What is new in the newest release?

[LionHeart1]

It would be very useful if we got a short summary about the news. I realized that new releases came out several times a week, but no information about what is new in them or which bugs are repaired.

the new release has a picture from the old days (when people were not 6 feet apart), and if playing on some tablets, when finished with the keyboard the app does not properly reset

It's mostly just some bugfixes and changes that deal with the high volume. Nothing major.

OK, but I am curious which bugs would be fixed. I have a long list of them and as far as they still exist, I am obliged to use the flash version as TD, because it is almost impossible to manage a tourney with the new version(s).

There were some attempted fixes to in-app purchases on iOS, but it looks like there are still intermittent failures. And the "Restore Purchase" button was added, to allow you to recall a purchase.

I have not found it impossible with HTML5 on PC, although some things are rudimental, in particular the inability to select lists of nicknames from files or a common database and the lack of an audible signal for a director call.

What things am I missing by not using Flash?

 

Currently the only time I use Flash is as a player during registration, when I need to invite another registered pair to form a team for Swiss Pairs. I can't see how to do this in the HTML5 client - the list of pairs is visible but no apparent way to select and invite.

I direct with the HTML version and the key is to keep the list of tables on the screen, not in a pop-up window. You can do this by finding the tournament in the Running tournaments listing.

 

If you click on a tournament in the Pending list, not on the host's name, then you get the Register tab by default from which you can invite people or rent a robot. There is also access to the partnership desk.

I do this and it does work, although the list does not auto-update and tends to cover the Director Calls or the table if it is long.

Also it is not obvious which if any table I have selected, which can cause chat errors and an ambiguous error message if I am already at the table selected.

My biggest client-related gripe is that before the tournament starts I cannot see which registered nicknames are online or not - surely I should see the offline players in red, as I do once it is running.

I have no idea if these things were better in Flash.

If that was in reply to me, thanks, but that is not my problem.

In the specific case of a Swiss Teams Tournament, to form a team it is necessary to unite two pairs already registered.

This works in the Flash client but I can see no way to do it in the HTML client.

It shows me the list of "available" pairs to invite, but I cannot see how to select one, clicking had no effect.

There is no problem registering in a pair with the HTML client, or playing the actual tournament.
