The ChipReader app for Android did not work on 64 bit Android. There was a bug with different data formatting between the 32 bit (which worked also on 64 bit smartphones) and 64 bit versions. This has now been fixed. This update is now available in the Google Play Store. If your smartphone will not find it automatically, then just search for SportSoftware. Click on it to install.
OE12 published
Now it becomes true! OE12 is available!
OE12 had already been delivered “silently” to new OE customers since December 2020 with version 12.0. Now that we got back a quite normal situation with organising O events, it can be published in the new version 12.1. I used the time to implement feedbacks from V.12.0, as well as to implement exiting new features, see below.
The SportSoftware V12 has a new reengineered framework and a new modernized user interface (UI). Nevertheless, SportSoftware users of previous versions will get accustomed to the new UI very quickly, since all user functions can be found in similar places.
The most important functional improvements of the SportSoftware V.12.1 are
- The support of up to 192 controls per chip or course
- The new ChipReader apps which allow to read chips at smartphones or Windows PCs and transfer them to OE12 (soon also OS12 and OEScore) by a wireless connection
Read more details on the ChipReader page. - The automatic detection and setup of chip devices
- Live Results on multiple screens
- Support of multiple monitors with different resolutions
Watch the slide show at the top to get an impression how the SportSoftware V12 looks like!
Read more details on the OE12 page. Click on the Downloads button and download the OE12 V.12.1 setup or the PDF handbook as a first step! Just try it! As usual, the download works as trial version as long as you don’t have a valid OE12 license.
Updates can be ordered through the Online shop or from the author directly.
OEScore V12 update
New functions
With the Live results you can provide the results on big monitors in the finish area which will be updated continuously. You can customize the user interface by selecting your preferred font for the application.
New features
In these Corona times the start list organisation by time blocks became more important. I got valuable hints from some users, which I implemented here. The XML entries import supports importing teams now. When working on the coming OE12 V12, I found more small improvements which have been naturally “inherited” by OEScore. Enjoy them!
Bug fixes
As usual, bugs reported by the users have been fixed. Two major bugs should be mentioned. On certain installations Read chips could not be invoked and the demo events could not be restored from within OEScore. The latter bug already stems from V11 times…
OEScore will detect this update automatically. You can also use the Check for updates function in OEScore 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 OEScore V12 license. Updates or new licenses can be ordered through the Online shop or from the author directly.
