Hey y'all, I have been devloping during the last 2 months this update. It has taken longer than usual but my free time now is much more limited than when I first released the tool. This will very likely be the last big update to the tool. I will still support it with bug fixes but I don't think there will be a 1.8 version. Thank you so much for the support you have given me and the feedback throughout all of the process. It has been a joy.

For the full patch notes, please read: https://github.com/IUrreta/DatabaseEditor/releases/tag/1.7.1

Repo: https://github.com/IUrreta/DatabaseEditor/tree/release

Anyways, here are the main new features:

Team standings: Now you can see the team standings, in addition to the drivers’ ones.





Comparison of drivers and teams: You can compare more than two drivers or teams in the chart, while the head-to-head chart still exists.





Quali form and points progression charts: The qualifying form and points progression charts are added, in addition to the race form one.

Retirement age editing: You can edit the retirement age of the drivers, so that they suit your preference.

Unretire drivers: You can now unretire drivers directly from the contract tab without having to move them into another team.

Team editing: You can edit the HQ of each team, as well as their short and long term objectives, their budget and the money spent on the cost cap.





Board confidence editing: You can edit the board confidence for the player’s team, so that you can manage your career better.

Calendar editor rework: You can now edit the calendar during the season (although it’s not recommended), and change the weather of qualifying and race for any Grand Prix (this can be done at any point of the season).





Artificial Intelligence Model: An AI model is incorporated that is capable of making predictions about the race results. You can consult both past and next race predictions. In addition, the model includes the possibility of simulating the championship dozens of times from a selected race, offering probabilities of each driver finishing in each position of the championship based on those simulations.

The editor now can load 1.9 saves

The save changes button from the edit stats tab will now always be unlocked

Improvements​

• Swap between "Best Race" and "Sprint Wins" in driver comparision (only if onw of the two drivers has won a sprint)
• Poles for each race are now displayed in BOLD in the standings tab
• Added buttons to each stat in the stats tab to make the editing faster and easier
• Alert animation of overall change will now vary if the overall is improving or worsening
• Minor style changes

Bug fixes​

• #117 only driver stats could be edited from 1.6
• Trident F2 drivers would appear in the F3 tab
• Duplicates drivers and staff will finally be over (I hope)
• Race instances in the calendar would overlap the blocking message if they had been moved previously
• If a driver DNF'd and achieved the fastest lap in the same race a -1 would appear in the standings tab
• Numbers in driver comparision would not transition to their correct color as they should (style only)
• Transparency issues with toasts (style only)

Fixed a bug that would cause a -1 to appear in stead of a DNF in the driver comparision tab (thanks to WTS)

New features

• Keep track of past seasons with the new standings tab
• Compare two drivers from any season in the new comparision tab
• Edit driver numbers

For the full release notes: https://github.com/IUrreta/DatabaseEditor/releases/tag/1.6.0

Previously there was a naming issue on the linux launch script. It's fixed now

Previously, on the performance tab, the floor changes wuold actually go to the sidepods and vice versa. Now it's fixed

Fixed a bug where some drivers could not appear in the editor in a specific case

Hey, maybe some of you who were having the "Could not connect with backend" error and it was your first time using the tool were not doing wrong, it may have been my fault. Try the latest version. Again, sorry for the inconvenience, the last few days have been a mess. I hope this fixes it for you

As a lot of people have found that their systems is flagging the tool as malware, I have decided to roll back and make Python mandatory again to use the tool. There is an updated guide on how to install here:

https://github.com/IUrreta/DatabaseEditor/wiki/Installation-and-set‐up-guide

For the zip installation it's the same in Github and here, you have two options from where do you want to download the .zip - Github or RaceDepartment, but the procedure in both cases is EXACTLY THE SAME
