### 1.2.0 — 2026-03-23

# Release Notes - Version 1.2.0

## New Features and Improvements
- **Optimized Substitution Management:**
  - Added the total number of rotations/subs under each player, displayed as a "pill" badge.
  - Added a real-time "current time" stopwatch to track exactly how many minutes a player has spent on the Bench or on the Pitch.
  - Automated list sorting: The top-priority substitute to bring on is always listed first. The starter due to come off is also positioned first.
  - Dynamic "Priority Badges" (1, 2, 3...) in orange or blue are now displayed directly on player avatars for faster, at-a-glance decision-making.
- **Audio Reliability and iOS Alarm:** - The alarm is now audible even if the phone's physical mute switch is set to "Silent."
  - Complete sound engine rewrite: When the app is in the foreground, a new ultra-reliable native WebAudio oscillator triggers the alarm, bypassing complex Safari iOS "Mute" bugs. 
  - **Background Mode:** If the screen is locked, the OS (iOS or Android) handles the timer to ensure a loud 15-second alarm reaches the coach, even from inside a pocket.
- **Version Display:** The exact build number is now visible at the bottom of the app’s home screen.

## Bug Fixes
- **Active Timer Bug (`+`):** Fixed a critical issue where using the `+` or `-` buttons would trigger dozens of simultaneous "ghost" OS alarms.
- **STOP Control:** The STOP button now instantly and cleanly cuts the audio track without any freezing.
