  • Build 8
  • Fix import from another series import problem.
  • Fix paste hot key to ctrl+v.
  • Build 7
  • Add a Format facility to columns (Format tab in Edit+Column) that is used when publishing. This is a string that allows you to embed the current field as `*` and any other field as `fieldname`.

  • Add EditCell window to help file.
  • Fix publish FlightAssignments menu going AWOL at times.
  • Add Edit,Cut,Copy,Paste cell to right-click menu in main grid view.

  • When importing series/competitors, auto show the imported columns in the main grid view.

  • Add a button next to each expression field (8 off) to test it - you can twiddle variable values etc.
  • Add a user interface window to test expressions and add to help file.
  • Fiddle with the icons a bit.
  • Generalise the expression evaluation infrastructure - no visible change but there may expression evaluation side effects.
  • Add eq, ne, lt, gt, lte, gte functions to those available in expressions, for example eq(x,y) evaluates to 1 if x = y. Useful in scoring systems when there is an exception for place N.

  • Add classes for the flag image and text in the CSS style files so the appearance can be customised.
  • Add a tooltip showing the nationality on published flag images.
  • Build 3
  • Add a facility to publish Nationalities as flags in Edit+SeriesProperties. There are two sets of flags on the sailwave website - "small" and "big". You need to be connected to the internet to see the flags when publishing, otherwise they will display as errors but will be OK when uploaded. Users can supply thier own images and change the standard URL.

  • Make the ISAF SailorId facility more flexible in how the URL is represented.
  • Facilitate publishing the nationality as a flag in Serup+SeriesProperties.

  • Allow fields up to 250 chars on displayed on screen.
  • Build 2
  • Fix problem with aliases, null results and DNC in aliases competitors.
  • Fix column promotion going up to cols at a time.

  • Fix the publish to email (using email client) so it works with Thunderbird.
  • Use the installed email client or SMTP to send news to Y&Y.
  • Allow BCR/BCE to be calculated based on any finishing boat, not just the winner. The boat can be chosen by a new field called "back cacluated index (%)" in the rating tab of a scoring system.

  • Add ability to set crew weight in ISAF SCHRS calculator.
  • Change to a single document interface philosophy a la OpenOffice etc. This should make Sailwave much more stable under Linux and Apple OS emulators.

  • Allow page breaks to be used in any context when publishing.
  • Fix some of the publishing UI opions not being remembered.

  • BUILD 11
  • Allow SMTP information to have blank user/pass for open relays and ISP servers.
  • Fix occasional error and crash relating to "Clarion HTML Help Control".
  • Fix blat invocation. blat is the utility that connects to the SMTP server.

  • Add photo capability to Y&Y news reporting tool and enforce rule that a report must be included.
  • BUILD 7
  • Allow use of the Sailwave SMTP server if the user does not have one.
  • Extend the tool that allows you to send news to Y&Y to be much slicker - so that it bypasses the Outbox and sends directly using the Sailwave mail relay. Also make it more prominent. As more clubs get broadband there is more scope for using this facility before, during and after events. Don't worry about Mark, he'll keep up... :-)

  • BUILD 2
  • Fix the scoring system option that leaves qualifying at their previous scores. Please note: Sailwave will probably have reset this tick box, you will probably need to tick it again in the relevant scoring systems.
  • BUILD 1
  • Make default templates and styles "XHTML 1.0 strict" compatible. This means they will import into other apps far better than before as it's essentially XML. There are lots of applicaitions emerging that take XML and turn it into various printable sources (e.g. PDF). The style sheets are also much smaller, as are the resulting HTML files. However it does mean that you will need to rewrite any style files and template files that you have created youself; but it should be a relatively simple and quick once-only procedure. If you have problems, point me at an example of what you are trying to achieve on the web and I'll help you write the new file.

  • Add save as XML option.
  • Add another New menu to base a series on a user's series.

  • Fix code setup shortcut button not showing for scoring systems.
  • When updating locale files, move obsolete translations to a special [Obsolete] section.
  • Build 2
  • Move start date format from scoring system into series options (it's nothing to do with scoring really, more results entry).

  • Make the SailNo wizard always follow the start, rather than an existing results if there is one.
  • Fix a problem with fleets not being upgraded from 1.57.
  • Add more operators to expressions; i.e. as well as = allow <> > < >= and <=.
  • Add some default templates for File+New. It is expected that users will create their own in a suitable location on their computer.
  • Add File+NewLike menu to use an existing series as a template to create a new series.
  • Fix incorrect delete-race error message about all races being deleted.

