July 17, 2003: 4.0.2 bug fix release made

This fixes several bugs reported on version 4.0.1 only new "feature" is the correction of the Snipe scoring system. They had mis-documented their system in their class rules. They corrected their published rules, and I've updated JavaScore accordingly.

Also, I STRONGLY recommend that you update your Java2 runtime to version 1.4. Most of the more severe looking bugs reported in the newest JavaScore were related to the older version of Java2 not to JavaScore itself. This is the last release that I anticipate will run on Java2 1.3 at all, and it is not well tested on that release.

February 24, 2003: Version 3.9.1

This is primarily a "service" release. I fixed a few bugs, most notably, I corrected a problem in the tiebreaker for Iceboat scoring, and updated the AVG calculation meet the 2001-2004 RRS A10(a) recommendation. I also made some internal updates in preparation for improvements to division handling with handicap classes. Click here for details.
