Patch update

We're still working hard on the next update for iGP Manager, though unfortunately we are delaying release. There are several reasons for this, some of which are good for the future of iGP.

The good news entails business developments that provide iGP with a platform to branch out in to more forms of motorsport in future. Until contracts are in place I can't be any more specific about the terms or scope of the arrangements but I can tell you that we are all excited about them.

We also had an unanticipated setback in June with a database rollback. Development energy that week was redirected in to ensuring that a seamless service was maintained, rather than developing new features. The rollback was brought about by routine maintenance going awry. Essentially it was a human error, something all companies have to live with and build strong safety nets for. Thankfully the fallout from such events is minimal with a strong backup system. It's containing and minimizing the butterfly effect from such events which consumes time. Based on experience, we're building a better system to manage these situations after they occur in future. Once that is in place, a lot more of that work can be handled automatically, rather than manually.

The combined effect of all of the above has led us to delay the release of this update. The extra time will allow us to thoroughly complete and test the upgrades and new features before deploying them on the public service.

Hi. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can we get an updated release date for the patch? Even if it is 'Not before November' at least we'd know! Also, the Java update has caught several people short - were you forced to upgrade. Unfortunately it has broken the 2D viewer etc for my Mac as I run Chrome on Snow Leopard :o( so I had no control over the race :o(

2D management will not be available through mobile devices. On the Window's Surface Pro it does work. Otherwise, you will need to wait for the generation of tablets which have Developer Applications (like java) and then you can run 2D from your phone/tablet in it's browser. In the meantime, it would have to be an app and the main priority is to work on the browser 2D first, considering it will work on tablets through browser soon, an app for iGP would be pointless.

Update: Beta Testing is underway, but the testing is proving a long one, mind though that the new features are the biggest overhaul to the game since launch and requires alot of ironing out. In the meantime, work on your strategies, get a feel for running numbers and go on scoring titles and reputation :)
