Key features in the release of version 1.2.1 include a new Score Pilot protocol for data transmission, and new Scoreboard and Locker Room templates. Improvements have been made to the UI for Data Outputs and sound handling, while several bugs related to timed buzzer changes and the Start/Stop button have been fixed.

New Features

• Added new settings that allow users to assign a specific game sponsor on the Scoreboard interface, enhancing the customization during matches.

• Enabled functionality to add a penalty for a “Coach”, which is represented as an un-numbered penalty assigned to the player marked as “-”.

• Implemented a brand new Score Pilot protocol designed to send data efficiently to output devices.

• Designed new Score Pilot templates for Scoreboards and Locker Room displays.

Improvements to existing features

• Redesigned the UI layout for adding new Data Outputs, including defaults to enable quicker creation.

• Upgraded pincode pop-ups to simplify pin entry and provide clearer feedback on incorrect pins.

• Improved sound handling to prevent occasional lag.

• Added safeguard to Game Time to prevent changes when date or time updates occur on the Score Pilot unit.

• Updated timeout button handling to allow timeouts during game time, stopping the clock, sounding the horn, and starting the team's timeout.

Bug fixes

• Fix bugs in timed buzzer line changes: horn not sounding as expected, buzzer indicators missing in the first period, and Score Pilot lagging when using timed buzzer line changes.

• Fix bug causing Start/Stop button to get stuck in “Switch to next period” mode.

• Fix bug allowing Shot Clock to exceed remaining Game Time; it now blanks if set higher than Game Time.
