## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.19 — 2026-10-23

- Game details, "רענון פרטי משחק מהאתר": re-reads a started game's page on the federation site (score, lineups, goals, cards, crew) and shows what changed.
- Game details, "צילום מסמך למשחק": scans document pages, asks for the document type (same list as the WhatsApp bot) and uploads it for the federation site.
- Game details, "מסמכי המשחק": lists the game's documents, from the app or the bot, with their upload status. Tap one to view it; swipe left to delete one that hasn't been uploaded to the site yet.
- Assignment dashboard:
  - the selected season shows in a header you tap to switch;
  - a loading overlay appears while switching;
  - numbers above 999 have commas;
  - observers (מבקר) no longer count toward a full crew;
  - football seasons with corrupt game dates load again.
- Admin API tab: call and error counts have commas.
- Push receipts: they report whether CarPlay or car audio was connected.

### 1.18 — 2026-10-20

My Games
- Approve or decline pending assignments: swipe right to approve, left to decline (with confirmation), or use the buttons in the game details. Pending future games show "ממתין לאישורך".
- Last scrape time: when RefereeX last read your IFA page is pinned at the top of the list.
- Role filter fixed: it had disappeared whenever a season was selected. The same fix applies to the manual-game form.
- Finished games move to history.

Public games
- Faster loading: games appear without waiting for the filter lists.
- Name search in any word order: "יהונתן הוכמן" now finds "הוכמן יהונתן".

Notifications
- Notification channels: choose push, WhatsApp, Telegram or email for each notification type.
- Cleaner push titles: no WhatsApp * marks, and words separated properly.
- Delivery receipts: the app reports each push it receives, which helps diagnose missing notifications.
- On CarPlay: all referee notifications show there.

Driving and battery
- Much lower battery use: before a game, the app no longer runs GPS for hours. It uses cell-tower location and turns GPS on only briefly to confirm you're driving.
- Waze prompt: the "on your way, open Waze" prompt needs CarPlay or sustained driving speed, so it no longer fires falsely at home.

CarPlay
- Game details lay out right-to-left.
- The app is Hebrew-only, so CarPlay screens follow Hebrew layout.

Reviews
- Encrypted review grades: only your own device can read them.
- Display fixes: older grades, team order and derby games now show correctly.

Admin, tenant admin and assigner
- Assignment analysis dashboard, as in your screenshots:
  - league tabs;
  - summary cards: fully assigned games, active referees, teams;
  - an imbalance warning;
  - per-referee bars and team breakdown;
  - search, filters and sorting;
  - Excel export.
- API tab in the admin panel: daily counts of external API calls (Google maps and routes, Brevo email), with errors.

Other
- Reliability: fixes for early logouts, commute reminders and new-game sends.
- Field information: field location updates, and the field section always shows.

### 1.17 — 2026-10-08

• Open to everyone – anyone can now sign in. Non-referees get the public games and tables, fields, and a profile where they can edit their name
• Team & club calendars – subscribe to any team's or club's games from the public games calendar button, a game's long-press menu, or a standings row
• Calendar for any filter – the calendar button follows every filter you've set
• Multi-select filters – pick several categories, leagues, clubs, teams, referees and fields at once
• Nearby games – long-press a game to see every game within 5 km on the same day
• Favorite color – choose the app's main color; it also applies to the Live Activity, Apple Watch app and complications
• Faster, smoother free-text search in public games
• Public league tables are showing standings again
• Accurate kickoff times for cup games
• Fixed a false "approval failed" notification after approving a game twice
• For organizations that don't publish referees (handball), the referee and role filters are hidden

### 1.16 — 2026-10-03

CarPlay
• RefereeX notifications now appear on the car screen (turn on "Show in CarPlay" in notification settings)
• Time-to-leave reminders show in CarPlay with a "Navigate to field" button
• New CarPlay game details screen: time, field, league, your role and crew, with navigation and a call to the main referee
• Tapping a notification on the car screen opens that game's details

Public Games
• Games are grouped by day, with the date header pinned while you scroll
• Date strip for jumping quickly between days
• Compact list layout: teams, field, date & time
• Share or copy the game list in the layout you're viewing
• Smoother, faster scrolling

Notifications
• Tapping a game notification opens the game's details; navigation starts from the "Navigate with Waze" button

Apple Watch
• The watch complication updates as soon as a game is added or changed, without opening the watch app

Calendar
• Games are no longer written to your default calendar (e.g. Gmail): they go to the calendar chosen in your profile, or to a dedicated "RefereeX" calendar
• Games previously added to another calendar are moved to the right one automatically

General
• The "Games" tab is now called "My Games", in CarPlay too

### 1.15 — 2026-09-27

- Update field location from the app or CarPlay when you're near it around game time — refreshes the Waze link everyone else sees.
- New Live Activity / Dynamic Island settings in Profile: master on/off, plus separate toggles for the countdown and next-game info. Turning the countdown off narrows that side to just the app icon — fixes it crowding the status-bar clock.
- Settings screen removed — Face ID lock and preferred navigation app moved into Profile.
- New Share action on games, fields, and referees — sends a maps link in the recipient's preferred navigation app.
- Referee phone/address now shown in game details (tap to call); kept out of the public games view for privacy.
- Fixed a Carpool crash (removing a car after adding a second one) and a driver-picker selection bug.
- Fixed Face ID occasionally failing instantly when switching tabs quickly.
- Fixed CarPlay music playback not reflecting on the car's own Now Playing screen.
- Fixed manual game creation always dropping a co-referee's role.
- CarPlay: score next to game title, plus its own "update field location" action.
- Watch app: shows the final score alongside a completed game.
- Fixed a bug that could show the same game twice in CarPlay/Games tab.
- Portal-link icon next to games that have one.
