I had asked Dmitry
to send this to Jane and Rodney for testing, but on reflection it is probably
worth a general announcement.
This release uses
the new GEMS v2 upload protocol. The Poll Book and Ballot Station now
transfer ballot images as well as results. The ballot images are
needed for write-in and challenge results, plus ballot auditing. You
should also find that the time to build results on the TS has been
improved. Please give me some feedback on this. The download
protocol and ballot station files are compatible with previous 3-10
releases. It is only upload (transfer results) that has changed. In
short, you don't have to upgrade the ballot station to take advantage of the new
upload; just the poll book.
The GEMS Ballot
Audit view is complete; there is a new menu item "Ballot Audit" for
this. It displays paper ballots with filled ovals of the results
from the AccuVote-TS. Upload and download have now been combined into
one server according to protocol major version. Use the v1
server for 1.94 AccuVote upload/download, and use v2 server for the
AccuVote-TS upload/download. TS upload should now behave much like
the old AccuVote upload did. The list view now tracks those machines that
have uploaded, and you need to reset the machine or election on the server
before you can re-upload. The regional result server is no longer used for
AccuVote-TS results.
Please
give this a good run around the block and submit any bug reports.
There are some rough edges with the AV servers, but it otherwise is looking
pretty good so far.
