Alpha2... delay...

I am sorry to announce that due to other things i had to do Alpha 2 release has been postponed to next week.

Meanwhile, i will fix some more bugs...

New releases are almost ready!

I have good news for you all...

Track@Way 1.2.9 is being released as i write, as usual wait for a week for the Nokia Store release while supporters will receive the update shortly.

Track@Way 1.2.9 includes the long-requested capability to export calibration data to Ozi Explorer format! You can then import your maps to Track@Way 2.0 ALPHA easier.

Also, Track@Way 2.0 ALPHA2 (aka 1.9.2) is going to be released very soon, maybe tomorrow if latest tests will be ok? Lots and lots of news on this release... but wait tomorrow for the announcement!

More on Alpha2...

Hey all!
good news. Lots of things got into Alpha2! Basially, most of all your suggestions so far.

What will be missing from Alpha 2 is:
- navigation
- on-line tiles manager

So stay tuned...

Status of Alpha2

Most of the things for Alpha2 are there. I am fine touching the now raster maploading code, which is a bit slower but let you load _ANY_ common raster format (jpg, png, tif, gif, svg, mng, xpm, etc etc).

Stay tuned, something moremight end up in Alpha2.

I have good news.

At the moment Alpha2 is progressing well.

- GoBreadcrumbs now works again
- Track statistics and graphic is back (albeit not definitive yet)
- Couple of serious bugs (and memory leaks) fixed
- landscape layout now works much better
- Cartographic Table layout has been improved
- Much more!

So stay tuned...

Toward alpha2

Progress is coming along.
After fixing the known bugs, i did quite some small improvements all around, a bit difficult to detail. Let'sjust say from cosmetics to usage improvements. I am trying to follow up on all your inputs.

I have also fixed a bug which prevented proper caslibration from map files, now it works again.

Also, i am reimplementing tracks statistics and graphics, it's coming along pretty nice.
Things still to do before alpha2:
- Improve online maps (add more sources & make interface more usable)
- add text summary statistics (at the moment, only graphics)

Then if i have time i also want to fully rewrite the map import code to use internal Qt libs and thus dropping the limit of JPG/PNG only maps!

Well, the memory leak has been found and fixed. It's QPainter::drawPolygon! I am now using a for loop with QPainter:drawLine instead. I am baffled, once more.

I am now fixing gobreadcrumbs, then the internet confirmation, then whatmore... A lot to do and very little time to do it! Anyway, by the end of may Alpha 2 will be out. The official 2.0 will not be out before summer, i fear, but at least nto much more than help will be missing i hope!

Working on ALPHA 2

Sorry all,
i have been pretty busy, but thanks to last vacation i finally managed to get an extensive testing out of ALPHA1. I found out a memory leak (still unresolved) and some usability improvements i want to add.

So stay tuned, before june at least al ALPHA2, if not a BETA1, will be released!
