What's New

This release introduces a new API layer between the application and database, replacing direct database read/write operations. This architectural change improves performance, enhances security, and sets the foundation for upcoming features.

Improvements

• • Performance: Reduced response times through intelligent caching of frequently accessed data and user permissions
• • Bulk Operations: Added the ability to fetch multiple regattas or entries in a single request, reducing load times when viewing lists and dashboards
• • Authentication: Extended login sessions now last 24 hours without requiring re-authentication, so you'll stay logged in throughout your regatta day
• • Regatta Visibility: Test regattas no longer appear in public regatta listings, keeping the public view clean and relevant

Why This Matters

Moving to an API-first architecture gives us a more flexible foundation for building new features. You'll notice faster page loads now, and this change enables capabilities we have planned for future releases.
