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.
