January 2026

New features

• A new data residency region is now available in the United Arab Emirates. This brings the total number of supported regions to six.
• Tables can now be used in multi-line text fields, allowing entrants, judges and managers to format content in a structured layout. Ideal for judging panels and other tabled content.
• A new API endpoint is now available to delete judging tasks, allowing managers to remove tasks that are no longer required or were created by mistake.

Improvements

• AI fields now apply a default model automatically, simplifying configuration steps.
• Keyboard navigation has been improved across multiple areas, including the user profile colour selector, tag input on the manager view and several other elements that could not previously be reached using the keyboard tab key.
• Guest voting has been removed to improve voting integrity. Guests can still view the voting page but must sign in or register to vote.
• Remaining instances of the legacy editor have been replaced with the new text editor in notification descriptions, field hint and help text.