Version 1.88

  • Add option to Edit+AllCompetitors to only set field if blank - useful after joinging two series together vertically.
  • Add Appendix B8.8a tie breaking (standard for windsurfing but useful in all contexts). Added such that B8.8a, A8.1 and A8.2 can be applied in sequence.
  • Generalise the right-click map menu to all fields when importing CSV files.
  • When mapping fields during CSV import extend the mapping gusswork to recognise CSV columns named the same as renamed columns in the series; so for example a CSV column named Klubb will match the Club column if the Club column has been renamed to Klubb in the series.
  • When importing a series summary fromm a CSV file and the places are in fact points, convert to an integer.
  • Remember tab in Edit+Competitor.
  • Remove the propagation stuff from flight assignments; just assign to the races you want using for example "1-3".
  • Add Seed column (accessed from ISAF sailor tab in Edit+Competitor).
  • Revamp user interface WRT flight assignments: show flight assignments in Edit+Competitor; formally tell Sailwave whether or not flights can change on a per race basis, or, are fixed for every race (in Setup+Series); if flight can change from race to race, show 'current assignment' in Flight column; if flights can change don't allow Tools+SeedField to target the flight field and don't allow Tools+SetCompetitorField to target it.
  • Move everything that was in Setup+SeriesOptions but is more naturally in Edit_ScoringSystem back into the scoring system. These fields are common to all scoring systems; need a way to mark them as such. They were not getting found over in Setup+SeriesOptions.
  • Add tickbox in scoring system to say this series is split into finals and quals races.
  • Add facility to auto name races Q1 to Qn and F1 to Fm for qual/finals series (see scoring system).
  • Change the method of marking finals races from a tick box in the race to a race number in the scoring system.
  • Tweak code format UI.
  • Move scoring system items that must be common to all scoring systems back from Setup+Series (didn't really fit there) to a Common tab in Edit+ScoringSystem. There are good reasons why these field must be common to all scoring systems.
  • Improve copy starts UI.

Version 1.87

  • Add an option to series scoring tie breaking to only apply tie breaking to finals races as per App LE Addendum C 20.4(d). This options *only* has effect after one or more finals races has been sailed, so it can be turned on at the start of the event and forgotten about; Sailwave will tie break the quals normally and then this option will kick in after 1 or more finals has been sailed.
  • Add a tick box to Edit+Race to identify races that are in the finals of a qualification+finals series.
  • Remove the 'set codes' buttons now that the config tool is there in Edit+ScoringSystem.
  • Add configuration helper (bit of an experiment) to Edit+ScoringSystem (see the hand icon in the bottom left). Can be used on all windows eventually.
  • Steal the X icon from show/hide excluded competitors and use it for show/hide discards, and use the hand icon for the new window setup helper icon.
  • Rearrange the help file a bit and explain user guides, tutorials and third party help.
  • Move discard formatting to the global options - it's a user thing - and simplify.

Version 1.86

  • Add a conceptual sequence of event needed to score an App LE Add C series to the help file (F1). See User Guides chapter. More detail later.
  • Extend the capabilities of the SetCompetitorField tool to copy from other competitor field etc. For example you could not use this to take the Nat field and insert it before the SailNo in the SailNo field.
  • After seeding a competitor field, auto turn on screen view and publish for that field.
  • Collapse the seed race flights tool and seed competitor field tool into one seeding tool.
  • Change the name of the race rating assignment tool to be personal handicap based.

Version 1.85

  • Fix highlight line blatting other cell formats.
  • Finish the new global series independent code formatting stuff - very easy to specify formats now; e.g. a format of "p (c)" would display as 23.0 (DNF) for a result of DNF that scored as 23.0 points. Other examples: p/c => 23.0/DNF, c => DNF, p => 23.0, [c]p => [DNF]23.0, etc.
  • When scoring placed races, don't automatically rerank the places to fill holes etc. Use the actual places entered by the user at all times. This allows a App LE Add C series to be score by fleet now when the finals start; qualification places will not change, even though each fleet is essentially a separate series.

