When a slot is reserved for a specific community, its leaders can slot or unslot their own members without needing to request intervention from the event’s Zeus and without gaining administrative control over the entire mission.

• Slot Request Handling Fix: Fixed an issue affecting slot management when slot requests were in a pending state. Slot request handling is now stable and functions correctly in all scenarios.

• Privacy Policy Update: Updated the privacy policy to specify that event suggestions in the "For You" section are processed based on the user’s community memberships and recent event participation within the last 7 days. This processing is limited in time, uses only internal platform data, and does not involve profiling or tracking.

The popup clearly informs users that they are leaving the platform before being redirected to an external website, helping improve awareness and overall safety.

• Persistent Session System: Introduced a persistent session system to ensure that user sessions remain active even after platform updates or server restarts. Previously, any update or restart would log out all users and terminate their sessions. With this update, sessions are now preserved and automatically recovered, allowing uninterrupted access. The existing maximum session duration of 24 hours remains in effect for security reasons. After 24 hours of inactivity without additional login or logout actions, the session will expire and the user will need to log in again.

• Advanced Moderation Tools for Staff Members: Added and updated a suite of advanced moderation tools specifically designed for staff members of Slotlist.it. These improvements enhance control over community management, streamline moderation workflows, and provide staff with more efficient and effective ways to oversee and maintain a safe and organized environment on the platform.

This includes modset editing, assigning slots to other communities, and locking individual slots or entire groups.

• Mission Edit Step Navigation Enhancement: The mission edit page has been enhanced to allow users to skip steps in the editing process.

• Mission Visibility Control: The mission system has been upgraded with four visibility levels including Public, Unlisted, My Group Only, and Selected Groups. This enhancement allows administrators to precisely manage access to each mission while streamlining organization across multiple communities.

• Improved Slot Request Logic: We have improved the management of slot requests for users and Zeus. From now on, Zeus can also see the name of the squad for which a user has requested a role, while users can know if a slot has already been requested by someone else. In this case, the message 'Slot Booked' will appear, but it will still be possible to make the request, which will then be managed by the Zeus. Furthermore, after requesting a slot, the user will be able to easily identify their own slot from the others, to know exactly which one they have reserved.

• Fixed Buggy Server Details Post-Modification: We have fixed an issue that was encountered after modifying an event, where the Arma 3 or Arma Reforger server details were no longer visible.

• Added support for Arma Reforger: We have extended the platform to also include Arma Reforger. It is now possible to create and manage events dedicated to Reforger directly on Slotlist.it. To easily distinguish the events, specific badges have been added both on the homepage and on the pages of each event, clearly differentiating those of Arma 3 from those of Arma Reforger.

• Improved Event Modification Logic: We have rewritten the event modification logic from scratch, increasing its reliability.
• Removed Event Customization Option: For the time being, the Drag & Drop logic ONLY IN THE EVENT MODIFICATION PHASE has been removed as it compromised the final result. This is not a final change; it will be re-enabled in the future. For now, it remains enabled only in the EVENT CREATION phase.

• Drag & Drop of roles: During the creation or modification phase of an event, we have added the ability to manually move the order of the groups displayed in the slotlist, through a Drag & Drop system.
  Screenshot

• Improved File Renaming System: After the creation of an event, in the past the modset file was automatically renamed by our systems. We have updated this functionality: from now on, for all future missions, the name of the modset file will remain unchanged and will correspond to the original one.
  
  Events Subject to Modification: 966efa57-4c6b-46a9-bb70-d9d8087d1e8b.
  
  

  No action is required from the Zeus of the indicated event. The change to the modset name was made by a platform Admin, identifiable by the 'Admin' badge on the public profile. The change only concerns the update of the modset name with immediate effect, the 'Download Modset' button on the event page has been automatically modified to adapt to the new modset name. Users who have already downloaded the modset are not required to re-download it.

