**Statistics & Results Overhaul:**

- We have started including competition/ladder matches to be mixed with your Public matches
  - This required us to re-calculate wins, losses, quits, records such as wpm, exp, etc
- All statistics have been re-calcuated from the beginning of time
  - We have also added a "Reconcile" service to help assure the quality and accuracy of data
    - This will re-calculate all of your records and other statistics that you see on your profile.
    - Experience and Playtime are already being measured in competition/ladder matches, so we did not touch these (we may later on though)
  - This system may have some flaws in the beginning, and we are fine tuning it as we go along
  - If you feel your data is incorrect such as your highest wpm record, let us know so we can investigate it for accuracy.
  - Expect your data to be changed and different, this doesn't always mean it is incorrect.

**Performance Point System:**

- We have started the early process of this system.
- All texts have been assigned a difficulty rating
- All matches (including old results from 2020/2021) have been recalculated to have a performance point
  - All future matches do this as well - and again, this is for public and competition/ladder matches.
- The next plan is to reflect the frontend to use this new measurement as a permanent solution
- For now though, the hard part is mostly done

Removed Deprecated Features/Functionality:
- Ranked leaderboards and all data has been removed (this was deprecated a month or so ago)
- Career Points and all data has been removed (being replaced with Performance Point system)
  
**Other Changes:**

- Refactored leaderboard logic to be a bit cleaner, we're still performing some optimizations on this though.
- Refactored Game End logic to be slightly cleaner, this should hopefully give a slight boost in performance.
- Added better debugging between Database and Socket communication, this will help us give even more performance increases in the future.

**Expected Changes in the Future:**

- Database optimizations to increase overall performance
- Frontend cleanup to reduce memory usage for users
- Better integration with Typing Stats
- Moving Statistics to Players Collection (eliminate `playerStatistics`)
