RaceApp.eu eSports Management - Release Notes

Here are the release notes for the newest 2006 (June) Update!

- Event Password control: It has an update button so you do not need to refresh the whole page anymore. But this is only a fallback scenario because there is also an auto sync. Literally in the same second when the event manager enters a new passwort all of the drivers get notified (incl. a little shake animation). Keep me updated if this works flawlessly!


- Event password distribution: For driver swaps all teaming drivers are now permitted to see the password. Password distribution logic was also enhanced to support the scenarios with event confirmation On and Off. If you have it Off, all series registered drivers can see it. Having single event confirmation Off but guest signup On is also supported. Description texts in the series settings have been enhanced to document it more clearly.

- iCAL calendar sync for all events of a community: It is separated for every simulation of the upcoming events. Never miss an event from your community anymore!

- Social media sharing: Until recently plattforms showed only a standard image and a standard text if you shared RaceApp links to them. Now there is a logic for series and events to extract your individual input. The app uses the first .jpg or .png image you used on the series info tab. (fb, twitter, discord)


- The text editor for the series info now supports an image browser also featuring an upload directly to the RaceApp storage.

- Driver Email notifications: Get a notification when there is an upcoming event and you have not confirmed/cancelled your event participation yet. Find the settings in your new driver settings page. Further notification types can be added upon request.


- Events with multiple runs: Navigation has been improved to jump between the event pages of the single runs. The shown event name is a calculation of the running number within the series.




There are also some bugfixes:
(ACC) with driverswaps: theoretical best laps were missing
Other Sim: Calculation of team score in the event scoring editor was buggy
Driver Tag Scoretables: Penalty points were not applied correctly
Self Service registration was moved to the top of the screen in order to be better visible for new users
(ACC) Entrylist did not contain the car numbers
Series Settings: dropdown for class selection closed without action on any keypress
(rF2) Pole position calculation failed if not all drives participated in qualifying
(ACC) Session type R1 added

 

Update 2007 is online now!

With this update we introduce a new way for you to support RaceApp. Thousands of drivers worldwide use RaceApp completely free of charge and get monthly updates and personal support on top - how could that possibly work? It's simple: I dropped all the plans for a community subscription model and instead I just ask for a small, voluntarily, monthly donation of all users! That means RaceApp will stay completely free for everyone.

If you support RaceApp you get 'Boosters', which allow you to support the community of your choice. As soon as a community reaches a total boosted value of 10 Euro all premium features get unlocked. This means you do not only support RaceApp but also your beloved community and give back some thank you to the guys who make all of this possible. Here are the details: https://raceapp.eu/Help?tab=pricing

Another aspect of this update is a brand new translation tool. So if you are interested to have RaceApp in another language (French, Spanish, Italian or whatsoever) get in contact and I enable you access to the online editor. It is quite some work because of the massive content we already have, but if we distribute that among the community it should be doable quite well.

One last thing: As we are waiting for the new ACC GT4 content to be released I have already added the cars which are known to our database. Of course there are no liveries yet, but you can already use them in the booking system.

All the best and stay safe, Chris

 

@kevin.maatman Not sure if you are the right contact for my request: Could you move this thread into the ACC Tools section?
