Release Flagpost v1.1.0 — Live updates, targeted announcements & more · tbcsec/Flagpost

The first feature release since going public — driven almost entirely by issues filed against the platform in its first days.

Highlights

Live updates across the site — a per-competition activity channel keeps dashboards, challenge cards, rosters, and analytics moving in real time, no refresh needed.
Expanded announcements — urgency levels (info / warning / critical), audience targeting to specific teams or users, bell notifications, and a refreshed banner + notification centre.
Public spectator insights — stat tiles, highlights, and a top-10 points-over-time timeline on the public scoreboard.
Judge-question analytics cards — least solved, most attempted, most tickets, most first bloods, at a glance.
Archived-competition retention — optional auto-delete after a configurable window (default 30 days), with structural protection for pre-existing archives.
Personal challenge scratchpad — solo competitors get the live CRDT notes pad that was previously team-only.
Richer scoreboard chart — per-bar labels and a detail tooltip on hover/focus.
Plus sortable/searchable/paginated tables platform-wide, themed scrollbars, and a round of bug fixes.

Upgrading from v1.0.0: two additive DB migrations run automatically on start (docker compose up); no manual steps, no breaking changes.
