Orwell → Important Notices

We have added Important Notices section to Orwell, to higlight important changes, breaking changes or any other important information one needs to be aware of; In essence, it replaces/supplements our Discord Announcements.

Statistics Rewrites

As part of our ongoing efforts to streamline vAMSYS operation, we were optimising our database queries for maximum performance. Everything to do with statistics generation were proving to be a bottleneck. With 5.3.9 we have addressed it by completely changing how statistics are stored and calculated.

They are now real-time everywhere, including Leaderboards.

This required an update to Pilot Profile and Phoenix Dashboard Statistics modules:

Changing tabs will load the revelant data for said tab.

In Phoenix Dashboard, the Details tab was replaced with the link to Pilot Profile.

Leaderboard Changes

Leaderboards (Phoenix → Community → Leaderboard) has been completely rewritten to utilise our changes to the max.

It is now one table; At the top - you can change between various leaderboard types enabled by the VA:

The Leaderboard has tab toggles for various time periods and Sort By selectors.

Most importantly, the Leaderboard is now not limited to 20 people - you can see exactly where you are in the table, as well as in the blue summary box.

And finally, a feature suggested more than 8 years ago is also finally in - the Change column, showing how position in the leaderboard changed period to period.

API Changes

With the changes to statistics, it is now time to speed up migration to API v3 and retire old APIs - we posted a note about this in the Orwell Dashboard.

API v3 has a breaking change where /operations/statistics endpoint has been retired; For a short period of time /operations/statistics-legacy is available.
