What’s new in meshO Manager 2026.11.13

Reading the start box is one click, results go on your club’s website as a web page, and the commentary feed is kept all day for every screen. This post covers 2026.11.11 as well.

meshO Manager 2026.11.13.1 is out. It comes two days after 2026.11.11.1, which didn’t get a post of its own, so this one covers both. Updating to 2026.11.13.1 gets you everything here.

What’s in this release, on three slips.

1. The start box in one click

Once everyone has started, the start or check unit’s memory is the record of who went out. On the SportIdent station screen, put the unit on the reader with the coupling rod and click Read and apply. Manager reads the whole memory, applies every punch from today, and tells you what it did in a few sentences. Every runner it names is a link.

A card that nobody was entered on used to be added as “Unknown”, so the name had to be typed again when they downloaded. Now, if the competitor registry knows the card belongs to one person, they’re added with their name, club and Eventor ID. A hire card, or a card the registry doesn’t know, is still added as Unknown. Click it when they come in and pick their name.

The SportIdent station screen: the connected reader, a Station clock box with Set to PC time, Clear memory and Read time, and a Station memory box with a Read and apply button. Below it: Applied 8 records. Added 3 runners nobody had entered: Ana Barros, David Butler, card 8100003. Card 8100003 was added as Unknown. Under Who is accounted for, 6 competitors have no record of starting and 1 competitor is still out, each with a Review button. — Two runners named from the registry, and one card to name when they come in.

Then, under Who is accounted for, click Review beside the competitors with no record of starting, and mark them DNS. If you’d rather pick the records yourself, Read and choose records… is still there.

When a card is used for two runs, each run now gets its own start and check record, so a start punch for the second run no longer lands on the first.

2. Results as a web page

Results → Publish → Export HTML… downloads the results as a single web page that you can upload to your club’s website. You get the same choices as for the PDF, plus two more:

Include splits adds a column for each control. Each cell has the time since the start over the leg time, with the runner’s rank for each. A green time means they were leading at that control, a blue leg is the fastest, and a red outline marks a costly mistake.
Your own style sheet links your website’s styles instead of meshO’s. All of meshO’s styles are in one block at the top of the page, so you can copy them as a starting point.

The page switches to dark colours on a phone or computer set to dark mode.

An exported results page in a browser: Results by class for the City Sprint Championships, links to M21E, W21E, M20 and Open, and the M21E table with Place, Name, Club, Behind and Time, then a column for each of four controls and the finish, each cell holding two times with ranks, the leaders in green and the fastest legs in blue. — The exported page, with splits.

3. Commentary kept all day, on every screen

Each Commentary screen used to build its feed in the browser, so a screen opened halfway through the event started empty. Now Manager keeps the feed for every live event, whether or not a Commentary screen is open. You can open the screen late, reload it, or move to another computer, and the whole feed so far is there. Click Show earlier to read further back. The feed stays with the event, so you can read the whole day back afterwards.

The Action stream on the spectator site and the kiosk now shows Commentary’s own cards, with the runner’s flag, club logo, club and bib. Runners who start together show as one start wave card. On the kiosk, Commentary’s class list runs down the left, and the kiosk no longer goes back to its home screen after the idle timeout while it’s showing the Action stream.

The kiosk's Action stream: the Classes list on the left with M21E, M20 and Open marked Done and W21E at 1 of 2, and on the right a card each for four finishes and a start, with the runner's class, time, flag and club, and a Start wave card at 10:00:00 naming the runners who went out. — The kiosk’s Action stream, with Commentary’s class list.

4. Punches from ROC radio controls

Some radio controls send their punches to a server on the internet rather than to a computer at the event. Manager can now fetch them from ROC (Radio Online Control) and from OResults’ Bluebox radios, which work the same way.

Add your units once, in Settings → Radio punches → ROC radio controls. Switch on Use ROC radio controls there if your events usually use them, and each new event starts with all your units. For each event, check that Fetch punches from ROC is on under Event details → Radio controls.

While the event is live, Manager asks the server for new punches every ten seconds, so the computer running it needs an internet connection. ROC punches appear on the Radio punches page and count exactly like Prime’s. The dashboard’s ROC radio controls tile shows each unit, and says why if one isn’t answering.

Event details, Radio controls: meshO Prime on, Accept SIRAP punches off, Fetch punches from ROC on, and ROC unit ids Start, Spectator control and 4711. — Switch ROC on for the event, then watch the units on the dashboard.

The ROC radio controls tile: two units Polling with 214 and 97 punches, and unit 4711 Not answering because roc.olresultat.se answered with error 500. — Switch ROC on for the event, then watch the units on the dashboard.

5. A skip allowance for each part of a course

Some courses let you miss one control on each side of the map. On the Controls tab of Edit course, click between two controls in the strip to split the course there. Each section then has its own Skip any and Never two in a row, so a runner can’t use both sides’ skips on one side. Click the same place again to join the sections.

Sections go by position on the course, not by control code. To start the second section at the 13th control, click between 12 and 13. A control marked faulty, or marked as visited on the Overrides tab, doesn’t use up a skip.

The Controls tab of Edit course: the course's 23 controls in a numbered strip, split by a line between 12 and 13, then a Start to 12 row and a 13 to the finish row, each allowing 1 control to be skipped, with Never two in a row unticked. — One skip from the start to 12, and one more from 13 to the finish.

Also in this release

A hire card for one event. Add and Edit Competitor have a hire-card switch beside Card number, for a card borrowed for the day without adding it to your hire-card pool. Hire cards now travel with the event, too: restore a backup on another computer and they’re still marked.
Class pickers. Every class picker and class list follows the order set in Classes → Sort order. On Card downloads, clicking into a class box selects the class already in it, so what you type replaces it. That’s why a class sometimes seemed to be missing from the list. Class for this run lists Classes that fit this card above All classes.
Link to this person. When Add competitor warns of a possible duplicate on the same card that isn’t linked to anyone, such as an Unknown from the start box, Link to this person puts the registry person on that entry instead of adding them twice.
SRR Auto-send. Station configuration’s batch mode can now set Auto-send. A BSF8-SRR sends ordinary card punches over its radio only with Auto-send on. Send the last punch is for SIAC air punches. The docs now have a table of what to turn on.
ANNE. Organisers in Austria can create an event from ANNE, the Austrian federation’s entry portal, import its classes and entries, and upload start lists and results. Eventor and ANNE are now together under Settings → Event providers.
Extensions keep running. A dashboard-tile extension, such as an on-the-day entries sheet, now keeps working while you’re on other pages, not just on the dashboard.
Fixes. An event dated today could show as past in western time zones, and couldn’t be started. Events created from Eventor, as a stage of a multi-stage event or as a knock-out round now take their auto-backup settings from Settings. Event screens other than the dashboard no longer have a blank strip down the right edge. A missed control’s chip is now in the same colour as MP.

Getting it

Manager tells you when a new version is out: press Update now on the notice in the bottom-right corner. The notice waits while an event is live, so it won’t interrupt a race. If you’re new to Manager, it’s on the downloads page. Updating in the docs covers automatic updates too. The details of each change are in the Manager docs:
