Notes
4668
2023-11-08

4667
2023-11-01
  • FIX: Series Result Calculator was reporting missing Date of Birth information if it only needed Gender information, and vice versa.
4666
2023-10-30

4662
2023-10-18

4660
2023-10-18
  • FIX: Multi Discipline Score course checking was falling over if there was no start time.
4658
2023-10-17

4657
2023-10-12
  • IMPROVEMENT: Export Processable Results - For Relays export team and leg number
4655
2023-09-22
  • FIX: Relay with multiple members per lap (e.g. Peter Palmer) - then when listing all members on HTML results and print these now include all members not just the counting ones.
  • FIX: IOF XML 3.0 Course Data import with variant names - now if variant name includes the course family name then this now split out. Reused existing logic to do with making sure these family/variant names were used consistently when variants not allowed e.g. relays.
4652
2023-09-20
  • IMPROVEMENT: Read Radio Control removed the "(Serial)" and "(USB)" legends from the two speeds. Whilst they correctly referred to the default speeds for USB and Serial master stations it was misleading depending what device is attached.
4650
2023-09-19
  • FIX: Custom Fields - if removed a Custom Field when "Specified Values" was ticked the controls to do with entering the specified values did not get removed.
4649
2023-09-19
  • FIX: Online Results Maintenance - two related faults. After Overwriting a holding page the screen returned to the main list view not the view of the folder in question. Adding a new folder - putting a duplicate folder name in didn't fail validation instead just overwrote.

4643
2023-09-18
  • FIX: Changing a Course from Stages to not stages (e.g. Time) left some of the stages settings in place.
  • FIX: Combined Event Import Entries CSV and IOF XML - if no race numbers and no entry system IDs (SiEntries, Eventor) then now only uses Name to combine the entries across events. Very historic use of SI-Card or Membership IDs to combine now removed. SI-Card especially causing problems if different hire cards used.
4642
2023-09-18
  • FIX: Stage Journey Times now don't complain if using RDO stations for journey start or finish.
4640

  • IMPROVEMENT: Monitor Control (all versions) now shows any visible custom fields.
  • FIX: Combined Event start time calculator - when a course/class is having a block of starts relative to another course/class but the class is empty, then we now don't apply the "Gap" so you don't have double gaps in a chain of classes.
  • IMPROVEMENT: Single Stage Results and Print Single Stage Results - when stages can be done more than once and the "Runs to count" > 1 then these now both offer the choice of using the best single run, or the total of the runs to count.

  • IMPROVEMENT: SIAC battery status levels simplified.
4637
2023-09-15

4634
2023-09-12

  • FIX: Print Entries and Print Start List when pairs or larger teams are used, with either competitor specific SI-Card allocation or competitor specific bib numbers being used means that a row per competitor is printed. These rows had dissimilar width columns so didn't line up.
4632
2023-09-08
  • FIX: Series Result Calculator - extended checking Membership Type exists to all events in the series.
  • IMPROVEMENT: Membership Check Archive (single event version) - now has a class selector which defaults to all classes selected (to maintain existing behaviour).
  • IMPROVEMENT: Orienteering World Ranking events - removed the idea of the elite courses being selected automatically as they are now often called things like Open Women. Added Course/Class selector to WRE Results Export and WRE Start List Export. On Membership Check for IOF numbers you now need to use class selector to filter.
4631
2023-09-07
  • FIX: Membership Check Archive for Combined Event was crashing when going into edit Entry.
  • FIX: Series Result Calculator wasn't using the membership type to format the number for searching. So BMBO numbers in particular were often not always matching when they should.
  • FIX: Series Result Calculator wasn't checking Membership Type in the config was actually in the event.
  • IMPROVEMENT: Membership Check Series now uses the Membership Type from the config rather than offering a choice if there is more than one in the event.
4628
2023-09-07
  • FIX: Excel reading - a further attempt to get Time fields reading correctly under all circumstances.
4627
2023-09-07
  • FIX: Printout Station Reader to file was crashing.

  • FIX: IOF XML import when Event Start time comes from Eventor with UTC indicator.
  • FIX: Lap Section Settings wasn't displaying min lap time to event format.
4610
2023-07-25
  • FIX: Modify Course when Stage based and got result data was only recalculating the course, but some changes could have resulted in Event or Control Master changes so now a full event recalc is performed.

 

*** Release 4607 (database 310) - 25 Jul 2023 ***

Results for old events will need to be recalculated. Until you have recalculated the results for these old events you will not be able to view them. When you click on an event you will be prompted to recalculate the results. Instead of recalculating the results one event at a time you can select Recalculate Results on All Events from the Actions button at the top of the Event List screen. Depending on the number of events in your database and the processing speed of your computer this may take a while.

This version will not work on Windows XP.

*** Release 4062 (database 212) - 15 July 2021 ***

This version will not work on Windows XP.

Unfortunately, release 4049 contained an error to do with converting existing events. Results which previously had been non-finishers (disqualified in some way) were no longer showing as such. As part of the database structure update all existing events should have been flagged as needing recalculation, but this wasn’t done. This new release does this, but the downside is that any event that has been added or recalculated in the meantime will be flagged for recalculation even though it doesn’t need it. We unfortunately don’t have any clever way of distinguishing events that do and don’t need it. If you access any event in your database(s) it will immediately tell you that it needs a recalculation. Alternatively, you can recalculate the entire database in one go by selecting the “Action” from the top of the Event List screen, but this may take a long time depending on how many events you have. If you have an ongoing series you will need to recalculate all the events in the series for it to work correctly. We hope you accept our apologies for this error.

*** Release 4049 (database 211) - 7 July 2021 ***

This version will not work on Windows XP.

This is a major release with a large number of database patches

The release introduces the concept of Stage based courses (mainly for MTB Enduro and Downhill races). Multi-Run courses are automatically converted to Stage based courses when you view an existing event. Events that previously used Sub-Stage reporting should now use Stage based courses.

Having one method to define stage based courses will make the setup easier and remove the confusion about when you need to flag legs as excluded or not and where the stage name is added.

Sub-Stage Reporting has been renamed Activity Reporting and should continue to be used for Adventrue Races and for results such as King/Queen of the Mountains.

To avoid confusion with the word Stage we have renamed Multi-Stage Events to Combined Events with a Combined Event being made up of a number of Events rather than Stages.

The User Guide Help has had a major update to reflect the changes and is a very comprehensive document.  It also has multiple examples for setting up courses for MTB Enduro stage based events.

*** Release 3672 (database 130) - 12 December 2019 ***

This version will not work on Windows XP.

This version of SiTiming requires Microsoft .NET 4.5.2 Framework (or later) to run. On newer computers or if you keep up to date with Windows Updates this will already be installed. If you can start SiTiming then .NET 4.5.2 is installed!

Existing Customers Updating:

This version includes a database update. Once you have updated your database you need to Recalculate the Results for all events (Event List » Actions » Recalculate Results (not Punch Times) on All Events). This will take a while if you have a database with a lot of events in it.
