 2024 from the entire CLZ Team (13 people now!): Martin, Rowdy, Sven, Stijn, AJ, Pim, Joe, Bernard, Justin, Taco, Senno, Sytske and me, Alwin!

December 2023 was kind of a slow month in terms of app updates and software releases. But we have definitely not been sitting still 🙂

With CLZ Comics 9.0 alive and kicking, our mobile team Pim, Bernard and AJ are preparing four upcoming v9.0 updates for the other four mobiles: CLZ Movies, CLZ Games, CLZ Books and CLZ Music. Read on below for more details.

The CLZ content team has been working on three huge Core projects, for movies, games and comics. More info below. We even hired a new part-time content manager to help with that: Taco’s friend Senno has joined the team for two days a week!
Also, Justin has created a cool Wrap-Up 2023 infographic about our Core comic database, find the link below.

Let’s go over these projects in this newsletter:

App and software updates:
- Coming up: version 9.0 for the CLZ Movies/Games/Books/Music mobile apps
- Coming up: additions and improvement for the Connect web-based software
CLZ Core updates:

A big update for your Connect software today, with several cool new features and some smaller tweaks, all in one go:

Easily add cover images by pasting into the Edit Screen’s Covers tab
New Month and Date folder options for all date fields
Improved Update from Core tool
“Move to Other Collection” now possible from details panel toolbar

This is CLZ Alwin, bringing you the CLZ News for April 2022!

Strangely enough, only ONE new release this month (CLZ Comics 7.6). Well, not that strange really, as part of the team is working on big back-end projects and the rest on upcoming May releases.

So today’s newsletter is all about “What’s Cooking at the CLZ HQ?”:

Now live:
- CLZ Comics 7.6: Bigger cover images in Add Comics screen
What’s Cooking?
- A new partner for comic values!
- New “Card View” for all CLZ mobile apps
- Faster searches with our new search engine servers
- Multiple languages for the Connect web-based software!

For this update, the main goal was to make the cover images in the Add Comics screen bigger, to make it easier to find the issue or variant that you own.

However, while working on that, we ran into many other things that could be improved, so we figured why not? So in the end, it turned out be a serious overhaul of the Add Comics screen 🙂

Here’s an overview of all the improvements:

Bigger cover images in the Issue List
The Issue List for a series now opens in a separate page
Preview Page now also shows a bigger cover image
New look or series search results and series search “suggestions box”
Close the Add Comics screen with “X” top left, no more “double back button” confusion

We have finally been able to free up web-developer Stijn from several long running “back-end” projects, so he is making good progress on all kinds of smaller Music Connect improvements.
