Patch notes

What we have shipped lately

A catch-up post for everyone who has been playing while we kept building. This is the friendly backlog of recent work, not every commit. LATEST • Season rollover after a champion, season modes (standard / tournament), and best-of series. • New draft formats (linear, random, auction, salary) plus draft-when-you-play. Live draft still needs room testing. • Cleaner commissioner home, setup resume, mock draft, live stream links on games. • Chemistry chart values are fixed. • Stat tables are easier to sort (including character library batting, pitching, and fielding views). • Team page tools: build and save batting order and fielding on My Team. • Game pages show more detail: fielding outs and fielding lineups, plus the line-score momentum sparkline. • Computer / offline Rio games can be saved and attributed to league slots. They never enter human lifetime stats. HOME BASE • A real dashboard after login, including a hub when you are not in a league yet. • News, About, and this patch board so updates are not buried in Discord only. • Account pages that separate lifetime stats from upload history more clearly. • Optional Rio username on signup and account, with a gentle nudge if it is missing. LEAGUES AND SEASONS • Stronger season admin controls, including pinned season status when you need it. • Schedule backfill improvements for catching up old games (including partial matches and manual override). • Safer league delete and commissioner management. • Claim-a-team flow for reserved usernames. • Members-only award voting and end-of-season awards pages. • Playoff series polish so only real game slots ask for action. • Private league visibility with a commissioner toggle. • Commissioners can attribute recent / incoming uploads (including computer games) to schedule slots. STATS AND UPLOADS • Line scores built from the game file, with a momentum sparkline under the innings. • Fixes when home and away look swapped in the raw file. • Superstars on / off split on character stats (those modes play very differently). • Hammer Bro name matching fix for Rio files (Bro(H) in the game file). • Better lifetime batch uploads for large batches. Offline / CPU files save as computer games instead of polluting career lines. • Manual paste upload and lifetime batch upload remain the supported ways to get games in. SOCIAL AND ALERTS • Friends, follows, and a notification bell with broader coverage. • Per-league Discord webhooks with toggles for games, trades, forfeits, scores, and Inky articles. Phase 1 is live; smoother setup and test posts come after season rollover. • YouTube embeds with a commissioner privacy toggle (public vs members only). • Friend activity on the dashboard. DRAFT, COMPARE, AND FUN EXTRAS • Live snake draft with pick clock and related draft tooling. • Character compare expanded up to six players. • Tier list ballots visible on user profiles. • Inky game and series drafts where a league has Inky turned on (commissioner still publishes). KNOWN ROUGH EDGES • Live drafting and the new draft formats still need real room testing before you trust them for a whole season. • Auto-upload (Dugout Link) is admin-only testing, not general use. Use manual paste or lifetime batch upload for now. • Discord webhooks work, but we have not finished the polish pass yet. Thanks for playing and for the bug reports. Keep them coming.
