What's included:

1) Complete and correct History for:

-Ligue 1 (1933-2022)
-Ligue 2 (1934-2022)
-National 1 (1994-2022)
-National 2 (1994-2022)

-Coupe de France correct finalists and stadiums

2) Every single french team in this DB has a foundation date now.

3) Activation of the following teams that were wrongly set as extinct in the original DB:

-RP JOINVILLE
-LEVALLOIS SC
-CORBEIL ESSONNES
-LE PERREUX
-CAP CHARENTON
-ANTONY SPORTS
-RIS ORANGIS
-FC DAMMARIE
-FC GOUSSAINVILLE
-SC BASTIDIENNE BORDEAUX
-ESPOIR CLUB BASTIA
-FC AJACCIO (NOT SURE FOR THIS TEAM BUT IS ACTIVATED ANYWAY)
-AS BERGBIETEN
-FC TILLOY LES MOFFLAINES
-AVENIR MOURENX
-FC ROCHEFORT AMANGE
-AS PUSIGNAN
-SPORTING CLUB SAINT-MARTINOIS

All of them were placed in the Division Inferieure (lower league) and regional divisions for N1,N2,N3 and U19 was set upon the region each one of them belongs.

4) Correction of names here and there

examples:

FC AURILLAC ARPAJON - FC AURILLAC
RACING CLUB DE FRANCE FOOTBALL COLOMBES 92 - RACING CLUB DE FRANCE FOOTBALL

5) Several connections from extinct teams were made with teams that are their successors nowadays

examples:

EVIAN TG -THONON EVIAN GRAND GENEVE
CREUTZWALD AND L'HOPITAL - CREUTZWALD 03

 NOTE: QUIMPER HAS A STRANGE HISTORY WITH NAMES.

- STADE QUIMPEROIS was used in 3 different periods and 
- QUIMPER CORNOUAILLE FC was used in 2 different periods

Therefore in its history tab it's not any mistake but the reason i described above!

CHANGELOG:

- GS NICOLIN was renamed as Olympique de Pantin.
- ES 3V2 was renamed as FC Nancy (the old and extinct team that later was merged with COS Villiers).

* Both clubs had either won the Coupe de France or reached the final a couple of times.
**Both teams that were renamed hopefully had no history on national basis so it was easy and safe choise.

- For a strange reason there were 2 teams with the name Toulon le Las, Toulon le Las never refounded it only merged with SC Toulon Var to form SC Toulon in 2016.
 Speaking of SC Toulon i used the Toulon le Las version that had no competition history and renamed it also SC Toulon (1st edition of the team) that existed untill 1984.
 2nd version of the team was SC Toulon Var and 3rd SC Toulon.
 All 3 teams + the merged Toulon le Las history can be shown in SC Toulon competition history (pics below).

- For a similar reason there were also 2 teams with the name AS Fresnoy.
 ****The one was picked to become Norcap Grenoble which later merged with Grenoble and can be found on the teams history too!

WHAT'S MISSING:

 Although it was a huge project some things i couldn't change

 Examples:

- Some extinct B or C teams are missing from the DB as a result no classification was given to them.

- In cases of active B teams the only thing you can edit is the last year's position so before that i couldn't do any edit.

- Teams that spent at least one year on a national base and are missing from the original DB:

 1)AIGLE SPORTIF DES BROSSES VILLEURBANNE
 2)ASCA WITTELSHEIM
 3)USO BRUAY LA BUISSIERE
 4)FCLSC CHATEAUROUX
 5)NORCAP GRENOBLE****
 6)ARSAC FC
 7)OLYMPIQUE D'AJACCIO
 8)ES PENNOISE
 9)US ANNEMASSE
 10)US FRIVILLE - ESCARBOTIN
 11)STADE LEONARD KREISKER

 ***Football Club Bagnols-Pont is a team founded in 1992 from the merge of 2 teams:

 UC Bagnols Jeunesse and  Independante Pont-Saint-Esprit
   
 Both teams spent at least 1 year on national basis and their history is shown on FC Bagnols Pont with the name of the later though.

 Below are some example pics of the before and after!
 
 PS.If you spot any mistake please let me know, any feedback or critisism is welcome!

That ES3V2 team kept evading me. Nice, now I know.

On the subject of the teams that have been set to extinct while they are still active, it seems that that is something from the researchers. Have seen the same for Germany and Poland happen. I might ask SI what the research instruction is for this.

It might happen when a team is resurrected but playing in so low a division that it is unlikely to ever rise back into the playable leagues and is therefore outside SI interest.

Minor and final update.

Link is now updated for final winter 23.4 version

* Gazelec Ajaccio which was previously set as extinct in the previous 23.3 version (which is true as it had financial problems and left the championship), was re-activated mainly for historical reasons as a new phoenix club is about to start from the upcoming 23-24 season on regional basis of course
