Public Release of FMRD-Desktop 1.3.0
Howard Hamilton
implements the FMRD for club teams.
FMRD-Desktop is a Qt-based GUI application that facilitates data entry
into the Football Match Result Database (FMRD). The FMRD maintains
match result data relevant to club and national teams in order to
support football (soccer) analytics research and development.
There are two major changes in the application. First, the FMRD now
captures overview data that correspond to the three phases of football
competitions: league, group, and knockout. Second, a
SQLite-compatible implementation of the FMRD has been added to the
current PostgreSQL implementation.
The following is a list of changes made to the package since the
previous tagged version:
