Sharly Chess 2.6 released

It’s official: Papi-web has changed its name and is now called Sharly Chess!

The main highlights of version 2.6 are as follows:

• A very significant performance improvement - you’ll be surprised at speed increase across the entire application (at least 10 times faster!), with testing done on events involving several hundred players (up to 1,800 players across 16 tournaments).
• A new website — https://sharly-chess.com — where you can explore the features through documentation.designed to make using Sharly Chess simple and intuitive, in both French and English (the more technical documentation is still available on the project’s GitHub repository).
• A new “Pairings” tab to handle all pairing operations (manual pairings, round-robins, and double round-robins), with the exception of Swiss pairings.
• Display Controllers, for arbiters who wish to manage public screens directly from the Sharly Chess server.
• A simplified main menu, for improved ergonomics.

Swiss pairing is already implemented in the application, based on the bbpPairings engine, but it is not available natively in version 2.6. If you’re interested in testing this feature before its public release, feel free to join our beta testers on Discord!

We’d love to have your feedback on Discord, by mail (support@sharly-chess.com) or via the GitHub project!
