Parsertime v1.2 - Now with support for Juno! 👩‍🚀

Welcome to Season 12! A new season brings a new update for Parsertime. This update is a minor update with a few changes for stability of the app. We're also adding support for Juno, the newest Overwatch support hero.

Why a minor update?

There's a few reasons why this update is considerably smaller than v1.1. Our engineering team has other responsibilities. I work full time and have needed to spend most of July taking care of my loved ones. Our other primary contributor, Kenny, is still learning web dev (although he's picking it up very quickly!). As a result, we haven't been able to push changes as fast as we would like to do. However, our next update should be more substantial. I am able to focus more on programming and have some planned features for v1.3.

There's another major reason we haven't pushed many changes for Parsertime. Blizzard removed one of the settings necessary for users to enable support for log generation within the gameplay settings. They are aware of the issue and are reportedly looking into it, but there is no ETA on a fix. We're focusing more on stability and improving existing features over adding new ones. We'll post an update in our Discord server when a fix is released.

Finally, we are working on some new apps as well! We can't provide too many details just yet, but we're currently in the R&D phase on some tools for ranked players and additional tools for coaches. Updates to come!

Known Issues

• Incorrect time is displayed for average time to use ultimate (fix in progress)
• Kiriko's ultimates charged statistic is lower than her ultimates used - this is due to a bug within the Workshop code.
