SlotForge Paddock v1.2.1

Smoother result imports, quieter connected-car updates and safer save retries.

Improvements

  • Background race-result processing. Timing uploads are parsed, validated, calculated and saved in a worker so the main app can keep responding. Checking a delivered result reads only that session.
  • Refresh only affected cars. Renaming a fitted part or changing an installation refreshes the relevant cars. Spare-stock quantities, locations and unused parts no longer trigger a full catalogue refresh. Large stock imports also leave unrelated result caches alone.
  • Durable save receipts. Personal-database saves retain an identity and result atomically with their changes. Retrying the same save after a lost acknowledgement cannot duplicate stock installations or history. Restore generations and conflicting retries are checked explicitly.
  • Safer background work. Bounded queues, timeout/crash recovery, lazy photo transport and compressed bulk-operation receipts protect responsiveness and existing editing workflows.

Timing, Telemetry and Dealership Mode retain their existing APIs, credentials, captured configurations and review behavior. No companion-app update or new connection setting is required.

Performance

In a local synthetic 10,000-lap test, the longest main-thread timer gap fell from approximately 564 ms to 19 ms. Total processing time was similar: the improvement is responsiveness while results are processed. Results vary by computer and collection.

Updating and downloads

Close Paddock before replacing the app and retain a current backup of your collection. Existing SQLite data continues to work; there is no new storage-format migration.

  • Windows: SlotForge.Paddock.1.2.1.exe — portable app.
  • Linux x64/ARM64: AppImage and Debian packages are available; both native build/test jobs passed.
  • macOS: skipped for this release because the GitHub macOS runner remained queued. No macOS installer was produced.
  • Timing, Telemetry and scalable API handoff ZIPs, plus SHA-256 checksums.

Windows is unsigned. SHA-256 checksums are included for the Windows and Linux downloads.

Validation

  • 670 Paddock regression tests, 122 Timing integration tests and 23 Telemetry client/interoperability tests passed.
  • 210 Electron desktop checks passed with zero captured renderer errors.
  • Packaged Windows workers passed result processing, receipt replay after restart, corrections, withdrawals and exact backup restoration checks.
  • A real worker-exit test verifies that a save committed before its acknowledgement is not repeated when retried.

Testing used artificial collections and local servers. Native build outcomes are shown in GitHub Actions; these checks do not replace installation testing or a new test across two physical computers.