• Updated Terms of Service: Added section '3.1. Age Requirements' and '5.2. Reporting Copyright Infringement'
• Updated Privacy Policy: Added section '5. Children's Privacy'

• New Event Creation and Modification Logic: Whenever an event is created or modified, the system checks if the user is present in one or more slots. If so, it removes the user from the duplicate role to avoid conflicts. It finally performs a consistency check to ensure that each role in the event has a unique ID.
• ID Duplication Bug Correction: Fixed the bug a8d4bfc1-2e1a-4e59-b7db-2e8f6d22b3a1 which was a problem when modifying an event, also duplicating the role IDs and preventing the correct assignment of users to duplicate roles. Now each duplicate role generates a unique ID, ensuring consistent and reliable event management.



During the fix phase it is possible that some users who participated in the event ac8914ca-aa59-416a-95fe-08eada86c41f have received notifications of removed or assigned slots; there is no need to worry, these are messages generated automatically during the correction.

• UI issue resolved: A user interface issue on an event's page has been resolved. The issue was related to the lack of spacing between briefing and schedules only if the server information (ts3, arma3) was not set.

• Updated Terms of Service: Updated Section '5. User Conduct and Content'. Topic 'Custom Nickname'.

• Fixed Direct Modset URL Bug: A bug has been fixed that caused, when opening the modset link directly (e.g. .../modset.html), the display of the .html page instead of the automatic download, which instead happened normally by clicking the 'Download modset' button from the event page. The problem has been solved by downloading the modset if the link is opened instead of clicking the button.

• Automatic File Size Check: An automatic system has been implemented that checks if the uploaded files exceed the allowed weight limits, blocking those that exceed.

Now you need to resize the images and respect the established weight limits. All this to make the platform faster and safer, ensuring a better user experience with faster loading times and more space available for further events.

• Fixed a Critical Bug in Slot Management (Duplicate Roles): A serious problem has been fixed that prevented the correct functioning of slotting when there were multiple roles with the exact same name in the same team (e.g. "Rifleman", "Rifleman").
  • Previously, if the first of two identical roles was occupied, the system erroneously considered the second as "unavailable" as well, blocking slotting.
  • Now, each individual slot is treated as a unique entity, regardless of its name. This ensures that free slots are always accessible, even if they share the name with others already occupied.
• Improved the Robustness of Event Creation: The logic for creating and modifying events has been completely rewritten to be more stable. This prevents problems such as the disappearance of groups or roles during publication and ensures that the slotlist structure is always saved correctly.

• Zeus management correction: Fixed a critical problem for which, after the creation of a group or promotion of a Zeus by the group, the other zeus of the entire site were erroneously removed.
  • The bug caused the unintentional cancellation of the zeus permissions of users not involved with the group in question, compromising the correct management of roles. Now the system guarantees the isolation and correct management of privileges, keeping the permissions of the other zeus of the site intact.

  • Interactive charts on the most played roles, attendance by day of the week, and the number of events created per zeus.
  • Key statistics such as the total number of events, users with profiles, and unique participants.

• Enhanced Homepage: You can now filter events by organizing group. In addition, each event clearly shows the name and prefix of the group that created it.
• More Detailed Event Page:

  • In the slotlist, next to the name of each participant, the prefix of their group now appears, strengthening team identity.
• Enriched User Profile: The prefix of the group to which a user belongs is now also visible on their profile page, next to their name.
• Commendation System: At the end of an event, participants can now award a commendation to another player. The commendations received are visible as medals on the user's profile.

• Changed Reports Interface: The /reports page has been changed, now only the list of reports is shown and by clicking on one you can access the specific page of the report where there are more details.

• Infrastructure Update: Improved request handling and security through infrastructure changes. The platform now uses a simplified and more secure access method via HTTPS.

• New integrated support system: Introduced a support widget accessible via the message icon at the bottom right. Users can now start a real-time conversation with Damocles AI to receive automatic support on features, technical problems, or general questions. If necessary, the system allows direct interaction with an admin from the Damocles Slotting team for personalized assistance.

• Timezone Bug Fix: Identified and resolved an issue due to the server's handling of time in UTC format, which caused a 2-hour delay in the automatic updating of event status (upcoming, in progress, concluded). The system now correctly applies the GMT+2 offset, ensuring real-time synchronization with local time.
