Version 18.40 - October 2018

New Features
COM ports Modified the way we look for and list available COM ports. In some cases, this will show ports that are not 100% registered with Windows  as per the requirements.  We still recommend the FTDI chip set if possible.  Such devices are well known, offer excellent performance and support the new Windows OS's.  

Enhancements
Pax Time Report If the Print Pax with Total option was selected the Raw time was evident for pax classes.  With this release the Pax Time + Raw Time is shown if this option is ON.
Live Streaming The Streaming Reset and Catch up features have been tuned to better handle instances where Live Timing was turned OFF then ON and when events are re-loaded and Live Streaming restarted.  Prior to this a auto-clear may have been executed when Live Streaming and thus cleared prior streamed data.  A quick fix for this issue was to force a Streaming Reset and then accept the last row of the staging grid. This forced all rows to be pushed automatically. With v18.40+ this is no longer necessary.
COM Crash If you have Thresholds set for false triggering detection and NOT using T-LINKS, v18.x could potentially control a COM crash and force you to exit the application.

Version 18.20 - April 2018

New Features
Raw Time Standings
for Pax Classes.		 To allow classes to be managed like Pax Classes but standings based on raw times (like an open class), set the pax Factor for the Pax Class = 1.000.  Any other factor will force the Pax Class to have standings based on factored times respectively.

For Heat Assignments any Pax classes (and their entries) can be made to run with their base classes. 

Bug Fixes
Superclasses
  • When an Base class is used as an open class and a 2nd definition is used for a SuperClass, the Heat assignments did not function properly. The affected class was thrown into Pax Spanning Class by default which was incorrect. 
  • Fixed Heat Cache issues with superclasses in extended conditions (same as above). The side affects was checks when comparing classes could return incorrect results (headings in some reports were affected0.
Communication Buffering Fixed a condition that appeared to spit out numerous times in a super fast sequence. This was a result of a data buffer issue in extremely rare conditions.
Pax Report Pax Time report place the Pax time into the Total Time field due to a oversight introduced in v18.10 (Pax Time with Total). Work around was to create a new Pax Template to remove the Total Time and replace it with the Raw Time.
Pax and Raw time reports Differential and From 1st have been fixed. They were reporting differentials from the class standings.

 

Version 18.10 - Jan 2018

Live Timing Streaming New features have been added to Live Timing mostly in the Live Timing Streaming services area. All event types are now support including:
  • Normal autocross events
  • Live Streaming offers extended run and driver information providing standings, raw, pax, history and driver based views (all in real-time).

  • Both AXWare ORM and AXWareLiveRPI both support all events types.
AXWare ORM In support of AXWareTS and AXWareProTS, AXWare ORM has received many enhancements that support the Live Streaming processes
  • AXWare ORM offers single simplified link that takes you to any Live Event, be it streamed or based on Live Reports Reports.
  • Hosting plans are offered for clubs not using AXWare ORM for their online registration needs.
  • AXWare ORM is by far the easiest way to provide Live Timing in all it's flavors, enter authentication information, press the Live Results button and GO! 
  • Access to Live results:
    • Press the Live Button for a club on the Calendar
    • Press the GO LIVE button from the Club Center/Results page...you can't miss it!  It's Big and Bold.

Enhancements
Pax Time with Total
  • It a Print template for the Pax or Raw time report contains the 'Total' column, and Print Pax with Total = ON, the Pax Time will print along with the Total. 
  • For Pax report - this will print the Pax time + the Raw time.  (format: pax time / raw time).
  • For Raw report - this will print Raw Time + Pax Time. (format: raw time / pax time).
  • By default: the Total column in the Final reports will print the respective time format for non-pax classes, as well as pax classes.
Best Pax Time Announcer Window - Added Best Pax Time data to the history.
Row Height
Registration
Staging Grids		 In order to provide more flexibility when selecting different Fonts, the row height is can be adjusted to compensate for fonts that are fairly large or tall. Pick a font, and adjust the row height as necessary.

To adjust the height, position your mouse between the left side heading (row column) on any row in the grid and drag it up or down to change the row height.

Bug Fixes
Re-Classing
  • In extreme cases, a process state could be left in-completed and result in a busy state for other actions. The program could appear busy for extreme lengths of time.
  • Using Re-Class from inside Insert/Edit Reg Entry - could fail...the source entry was not correctly selected.
Class Header in Reports Extra class heading could have been printed in HTML reports if the class break occurred at the page size (number of lines per page - which should have been ignored).
Announcer Window If the Run History was set to the max (20 entries), a crash or hang could occur regardless of whether or not the announcer window was active.  The Announcer Manager keeps a real-time account of entries and in this case it inadvertently caused a data error.
Networking In the Synchronization stage, the HTML Style sheet was accidentally set to the Announcer Style sheet.
