Release note (v. 2023.07.1) - July 24, 2023
NEW FEATURES
- Records: If an athlete breaks their PB or SB in a meeting hosted by Roster Athletics, their records will be updated. The source of said record will be "Results". SB/PB for a later round (e.g., semi-final) will also be automatically updated.
IMPROVEMENTS
Records: Previously, an existing record was required to get a new PB/SP. This has been changed so that a PB/SB will be marked when no previous record exists. In addition, initial records added to the start list will be automatically transferred to the athlete's profile and kept as a "Start list" source.
Lane assignment models: World Athletics recently changed the rules for lane assignments for straight runs (60m, 60H, 100m, 100H, 110H), 200m and 400m. We have added these new lane assignment models.
Language: The platform can now be accessed in Spanish.
Testing: We have added a new Testing meeting type for new users who want to test the platform. Read more here.

Release note (v. 2023.05.2) - May 9, 2023
IMPROVEMENTS
Adding password: the option to add a password and make the meet/meeting private is no longer available with Roster web admin version 2023.05.2 going forward. Instead, use the ability to hide the meet/meeting from search results (MEETS/MEETINGS → Details → Extra → Visibility in search results → Exclude) and/or control the event visibility (for more information, see the Event visibility guide) within a meet/meeting.
If you have added a password to your meet/meeting before version 2023.05.2, all events will be hidden, and the meeting will be excluded from the search results.

Payments: We have added support for the currencies of Australia (Australian Dollar, AUD), New Zealand (New Zealand Dollar, NZD), Nigeria (Nigerian Naira, NGN), Jamaica (Jamaican Dollar, JMD), and Costa Rica (Costa Rican Colón, CRC).
