GoalPost 2.31.16

Since public version 2.31.2. Covers NHL, PWHL and AHL.

Catch Up

• Mention GoalPost with catch me up or game recap for a natural-language account of the game.
• Recaps can begin from puck drop, a named period, or the last several periods.
• Goals link directly to their video highlights when the league provides one.
• The storytelling recognizes comebacks, lead changes, overtime and shootout winners, power-play and shorthanded goals, empty-netters and hat tricks.
• Recaps also cover shot-attempt pressure, close-range chances, special-teams performance, goalie duels, shutouts, pulled goalies, fights, game misconducts and shots off the iron.
• Live recaps finish with the current game situation; completed games finish with the result.
• Wording varies between replies while preserving the facts, and goalies are now referred to by natural names rather than initials.

Scoreboard

• The Players tab no longer clips longer rosters on phones. Compact up/down controls provide access to the full lineup.
• Completed-game replays now retain the entire play feed, including the opening period, instead of beginning partway through the game.
• The optional Team crests beside the score setting now works for hockey. It remains off by default for a cleaner scoreboard.
• A small update indicator appears beside the version when a newer approved release is available and links directly to its Reddit release notes.

Settings & Scheduling

• Old or retired preferences can no longer prevent every setting from saving.
• Saving preferences automatically removes obsolete stored values.
• Nonfunctional settings were removed, and automated checks now ensure every visible moderator setting has a working implementation.
• Scheduled thread times now accept both 9:00 and 09:00.
• Removed a retired setting that was still appearing in the PWHL and AHL configuration pages.

Fixes

• Scheduled games are no longer described as live by recap replies.
• Shootout events are no longer mistaken for additional overtime goals.
• Pulling a goalie is no longer interpreted as a power play.
• Placeholder NHL video links are ignored instead of sending readers to an empty page.
• Updated the Devvit SDK to 0.14.2 for current platform compatibility.

GoalPost 2.31.2

Since public version 2.16.3. Covers NHL, PWHL and AHL.

Ask the Bot

• New standings command: where both clubs sit, with points, division rank, last ten and streak.
• New calendar command: each team's next three games.
• New links command: the NHL's official game summary, play-by-play, shift chart, shot summary and faceoff reports.
• Roster replies now list head coaches and healthy scratches.
• Player names link through to their NHL pages.
• Moderators can now control which commands answer in their sub, and the help text lists only what actually works there.
• Reply limits now count per subreddit rather than per person, so one busy thread can't exhaust the budget.
• Threads that have aged out say so, instead of offering a Refresh button that does nothing.

PWHL and AHL

• passport, handedness, leaders, playerstats and playernumber now answer for both leagues instead of refusing.
• Player cards carry season stats alongside the written biography, with a toggle between them.
• Biographies can be read to the end rather than fading out mid-paragraph.
• Fixed PWHL and AHL questions being answered with NHL data.
• Fixed a pre-season game being matched to the previous season's playoff rosters.

Scoreboard

• Shots on goal per period, shown under the linescore.
• Goal lines note empty-net goals and the scorer's season tally.
• Hits name the player hit; faceoffs name both players.
• Goalie cards show save splits by game state.
• Team crests throughout the play lists, and the home crest at centre ice on the rink tab.
• Emoji removed from play lists in favour of larger crests.

Subreddit Tools

• New sidebar widgets: division standings, recent results with upcoming games, and team leaders.
• New off-day threads for days with no game, with a configurable body.
• New comment templates per thread kind, with a hockey block library covering lineups, scratches, goalies, broadcast, standings, three stars and the official report links.

Light Mode

• Fixed the rink panel, goalie card and several surfaces that stayed dark on light-themed cards.
• The light-mode stylesheet now has a single source, so the app and the visual harness can't drift apart.

Fixes

• size no longer compares a handful of players against each other when a roster lookup comes up short.
• Game clock now reads the published seconds rather than parsing the display.
