Caused players in main room to see wrong players. - Fixed bug where in tournaments, main room would list table as playing games with 20/0 timers, instead of 1/5 or whatever the tournament specified. - Fixed bug looking up games from speed tournaments using links on tournament pages. - Upgraded mysql jdbc library to latest version. - Order completed tournaments on tournaments page by completion date. - Fixed NPE bug with main room table display and JDK1.5.

Changelog - 2.31.8.2
Posted:
May 23, 2005, 6:38 PM
Release 2.31.8.2 - 5/23/2005 - Improved responsiveness of system I hope by creating copy of database for game history searches. If you've played in a speed tournament lately you might have noticed that sometimes it takes a long time to store the game and update the tournament results. This happens because of the way mysql locks tables, when someone does a slow games history search it actually locks up the system temporarily (no games can be stored in db). I've actually also noticed other times when the game server is unresponsive for quite a few seconds, I believe it traces back to this issue as well.
So the solution I'm using is to maintain a complete read-only copy of the database for use by game history searches. That way you can still get real-time search results (or nearly real-time, there may be a few second delay), and the game server should be way more responsive.
[Update 5/24/2005] Mysql replication was not configured quite correctly so the games history stopped showing games played after yesterday morning. That has been fixed now.

Release 2.31.9.0 - 5/25/2005 - Improved Invite Player functionality: --- You can now specify a message to send to an invitee. --- The invitee sees additional info, such as game name, table, rated, timer, your message, your rating. --- The invitee can decline with a message, you will see that message in the chat window of the table. --- Pulled the invite computer stuff out into a separate dialog, so you now have to click "Play Computer" to invite a computer opponent.

Uhoh, that's not good. It calls some javascript that opens up a new window. I didn't think a popup blocker would stop this (since you are clicking a link to make it happen).

A development idea

The messaging feature is really cool. Thanks for that. One thing, would it be possible to keep a list of sent messages....so when I am sending out tournament updates I know who I already sent them to?
Also, does the message player link send an email to the person? or is it just a message here on the server?

Keeping sent messages is certainly possible. I don't really want to implement a full email client though
Right now it does NOT send out the message via email, but I do plan on adding an option to allow messages you receive at your DSG message box to be sent to your email address. I could also add an option to have it send a copy to the SENDER's email address. That way you could keep a copy of messages you sent in whatever email program you use now.
