Version 1.4.0-beta

Release Date: September 11, 2025

Bug Fixes

  • Users should no longer be able to select teams on a bye week, denoted as "Team (Bye)".
  • Users should be able to use the "Forgot your password?" feature on the login page now. A reset password link will be sent to a user's email account if requested, where they can complete a password reset.
  • Updated everyone to have won the Pac-12.

Enhancements

  • Addded an "Across the League" functionality which functions like your personal dashboard, but for everyone in the league. The page will display the games stauts (in progress first, then complete, and then pending) and the people involved and the outcome. This will be tested this weekend.
  • Pagination has been disabled on the "View Picks" page, so you can use 'Find in Page' or just scroll to see all user picks and statuses without clicking into different pages.
  • Added a 'Conferences Won' column on the User Conference Status page, so now users can see who is alive in which conference, who is eliminated, and who has won a conference.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue with data not displaying on the View Picks page.
  • Various database updates to ensure data integrity.

  • The View Picks page is now sorted alphabetically by school for easy comparison among competitors who picked the same team as you.
  • Integrated game situation (e.g. "Down & Distance ON Team Yard Line") into the in progress games on the dashboard.
  • Ordered the games on the dashboard as 1) in progress, 2) completed, and then 3) pending.

Version 1.2.1-beta

Release Date: August 27, 2025

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a data issue where teams were erroneously shown as having a bye week.
  • Dashboard picks were displaying times in UTC (as stored in the database). Updated the time to display as eastern time.

Enhancements

  • Added form feedback to the registration form so that when users are redirected to the login page it shows that they were successfully registered.
  • Added feedback to the dashboard to indicate a successful pick submission.
  • Implemented logic to allow for a maintenance mode if we need to make large-scale changes to the website.
  • Updated the display order of the conferences to match the Google Form.
  • Styled the select labels on the /picks page so that they stand out more from the actual select form controls.

Version 1.2.0-beta

Release Date: August 21, 2025

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where Week 0 and Week 1 games were combined.

Changes

  • Initial 2025 data has been loaded.
  • Removed username from tables.
  • Updated fields that relied on username to use first name and last name.
  • Removed username from the Profile page.
  • Removed username from the Register page.
  • Added a 'Confirm Password' field to the registration page with client and server side verificaiton.
  • Temporarily disabled the View Picks page because it allowed everyone to view picks in progress. The page will be updated in the future to only display picks for prior weeks, not the current week.

Enhancements

  • Added a pick indicator on the user dashboard. The pick indicator will display "Not Started", "In Progress", or "Complete" depending on whether the user has submitted none, some, or all of the picks for conferences they are alive in.
  • Added a tooltip on the Invite Code for the registration page to assist users who may not know where to find their invite code.

Version 1.1.4-beta

Release Date: November 18, 2024

Enhancements

  • Added a 'Logout' button to the user dashboard.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where if the user made a pick for the current week, the dashboard was displaying the previous week's result when it should show a 'Pending' game. No integrity of the picks were affected, just the display on the user dashboard.

Version 1.1.3-beta

Release Date: November 7, 2024

Enhancements

  • Added a "Modify Picks" button to the user dashboard page so that the user can change their picks if they desire without having to manually navigate to the Picks page.
  • Styled the buttons to be full-width on mobile.
  • The "Picks" page now includes a link to return to the dashboard.
  • Added a "Return to Dashboard" button on the Picks page in case the user doesn't make any picks changes.
  • Added a "Go to My Dashboard" button on this (Release Notes) page.
  • Added the footer with version info and a link to report issues to the Picks page.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where if a user had not made picks for the current week, they would see their previous picks along with current week opponent under the "Your Picks for Week X" section of the dashboard. Now if a user has not made picks for the current week, they should be prompted to make picks for the current week.

Version 1.1.2-beta

Release Date: October 2, 2024

Enhancements

  • Registration now requires an invite code. This was implemented to prevent strangers/spammers from joining he league and enhance security. Invite codes will come directly from the administrator currently.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where a user pick on the dashboard would display also as that user's opponent, e.g. "Miami vs Miami". Now the display is correct as "Away @ Home" for each game.

Version 1.1.1-beta

Release Date: September 19, 2024

Enhancements

  • On the picks page, users will now see which week they picked a team. Instead of (Already Picked) next to teams users have picked, users will now see (Picked - WX) where X is the week they picked the team.
  • The dashboard pick tiles will now show the conference next to the pick's name, for example Michigan (Big Ten).

Version 1.1.0-beta

Release Date: September 12, 2024

Enhancements

  • Updated user dashboard so picks are shows as tiles. "Live" game data is being pulled in and game tiles are updated accordingly. As of now, we are rate-limited in our calls, so game data will update every 15 minutes or so. The data refresh date is displayed as a footnote beneath the user's picks.
  • Eliminated custom CSS to ensure consistent design and better mobile optimization.
  • When users are making their picks, the opponent is displayed in parentheses to clarify that the user is selecting the first team in the dropdown, e.g., Michigan (vs Michigan State) instead of simply Michigan vs Michigan State.
  • Removed the redundant "Select a team from {Conference}:" text to just display the conference name to improve readability when making picks.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an error in which 'Pending' instead of a 'Loss' was displayed even after a loss had occurred.
  • Fixed an error in which if a user was eliminated from a conference, they were still able to select teams from that conference when selecting picks for future weeks.
  • Fixed an error in the API call which was only fetching future game data instead of checking for games that have happened but hadn't been updated yet.
  • Fixed an issue that was causing users to display as eliminated from conferences they were still alive in.
  • Fixed an issue where the user's picks were stuck on their week 1 picks on the dashboard page.
  • Users are no longer able to select teams on a Bye for a given week on mobile.
  • Fixed an issue where users were sometimes erroneously marked as eliminated from a conference even though their pick won.

Known Issues

  • Password reset request isn't working but we believe this is due to DNS propagation. It appears the smtp server is affected. We expect this to resolve itself, but will continue to monitor.

Version 1.0.1-beta

Release Date: September 4, 2024

New Features

  • When making picks, users will now see the opponent in the form of "Pick vs Team" or "Pick @ Team". Users are always picking the first team listed.

    For example, if the dropdown shows "Michigan vs Texas", Michigan is the home team, Texas is the visiting team, and the user would be picking Michigan. Likewise, if it were Michigan @ Ohio State, Michigan is the visiting team, Ohio State is the home team, and the user would be picking Michigan.

Enhancements

  • Adjusted CSS to make tables (view picks and user conference status) responsive. This should make the mobile experience better.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed the incorrectly-working password reset link. Users should no longer see an error after they click the button to reset their passwords.

Version 1.0.0-beta

New Features

  • Initial release of the College Football Survivor application.
  • Users can register, log in, and manage their profiles.
  • Pick submissions for each week and conference with real-time updates.
  • Dynamic filtering and pagination for viewing picks.
  • User dashboard with current conference status and pick history.
