    Version    1.4.2    Date: 25-9-2010    
    Requires:  Bridgemate II USB Server firmware version 1.3.1d
    New:
  • SCAN mode can find and work with sections from multiple servers.
  • When a Bridgemate takes over another Bridgemate, a message appears on the original Bridgemate that it has been removed from its table.
  • In the round information screen, seating information shown at the previous end-of-round screen can be retrieved again by pressing the BACK key.
  • Bridgemate responds to any key when blinking verification by East message is shown.
    Bugs fixed:
  • Sections are not properly displayed in SCAN mode when more than 63 sections are used.
  • Overview of results was not suppressed when the score was automatically accepted by the Bridgemate.
  • Scores resent from the SETUP menu could contain a "wrong direction" indication.

    Version    1.3.1    Date: 13-7-2010    
    Requires:  Bridgemate II USB Server firmware version 1.2.1d or 1.2.2d
    New:
  • Names display feature added.
  • Names are shown as soon as they are available in the server.
  • Bridgemate II display screen - auto Contrast feature added.
  • Travelers - including 'oiptional" lead card - can be shown.
  • Member number validation according to ACBL algorithm.
  • Recording (bids and play) feature added.

    Bug fixed:    Bridgemates could sometimes skip one round.

    Version    1.0.6    Date: 15-2-2010    
    Requires:  Bridgemate II Server firmware version 1.0.10d
    New:
  • Bridgemate can force another table to log off and take over its position when the other table has logged on as the wrong table number.
  • Data is locally stored in the Bridgemate II EEPROM and can be sent to the server using Score resend.
  • "Score resend" functionality added to TD Menu and Setup to resend scores to the server at any time.
  • The actual Section / Table number (of the data being transmitted) is displayed when using SETUP —› Info —› Resend (scores).
  • Bridgemate status stored during data entry.  Bridgemate will return to "saved-status point" after battery loss.
  • SCAN function automatically displays the current section when the game has only 1 section.  (Note: In a multi-section game, the one-section default may be encountered when a Bridgemate logs on too early - before the subsequent sections have been loaded into the server.)
  • Results can be erased from the current or any previous round using TD-Menu #3.  Note: With ACBLscore score corrections must be made at the Bridgemate before the score has been posted into ACBLscore.
  • "Scores" Function key remains during the full "end of round" screen.
  • After erasing a result (using TD-Menu, pin code and #3), the board number is automatically confirmed and the new result can be entered directly.
  • "RESET" function key can be enabled/disabled (for player use) through the Bridgemate II options screen.
  • The Bridgemate's Section/Table is shown in the TD Pin code entry screen.
  • Cancel key can be used during the blinking "Verification by East or West" screen to cancel North's input.
  • Score recap can also be accessed from the TD-Menu #6.  (Useful when the "scores" option is not enabled for players.)
  • Board result will now be stored in Bridgemate's memory when the transmission to the server fails.

    Change:     Bridgemate will now go into standby when displaying "Failed to send data, retry?" - instead of staying alive and trying to resend the score every 20 seconds.

    Bug Fix:     Score recap showed random scores when the last round was not played and score-recap was accessed from the End-of-Session screen.
