Release v2.8.0 — Motorsports, Per-Source Matching & Live Template Preview · Pharaoh-Labs/teamarr

✨ New Features

Motorsports support — F1, NASCAR, and IndyCar via ESPN, plus IMSA and WEC via TheSportsDB, with dedicated racing variables and racing-aware matching (#242) — thanks @tomwinterrose
Per-source matching types — each Source independently toggles Stream Name, Team, and EPG matching, with color-coded Sources badges
Stream stats caching & stat-based ordering — cache stream statistics, order channels by metric, and expand a channel's streams inline (#244) — thanks @sethwv
League-aware template sample data with live preview — per-shape sample identities (team / combat / racing) and a live-first preview that surfaces real data gaps instead of masking them (#252, #253) — thanks @sethwv
Template validation — frontend/backend validation parity with a new /templates/validate endpoint; flags unknown variables and conditions before they ship
Richer EPG description variables — recaps, headlines, leaders, and storylines pulled from ESPN summaries
Provider-call telemetry — per-run provider API-call counts surfaced in Generation History

ESPN event-status refreshes are coalesced within a generation run for fewer API calls (#254) — thanks @lpukatch
Custom leagues auto-subscribe on creation, with a "Not subscribed" warning guard (#240)

Channels for unsubscribed leagues are now cleaned up on the next run (no more wiping all channels)
Disabled-group cleanup is stream-level, so shared/consolidated channels survive when one contributing source is disabled
Discovered soccer leagues no longer cache as sport "unknown"
CDVR M3U→guide refresh is properly sequenced so the guide re-indexes
Fixed the WBC logo and broken preview league logos

Matching-type toggles and Sources badges, with clearer matching copy
In-app guidance for soccer Teams mode and the Default Team Filter
Stream-match popovers explaining how and why a stream matched (aliases, patterns, cache age, priority)
