Public changelog for tc.emperorshammer.org.

This changelog is provided for members to view recent site changes, but is not exhaustive with regard to non-user facing changes. Refer to the repository commit log and pull requests for additional notes.

The dates generally indicate the date work was submitted via pull request, and do not necessarily reflect when they were approved and pushed to the production server.

2025-03-09

Fixed

  • A recent API change changed PINs from numbers to strings - updated the relevant Pyrite component to handle that. (FA Pickled Yoda)

2025-02-22

Added

  • Subordinate unit roster management: as an alternative to existing roster management permission, added ability to definite positions an assigned character is able to manage within their own unit hierarchy. Addresses #34 and #318. (HA Turtle Jerrar)
  • Added the concept of 'Enhanced Competitions' - competitions with scoring logic and configurable parameters; implemented Imperial Storm as the first Enhanced Competition. (FA Pickled Yoda)

2025-02-16

Added

  • Award Processing: Ability for approvers to edit award recommendations. This is intended to increase efficiency when processing awards, so that approvers can elect to make minor corrections instead of returning the award to the submitter for correction. #795 (HA Turtle Jerrar)

Fixed

  • Enable editing of existing fiction items created as text/markdown. #808 (HA Turtle Jerrar)

2025-02-14

Added

  • TAC: battles containing a plotline.txt will display it next to the readme. #868 (FA Pickled Yoda)
  • TAC: battles can be linked to their remastered version in the TAC admin and it will display on the download page. #869 (FA Pickled Yoda)
  • Fix pagination on View Promotion Requests page. issues-incoming-queue#246 (HA Turtle Jerrar)

2025-02-08

Changed/Added

  • Display PvE matches submitted for combat events on the combat event match results page (formerly only showed PvP); improve match results section slightly; show linked combat event on MP match processing review page; show linked combat event on MP match report page. issues-incoming-queue#240 (HA Turtle Jerrar)

2025-02-11

Added

  • Member records: Displays new rank history information on the Historic tab. The history shows dates that the rank was first achieved; due to lateral transfers from flag (Admiralty) positions back to line unit assignments (or vice-versa), a member's rank history can be non-linear. For routine promotions since February 2022 (when we started storing more data), also shows the promotion recommendation information as a drop-down for each rank achieved. These recommendations will not appear for direct rank appointments. Suggested by CM Therj'en'nuruodo in issues-incoming-queue#244 (HA Turtle Jerrar)

2025-02-09

Updated

  • MP match submission: increase size of kills field (up to 5 digits, max value of 65000). issues-incoming-queue#237 (HA Turtle Jerrar)

2025-02-08

Added

  • Data Quality: Bulk restore medal records from archived database records. This brings in ~39k historical medals for members who currently have no records in the database, i.e. those where a manual profile restoration has not been performed. We're also populating join dates, dates of rank, and callsigns where this data is currently blank for historical members. Member ratings are recomputed as necessary for the new data. (HA Turtle Jerrar)

2025-02-02

Added

  • TAC: updating a battle will refresh its files on the server so the displayed README is current. (FA Pickled Yoda)

Changed

  • TAC: Updated pyrite libraries to improve pilot file viewer behaviour. (FA Pickled Yoda)

  • Implemented full support for the Imperial University:

After the transition of the Imperial University records over to the new site at the end of June, our team has completed the
process of making needed adjustments to the courses. Between both manual and automated editing, we have corrected several
thousand “content glitches” in the course notes and exams, including problems with encoding and other junk characters, missing
images, problematic formatting, incorrect Course Administrative Data, etc. The purpose was to address the most significant
problems impacting the ability to view notes and take exams. (This was not a deep-dive into content, which will be gradually
updated as necessary by the TO.)

This release also implemented support for automated scoring. Members taking the TIE Corps Core (TCCORE) course will now receive
immediate results for their exam. The results screen will provide members with their score, as well as a list of the questions
they did not correctly answer. Note that by design they will not be provided the correct answer; the intent is that they re-review
the relevant course notes to identify and understand the correct answer for themselves.

Other courses may support automated scoring in the future.

Please report any technical problems encountered while viewing notes or taking exams on the IO issues tracker,
located at https://github.com/emperorshammer/issues-incoming-queue. You may also report concerns regarding content
at this location as well. Content-related issues will be handed over to the new TO once the position has been filled.
Kindly keep technical and content-related reports segregated into individual issues to facilitate these lanes of responsibility.

Thanks to FA Pickled Yoda and CM Sylas Pitt for their assistance reviewing and fixing materials.
