v8.6.2

A rebuilt penalty box, Garmin connection improvements, refreshed event management pages on the web, and the REST API now live on production.

Devices

  • Technical officials: On iPhone, the Garmin connection indicator now correctly shows connected when your watch is paired and receiving messages. Previously it could show "Garmin paired, out of range" even while the watch was submitting normally.
  • The Garmin pairing dialog now shows in Czech, German, Spanish, and French.

Officiating

  • The race control clock now uses 12h or 24h format based on your language setting, rather than only the device's system preference.

Penalties

  • Technical officials: The penalty box screen has been redesigned.
  • Technical officials: An issue where the penalty type list could appear empty in the penalty box has been fixed.

Event setup

  • Technical delegates: The officials list editor and event import search dialog have each been redesigned with cleaner layouts; the officials editor also adds a direct option to copy the team from another race.
  • Race cards on the web event detail page have been redesigned with distance chips and individual action buttons; the user list is now shown as individual cards. An issue that could prevent action buttons from appearing due to a permission error has been fixed.

Organisation

  • Organisation admins: The Sport field no longer appears in the organisation editor — this is now configured by the RaceRanger team.
  • Organisation admins: The credit transaction history panel has been removed from the web portal.

Account

  • The special characters allowed during sign-up now exactly match what the server accepts, eliminating a category of passwords that passed the app's check but were rejected by the server.

API

  • Organisation admins: The REST API is now live on production. Organisation admins with valid API keys can connect their integrations to the production endpoint.
  • Organisation admins: Webhook deliveries no longer follow redirects — if your endpoint returns a 3xx response the delivery is treated as failed. Point your webhook URL directly at the receiving handler.
  • Organisation admins: Events created via the API now include a Demo Mode race and an invitation code, and idempotency keys are now scoped per API key rather than shared across keys in the same organisation.

Behind the scenes

  • Role and TO assignment lists load faster.
