LMU Steward V1.5.0 Release Notes

First off I want to thank everyone who provided feedback in regards to any defects, enhancements, and overall improvements over the course of the last two updates and I hope with this major update I am able to deliver value with this application in a meaningful way.

Features

Live Sessions

• Data hub for stewards to watch live sessions they are in
• Live incident feed with incident dossier with telemetry data on the incident that took place

• Full session time grid that shows each drivers current position, fastest lap time, fastest sector times, last lap time, on track status (garage, pit, on track), and interval to the car ahead.
• Live sessions will automatically switch when the session switches from Practice -> Qualifying -> Race and keep an independent recording of each session.
• View all of your previous live sessions in the Capture view, where you will be able to link your live session with a replay found on your local machine

• Control your data and automatically purge captured data after a certain time period. This setting can be found in the User Settings
• To use this feature you must turn on Experimental Features as well as the Live Session feature setting to enable this feature

Capture View

• View all live capture sessions in a single view
• LMU Steward analyzes existing capture data, replay logs, and replay files to provide a match rate to link capture data to replay   - I intentionally did not automatically link capture sessions to replay logs because LMU can take up to 5 minutes sometimes to generate replay log and vcr files after a live session has completed.
• Manage capture data from this view for linking, unlinking, and deleting capture data when its no longer needed

Driver Dashboard

• Driver dashboard shows you the same stats as LMU and much much more
• LMU Steward analyzes all of the data points it has available and creates a driver report card
• Some stats include   - Total sessions   - Total of laps raced, and laps led   - Total Distance driven   - Race results such as win and podium rate, average class finish   - Drivers Pace stats including gap to session best, qualifying consistency, and tracks where you're closest and furthest away from the pace   - and much more

Import / Export

• Import and export replays allows you to share your replays with another user of LMU Steward
• Export replays and all data captured during that replay, including live session data captured with LMU Steward
• Import replays to view the replay on your machine, as well as the session data that was recorded during the session, including any live session data captured from LMU Steward
• Export replay log data to share all the data collected from LMU replay log, as well as any live session data captured by LMU Steward, and any decisions made from a steward during the live or post session review
• Export Types Available:   - CSV - spreadsheets   - Markdown - document   - JSON - used for a league database or custom league management software   - Copy Markdown to clipboard - Useful for copying and pasting formatted information in Discord

Quality of Life Improvements

Replay Archive

• Users can now archive sessions or entire weekend from their list of replays   - Archived sessions do not delete any data from your machine, its just moves the item to an "Archived" view found on the replays view

Replay Banner

• Users can now navigate out of a replay without the replay closing in LMU
• A replay banner will appear within LMU Steward allowing the user to return back to the replay they navigated away from
• If you close LMU Steward while a replay is active in LMU and reopen LMU you the replay banner will still be available for you to use to navigate back to where you left off
• A new "Close Replay" button is now on the replay view and driver analysis view that allows you to close the replay in LMU and returns you back to the replay list page

Persistent Filters and Sorting

• Users can now configure their filters and sorting on the replay list view to be persisted even after application shutdown
• Users can turn this feature on by going into User Settings and turning on "Remember Filters and Sorting" under the "Session Replays" settings

Experimental Features

• Users can now try out experimental features build into LMU Steward by going into "User Settings" and enabling "Enable Experimental Features" under the "Experimental Features" settings
• Users will be able to see what features are considered experimental so they know what features they'll be trying out
• Experimental features are features that have been fully tested with limited set of data and scenarios
• Users are encouraged to provide feedback, report bugs, and suggest changes or enhancements to these features
• Features flagged under experimental are anticipated to be merged into a production release at a later version once a larger data set has been tested and any major defects or gaps in features have been fully met

Thanks again for all of the feedback and hope to see you on track!

Hey Y'all,

Just a quick update here for LMU Steward that adds Laguna Seca and Daytona to the list of supported tracks.

As always, thank you for using LMU Steward and I can't wait to release the next big update with new features for y'all to use!

Release - https://github.com/misirlu13/lmu-steward/releases/tag/v1.4.0

Hey Y'all,

I wanted to get a quick release out of LMU Steward before the next LMU update launches next week. This update is all about performance and error capturing.

Performance

I updated the parsing logic of log files and I am not only storing necessary data in the apps data store. This is a huge change since it reduces the amount of memory the application requires to serve the replays to the UI. Also, I moved away from a simple JSON store to a local SQL Lite that is encapsulated inside the app.

Error Handling

I added some error handling and built in crash reporting if something fails. I'm hoping the next LMU update doesn't break anything with LMU Steward but I wanted to make sure that the errors can easily be reported if anything does go south.

As always, feedback and bug reports are welcome: https://github.com/misirlu13/lmu-steward/issues

Thanks for using LMU Steward!

Release V1.3.0 - https://github.com/misirlu13/lmu-steward/releases/tag/v1.3.0

I changed my oil today in my 73' 240z that I built out an 3.0 L28 stroker with triple weber carbs and swapped with a 5 speed 280z transmission. Everything is essentially new, including bearings, seals, etc. I have less than 200 miles driven on this and I was just changing the oil after a short break in period. When I went underneath the car after it was running to ensure that no oil leaks were present after the oil change I noticed this knocking sound coming from underneath the car when it was sitting at idle. In the video, I start the car, let it idle for a bit and you can hear the sound, then I press the clutch about half way in and the sound is still there, but once the clutch is fully pressed and engaged the sound goes away, so I can at least assume the problem is isolated to the transmission.

Any guesses on what this might be? The only two things that I can think of at the moment is:

1. Low transmission fluid
   • I do remember not having the right type of squeeze bottle and struggling to push fluid in, so maybe the fluid is just low and this is noise is coming from low fluid levels
2. Throw out bearing
   • The one thing I've noticed with this car after driving it for a bit is the clutch pedal is pretty damn hard, and always has been. I'm not 100% certain if that is because of the throw out bearing, or, if it might be because of all of the new components (new clutch master cylinder, new clutch slave, etc).

I'm curious if anyone has any ideas on what might be going on, or some ways to help diagnose the problem.
