Lots of new things, as you can tell right away from the title, so let us not waste any more time. First up:<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hiracdelest.com\/mission-status.htm\"><strong>The Mission (Book) Database<\/strong><\/a>: There are 80+ new international Classic covers added (And by <em>Classic<\/em>, I mean the 90&#8217;s books, so don&#8217;t freak out thinking that it&#8217;s for the relaunch). There is also 1 new inside cover added for Megamorphs #2, thanks to Matt. It was the last inside cover we were missing, so we are now officially complete with those! (I think.)<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">On top of this, I have also gone through all of the book pages and added videos for the ones that had their cover animations released. You will be able to see these videos right on their individual pages as opposed to the way we had it before. The book page layouts have also been slightly tweaked and rearranged to give everything a more uniform and organized look.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">In addition to this, the Database has a <em>Relaunch<\/em> books section now too! I debated on how to handle this for a while, but I eventually decided that it would be best to separate it from the current <em>Classic<\/em> book pages, rather than try to merge them together. For one, it would be clutter-hell to try and organize the different marketing campaigns, promotions, products, etc, that would be related with the two book runs. I also thought it would be best to  not compromise on the comprehensive amounts of detail on those current <em>Classic<\/em> pages, for fear that new readers would start reading them. Hopefully the two sections will keep things organized and at the same time be spoiler-friendly for those new to the series. I may merge them in the future, once the relaunch has run its course, but for now they are best to be kept separate.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Moving on from that, the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hiracdelest.com\/database\/full-articles.htm\">Articles Section<\/a><\/strong> is now also updated: A relaunch category has been added, along with all of the official news for it so far: Scholastic&#8217;s library webcast, press release, K.A&#8217;s video, cover animation, etc. <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">This brings me to our very last part of the update: The <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hiracdelest.com\/downloads\/full-video.htm\">Video Section<\/a><\/strong>. Everything is changed in there, from the way it operates, to the way it is structured behind the scenes. I have new categories set up for future Relaunch related media, and all of the videos so far have also been added in there, along with stuff we had before: morphing animations, tv show clips, trailers, etc.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">So, to sum up (and for those that didn&#8217;t bother reading any of that), here is a brief rundown of everything added in for this update:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong>ARTICLES &#038; INTERVIEWS<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8211; Scholastic&#8217;s 2011 Spring Library Preview Webcast<br \/>\n&#8211; Scholastic&#8217;s Relaunch Press Release, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>K.A.

At this point I&#8217;d also like to add that I will <em>forever<\/em> hate Amazon and other book sites for unnecessarily adding white space to all of their cover pictures. I had to <em>individually crop every one of those covers<\/em> folks!<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Anyway, I think that&#8217;s it for now. The archive is no where near complete, but we are making progress, and this update was another huge step forward. Look around, enjoy. If you see anything wrong that needs fixing, or if you have something that I don&#8217;t already have (or have it in better quality), then please get a hold of me as usual. I will do my best to get it up there as soon as I possibly can.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Until next time! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Okay, here is that ridiculously large update that I promised.
