RunScore Client/Server Latest Revisions
Note: Revisions are in
RSServerUpdate.exe and RSClientUpdate.exe
Version 7.0.1.0 Level 2008.07.28, RunScore client/Server
- At request of Bill Teschek and
encouragement from Bob Teschek and Steven
Keith there is now a way to do team scoring
based on Age and Gender grading. This is invoked with the
new command Team Score Agegrade.
Version 7.0.0.35 Level 2008.07.24
- At urging of Brad Pickle, extend the BY
command to total fields when combined with the
"Total (tab) field name" command. This is handy
when totaling the points made by a team if the points are
in a database field. This can handle both integer and
floating point numbers.
Version 7.0.0.33 Level 2008.07.23
- Denika Voget, Winning Time USA, provided
us with examples of the new Winning Time active chip
format which includes times to 0.01 seconds instead of to
just 0.1 seconds. RunScore now handles both formats.
Version 7.0.0.31 Level 2008.07.21
- The command Female Adjustment has been
removed. It should not be used since there is not one
adjustment factor that works across all ages. This was
used with the 1994 and earlier age-grading tables. In
those tables the female times were adjusted from the male
times by a multiplying factor. The present tables were
derived separately for male and female runners. If you
want to score males and females together by age-grading,
use the Age Grade Percent command and be
sure to follow with a Sort Down command
so that the results are sorted starting with the best
age-graded performance.
- The main screen has always had information our e-mail
address (support@runscore.com)
and how to reach our web site (www.runscore.com).
Those text items are now "clickable" to take
you to e-mail or to the web site respectively. Thanks to David
Fox who found the information on finding and
invoking the default browser.
Version 7.0.0.30 Level 2008.07.20
- Keith Stone and others have asked for a
way to move the contents of one field to another. He
wanted a way to put a person's first name into a nick
name field but only if that field is blank. This can now
be done with the Select Value command.
The Select Value can be used both in an *.lst file and in
an entries.ini file.
- Keith Stone suggested that RSServer
display the port and address that it is
"listening" on for new connections. This is now
displayed on the main screen. This helps if one is on a
LAN but not if you are trying to connect over the
Internet, that is a Wide Area Net (WAN). Typically on a
WAN, you will have a router/firewall which hides your IP
address from the world. You must find out what your
outside address is using a website such as www.myipaddr.com or
through use of the interface to your router/firewall. You
must also open up the particular port you are using so
that the outside client can find RSServer.
Version 7.0.0.28 Level 2008.07.18
- Bill Schauder asked that the cursor
remain in the same field after an unsuccessful search in
Enter/Edit Names. Some people like it returning to the
first field. So now, when you get the "Not
found" message, there is an additional message:
"Continue searching." You can respond with
"Y" if you want to continue searching or
"N" if you want to return to the first field.
- Fixed a problem pointed out by Jon Krupa.
In certain situations, when using Remove Duplicates, one
of a pair of duplicates appears in the browser but not
the entry that is its duplicate.
Version 7.0.0.26 Level 2008.07.13
- Combine Events was not working with Age grade. Fixed.
Version 7.0.0.24 Level 2008.07.10
- John Snitko reported that Live Results
sometimes ends up with blank entries. Discovered that
this can happen if people are added to the database while
Live Results is running. Fixed.
Version 7.0.0.23 Level 2008.07.10
- Jim Oaks reported that a recent change
kept the Master Menu buttons from responding to
single-key commands until one of them is clicked on with
the mouse.
Version 7.0.0.20 Level 2008.07.08
- At request of Mike Moore, allow longer
path names in Preferences edit boxes for path to save
entries and results.
- Mike Moore pointed out that if you
import bib numbers into an event and "Not found
added" is turned on, the bib number is not added to
the database as it was with RSW. Fixed in RSServer and
RSClient.
- With lots of help from Steven Keith,
fixed a bug that can cause a crash if you save a file
from the client that was an extension of ".Lst"
instead of ".lst".
Version 7.0.0.16 Level 2008.07.06
- At request of John Snitko, made changes
to AMB to support rounds (laps). Not yet tested. Need AMB
user to test.