Version 1.84

  • Move code formatting to Setup+Global options. Not finished yet.
  • Bug fixes to the race rating (PH) seed tool.
  • Change the race rating seed tool (personal handicaps) variable names. Press F2 to see all the tooltips in one place.
  • Extend the race rating seed tool (personal handicaps) to have a avebcr(n) function; i..e the average of the last N BCRs, ignoring DNC, DNF etc, but including discarded scores; I think the fact a score is discarded is not relevant when calculating the next rating value.
  • Tweak Edit+Result a bit.
  • Don't chnage the view to elapsed if cancelling from the SailNo wizard.
  • Change the series options icon.
  • Add another view: scored points (no codes).
  • Add another view: scored rank (no codes).
  • Extend the display of ranks as 1st, 2nd etc (Setup+GlobalOptions) to include race ranks and change the factory default to have it turned on.
  • Fix the sync of the toolbar toggle buttons.
  • Add a toolbar button to toggle showing discard formatting.
  • Fix some cell view inconsistencies.
  • When calculating penalty points, limit to DNF points as per RRS 44.3(c).
  • Change to viewing finishes after importing or merging.
  • Fix column order after importing or new series.
  • Show sort order and cell view when exporting.
  • Add notes to race record.

Version 1.83

  • Reverse sort if sorting again by major or minor sort column. Move the position of the little prefix to have a visual clue.
  • Fix sorting by scored rank.
  • Allow any top-level scoring system to be applied across all competitors or by field. This choice is made when scoring. It may mean that some of your scoring systems are badly named now; since recently they';ve been restricted to scoring by method or another.
  • Take inheritance out of the top-level scoring systems it was too confusing. Only have inheritence for the field=value child systems.
  • Reimplement the scoring system stuff to be more efficient and safer.
  • Fix NewSeries max of 52 races; should be 250.
  • Fix setting column name from legacy series.
  • Change inital path to "My Documents".
  • Rearrange the results publishing options so that you can select the races to include in the summary as well as the race tables.

Version 1.82

  • Make it clear that you can type into the Flight list box in the AssignFlight tool.
  • Fix wind indexed checking error messages.
  • Allow blank wind strength in start when using wind indexing (just use default rating).
  • Add a "Points" column when publishing race tables and supress Series Nett/Total cols. This is a quick hack; needs refining.
  • Fix rank column when pubishing race tables.
  • Fix wind indexed ratings. Now show in series view and race tables.
  • Allow user to define colour of sort col 1, sort col 2 and selected row in Setup+GlobalOptions.
  • Highlight the whole of the selected row, while retaining visibility of the selected cell.
  • Update rating and wind rats in Edit+Competitor when class is changed even if there is a rating set already.
  • Fix wind rats not being set when setting a class in Edit+Competitor.
  • Fix exporting WRT following column selection.

Version 1.81

  • Reset the 2nd sort order if left clicking on a column title.
  • Massive speedup after optimising expression evaluation.
  • Fix the memory leak.
  • Update the export UI to be generic and allow a titles row to be exported first so that it is symmetric with importing.
  • Expose CrewId,HelmId and WindRats as columns. All competitor fields are columns now.
  • Change all UIs that select fields to be generic; e.g. exporting, renaming columns, etc.
  • Add column rearranging infrastructure; this makes it very easy to add new columns that automatically get included in the import/export facilities etc.
  • Add Total points column as a test of the new infrastructure (<5mins).

Version 1.80

  • Fix the Yes/No message.
  • Fix placement of some of the fields when saving files.
  • Fix Grouping field disappearing for scoring systems. NB: there is no upgrade for this item. Please review the "Grouping" column when viewing the list of scoring systems and edit ones where the grouping field should be set but is missing. It will only be for the main grouping system, not the child field=value systems.
  • Change the IsAsserted predicate to leave log messages.

Version 1.79

  • Add start time, finish time and elapsed time to the help file reference section.
  • Add main frame to help file and enable F1 on it.
  • Add File+ImportRaceResults window to the help file and enable F1 for it.
  • Fix right-click menu on import race results mapping UI.
  • Fix right-click menu on import series summary mapping UI.
  • Add a "Laps" column capability to import race data. Press F1 in File+ImportRaceResults for help.
  • Populate Tally column when creating a new series so the grid is not all blank; causes mass confusion.
  • Make the property bar bigger when creating a new series.

Version 1.78

  • Fix deleting scoring systems.
  • Fix problems whereby alias links were lost on import from another series.
  • After adding a new race N populate it's starts from race N-1. Ditto published date and first start time.
  • Don't read FTP filename from ini file; it's too easy to zap existing files on teh website.
  • Fix various tooltips.

