This is an exciting upgrade for those publishing to their own websites.

This new version now includes a fully integrated support for SFTP, SSH, and FTPS in addition to a new FTP uploader for uploading published results directly to your website.  This was previously only possible if your website or service supported FTP but many are no longer supporting FTP and require SFTP or SSH uploads.  This all now comes built into your favorite scoring program Sailwave.

Documentation is available here:-
https://www.sailwave.com/upload-of-published-results-ftp-sftp-ssh-ftps

In addition to the support for the secure protocols, there have been some other changes.  The Base URL window now works correctly as intended which may mean if you have been using FTP previously and left this blank you will need to insert “./” in this window.  If you have entered a directory path here and been entering it in front of the filename you will no longer need it in front of the filename.
The famous Error 0 no longer applies when you get an error uploading to your website, you should now get a more informative message such as authentication failure meaning your username or password is incorrect. Note an access error means you don’t have permissions.

This is a full install and also includes

• the changes in 2.28.14 (see Beta releases) plus
• Increase buffer size for the format of columns to allow larger HTML formating from 150 to 500 chars – This allows the creation of links on any column – see user group for detail
• Increase buffer size for Fleet name to 40 from 20 in Main competitor edit window
• Increase entry size for Venue and Event burgees from 100 to 255 chars to allow long URL’s to be used

Please report any issues and I will try to fix them

A new version of Sailwave which introduces some new features

• This is the first version non-beta to be digitally signed with a certificate.  Hopefully, it will reduce the number of false positives that are generated by anti-virus software.  You will at least be guaranteed that no one has tampered with the install file.
• This version is the first one non-beta published on the Sailwave site to be built with a new version of the compiler and this enables touch control to scroll the data around.  So if you have a touch-enabled device give it a go.
• RORC high point scoring is in Beta in this version.  The RORC factors are not implemented for RORC series as yet.
• This Version also has Iceboat support in Beta.
• The import from CSV has been reworked and expanded – see documentation on the Sailwave web site
• The install also contains updated versions of SWCList, ISAF (World Sailing) interface and the SWHelper for NHC scoring which now supports internal calculations when you are using PY numbers.
• You will also notice some cosmetic and font changes.
• There are improvements in the RYA PY returns and some bug fixes.
• New Rating files are included as are the additional information for the PY returns.
• Correction of DNE description.

This update is supplied as a full install containing the Sailwave.exe version 2.28.1.    You need to download from the link below and run the installer.  If you have any issues installing please try running the installer as administrator by right-clicking the sw2_28_1.exe file and selecting run as administrator.

Huw has tested the installer under Linux without any problems but points out if you are using Wine you should be using at least version 3.0.  If you want to run the World Sailing (ISAF) interface with Wine or on a Mac please ask for help or see instructions on the Sailwave User Group.

• Publishing using Results V2 will auto size the header images and improve the balance of the results appearance.  More details on the Sailwave User Group.

New Version includes some new features and enhancements so definitely worth upgrading.  2.25.4 has been available in Beta and I’ve had no negative feedback so I’m happy to release it as the new Standard Version.   For full details of changes since the version you are using please look at the release notes for the Beta versions.

This update is supplied as a full install containing the Sailwave.exe version 2.25.4.    You need to download from the link below and run the installer.

Some features all users will notice are:-

• A new feature is a Search/Filter box to the ribbon so that it is possible to selectively display competitors and easily find competitors should you wish to edit them.   As you type in the Search/ Filter box only competitors that match what has been typed are displayed.  This is updated live rather like a Google search.  Clear the box to ensure all competitors are displayed.
  Any full or partial match in Fleet, Flight, Class, Division, Boat, HelmName, CrewName, SailNo, AltSailNo, Club will cause the competitor to be displayed
  

• The Tools – Set competitor field and Tools – Seed competitor field now use the name you supplied for renaming the columns.  Previously if you renamed a column you had to remember and use the default field name.  This is now all handled by the Sailwave software for you.

Changes

Version 2.24.0 is a relatively small but  important update on 2.23.4

Changes since the previous release (2.23.4) includes the following:-

• Support for Percentage penalty to be added based on DNF score (as well as the previous method based on number of boats in the series)  This was changed in RRS 2017-2020.
  If you are using SCP and or ZFP in your results you should change the scoring codes to use the  new DNF based calculations if you are scoring to RRS2017-2020.  In most calculations it doesn’t make any difference but there are some where it makes 1 point difference due to the rounding.
• Support for PRP (Post Race Penalty – Arbitration) as used by Techno293 Fleet
  “The race score for a board that takes a Post-Race Penalty shall be the score she would have
  received without that penalty made worse by 30% of the score for DNF, rounded to the nearest
  whole number (0.5 rounded upwards), but not more than half of the difference between the
  board’s score before applying the penalty and the score for DNF.”
• Updated the plug-in interface to World Sailing for reporting results directly to World Sailing (ISAF)
• Corrected Black flag  rule to reference 30.4 instead of 30.3
