Magic: The Gathering, Saviors of Kamigawa data

[rob]

Brian omitted a few imprtant details that impact how quickly we get the Magic data files updated. First, the data we received the first time was not complete, so we had to wait until this past week for them to get us complete data. More importantly, the data we're now receiving uses a COMPLETELY different format from the way we got it before. This means that we have to write a completely new converter to transform the new data format to the proper format needed by CV - it's NOT just a modification to the existing converter. So it's not something we can do instantly, but we'll do our best to get it done as quickly as practical.

Thanks, Rob

Just after GenCon, we finally received data for both Saviors and 9th
Edition from Wizards of the Coast. We expect to have data files up for both
sets very soon, and in advance of Ravnica. We expect to be able to get
Ravnica data up on or immediately after the release date, but again that
will be dependent on how soon we can get data from WotC. Our hope is that
now that we've ironed out the kinks with Saviors and 9th, we'll have a
workable standard process that will get information to us and thus to you
in a much more timely fashion.

Thanks for hanging with us on this one. We appreciate your patience, and
your continued support for Card Vault.
