Change History Run.GPS Trainer, Run.GPS Analyzer

• keep system from hanging when the waypoints list contains a waypoint with undefined name

1.2.8 build 255 06/29/2007

• do not allow "*" and "%" as user ID characters - not supported by file system - done

• when having multiple users in the system, Run.GPS Analyzer sometimes displays reports for ALL users instead the selected one - fixed

1.2.4 build 182 04/04/2007

• allow capital letter suffixes for map image files - done

• add live tracking capability - done

• disallow using german umlaute, spaces and special characters as user name - done

• increase timeout when uploading training data (WLAN or GPRS connections often need some time to build up) - open issue: timeout already has a high value but the internet connection does not always build up automatically; probably there is no way to improve that behaviour

• don't say "distance from road" when user navigates only by waypoint - it just doesn't make sense

• in configuration dialog: when you change user name and then push cancel, cancel is not processed - fixed

• ignore any pauses shorter then 5 seconds as they might be due to a short GPS signal interruptance - done

• total descent/ascent too low when going at slow speeds (bug in elevation computer) - fixed
