1.44b4 uploaded

Hi,

v1.44b4 is now uploaded. I've responded to some of the stuff chatted about
on the group; more to come, including something to set the start times
en-mass as requested by RSE etc... Summary of changes in v1.44b4:

···

-----

Add internationalisation/locale infra-structure so that the Sailwave UI can
be translated to other languages. Currently in evaluation and only works for
Edit+Competitor entry prompts. See previous mailing.

Add a tool (Tools menu) to update competitor ratings from the rating files;
useful for switching between ratings schemes to compare results, and also
when the ratings change via a governing body. Note the Tools menu in
contradiction to previous messages about this.

Rearrange the menus a bit between Edit and Tools to make more sense.
Apologies if that breaks your finger-memory for a while...

Add Yachts and Yachting style for general use; as well as for use in the Y&Y
report/result plug-in.

Introduce ability for rating system to have two coefficients A and B. Custom
rat sys expressions can also reference these. Introduced for PHRF TOT. See
previous mailings.

Add PHRF TOT as an internal rating system with capability of defining A and
B.

Add IRM, IRC, CHS (legacy) and ECHO rating systems.

Update online documentation reference section about rating files.

Generalise the rating library into the ability to load ratings from N CSV
files in a ratings sub-folder in the Sailwave installation folder. Remove
the list based user interface; not useful. See previous mailing and the
ratings files ref page on the web site.

Fix the problem that did a case-sensitive check when inserting style sheet
code.

Relax accuracy of custom rating system expression tests a bit.

Extend FAQ 32.

Fix bug that skipped the odd race now and again when publishing all races!

Allow start/finish times to be entered as 4 digit or 6 digit 24 hour times.
e.g. 1205 is 5 past 12 and 120505 is 5 seconds past 5 past 12.

Handle start/finish times spanning midnight.

Fix the History facility.

Fix some of the file open dialogs WRT the folder they start in.

Add Regatta Service Europe style.

2. These annotations only make sense in English!
