SportsTracker

PolarViewer now supports Polar F6 monitors and percentual heart rate ranges. Internal SportsTracker refactorings have reduced the source code and improved the performance and memory usage. A new Polish translation has been contributed. This release also contains many bugfixes and usability improvements.

Equipment support was added for sport types (e.g.
which bike or shoes). The Exercise dialog was
redesigned with a simpler interface and the
ability to copy a comment from previous. Optical
improvements were made in the calendar view. A
picker widget was added for date selection. A
weeks per year graph was added in the Overview
dialog. Most of the translations have also been
updated.

The exercise parsers now use a new interface and dynamic loading. New parser implementations can be added easily like plugins. The file chooser now remembers the last chosen directory. Most of the libraries were updated and all known bugs were fixed. Performance tips were included in the readme file for Linux users (client JVM mode).

The main change is the port of the complete application from C# to Java. Installation via Java WebStart is much easier, and all the Mono dependency problems are gone. The user no longer needs to compile the application by himself. All the diagrams are using JFreeChart now, so they can now be zoomed, printed, or exported to images. The performance problems in the exercise list view are gone. All translations have been created once again (Basque, Czech, Danish, Dutch, French, German, and Spanish) because of the Java port.

This release contains bugfixes for showing the
PolarViewer graph on recent Linux distributions
and the HRM parser now supports Polar S510 files.
The Czech translation has also been updated.
