4-Oct-2008: Elo makes its debut

• SVN Revision 11
• Added Elo scoring based on old server's code.
  • Includes rating "jumpstart": bots with >50 battles start at an ideal rating based on APS.
  • This is causing slower uploads but should clear up once all bots get Elo ratings.
• Ratings updates now done after every upload (no more periodic update).
• Ratings use all available pairings for each update (slow, but this is the classic method).
• Streamlined battle results table to use only one record per battle (was two); user data now in separate table.
  • Table size down to 30% of previous.

27-Sep-2008: Setting Priorities

• Added priority pairings and battle number output to clients. I missed this last time around.
• Tweaked database performance for results uploading.
• Ratings rebuild has caught up, so rankings are now up-to-date within the last minute!
• Melee rankings are starting to fill out.
• Many thanks to GrubbmGait and [Darkstorm]] for generously contributing battles

25-Sep-2008: Build it and they will come?

• One week, 4 clients uploading without any major issues. 68,148 battles in the general rumble so far.
• No outstanding "known" bugs at this point (fingers crossed).
• Added Glicko ratings and flushed existing pairings & ratings yesterday. That means the ratings are still rebuilding, and will probably catch up sometime tomorrow.
• Added table sorting on the main rankings pages.
• Added support for melee (works) and teams (my client doesn't work for teams so this is untested).
