WHAT’S NEW
Latest release
Continuous improvements shaped by real tournaments.
Read the full changelog
v5.21.0-rc.47
Update
August 19, 2026
Improved
- FIDE Mode across the Web tournament workflow — Pairing, TRF26 data, mandatory 2026 tie-break descriptors and published competition ranks now use one consistent, fail-closed contract.
- Team tournament support — Team pairing rules, team pairing numbers, requested byes, accelerations, TRF26 metadata and Team standings now follow the same controlled FIDE Mode workflow.
- Production design and live fixes preserved — The release was rebuilt from the actual production code before deployment, retaining the current visual design, registration fixes and public pages.
Fixed
- Tied ranks remain tied everywhere — Exact ties calculated by Gacrux are no longer converted back into ordinal positions by public pages, exports, APIs, notifications or Team views.
- International and national ratings stay separate — Local estimates such as the Italian 1399 value can no longer be published or exported as a FIDE rating.
- Public tournament links and pairing eligibility — Legacy public links are upgraded safely, private tournaments remain private, and PAB/requested-bye/forfeit states are handled consistently.
Validation
- Production-shaped verification completed — The exact Web release passed populated-database migration rehearsals, automated regressions, 5,000 Gacrux standings cases, 5,000 BBPairings equivalence cases and live individual/Team canaries with no detected regression.
- Recognition boundary — This release prepares ChessPairings for the FIDE TEC submission process; it is not yet FIDE approved or endorsed.
