Changelog

v1.3.0

Added:

Added a new permissions system that gives you more control over what users can do with the Server Manager:
- On the Accounts pages, you can create groups and give each group different permissions.
- Each account can then be assigned one of these groups - you can assign multiple accounts to a group.
- There are three groups that are permanent:
  1. "No Access" group - this group has no permissions
  2. "Public" group - this group has all 'read' style permissions, but you can edit this. This group is used by any not logged-in user (if 'Public Access' is enabled)
  3. "Admin" group - this group has all permissions. The admin account has this group.
- We've migrated the old permissions system to this new system, so right now you don't need to do anything. You can edit the groups to suit your needs.
Added a new API endpoint to view Championship standings. You can learn more about this API endpoint in the Web API documentation.
Added support for the Scheduled Full Course Yellow option.
Improved the UI for adding Championship points - it is now possible to specify points for more than 64 places in a Championship.
The "Ignore X Worst Events" option is now applied to Team points, where the worst X events for each driver in the team will also be ignored towards the team points total.
Improved the "Remember Me" functionality in Server Manager. You can choose whether login sessions remember browsers that you log in with, and delete logged in sessions from your account settings.
Added a new config.yml option - session_name_prefix that allows you to specify a prefix for HTTP session names. This is useful if you are running multiple Server Manager instances on the same domain.
Added the ability to export and import Presets.
Added a new option to the config.yml to disable Server Manager's monitoring. You can learn more about this by looking at the config.yml that is provided in the Server Manager update.

Fixed:

Fixed an issue with the "Start Next Practice On Event Complete" option that could result in Championship sessions being stopped before being completed.
Fixed an issue where AI drivers could become duplicated in Championship standings. For existing Championships with this issue please re-import the results to each event to fix it after updating.
The Manager will now attempt to rebuild incomplete session results based on events in the session, this should result in more "incomplete" session results being shown in the Manager results.
Fixed an issue where Championship events may have mislabelled podium places in some rare circumstances.

Removed:

Removed the session_store_path setting from the config.yml. Sessions are no longer stored on the filesystem. If you need separate stores, look into using the new session_name_prefix config.yml option (above).

v1.2.17

Added:

Multiclass Championships now show an "Overall Standings" tab, ranking drivers by their points total regardless of class.
Added Expected Number of AI to Preset forms, which will show the expected number of AI in the session based on the current settings.
Updated descriptions for Weather Progression options to indicate that setting them to 0 will set weather progression to "Sync to Race".
Added Advance button to the Current Event card which calls the HTTP API advance function of the server, moving to the next session or if used during a race restarting the session. Please note that this functionality can be disabled if the default HTTP API settings are modified.
Added an option to select the default tab displayed to users when loading a Championship page.

Fixed:

Drivers that are disqualified from Championship events will no longer receive any points for the event they have been disqualified from.
Fixed an issue when encoding server names that contain special characters.
Control Game Setup will now be forcibly enabled if Server Controls Vehicle/Class/Track is enabled.
Fixed an issue that prevented the previously running Preset from automatically restarting on Manager restart.
Fixed an issue that would occasionally result in "Unknown Car" being shown in results files.

Fixed an issue where the Server Logs output could freeze on some platforms.

v1.2.15

Added:

Added improved handling of Server Logs:
- Server Logs now display in the Logs page immediately, rather than being delayed until a several log messages have been sent. Please note that this feature requires a minimum OS of Windows 10 (build 1809 or newer, or Windows Server equivalent). If these requirements are not met, the previous logging method will be used.
- Server Logs are now highlighted in a similar way to the manager logs - errors show up in red, debug messages in grey, and warning messages in orange.
Added support for the new Automobilista 2 session option "Auto Advance Session", which will automatically advance between sessions in an event (after a timer) if enabled.
You can now add more than three multiclass slots in event presets, the number of slots is also automatically read instead of needing to be configured manually.
It is now possible to specify a Max Players count that is larger than the event Grid Size. Max Players may now be up to 2 slots extra above the track grid size, to allow broadcasters and race directors to join.

Fixed:

Made the system that auto-restarts events after the Manager is forcibly stopped more reliable by accounting for a few rare cases.
