Changelog

New features, fixes, and improvements — updated with every release.

Currently running: v03.15

v03.15Latest2026-07-05
Added
  • Add to calendar — a one-click .ics download for the tournament date on the public tournament page
  • Share button — native share sheet on mobile, copy-link fallback elsewhere
  • Find my board — search your name on the Pairings tab to jump straight to your board instead of scrolling the full list
  • Player search on the public Players tab
  • The venue/address on the public page now links to Google Maps
  • Registration deadline now shows urgency copy ("Registration closes in 2 days") when the deadline is close, instead of just a date
v03.142026-07-05
Added
  • Guided Setup for brand-new tournaments — the setup checklist now walks first-time TDs through Basics, Registration & Capacity, Sections, Payments, Player Communication, Public Page, and Final Pre-flight one stage at a time; experienced TDs (or anyone who's already filled in the basics) still see the familiar all-at-once checklist, and the choice is remembered per tournament
  • The Event Day Command Center's unpaid/not-checked-in/missing-federation-ID/bye-request counts are now expandable — click to see the actual player names, plus a one-click "Send reminder" for unpaid and not-checked-in players
  • "Export event-day sheet" — a one-click CSV (name, section, check-in, payment, board) for a printed backup on tournament day
  • A plain-language note next to the entry-fee field explaining that payments go directly to the organizer's own Stripe account, not to Torneo
Fixed
  • The registration status page now says "Payment received — the organizer must review your registration" instead of a generic pending-review message when payment succeeded but the tournament was at capacity for auto-approval
v03.132026-07-05
Fixed
  • Retrying a paid registration after the organizer connects Stripe (or fixes payment configuration) no longer gets blocked — previously a failed attempt left a stuck row that blocked the same email from ever registering again
  • The registration status page no longer generates a new Stripe payment link every time it's viewed or refreshed — the existing link is reused, and a fresh one is only created on demand when the player clicks Pay
  • Abandoned checkout cleanup now correctly finds and clears stale payment sessions for organizers using their own connected Stripe account
  • The checkout success page now accurately says "You are registered" when payment auto-approves a registration, instead of always saying approval is still pending; the player also now gets a confirmation email when this happens
v03.122026-07-05
Changed
  • Payments now settle directly to organizers, not Torneo — every tournament director and club manager connects their own Stripe account once (Club Settings → Payment Processing) before collecting entry fees or dues; every charge settles straight to that account with no platform fee
v03.112026-07-04
Added
  • Event Day panel — the tournament Overview tab now shows per-section registered/checked-in/paid/unpaid counts, plus tournament-wide counts for missing federation IDs, current-round bye requests, and the waitlist, once a tournament is in progress
  • Refund policy, check-in instructions, and a registration deadline — new tournament settings shown to registrants on the public tournament page and their registration status page; the setup checklist now flags a missing refund policy or check-in instructions and unconfigured payment processing on paid tournaments
Fixed
  • Sectioned tournaments' Rounds tab showed duplicate section headers and duplicate bye rows — could repeat the same bye many times over on one round when pairings arrived out of section order
  • "Generate Round" button only appeared above the round history, forcing a scroll to the top after entering results — added a matching button below the list
  • Pairing sheet printed with faint gray text instead of black, and the text was a size too small
  • Password strength requirements weren't checked until after submitting on registration, invite-accept, and profile password changes — now shown upfront and validated before submit
  • An assistant organizer could be invited with no permissions granted at all
v03.102026-07-01
Added
  • Registration form completeness — the public registration form now collects first/last name and date of birth, plus conditional parent/guardian contact fields for scholastic tournaments
  • Requested half-point byes — players can pre-declare a round they can't play when registering; the pairing engine sits them out for 0.5 points and re-derives the reactive bye for whoever's left
  • Pairing-software registration export — export a clean player list before rounds start (generic CSV, SwissSys, or WinTD format), filterable by section and payment status
  • Active sessions on your profile page — view all active logins with device/IP/last-used info and revoke any of them individually
  • Expanded tournament setup checklist and pairing warnings — more gaps are flagged before you generate pairings or open registration
Fixed
  • Bot verification (Turnstile) was silently blocked on login, register, and public registration in production due to a missing security policy allowance
v03.92026-06-30
Added
  • Rating verification badges on registrations — when a player self-registers with a FIDE or USCF ID, Torneo cross-checks it against the federation supplement and shows a Verified / Mismatch / Inactive / Unverified badge next to their rating in your registrations review panel
Fixed
  • About page incorrectly described the pairing engine as 'Dutch-system' and FIDE C.04.3 compliant — corrected to 'Swiss-style pairings' until formal certification is complete
v03.82026-06-28
Added
  • Contact Email field on tournaments — a public-facing email address for players to reach the TD; shown on the public tournament page
  • Additional Info field on tournaments — up to 250 characters of freeform notes (parking, dress code, etc.); shown on the public tournament page
  • FIDE Rated flag on tournaments — mark a tournament as FIDE-rated; badge displayed on the public page
  • Back navigation on the public tournament page — 'Torneo / All tournaments' breadcrumb in the page header links back to the tournament calendar
Fixed
  • Mobile header no longer crowds on small screens — Admin link is now icon-only on mobile, and a sign-out icon button is always visible in the top-right header
  • Admin panel breadcrumb ('/ Admin') is hidden on mobile to give the Torneo logo and wordmark full breathing room
v03.72026-06-26
Added
  • Location search on the tournament calendar — filter by city, state, or venue using the search bar
  • External tournament listings — admins can add non-Torneo tournaments to the public discovery calendar; external cards link directly to the tournament's own website
  • Password reset security email — you receive an automatic notification when your password is changed
Fixed
  • Logged-in users visiting public pages (/tournaments, /guide) no longer get forced to re-login when returning to the dashboard
  • Logo now loads correctly on all mobile browsers — was serving a 1.2 MB image at 32 px
  • Audit log resource column now shows human-readable names instead of raw IDs
  • Login page spacing — more breathing room between the password field and the sign-in button
  • Footer wraps cleanly on narrow screens
v03.62026-06-25
Added
  • Email verification — new accounts receive a 6-digit code by email; your account activates only after you enter it

  • Show / hide password toggle on all password fields (login, register, reset password)
  • Confirm password field on the register form to catch typos before submitting

  • Admin: send a password reset email to any user from the Users table
  • Admin: grant superadmin access to any user from the user Details panel
Fixed
  • Tournaments with sections no longer create an empty round when players are not assigned to sections — a clear error is shown instead
  • Rounds tab now shows an amber warning when active players are unassigned to sections, before you attempt to generate pairings
