This free software in return for a Sailwave logo linked to sailwave.com on your event or club website and a restriction that the Sailwave link in the results footer shall not be removed regardless of media or reformatting. This is a good example of a simple but effective event page and this is their club results page.
For a use as a portable app which can be used on a USB memory stick, please download version 2.9.7 below.
Note: If you are re-installing Sailwave, all files and folders in the install directory are removed prior to installation. Please make backups as needed. Under normal circumstances this is not necessary – you should never need to change or add files in the Sailwave install directory.
Changes
Changes since the previous release (2.19.4) includes the following:-
Fix an issue where average points are being calculated and the competitor has no place or time entered. Issue was a result of a fix in 2.19.1 for negative corrected time in PHRF. (Negative corrected times will be addressed in a later release)
Limit SCP to maximum of DNF for the case of percentage using biggest start in any race.
Enhancements to Effects (scripts) so that it is no longer necessary to load jQuery explicitly and dependencies can be auto loaded.
Help buttons on the Publish wizard for Styles and Effects which take you to the Sailwave website and the libraries.
Some cosmetic improvements – mostly noticeable under Window 10.
Please let me have any feedback and request so that we can continue to improve Sailwave jon@sailwave.com.
For changes since the previous full release (2.16.7) please see changes for 2.17.0, 2.17.1 and 2.18.1 in the download betas section. In addition to those, 2.19.4 includes the following:-
Double clicking a competitor field now additionally sets the focus to the field you double-clicked on, auto-selecting the appropriate tab.
Improvements to the Sailno wizard:-
Tick/untick the box “Don’t show competitors that already have a result” can now be changed at anytime – even while only a partial sailno is entered.
Enter * in the sailno and you can then enter a partial search for name or boat etc, and you can use the backspace to go back to the sailno field.
You can now import csv files that are read only.
Updated icons in some screens.
Publishing effects have been fixed and improved. Multiple effects are now supported. Colin has created and updated some effects which are included in the install. These include a social media effect which adds Facebook and Twitter icons to the results to allow them to be shared.

Drop down for result codes in sailno wizard has been increased in size
Bug fix for user defined templates – Duplicates were appearing when you used the same name for your user defined templates as the default. User defined templates with the same name over-ride the default.
Bug fix for the File Close which previously did not clear all variables resulting in duplicate data being added to the Sailwave file when it was saved and also the new file could inherit incorrect information such as Event email and Event web site.
Rewrite of routine to check for new updated versions available. Now uses http protocol in place of ftp which is now faster and more secure and now has a short timeout in the event of being blocked by Firewalls or other issues (Previously the timeout was 5 mins which could lead to thinking Sailwave had crashed).
Now doesn’t report there is a newer version if you are running a beta version if the latest full release is older than the one you are running.

Updated ratings and templates included in Install

Changes
The directory for the examples and the user folders(Styles Templates etc) are now in the “Common Documents” Directory Previously they were in the “Common AppData” directory. This is because in Windows 7 and Vista the Common AppData directory is a hidden directory and makes it confusing and difficult to use. So you will now find them at
C:\users\public\documents\Sailwave —– For Windows 7 and Vista
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Sailwave —– For XP
Installer look has changed to make it look a bit more modern and visually better.