Version 1.77

  • Improve the way that the rating drop list is populated in Edit+Competitor.
  • Fix hiding unused fields in Edit+Competitor.
  • Improve sorting race columns across *all* the possible cell views. Honoured when publishing.
  • Let * mean all races. For example when publishing race tables and when copying starts.
  • Tweak view cells menu to use BCR and BCE nomenclature.
  • Make the cells views more consistent.
  • Fix the calulcation of BCE and BCR in the context of A6b codes without an elapsed time.
  • Don't check wind indexes in races if the rating system is set to None.
  • Fix drop down class list having duplicates and fix all-lower-case entries.
  • Change the property bar to show all the scoring systems but only show non-inherited stuff for everything other than the series defaults.
  • Change the default scoring system concept to a scoring system named "Series defaults" that the other systems inherit from. This is to stop some confusion. You can't score using "series defaults" - they are simply there to inherit from.
  • When upgrading an old series and creating scoring systems, add a "Score everybody as one group" scoring system rather than a "My Appendix A", because the latter can be implied to be a inter-series value. Change existing "My Appendix A" named scoring systems as well.
  • Go back to treating places like elapsed times, i.e. rank the ones we have and assign points to the rank rather than assigning points to the actual recorded place. This automatically handles disqualification holes as per A6a but it means that A6b codes (e.g. RDG) must (if she finished the race) have an elapsed time or place or start/finish time associated with them so that the rank of the other boats is not affected. This helps greatly when scoring a placed race by group. It also means that essentially there is no difference to a placed, elapsed or start/finish race; the results are collected, sorted and points assigned to the sort position.

Version 1.76

  • Fix the "implementation problem" message popping up inappropriately.

Version 1.75

  • Fix the warning that incorrectly said that no competitors were in race N when scoring groups separately.
  • Generalise copying starts to allow a selection of races; e.g. "1, 3, 7-8, 19".
  • When copying starts always completely replace the destination.
  • Fix busy cursor not resetting sometimes.
  • Rewrite the Tools+RearrangePlaces to to be easier to use. Closing gaps after DSQ for example is essentially a 'run tool and click OK' operation.
  • Fix warning not clearing when opening a new series or swapping between series within the Sailwave desktop.
  • Fix getting a recommended number of laps for SailNo wiz and Edit+Result.
  • Speed up main view when viewing start names and start times.
  • If the main view is sorted by a race column, honour that sort order when publishing race tables. This allows you to publish race tables sorted by elapsed time for example.
  • Remember rearranged group order when publishing.

Version 1.74

  • Fix warning mechanism.

Version 1.73

  • Show the start expression in the Edit+Race list and remove some of the less used fields. Need to turn this into a tree.
  • Use the warn mechanism to make sure that each included competitor is in a start for each sailed race.
  • Use the warn mechanism to check for starts defined such that no competitors are in them.
  • Use the warn mechsnism to check for competitors in more than one series.
  • Add a warn-when-scoring mechanism. Warnings do not stop the series scoring but they give you a clue that the results may not be what you expected. Click the warning for more info. Warnings are cleared when the series is scored again if the problem has been resolved.
  • Don't change view on return from AssignFlights and AssignRatings if Cancel is pressed.
  • Show which scoring system values are inherited from when editing a scoring system.
  • Add Elapsed view to the main grid.
  • Auto add a start for "All competitors" to any race that does not have any.

Version 1.72

  • Tool to set race rating for race N based on results from previous races(s) etc. Effectively a personal handicap tool. Very early days; much evolution needed.
  • Allow the ISAF Sailor URL to be resplaced with a customised URL. See Setup+SeriesOptions+Competitor tab and Edit+Competitor+ISAFSailor tab.
  • More scoring performance tweaks.
  • Increase the accuracy of the BCR/BCE calculations.
  • Add capability to specify FTP port when publishing directly to a server.
  • Change -Ewin to BCE (Back Calculated Elapsed).
  • Change Rwin to BCR (Back Calculated Rating).

Version 1.71

  • Fix scoring bug whereby some corrected times were not getting calculated.
  • Performance enhancements. Scoring is about 5-10 times faster depending on context.
  • Move codes back into scoring systems for greater flexibility.

Version 1.70

  • When viewing starts in the table cells, prefix with '++' if the competitor is in more than one start (and show one of the starts by name).
  • Add F6 key as shortcut to the "show result cells as" menu.
  • Update scoring algorithms (etc) to make use of race flights as appropriate. Sailwave can now score a App LE Addendum C quals/finals-type series.
  • Improve Edit+Result Flight and Rating tabs. You can use Edit+Result to manually adjust any flights assigned by the light assignment tool.
  • Add a "Equal groups" seeding method and flight assignment method. Useful for initial flight assignments (in race 1) and finals flight assignments.
  • Add a race flight (re)assignment tool. Use this for App LE Addendum C race flight assignments. Use the View menu and select ShowResultsCellsAs+RaceSpecificFlights to review the assignments and/or further edit by hand if necessary.
  • Move the more tool-like windows from the edit menu to the Tools menu.
  • Show race specific values when the race specific buttons are pressing in Edit+Competitor

