This updated version of 2.2.0 fixes any issues with mangling of non-English UTF-8 characters introduced in the now deprecated alpha release from February 10, 2021.
It’s been a few months, but hopefully version 2.2.0 will be worth the wait. As usual, there are many bug fixes in this release. Additionally, there is a fair amount of new functionality, both in front and behind the scenes, much of which are are detailed in the v2.2.0 Release Milestone. Highlights include:
- An Awards Presentation slide show that administrators can use to present competition results. Developed with both virtual and in-person awards ceremonies in mind, an example presentation can be viewed here.
- Auto-save has been implemented for various Administration functions. Site admins can now save certain data points on lists without a page refresh - form fields will automatically save input when the user moves on to the next form field or clicks/taps "out" of the field:
- Manage Entries – judging number, paid, received, admin notes, staff notes, location/box.
- Add/Edit Scores – consensus score, mini-BOS, place.
- Add/Edit BOS Scores – score, place.
- Sponsors – level, logo, description, display.
- A Tables Planning Mode has been implemented to allow admins to plan their table configurations and judge/steward assignments prior to sorting. This removes the previous restriction requiring entries to be marked as “received” to set up tables.
- Once sorting happens and entries are marked as "received" in the system, Admins should then switch back to the default state, Tables Competition Mode, to review their table configurations, flight assignments, round associations, and personnel assignments in preparation for judging.
- Display of archived results data. If entry, score, and/or BOS data is present in an archived table, a new Past Winners column will be available on all public pages with links to results for past competition iterations.
- Please note that Admins will need enable display of past results data via the Admin > Data Management > Archive function.
- Designate a Head Judge for any defined table for Traditional Judging. Competitions using Queued Judging also have the option to designate Mini-BOS judges for the table as well.
