# Updates

**November 21, 2024**

- **Analyzer Enhancements**: Improved the analyzer to evaluate draws based on sufficient data points within each draw class.

- **Chart Display Logic**: Added logic to conditionally display charts only when there are enough data points.

- **Error Handling**: Revamped error handling mechanisms across the application for better reliability.

# Todo

## Logs

- [x] Add creation of local log files for metrics tracking (Daily log files in a log folder) -> Function is there, but can't log in heroku without using add-ons or something like AWS S3

  

## Draws

- [x] Consider changing from polling to webhook for lower server usage

- [x] Draw report

- [x] Filter draws by class

- [x] Specify occupations part of the draw

- [ ] Add link to the draw 

- [ ] Add scheduled db upload of most recent draws, and replace the bot message with a query to the db instead of a scrape

  

## Analyzer

- [ ] Evaluate the accuracy of the rolling average

## News

- [x] Add press meeting news and other relevant news

- [ ] Change /latest_speech to only show the current month news

## Chart

- [x] Improve chart headline to include specific draw class

- [x] Improve styling of chart (red primary color)

## Test Branches

- [x] FAQ Menu feat/faqmenu

- [x] Search news by keyword feat/menusearch
