4.33.0-alpha02
Changes for release 4.33.0-alpha02
Changes in 4.33.0
- 4.33.0-alpha02: Made SMF behave the same as Sinclair in preparation for SMF-based team championships (allow comparison when no clean-and-jerk has been made yet). Fixed generated test data for team membership.
- 4.33.0-alpha01: Team Sinclair scoreboard now updates on every successful lift.
- 4.33.0-alpha00: Announcer can act as solo athlete-facing referee. A setting on the announcer screen (⚙) enables emitting down signal on decision so it is heard and shown on displays.
- 4.33.0-alpha00: Round-robin "fixed order" option for team competitions. If this option is selected in the Competition Non-Standard Rules, athletes lift according to their lot number on each round. The lot number can be preset at registration or drawn at random depending on competition rules.
- 4.33.0-alpha00: 24h time will now be used in the date-time picker when using English outside of the "traditional" English-speaking countries ("AU", "GB", "IN", "NZ", "PH", "US", "ZA"). On a laptop, the country is obtained from the operating system. If using English in the cloud, we recommend setting the
OWLCMS_LOCALE
environment variable toen_SE
in order to get English with consistent ISO date and 24h time formatting throughout the program. - 4.33.0-alpha00: Armenian translation
Highlights from recent stable releases
- On weigh-in or registration forms, if a change in category results, a confirmation is required (#499)
- Requested weight is now shown on attempt board (including loading chart) and on top of scoreboard during breaks (but hidden during ceremonies).
- Announcer is notified when weight on bar needs to change.
- Officials scheduling and registration templates:
- Registration import-export spreadsheet changed to add additional columns for Marshal2 and TechnicalController2. Added a report page in the export that shows the assignments for each official.
- The Start List document has an Officials tab that shows official assignments for each group according to the introduction order.
- New parameterized scoreboards. Colors can be changed in the
styles/colors.css
file (The default colors are the same as the previous defaults). See Customization for how to proceed. The scoreboards can be zoomed in or out using theCtrl+
andCtrl-
keys to accommodate more lines, or to make text bigger with smaller groups. - Improved management of ceremonies : see Breaks and Ceremonies procedures, and Result Documents for the medals spreadsheet.
- Jury console now supports summoning the referees either individually or all together. The jury console now allows direct reversal/confirmation of lifts (#435, #427)
- The Refereeing screen (typically used on phones or tablets) now displays notifications when a decision is expected or when the jury summons the referee.
- It is now possible to build affordable physical devices to receive instructions from owlcms (decision expected, jury calls referee) using MQTT. Software and circuit schematics are available at this location.
- Video Streaming: Support for Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) automated scene switching. Added documentation for all supported transitions.
- It is now possible to choose and override the Excel templates for competitions cards, the start list, the starting weight sheet, the results (protocol), and the final package (attempts, sinclair, robi, team results, etc.)
- It is now possible to Export and Import the database content (#449). This allows taking a snapshot of the database in the middle of a competition. It also allows bringing back a Heroku database for local use, and conversely, setting up a competition locally prior to loading on Heroku.
- Explicit support for participation to multiple age groups (#433)
- All resources in the local directory take precedence over the built-in ones (visual styles, templates, age group definitions, sounds, etc.)
- Implemented the rules to prevent athletes from moving down their requested weight illegally. Moving down is denied if the athlete should already have attempted that weight according to the official lifting order. The exact checks resulting from applying the TCRR to that situation are spelled out in the documentation. (#418)
- Violations of rules for timing of declarations (before initial 30 seconds), and for changes (before final warning) are now signaled as errors (#425, #426). Overriding is possible for officiating mistakes.
