7.1.0 - Completely rewritten Chassis Decoder

Chassis Decoder

https://www.classicminidiy.com/technical/chassis-decoder

I am really excited to announce the complete rewrite and recreation of my Chassis Decoder. The original decoder was not particularly reliable and often failed to decode known chassis codes. I have spent a ton of time reworking this one to hopefully address as many issues as possible to allow people to decode their Chassis Codes more reliably.

Reporting bugs

Please let me know if you see issues with the new tool. This is VERSION ONE, so there almost certainly will be bugs, and if you encounter any, please consider making a bug report:

• Post an Issue - https://github.com/SomethingNew71/classicminidiy/issues
• Send an email - [email protected]

If you submit a bug with this Chassis Decoder, please include your model year, full chassis number, and the expected results.

What's Changed

• Reintroduces Chassis Decoder, Nuxt Content Upgrade, Caching Improvements by @SomethingNew71 in #513
• Chassis Decoder - Bugfixes and Edge Case Improvements by @SomethingNew71 in #514
• Chassis Decoder - More bugfixes for pickups and mokes by @SomethingNew71 in #515

Full Changelog: 7.0.0...7.1.0

7.0.0 - Complete Visual Rewrite | DaisyUI

What's Changed

The site has been completely rewritten from the ground up using DaisyUI instead of Vuetify. This update will enhance the rendering, speed, and stability of the website and application, with minimal impact on the visual layout. Users will see minor differences, but everything should be familiar and not feel too jarring.

If you encounter any bugs or find an area that could use some improvements please do either:

1. Post in the Issues area of this page: https://github.com/SomethingNew71/classicminidiy/issues
2. Send me an email at [email protected]