- Bill Schauder reported that when you do
an update (F4) on the client, the cursor jumps to the
first field instead of staying in the same field as it
does on RSW and RSServer. Fixed.
- Bill Schauder reported that Shift-Down
did not move bib down numbers in a Results screen. In DOS
RunScore you used Shift-Up/Down to move bibs. In Windows
RunScore this was changed to Alt-Up/Down but the
Shift-Up/Down retained but apparently did not work
correctly. The Shift-Up/Down have been removed.
- Liz Steinweg reported that the Announce
screen always came up maximized in RSServer which it
didn't in RSW or RSClient. Made some changes and added a
new command "Full Screen" that
you can add to Announce and Chip
Check that will force it to full screen..
- Bill Schauder pointed out that if you
use the ".prompt" command in a header, it did
not work on RSClient. Fixed.
Version 7.0.0.11 Level 2008.07.03
- Add new feature to Live Results. In addition to showing
the most recent finishers, can, on another Live Results
screen, show the first finishers.
Version 7.0.0.10 Level 2008.07.02
- Fixed a problem Anne Gault found with
loading ChronoTrack files.
- Added "guntime" support for ChronoTrack.
Produces a file for each event called
<event>.guntime.ini.
Version 7.0.0.7 Level 2008.07.01
- An error has been fixed concerning the client checking to
see if has the most recent help file. The effect was that
it always fetched the file from the server even when it
was not necessary.
Version 7.0.0.6 Level 2008.06.28
- Liz Steinweg found that if the
RSServer.exe or RSClient.exe files were changed in case,
e.g. "rsserver.exe", it could not find some
other files such as the help file. Fixed.
- Sylvan Symth found that if he tried to
compute the USATF (U.S. Triathlon Federation) age for a
year in the future, it did not compute right. This only
happens if your date format uses a two-digit year. Fixed.
- A change was made to the ChronoTrack code to allow
reading of the different formats. Reported by Ken
Wong and Steven Keith.
- A problem with selecting an entry from the drop-down box
while doing Database Search in Enter/Edit Names was
fixed. The wrong entry was often selected.
Version 7.0.0.3 Level 2008.06.26
- The fix to the Database View/Search problem in the
7.0.0.1 version was not done correctly. This has been
fixed.
Version 7.0.0.2 Level 2008.06.26
- At request of Brad Pickle, the TOTAL
command has been extended. If the TOTAL command
identifies a field, that field's contents are totaled
without printing out the individual values that went into
that total.
- When RSClient starts up, it checks to see if its copy of
the help file is up-to-date. If not, it fetches the
latest from RSServer.
Version 7.0.0.1 Level 2008.06.24
- If you opened Enter/Edit Names while the listings screen
is open, it would open at the unregistered runner number
entrant instead of at a new record. Fixed
- Anne Gault pointed out that in
Enter/Edit Names when using the Database View/Search
(drop-down box) that the names in RSW were sorted but in
RSS and RSC they were in database order. Fixed.
- Rick Freedman didn't like the fact that
there was no more "progress" banner when he ran
a listing. This has been reinstated on both the client
and the server. However, the client has no information on
intermediate steps as the processing continues so its
banner just lists the name of the file being processed.
Version 7.0.0.0 Level 2008.06.21
- First official release!
- Fixed bug when connecting with a client which has a very
long IP address.
- Fixed problem pointed out by John Snitko that caused a
problem with PLUS command. This bug was introduced in
6.9.43.1 when NOT command was added.
Version 6.9.43.1 Level 2008.06.15
- Add new command NOT for producing a listing of those who
finish one event but did not finish another. Useful in a
chip race for listing those who were recorded by the
backup mats but not by the primary mats. The command
could also be used in, say, a triathlon to find those who
finished the race but were not recorded at one of the
transitions.
Version 6.9.41.0 Level 2008.06.13
Version 6.9.40.0 Level 2008.06.05
- Improved ChronoTrack TCP/IP support.
- Improved the help screens including the Programming
Primer by Steven Keith.
