65.0.0: Act as record repository :

• Enable a separate dedicated OWLCMS instance to keep and edit records
  • A new feature toggle "recordRepository" hides all the pages except records management
  • Default access is read-only, with capability to export selected records and the database
• Ability to import the provisional records from a meet to accept them, thereby creating a full history
• Round-trip updating - export a subset of the records, update the file, and reload after making corrections or approving provisional records
  • This does not delete records.
• Define the set active record set (inactive records are not exported or editable)
• Abiilty to export the database (including using the /competition/export backup from localhost or a machine in the backdoor list)

65.0.0: Added Sinclair 2028.

• The default remains the 2001-2004 values.
• You should NOT switch without analysis, as the coefficients change quite a bit.
• Note that Q-Points or GAMX are better alternatives, for a number of reasons.
