Due to some really great users there are already zero exceptions that needs voting. So I will enable the scheduled job sending PMs when it's needed. Also, now when the exceptions are in place I could test the scheduled job that automatically disables faulty checker tags. It found one tag, it was a crap tag on a traditional. So that seems correct. Upon next release I will enable both scby magma1447 - Challenge checker exceptions

There are still two scheduled jobs that are disabled, one of them is the one sending PMs to users to vote. I am waiting a few days to see if I get any negative feedback on my purges/cleansing. The other job disables checker tags that it believes shouldn't exist. Right now it's matching a lot of tags. I need to figure out why.

The Challenge Exceptions page was removed when the new attributes arrived. Two primary reasons. 1) The code needed to be re-adjusted to be based on the attribute instead of type+name. 2) We were hoping that HQ would handle the attribute well enough to stick to only that. Regarding #2, it doesn't seem like it's enough and we are bring back the exception list. This has taken some timby magma1447 - Challenge checker exceptions
There is some automatic logic affecting the content of the list. We just forgot to remove the scheduled job sending PMs when removing the page. PS! The page is coming back, today.by magma1447 - Challenge checker exceptions
I would like to discuss GC316Z3 - My Personal Top Ten - Challenge Cache Under the header/title "Aufgabe" (Mission) the text starts with "Finde mindestens 10 Caches" (Find at least 10 caches). Then the text goes on starting with the word "Quatsch" (poppycock).

I concur, HQ must have run their script. A day ago Project-GC had ~20,000 geocaches with the Challenge-attribute. Now there are 37,109. With this we will release some code that has been waiting for this. Code that uses the attribute to decide if it's a challenge or not.by magma1447 - Checker news
Project-GC often receives feedback from color blind persons. Parts of Project-GC has been adapted and there is a user setting to enable Color Blind Mode. I have now added that flag to the LUA engine as well, it's available in args[1].environmentSettings.colorBlind I just updated one of my scripts to look like this: if args[1].environmentSettings.colorBlind then taby magma1447 - Checker news
I have refreshed all Challenges (determined in the old ways) in Project-GC manually a few times since the new attribute release, to make sure the attribute ends up in Project-GC faster. Currently there are 14346 geocaches with the new attribute according to Project-GC. Out of 37157 by Project-GC defined Challenges.

The image links above links to images that are 80x80 (.png). The images you probably have in the old list is 30x30 (.gif). For some reason HQ hasn't rendered 30x30 gif images for the new ones. I will inform them of this today. There is a function in the Geocaching Live API to fetch all attributes, that returns image links as well, which doesn't work. :) Using the png files is solvablby magma1447 - Checker news
Target hasn't been active in a long time (years), sadly. But if you have a code snippet that's corrected, feel free to throw it in here. I am considering and looking into have more of a source controlled environment for both scripts and tags. It would help both with examples, and then there are changes in PGC or GCCOM that requires editing a lot. It could also help with getting niby magma1447 - Script development

There aren't images for the new attributes available yet. Until there is, which hopefully is later today, I will use the Cactus icon, since that attribute is obsolete.by magma1447 - Checker news
Later today there will be new attributes released on Geocaching.com. Please keep it secret until they are published at Geocaching.com. We haven't been allowed to announce it until today, otherwise we would have, since it potentially can have been relevant for new Challenges. There are five new attributes in pipeline.

Quote from a user: "On a little bit of a separate subject, Alaska now has a new borough (county). Valdez-Cordova no longer exists as it was divided into 2 new census areas called Chugach and Copper River."by magma1447 - Checker news
I am currently running an update on polygon data for USA. Two years newer data, but there isn't a single name change or added/removed polygons. The reason I did it is because (at least) one county has been split in two. But our source doesn't have the change yet. Next year maybe.by magma1447 - Checker news

During this process I did a screwup. I updated all tag configs to the same (and a broken string). A backup has now been restored. Only lost one change. A newly created tag. I'll look into that. UPDATE: The lost tag has been recreated.by magma1447 - Checker news

From what I can see there is nothing wrong with the script itself, but some of the tags needs to be adjusted. From what I can see there are two affected tags, I can fix those. https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC8G93J/46763 { "attr" : ["NOT Difficult climbing"] } will update to { "attr" : ["NOT Difficult climb"] } https://project-gc.com/Challenges/by magma1447 - Checker news
I'll look into this in 1-2 weeks. There are a few upstream changes coming "soon". These attributes should never exist as negative by the way.
