It's almost over, folks.
2.1 June 3, 2006 Bug Fix Release.

Changes from Vs. 2.0:
  • Dates for last three matches of the tournament showed the wrong day of week because the year was set to 2005 and not 2006 for those matches. Well spotted, Pete!
The last two matches are on Saturday and Sunday in Germany.
2.0 June 2, 2006 Final Release. Should anything be amiss I'll report it in the DeBlog page. Don't forget to check the Schedule Page of this website for match times. The start of the first match will probably be changed "live" if it departs from the official time.

Changes from Vs. 1.0:
  • Models updated to reflect new Regulations - see Models page.
  • Date-sorted Group Matches resorted to match Schedule Page.
  • Added more Artificial Intelligence to Comments Engine for likely match outcomes by testing for G in addition to GD.
  • Squashed minor bug which accepted entry in improper 'Lots' row - non-critical.
n/a May 28, 2006 FIFA changed the ranking model - read the Models or DeBlog Page. Play with Version 1.0 - it works - but standby for Version 2.0 due before tournament starts.
1.0 Apr 4, 2006 Corrected second June 10th match time; no other bug reports received. If I have time, I'll reorder the match schedules.

Website layout redone with new Schedule page with a minute-clock at German time, day-calendar clock, and a match countdown / countup clock, plus a table for match schedules and results for any time zone. If you see a ball, a match is on now! Finished matches get a "bullet." The table refreshes at the start of every match and 120 minutes after to allow for delays and uploading of results.

Website HTML and CSS validates, so it should be fine if your browser is reasonably current and respects the standards. Tests fine on recent Mac browsers: iCab [validates it], Safari, Camino, Shiira, Firefox, Opera and even IE-Mac 5.2.3 but not Vs.4 browsers. Nestcape 4 users on Mac OS 7.1-9.x should use iCab. Win-IE 6 should use a more secure and standards-compliant Firefox.
1.0a Feb 17, 2006 First Public Release.
  • Added pull up list to select timezone after flitering out non-existing timezones for the match calendar period. If your timezone isn't there, you don't exist or you're bucking the daylight savings program!
  • Identified bugs fixed; Couch Potato Comments tweaked.
  • Read the Read Me just in case.
n/a Feb 10, 2006 Website uploaded for testing. Calendar matches spreadsheet calendar message. Clock seems to work too. W3C compliant CSS & HTML 4.01 transitional.
.b9 Feb 02, 2006 Private Release — bugs found:
  • Message requested null rank for 1-1 ties
  • SemiFinal 1 picked wrong team from previous match
  • Wrong goal counts in group awards/raspberries
  • Tweaks required for half-timezone (Adelaide?) entries.
