Changes:

Added guaranteed minimum prize pool feature for tournaments. When Multiply Bonus is set to the new "Min" option, the amount specified in Prize Bonus becomes a guaranteed minimum. So if the number of entrants times the buy-in is less than this amount, the difference will be made up with house chips. If the original prizepool is equal to or greater than the amount specified, then no additional chips are added. This differs from the other options of "Yes" or "No" where chips were always added no matter the number of entrants.

Tournament start times are now sortable in the lobby window via a restructured grid display. This should be especially handy for sites that run a lot of fixed start time tournaments. The Status column is now a "Starts / Status" column and the registration count now has its own "Reg" column. Tournaments that have a non-zero start time will display as "@ yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm" in the last column. Sit and Go tournaments will show "@ starts when full". All others will show as "@ manual start". As with all client side text, you can change the wording using the language feature. Tournaments that are running will still show "Playing: xx/yy" as before. The column header for "St/Tb" (seats per table) has been shorted to "TS" (table size). The "Tables" column indicating the max number of tables has been removed since the max entrants is displayed in the new Reg column. Also, the "PW" password column has been removed from both the ring game and tournament tabs in the lobby so that the table ID column could be widened. If you need to distinguish between open and private tables you'll need to do that in the table ID.

Column sorting in the lobby window is now remembered between sessions for all the grid controls.

AutoMuck and Hand Helper options are now on by default for new players. This should speed up the game. Players can still turn those off, of course.

Fixed Remote Admin bug that would immediately expire the session if Windows had been running more than 25 days with a reboot. The internal Windows millisecond counter crossed the 2.1 billion mark at that point and overflowed one of the integer calculations.

Fixed bug in Remove No-Show feature that could leave 1 active player stranded. This would only happen on multi-table tournaments where only one player showed up.

Thanks Kent
how about the RTL check box you promised before?

You mean in the client for right-to-left chat? Unfortunately there's a bug in the OpenLaszlo implementation of that and I can't get any of those developers (the few that are left) to fix it.

Just set "Recur minutes" to 1440. That feature has been around a long time (since version 2.10).

Hi Kent,

I did set that 1440 recuring, but the thing is when I go to the tournament lobby it listing the old date.

for example i set 2012-09-25 as the start tour date and 1440 as recur minute. the 2012-09-25 still listing as the starting date even when u are in 2012-09-26

or do i need to set something else to have it different?

thanks

Today is only 2012-09-21 so nothing will happen until the 25th. Your site has to be online when that next start time arrives. If it is, the tournament starts (assuming the min player requirement is met) and the next start time will be set for you automatically using the recur minutes value.

hi Kent,

no, cuz i set it for sept 20 already and i set it again for the 25th .. cuz if the tournament didn't start would the time change?

It updates the time when it's set to start so if you happened to be offline at the time then it won't update.