Version 1.69

  • Allow user into Edit+Result for aliases competitors and allow race-specific flight/rating to be set (etc).
  • Fix aliased scoring.
  • Fix DNQ ordering now that scored groups can have their own points system.
  • Add item to View menu to toggle discard formatting on/off.
  • Add a discard formatting capability in Setup+SeriesProperties. e.g. (1), [1], *1 etc. User specifies prefix and suffix and whether or not to strike through.
  • Remember last tab in Edit+Code.
  • Improve scoring code format copy/set cabilities. Copy to all codes, copy to one code, set from one code.
  • Remember last tab in Edit+Result.
  • Improve views of race specific ratings and race specific flights in the main cells. X == there is a race speciifc value. *X == using race specific value from previous race. (X) == no race specific value, using default from competitor.
  • Add more infrastructure leading to flight rotations. NB. race specific ratings and race specific flights are comparable; both can be associated with a strategy to change value on a race to race basis.
  • Add buttons to flight and rating fields in Edit+Competitor to show race specific values. This is also a discoverable clue that race-specific values can be set. By hand now, but via a PH strategy or flight rotation strategy soon.
  • Update the code names in a scoring system if they are renamed in the repertoire. Ditto results.

Version 1.68

  • Add page break option when publishing separate tables. (Probably needs extending to include header info with each page?)
  • Fix F11 being shown twice on the sail no tool menu.

Version 1.67

  • Allow a scoring system to override scoring code methods.

Version 1.66

  • Add ability to open rating file folder in a 'My Computer' window so that the files can be reviewed/edited.
  • Add option to scoring system to auto load competitor ratings from the rating files prior to scoring. This allows scoring systems to specify different rating systems with minimum fuss thereafter; i.e. just score using each scoring system and publish. You will get an error message if the rating files do not contain the required values. The competitor/rating-file classe match is *not* case-sensitive.
  • Fix problem whereby un upgraded series had to be rescored before it could be published using separate tables etc.

Version 1.65

  • Make the .blw files readable with Notepad!
  • Fix start buffer overflow when there are about 10 starts.

  • Make all-tooltips window (F2) resizeable.

Version 1.63

  • Make F2 show all the tooltips in a window (a tool tip is the text shown when hovering the mouse over a control in a window). Note that the main frame and series windows do not have any tooltips. This is useful when trying to read long tips. If a locale is in effect the tips shown are in the translated language.
  • Make copy start buttons retain existing starts.
  • Dont disable the copy start buttons when the spin counters are at 0.
  • Include flight column when exporting.
  • Fix bug that deletes races when importing competitors from CSV file.

  • Add help menu item to go to Sailwave user group web site.
  • Add help menu item to go to ISAF RRS web site.
  • When scoring, always compensate for 'holes' in places. This means that you can record places 1 to 100 (say) then change two to BFG (say) and not have to rearrange recorded places. Sailwave does this by treating recorded places in the same way as it would elapsed times as per RRS A3.
  • Add an option to Edit+ScoringSystem to score multiple firsts, seconds etc when scoring across multiple starts (i.e. flight scoring). This replaces the need to select the 'None' TieBreak option when scoring flights; use this instead; Sailwave will auto setlect this option on upgrade if you've previously been scoring flights using the TieBreak option. Note that as a side effect of this you can record finishes as elapsed times or start/finish times and still score as flights (allowing multiple firsts, seconds etc).
  • Add the ability to control the font size in entry fields, spin boxes and drop down lists via Tools+GlobalOptiions. Useful for clearing up Windows XP ClearType if necessary.
  • Add DGM to default code list.

Version 1.61

  • Make relative paths in the publishing destination window be relative to the folder that the opened series is in.

  • Allow competitor entry from sail no wizard if sail no is not known.
  • Allow SailNo wizard to ignore alphabetic chars in sail numbers.
  • Add Edit+Race facility to Sailno wizard - so you can define the start time conveniently.
  • Add default 'finishes' (elapsed/place etc) field to Edit+ScoringSystem - use as backstop when no starts defined.
  • Add ability to define starts in Edit+Race. Edit+Result and the Sailno wizard use this data to guess the next place or start-time.
  • Add Tools+Seed field tool - can be used to seed flights for example at the start of an event.
  • Sound a ping when the sailno is unique in the sailno wizard.
  • Add Flight column to publishing and main table view.
