I am back from my vacation and have already unleashed quite a few code pushes.  I am inching closer to the major feature release that could happen by the end of this month.  Hope you guys have been enjoying the site in my absence.  Now, the updates:

• Major bug fix to the trade analyzer while I was on vacation.  Thanks to the emails that reported it.
• Yet to be announced new feature has been designed & sliced into HTML and ready for implementation. (You should be excited)
• NFL fantasy league updating disabled until August.
• Various updates to the NBA rosters and statistical fixes for player stats.
• Billing page bug fixes to increase speed.
• Users now automatically emailed invoice when their bill is due.
• Google Plus button added.

Happy new year folks.  I am sure when the clock struck 12 you were thinking about these weekly release notes.  Well, I’d hate to disappoint. . .

I’ve heard loud and clear that you guys want a way to have your team analyzed in a way to bring out suggestions and improvements for your team.  That is what I am working on currently and hope to have something out by the end of this month.  This is just as big, (or bigger) than revamping the billing process.  Right now a basic framework exists where the magic will happen, but lots more needs to be done.  From this point on, expect small bug fixes to existing features until the new feature is released.

Also, I am due for a vacation at the end of the week which will mean taking time off from coding.  As a developer, this is good thing so I keep my sanity intact.  But rest assured once I come back I will push onward to get new features out the door.  Now, onto the release notes:

• Lou Williams properly syncs via Yahoo and his stats are now available. (Thanks afrlol)
• Small tweaks to billing page
• Initial work has begun on a yet to be named big feature that I wish I could show you. 🙂

Hope everyone who celebrates Christmas had a great holiday weekend.  This weeks changes are focused on the relaunch of our billing page and upgrade process.  It is now streamlined and much easier.  You have two subscription options: monthly or yearly.  There is also a nice breakdown on the billing page that shows which subscription plan is right for you and what exactly it includes.  This is a GIANT leap forward compared to what we had before.

So why the new billing page?  In 2012, FantasySP is going to focus on cool and useful features to help manage your fantasy team.  Most of these planned features will be limited to users with subscriptions.  To celebrate the coming year, we are offering a 25% off coupon code for you to use.  Enter “holiday” at checkout to get 25% off.

Now for the complete list of changes:

• Completely revamped billing page and upgrade process (Nearly 3 weeks in the making)
• New buttons in your User Panel showcase what membership you currently have
• Bug fix to Player Alert emails and the addition of email link tracking
• NBA stats now reflect the 2011/2012 season

Did you lose in your fantasy football league? Ah yes, as did I.  But fear not, NBA season is upon us and soon MLB will be right around the corner to hold you over until next football season.

This weeks release notes are basically non-existent because I am still not yet ready to announce what I have been working on.  However, I do plan to have it finished by the end of this week.  Expect a blog post and a special surprise to bring in the new year. Stay tuned!

This release is a little light as much of the work this week is put towards something new that I am not yet ready to release. Stay tuned, as I expect it to be done within the next two weeks.

Here are the remaining changes:

• Mobile Fantasy Spotlight Revamped.  Instead of the “Top 3” on mobile it is now referred to as Spotlight to keep things in sync with the desktop version.  It also includes a brief summary on each player
• The Florida Marlins are now the Miami Marlins
• Podslice integration added to NFL player pages.  Podslice finds podcasts from ESPN, CBS, etc and cuts to the part about each specific player.
• Bugfix for duplicate ESPN transactions (thanks wtappp)
• Player Trends are now red
• Fantasy Team Ratings bugfix for the graph of “full roster” (thanks Alex)
