• the exports using the dataExchange templates now use a 999 as the marker for the super heavy category.

66.0.0: Configurable timing

• For large school-age competitions, creating a local/timing/timing.properties as in this example allows changing the durations of the one minute and two minute intervals to have the lifts proceed faster.
• The values of the warnings times are also propagated to owlcms-tracker so they can be used (e.g. to change timer colours)

66.0.0: Clean-up of the solo referee/announcer/3-referee behavior wrt reversal delay and initial decision

• Solo referee decisions have a reversal delay, same as 3 referees. Only the visual rendering changes (single referee light instead of 3)
  • in solo referee mode, the first decision received from any referee is automatically the majority
  • an indicator is propagated to modulate display
• Announcer input of a decision has no reversal delay because it usually follows flags or some incident
  • no INITIAL_DECISION event is therefore sent
  • unless the announcerTriggersInitialDecision feature toggle is sent (for example, to always have good/bad lift videos on a listener)

66.0.0: showDecisionsImmediately feature toggle (off by default, TCRR still indicates a 3-second delay)

• Show the decision as soon as the 3 referees have given it. Note: this always sends INITIAL_DECISION

66.0.0: Fix: The Jury scoreboard again has the current attempt info.

66.0.0: Fix: when producing competition results by registration category, the lot number was being used as identifier for the athlete, leading to problems if no lot numbers had been assigned (all were 0, collapsing to a single athlete)

66.0.0: Fix: the noInterimScoresInResults toggle was not systematically applied on the competition results page

• the individual session pages still show the current session in-progress scores as they may be required to plan for awards

66.0.0: Fix: updating the websocket event forwarding URL did not correctly reset the forwarder

66.0.0: Fix: It was no longer possible to export only the best provisional records
