## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.6.0 — 2026-08-24

What's new in this version:
- You can now choose the round length (9 or 18 holes) and the starting hole, and the choice is saved with the round.
- Match play: the state of the match now also appears above score entry, so you no longer have to switch tabs to see it.
- Match play rows show the full name, so players with the same surname are told apart.
- Finishing a round no longer gets stuck if the connection drops mid-save.
- The sign-in and registration screens have been redesigned, and an expired session now takes you straight to sign-in.
- The biometric app lock (Face ID / fingerprint) has been removed.

### 1.5.0 — 2026-08-11

What's new in this version:
- You can now link a Finnish Golf ID without eBirdie credentials: find yourself by name or membership number and confirm with a code sent to your email.
- New side game for group rounds, Match Play: every pair plays its own match, and the leaderboard shows the lead, handicap strokes and the hole-by-hole state.
- On a group round everyone now sees the host's entries without reopening the round.
- New setting for how statistics are entered: have them asked when you move to the next hole instead of on the scorecard. The app reminds you of missing statistics before you finish the round.
- The marker field suggests markers you have used before.
- In a Ryder Cup competition, tapping a match card opens the match's hole-by-hole scorecard.
