REMINDER

  • You should test all releases, with actual data, several days before a competition.
Introducing the Owlcms Control Panel
New and improved installation process for owlcms.

Previously, only Windows had a full installer. From now on all platforms use the same installation process: a "Control Panel" program is now available for Windows, macOS, RaspberryPi OS and Linux. It handles installations and updates, as well as starting/stopping owlcms.

See the Control Panel Installation Instructions and the user guide for the owlcms Control Panel.

From now on the release area only includes the owlcms files that are loaded by the control panel. The control panel has its own separate repository.

Maintenance Log

  • 55.1.3: Changes to Language and System Settings could not be saved due to a validation done on the wrong field
  • 55.1.3: When defining categories on the registration or SBDE spreadsheet, use ; or , as delimiter. Use of / is ambiguous and is no longer accepted.
  • 55.1.2: "Single Referee" now works for keypads
  • 55.1.0: Added a competition rule to use the 20kg rule for Masters athletes instead of the official 80%

New In This Release

  • New Installation Instructions and startup instructions using the owlcms Control Panel for updating, launching and stopping OWLCMS on a local computer.

  • Ability to set the duration of the clean & jerk break explicitly for a session, overriding the competition-wide rules.

    • A new Excel template variable ${session.cleanJerkBreakMinutes} can be used to show this to the announcer if you have a specific template for athlete introductions

  • Competition Rules: It is now possible to force the 20kg rule for Masters instead of the 80% rule.

  • Refereeing: Selecting "Single Referee" using the ⚙menu now works with keyboard shortcut keypads (USB, Bluetooth, Joystick).

    • Any of the 3 referees will work, but configuring the center referee makes most sense (3 = good lift, 4 = no lift). A single decision will trigger the down signal.

  • Simplified Video Setup

    • The default style for Video Streaming is now transparent
      With this change,

      • It is no longer necessary to crop the Current Athlete view
      • There is no need to add a green mask to have a floating scoreboard

      See the documentation on using OBS for examples of using the transparent style.

    • The style can be changed back to nogrid on the System Settings > Customization page to get the black background styles identical to the on-site scoreboards.

  • Templates: a new _FlatFile.xlsx template is available for Competition Results. It is meant for statistical analysis where headers for each category make reading the file difficult.

For other recent changes, see version 55 release notes and version 5 release notes
