v1.6.8

New Feature:

You can now use custom logos that won't be overwritten when you install an update. Simply copy the current logos.json (or create a new config file) named custom_logos.json under the config directory and assign new logos for the teams of your choice.

For more details on how to use different logos, see this Discussion post here: #310

Fix

• Now handle errors caused by missing data on the nhl API (The ones we know happens from time to time). now if the data is missing, the boards that requires this data wont show on screen and error message will show in the logs
• Fixed the standings in the config sample and schema.
• cleaned debug and print statements

v1.6.7

• nhl_setup now has the new config options and standings option at back to normal

v1.6.6

2021-2022 season release.

• This update add the Seattle Kraken to the teams. Really nice looking logo btw.

• Added a season countdown for the off season. Still in developpement, and my have some bugs.

• Adjusted the positions for the new Coyotes logo (You will need to remove the current logo image from your scoreboard in order for the new one to be downloaded), see discussion related to this release to know how.

• Some minor fix related to playoff features

v1.6.5

Fix

• Now the game score of each series is stored. No more requesting the API every loop.
• Handle the odd cross-conference series matchup (specific to 2021 season)
• If the default round is not available on the API, round 1 is set by default
• Forcing Pillow to v7.1.2. The newer version cause graphic issues

v1.6.3

Fix:

• Now handling missing team information causing the scoreboard to crash.
• Modified some error message (from @falkyre)

v1.6.2

Fix update

Fix for location issues #227 from PR #246 .
Fix to the location code to handle when user entered a location in the config.json. Also adds changing ownership of the location.json file from root to the user that created the nhl-led-scoreboard repository. Updated the sb-upgrade script to match the one in the image.

v1.6.1

Fix

• Missing Intermission data should not cause the board to crash anymore.
• Data refresh is back into the off-day state but it is now called every other loop. If you only use the Scoreticker, it will refresh between 1 to 2 min depending on how many games are being played. This is a temporary fix. I will add different modes to accommodate multiple use cases in an upcoming update.

Feature removal

• Covid 19 is out as it was a temporary feature made especially for 2020's lack of hockey and I won't maintain it anymore.

Note that you will need to reconfig you board after you update as the configuration have changed a bit

v1.6.0

Features:

nhl-led-scoreboard-img from @falkyre .

This is a new and easier way to set up and install everything. This is basically Raspberry Pi OS but with the NHL-led-scoreboard preinstalled. PLEASE READ THE DOCUMENTATION. It's not as simple as just loading on the SD card and throwing it in the raspberry pi.

PLEASE NOTE: The image will be available after I publish a release. Keep an eye out on that repository for when it will be available.

Other Features

• Favorite Game priority: Now if multiple of your Preferred teams play on the current day, it will put which ever games starts the soonest as the main event until another game of a preferred team, that is higher in priority in the config list, is about to start. This means that if your top team plays at 9 PM but one of your other favorite teams starts at 7 PM, it will put that other team's game as the main event during the day up until 9 PM when your top preferred team is about to start.

• Penalty Board: Whenever there is a new penalty detected, the scoreboard will show the penalty animation and a board giving the perpetrator's name and jersey and also if it's a Minor or Major penalty. I will also add a more detailed board on the next update. Just like the Goal animation, you can use your own. if none are detected it will use the standard one.

• New Loading screen: When the scoreboard starts a new loading screen appears while the data is being downloaded and processed.
  If you use the new Image, you also get a new splash screen that appears while raspberry pi OS boot. Keep in mind that it will take up to 8 seconds for it to appear as the raspberry pi has to load what the screen needs to render.

• Team Summary logos: Just like the scoreboards in the previous update, the logos on the team summary are now all pulled inside and are blended into the data with a black gradient.

• 128x64: The logos and the gradient have been aligned on the scoreboard.

Fixes:

• Pulling less data: I reprogrammed some parts to refresh certain data daily instead of refreshing on every loop. There is still work needed in that regard but it is now much better.
• Scoreboard logos realignment: Some logos on the Scoreboard has been realigned.
• **Team Summary ** now shows the right data.
• Stanley cup champions won't cause a crash if no playoff info is detected and the board is used in the config. PR #205
• You can now test the scoreboard champions board with your own team id. PR #205
• Fixed configs to be more consistent and to allow the use of a new app by @sflems (https://github.com/sflems/nhl-led-scoreboard-webgui) PR #220 and PR #219

v1.5.7

BUG FIX:

Fixed issue with the scoreboard not running under supervision on v1.5.6

v1.5.6

BUG FIX:

• Fixed issues related to issue #190 and #187 where the logos would not be accessible due to being owned by root. Now the ownership or the logos is changed upon being generated.

• Stats, standings, teams info now update daily (when the scoreboard hit a new day).
