Version 2.5 released

Version 2.5 brings the following new features:

  • Complete interface overhaul
  • Multi-language support (FR and EN)
  • Player management tab: manual addition, deletion, creation from the FIDE and FFE player databases, update from the FIDE and FFE player databases, tournament changes, player history management, bye allocation
  • Print management: pairings by board, pairings by alphabetical order, rankings, crosstables
  • New screens for displaying rankings and crosstables
  • More details are available online on the project’s GitHub repository.

:warning: In this 2.5 release, the tie-breaks computed are the same as those computed by Papi to insure that the rankings displayed on the FFE website are the same as the ones produced by Papi-web; tie-break calculations that comply with FIDE guidelines are already implemented but will only be available in a future version. It is still necessary to rely on Papi for pairings (this will no longer be the case in a future version).

The last few months have been particularly intense for the project; you will appreciate the incredible progress made in version 2.5.

These developments will continue in the coming weeks and months:

  • Integration of the latest unimplemented Papi features
  • Integration of a pairing engine
  • Discontinuation of the Access format
  • Additional features
  • We will also begin the process of getting Sharly Chess endorsed by the FIDE, to make it a tool that can be used by all federations.

More details on the project roadmap.

We hope you enjoy this new version and look forward to your feedback to continue improving the application.
