v1.21.2 - Tournament is live

I've finished the final bits of this new tournament display system.

Full Changelog: v1.21.1...v1.21.2

v1.21.1 - New team details table

This is a quick release to push through a new table on team pages. For some events, it's useful to see a team's contact details so this change gives the option for events to publicly show team details instead of the standard overview.

Full Changelog: v1.21.0...v1.21.1

v1.21.0 - It's been how long?

It's been 90 commits and almost 3 months since dev changes have been brought to live. In this time, most of the changes are for production with a few tweaks that all users can now enjoy.

Public changes

• There's a new profile picture system that allows you to display a theme of an event or team of your choice (one that you have a relation to). There's some new text there to promote it which will be removed in a future update.
  
• We're also experimenting with moving some winning accolades to a trophy box to show them off
  
• Casters and production staff now have partners at the bottom of their match pages which show a count of who they've worked with.
  

Production changes

Most of these changes are internal or only beneficial to production staff. I still recommend production staff to use the latest commits (dev) to stay up to date.

• Finally added the first version of the solo overlay. This uses OBS cropping to have SLMN.GG graphics with a UI that doesn't overwrite data. It's great for people doing unofficial streams, and will be used in future for player streams. It has multiple modules - break, rosters, desk, ingame, maps, overview.
  

• Default CSS was updated to fit the Overwatch 2 UI.

• The match editor has had several improvements

  • Improved logic to avoid ghost maps being created
  • Altered match score saving to be on button press instead of instantly
  • Improved the map pool and map bans system so bans are hidden by default
    

• Auctions got some love

  • The auction server was rewritten to use the internal cache system, and is now easier to use for different events
  • A new web UI was created for captains to draft players much quicker and much more easily than using the older Discord system
    

• Some new tools were added across the site

  • Events have a new /streams sub-page that show all the teams and when they were last on stream (using the match.stream_code field)
    
  • There's a new visual bracket creator at /bracket-creator that can input and output the format we use for the brackets, along with connections
    

• The broadcast dashboard has had continual improvements

  • A new manual guests editor has been added - allowing producers without Airtable access a way to show desk guests.
  • More buttons were made reactive and will be disabled while the server is processing.
  • The display below casters on the desk scene has been added to the dashboard as well.
  • The predictions system has been split into two buttons - for entire match or individual maps.

• A new graphics system has been implemented to allow us to build custom schedules, brackets, images and more, all remotely and across every broadcast at once.
  

• A new animation system was added to the in-game overlay, so the teams slide in with the theme-transition system that's used elsewhere (such as generic overlays or roster scenes)

• Most graphics that use a "stage" (e.g. brackets or standings) have been updated to automatically pull from the live match's data. This helps graphics be usable without needing to change settings. A similar change has been made to in-game overlays when showing a team's match record

• Staff who have editor access to matches will now see an edit button on schedule pages to reduce the number of clicks it takes to get to the editor.

• There's a new re-auth option in the production navbox to help fix stale tokens and return you back to the same page.
  

• Bracket resolver has had some updates to skip over matches that are already complete, which will improve response time.

• Updated to handle the latest Airtable attachment changes - the image server now proxies and caches data from Airtable without passing hundreds of change events.

• Updated match thumbnails on the website to use the event logo as a placeholder more often.

• Fixed bugs across the site when they've been found.

Known issues

• The /teams page has a broken search function. This is because we were attempting to reduce the page's processing time and delegated event, team and theme loading to individual components. It'll need a bit of work to bring something back that's efficient, or wait for a global search system.

PRs:

• Update some CSS defaults for Overwatch 2 by @zusorio in #180
• Add a self serve overlay for public use by @slmnio in #109
• Add manual guests & dashboard editor by @slmnio in #182

Full Changelog: v1.20.3...v1.21.0

v1.20.3 - Minor bracket adjustments

This has a few adjustments to bracket things:

• Edited the bracket resolve button to show according to match editor permissions
• Updated the bracket resolver to work better with teams that are pre-set
• Fixed bracket connections overlapping on to match boxes
• Made a few changes to the auction system

Full Changelog: v1.20.2...v1.20.3

v1.20.2 - I love timezones

Minor changes. A small fix for readbility for the draft, and another fix to bump spacetime to avoid issues with daylights saving time.

Full Changelog: v1.20.1...v1.20.2

v1.20.1 - Fixing things I broke

This release changes a lot of the things I overlooked when implementing the image server changes last week, including some audio and video URLs, especially when they were processed by something instead of just displayed.

• Added an editor for the break title to the dashboard. More to come in this area
• Fixed a small bug on the standings page which broke it sometimes
• Fixed the image server changes on:
  • Metadata for news articles
  • Audio for the ad read overlay
  • Audio, images and videos for the maps overlay
  • Images on the branding overlay
  • Videos and images for the background overlay
• Added a match stats tab for players which adds up match and map score across teams and events
• Updated the desk overlay to pull the live guests from the match page if the broadcast has no guests (good for scheduling things in advance, and a workaround for not being able to set them from the dashboard)

Full Changelog: v1.20.0...v1.20.1
