  • Minor bug fixes

Version 6 - May-11-2018

  • Added support for Namecheap Registrar API for importing and looking up domains
  • You can now select the registrars, from the supported and configured list, before doing an import using registrar API.

  • Minor interface improvements and bug fixes.

Version 5 - July-30-2017

This is an important update, please see below.

  • The registrar whois server token in COM and NET registry whois has changed. This requires a manual configuration change in all our domain name management software products (please see here). This update removes the need for manual configuration change.
  • Minor interface improvements and bug fixes.

Version 5 - March-20-2017

  • Fixed an issue with ORG domain expiry dates. This problem occurred because the .ORG registry blanked the 'Registrar Registration Expiration Date:' row which in turn caused the software to ignore the data obtained from the actual expiry date row.

Unchecking the 'Process Alerts Faster' box in 'App Settings' will now cause the alert processing to happen every 10 minutes. You can use this option to reduce the number of email alerts you get (each email will contain more number of entries).
  • Minor improvements and fixes.

Version 5 - February-02-2015

  • Fixed an issue that prevented expiry dates after 2100 from being shown in the table. Some domains have expiry dates set in the next century!

  • Automatic whois configuration when you add a domain with a TLD that has not yet been setup. You no longer have to do manual configurations or wait for a software update. With so many new TLDs becoming available, manually configuring each TLD is not a viable option anymore. This feature will make managing domains a lot more easy.
  • In previous versions you had to re-do a whois lookup after making changes to the data extraction tokens. In v5, you can simply parse the registry and registrar whois records again without doing a whois lookup.
  • Support for multiple visual themes, Advanced whois diagnostic tool, Much Improved domain column setup and much more...
  • An an earlier build of v5 didn't support enabling custom data columns in domain table. This was fixed. Please make sure that you are using the version posted on or after Sep-11-2014.

  • Added an option to disable 'save' for custom SQL query lists. This is useful when you have multiple users and you don't want the global settings to get overwritten. If you disable this, you will need to manually edit the sql.mod.xml file in data store path or selectively allow one of the work stations to edit the query list.
  • Improved CSV data import
  • Minor fixes

    July-27-2012

  • Added support for looking up Domain Zone Data. Your IP should have explicit permission for AXFR and you should specify a valid AXFR server (either globally or individually for each domain). The software will attempt to use NS1 (from whois records) if none is specified. This is an advanced feature. Use it only if you know about AXFR.
  • The lower pane has a new tab for displaying the domain zone data.
  • The "Lookups" tab in ribbon has extra options for domain zone lookups (drop-down menu from DNS Lookup)
  • Minor improvements to data extraction
  • Important: New database fields / columns added. Please update your existing database projects (click the "Config Tab >> Update Db" ribbon button after opening your project). This will add the new fields to the database. You need to do this once for each of your existing projects.

    June-23-2012

  • Fixes a recent date related issue when used in some Non-English language versions of Windows.
  • Download only if you have problems with extraction and display of 'expiry / created / updated dates' after updating to the June-08-2012 build.

    June-08-2012

  • Important changes. Please read below!
  • Important: New database fields / columns added. Please update your existing database projects (click the "Config Tab >> Update Db" ribbon button after opening your project). This will add the new fields to the database. You need to do this once for each of your existing projects.
  • New options to view the IP address of the base domain (softnik.com) as well as "www."+domain (www.softnik.com). So there is a new column called "WWW IP". The reverse DNS for both these IPs are also checked and displayed as "PTR" and "WWW PTR".
  • Removed the "Append WWW for DNS check" setting. The "IP" column will always display the IP of the root domain. Use the "WWW IP" column for seeing the IP of the www+domain name. See above.
  • Previously the software used to give preference to the domain status reported by the registrar (not the registry). It will now combine both. For example, if the registry returns "redemption period" and the registrar returns "locked" the extracted status will now display "locked,redemption period".
  • Added option to check TTL (Time To Live) for the domain root record. The "App Settings" have new options for managing this.
  • New display configurations called "DNS Data" and "MX Record" added to the "View" tab and the "View" drop-list.

  • Fixed an issue in date extraction for projects that use MS SQL Server database. This affected users who had date format set to DD-MM-YYYY in regional settings. The earlier fix was to use MMM instead of MM (short name for month instead of digits in regional settings).
  • Fixed some minor bugs in custom SQL query execution.

    March-11-2012

  • Added a new column called "Registry Created". This will display the domain creation date from the registry whois record and is meaningful for domains that have a separate registry whois data (Com, Net, TV, etc.). This is needed because the registry provided creation date differs from the registrar provided date for some domains.

    Important: Please remember to click on "Config > Update DB" ribbon button to create the new database field. You need to do this once for every project.

    Use the "Setup Columns" option to enable the display of the extra column (if needed).

  • A new database field called "Home Page Bytes" added. This will store the size of the home page as a number (and so may be sorted).
  • Some minor changes

  • Changes to default whois configurations.

  • Country code domains like co.uk, com.au, etc. needed to be manually configured immediately after installation. This has been fixed.  Download only if you have problems looking up these domains or you haven't already configured the settings manually.

Previous Changes

  • The software is now digitally signed by Softnik Technologies. This is to ensure that the software has not been modified by any one. You can right click the downloaded file (if you are using Windows XP) and check  the 'Digital Signature' tab for details.
  • HTTP page check will indicate status codes like like 200 OK, 301 Moved, etc. Previous builds used to follow the redirect and show the status of the final page.
