A new version (v3.0.0) of the File Checker has been released:
This major v3.0.0 update is essential for maintaining data compliance with the newest international network standards.
You will need to update both the .jar executable and the file_checker_spec folder. This new major version mainly includes the use of NVS reference tables (updated 21/04/2026) to perform format and metadata checks. These tables are included in the file_checker_spec folder.
Other notable changes: activation of logs (console and file), PI_NAME check against the R40 table, and a fix for NaN/Inf checks in Trajectory files.
