Release notes 

WACS 0.7.4 is now out! Since the last release in December, we've been working hard and there are lots of improvements to many parts of WACS. In particular, the search system has seen a lot of attention with the ability to search models by Photographer worked with and by Nationality added, along with a big revamp to how results are displayed. The download and unpacking system has been upgraded to properly handle video clips, along with other changes to make it much easier to search and update video clip information. The download system has also had a big revamp and now gets its priorities right about what to go after! We've also added a few wacky new junkyard programs - one to download selected models' complete collections to your laptop for trips away - and another to create Degrees of Separation charts for the lesbian liaisons between models.

We really hope you'll enjoy the cool new stuff we've added to this release.

Enjoy!
Cheers, Beaky.
