Updates and Bug Fixes

 

Version 4.20

 

·         When posting performances out to the PerfPRO website, reports now include a button so you can share your report in Facebook. Seems sharing workouts within Facebook has become more popular so PerfPRO will accommodate this. This option can be turned off by going into options then going into the Reports tab.

 

·         When maps for your ride are available, PerfPRO will now include them when posting reports to the web. You’ll find an embedded Google® map at the bottom of your report. This option can be turned off by going into options then going into the Reports tab.

 

·         When creating new manual workouts, PerfPRO now prompts you after saving to see if you want to create another workout that follows this one. This makes it easier/less time consuming to enter the correct times for a workout that follows another.

 

·         When creating new manual workouts, PerfPRO gives you the option to open the performance analyzer after the workout is created. If this option is not checked (the default) then it is automatically saved to your race log using the currently selected rider. This can speed up the manual entry process and not have a lot of windows open.

 

·         Dramatically improved load time for Garmin TCX or FIT file formats. FIT files especially, now load up much quicker.

 

·         When power is available, Calories and Work are now calculated based on Normalized Power (NP) when NP is available. Otherwise these two values are based on average watts. This yields more accurate values for these two stats. For performances that do not have power stats, but calories exist then the calories value is used as is.

 

·         Updated the ERG Editor to allow grouping of steps. For example, instead of having nine steps that represent three sets of three steps you can now indicate how many steps then mark those three steps as grouped. See image below. The first step in the group indicates how many sets should occur for this grouping. You then use the “Group” column to mark the steps that should be grouped together. The steps have to proceed each other. Any step with more than 1 set indicates a new group.

 

 

 

·         Bug Fix: When loading Garmin .FIT files the max speed was not always correct and showing ludicrous speeds. This has been fixed.

 

·         Bug Fix: If a Garmin TCX file has sporadic latitude/longitude information at the beginning of the file then the elevation adjustment feature sometimes tries to download an SRTM file that does not exist. Also, in this case the 3DC file that gets generated may not have the correct road curves. This has been corrected.

 

 

Version 4.15

 

·         Added a Grid View option when analyzing performances via a workout file, lap data, or the “Starting At” option along with the “Interval” option checked. This gives the user a quick glance at what was done in each step or lap. Within the Analyze tab a “Grid View” button appears. When one of the interval type analysis options are checked the “Grid View” button becomes available. Press this bottom to see a grid view display of your laps/sets.

 

·         Added an audible “beep” to the ERG/MRC Workout Player when counting down and showing various statuses. The beeping occurs through your soundcard so if you have headphones on or speakers attached you should hear the beeping to alert you to be ready for the next step.

 

·         Bug Fix: Found a couple more issues with the Garmin files when the recorded frequency was sparse. This has been addressed though you may find wattage information slightly off by 1 or 2 watts from a PowerTap file due to Garmin’s inconsistent frequency of data. More research is being done.

 

·         Bug Fix: When loading a PerfPRO Transfer File (*.ppro), not all uncommon sport types would get moved over from one machine to the other. This has been fixed.
