Some basic improvements, which had been implemented in the last update of OE12, are available in OS12 V.12.1 now. I have implemented the Automatic print service into OS12, which is known from OE12. Every competitor can use his chip to get the split time sheet and /or various result reports of his class after the race.
Also some specific bugs in OS12 have been fixed.
OS12 will detect this update automatically. You can also use the Check for updates function in OS12 to download the new setup. Of course you could also click on the Downloads button to get it. As usual, the download works as trial version as long as you don’t have a valid OS12 V12 license. Updates or new licenses can be ordered from the author directly.
OE12 and OEScore updates
This time I spent much efforts into improvements of the handling of teams in OE12. Now you have two new event options for teams: Teams: Everybody has to punch and max. difference. So you can define that every team mate must carry his own chip and he must punch the whole course himself. Optionally you can define the maximum punch difference, within all team mates must have punched at the same control. F.ex. the Czechian team championships are processed in this way. There is also a new report called Team punches which lists all violations against the rule which is defined by these settings.
For the team event types, I added a new report layout called Teams Single line in all reports where it looks useful. This will give a better overview in start list and result reports with up to 3 members per team.
The import of team entries has been improved. Normally the names of the team mates are entered shortly before the competition. Now you can download them from the entry portal and import just the names and new team mates if they appear.
One other main topic was that several users complained about a slow download of the chips in the finish. Actually not the download through the master station but the calculation of the split time sheet in extended format was the bottleneck. In most cases the reason were wrong network settings which slowed down the performance. Nevertheless I was able to optimize the code for an up to 45% better performance on slow computers.
There are also some other small but helpful improvements. As usual, all known bugs have been fixed.
OEScore V.12.1 has been updated accordingly. Especially the new Team Single line report layouts have been added there also.

OEHeats update
OEHeats has been reviewed by the IOF and we found some useful improvements. I adapted some procedures for the handling of not classified competitors for the final start lists to how the IOF is understanding its rules.
Then the IOF has explicitly added the rule that for the Sprint and Forest qualification competitors of the same country have to be distributed equally among the heats. There is a special new option to achieve that. This option can also be used at other “normal” qualifications.
Also, medal winners of the last 3 WMOCs have to be distributed equally. There is an export available from IOF Eventor which can be imported.

ChipReader and PunchRecorder updates
The ChipReader for Android has been improved, so that you can use the app also in landscape format now. This is good for tablets. You can load this update from the Google Play Store.
In the Online Punch Recorder I have added a second server box. You can send the punches to the first receiver (which must always be active) and optionally to a second receiver. This works in the same way like the first one.
