We reached 1000+ replays. Thank you everyone.

Should I split the replay pallas between 0 A.D. versions ?

Wow cool.
I don't see why off the top of my head? Then the chance of getting value for a player is reduced. On the other hand, doesn't further differentiation mean not getting value for a player who hasn't played for a long time? It depends on how it is implemented programmatically.

It would just be two replay website.

It is not the case for A27, but in the future it may happen that a new 0 A.D. version will change the metadata.json replay file structure, f.e. adding, removing or replacing data. Then, LocalRatings will need to update its logic too, to reflect the new metadata structure. In other words, future replays may not be compatible with today's replays - at least from data extraction perspective.

There is also one more consideration: the "interpretation" of ratings may be different from version to version, due to balance adjustments and gameplay changes. For example, a parameter that was relevant in A26 may not be relevant in A27 anymore and viceversa. So the interpretation of ratings would change too.

For these two reasons, I am in favour of distinguishing the two versions.

yes true. maybe only for the end summary (as fallback, when a player has no game already in last version)
