Rifle Target: Rifle Shooting Database v2.5 is a consolidation release, building upon the base of v2.0 while providing significant usabiity and speed improvements. Particular changes include: - Free upgrade for existing users
- New trial period: if you trialled Rifle Target 2.0, trial version 2.5 for another 30 days
- Full Windows Vista Support
- Run Rifle Target as a normal user under Windows Vista. File permissions are correctly set and auto folder redirection will not occur.
- Uses Windows Vista visual styles
- New, high resolution product icons
- Vastly improved database performance
- New in-memory database system - remove file read/write performance penalties that occurred for every record
- Re-written target drawing module
- No flickering on resize
- Smooth, anti-aliased, full resolution targets
- 'Nicer' set of shot plot colours
- Better handling of differing scoring methodologies:
- Supports disciplines that use half-point scoring, or any values outside of 1-10, 'V' and 'X'
- A score can now consists of a major and minor component (each a floating point number) and a display (any character or string)
- Improved and corrected statistical display:
- New (correct) covering circle algorithm. Cover Circle displayed directly on the target.
- Correct calculation of best/worst shooter/range/form (calculates mean of all records of each type). Version 2.0 merely picked the absolute best/worst
- Statistic calculation now only uses complete records to generate statistics - prevents statistical anomalies that may appear when dealing with partially completed records.
- Statistic generation improvement improved dramatically as a result of new database system
- Graphical statistics: window resizable to allow better display of statistics
- Graphical statistics: calculated on the correct range for each record (Version 2.0 normalises onto a single range, producing anomalous results)
- Shooter plot: improved performance (in line with new database system) and correct display of the Cover Circle (in line with new covering circle algorithm)
