Introduction
First off, thank you all for 250 installs! It’s crazy how much support has been shown for this extension since the original version launched and the original post. I’ve since released a small update, and have a bigger update currently being reviewed (should be approved in the next few days). I’ve been hard at work, adding new features and improving each command. I’m currently pretty satisfied with the current state of each base command, and am looking forward to adding some new commands and views. Although I will continue to add some new features and improvements with each update.
The Highlights:
Past Scores Feature: In the scores and schedule commands, I’ve updated each command to now show the final scores for the past 3 days, the games for the current day, and the games for the next 5 days. It integrates nicely with the existing functionality, and is support in every league. And specifically for the F1 Results and Schedule Command I’ve set it to instead show the entire schedule for the entire year, so you can see every race for the season.
Visual upgrades: new icons that dynamically update in the scores and schedule commands, race number indicators in the f1 results and schedule command, position indicators in the standings commands, headline category indicators for the news commands. In addition, tooltips have been added for all new icons and indicators (for increased accessibility)
MLB Improvements: Now that the season has started (at least spring training) I got a chance to take a look at the api properly, and update and fix some issues. First the standings should display correctly now. Live games will show a detail instead of time remaining (for ex: bottom of 9th).
F1 Improvements: Race titles will now shore more detail, and subtitles have been added for the location of each race
Live Score Menu Bar Command: Not quite ready yet, so will not be shipped in this update. Although I have made some good progress, hopefully will be ready for the next update which will also have the favorite teams feature, and some other improvements.
New League: Champions League (Soccer)
