Release 2.9.5.2

A new version of TheBetEngine has just been released.

Due to changes in the info files used by TBE, you are advised to upgrade at the end of the day (after racing has completed).

To update manually, you should follow these simple instructions:

1. Close down the existing copy of TheBetEngine (if it is running).
2. Wait 1 minute (to allow all files to be saved) then reboot your machine to ensure that no errant processes are still running.
3. Download the new release from http://www.thebetengine.co.uk/downloads ... .9.5.2.exe
4. Double-click on the newly-downloaded file to start the installation (you can safely install this version on top of the existing version)

Additions
1. Added filters for Day/Evening races (horses only) to General/Advanced
2. New Post-Selection plugin - NoNonRunners (the number of runners equals the number of declared runners)
3. New Post-Selection plugin - NonRunnerRange (the number of non-runners falls within a given range)
4. New Race Processing plugin - RaceGenderChecks (checks gender composition of races)
5. Added a few new race types
6. Added option to General/Limits to treat a winning selection as a win (regardless of whether the race overall makes a profit or a loss)
7. Due to changes in the way that Betfair handles bets that result in a zero liability, an option has been added to General/Advanced2 to set the odds at which the initial bet in a below-Betfair minimum lay bet is placed. It used to always place bets at 1.01 but this will result in a zero liability bet if the stake is too low.

Fixes
1. Roll-up of a few hotfixes

Notes
1. As this release included new race types, any systems that are filtered on race types will need to be revisited to add the types just added. Race Types are added/excluded via the Events tab.

If you decide to upgrade at the start of the day, or whilst there are still races to run on a particular day, then please be aware of the following.

Version 2.9.5.2 requires some slightly modified info files. These files are downloaded at the start of each day.

If an older version of TBE has already been running on the day that you decide to upgrade, then the old-format info files will have already been downloaded and you may find that, when you have installed the new version, no races are shown in the race grid.

To fix this:

1. Click on the Settings menu
2. Go to the Diagnostics tab
3. Click on Clear Today's Info Files
4. Click on Save
5. Restart TBE

An issue has been identified where the no. of units specified for a bet are not being respected (bets are always placed with a single unit).

A fix has been identified and a new release is imminent.
