UX and Workflows

  • Enabled Plan View, initially with Calendar, Agenda and Expected PMC charts. It can be selected as startup view if you like to.
  • Calendar now includes visual refinements, Planned Activities creation and management, and Phases/Events modification.
  • Planned Activities can include a linked Workout so you can navigate to execute it in Train View, and are used in "Expected PMCs" to forecast training load evolution.
  • On activity import if a corresponding Planned activity is detected, it is marked automatically as complete.
  • New Agenda chart to view and manage pending Planned activities
  • Repeat Schedule Wizard to selectively copy parts of a plan to future dates.
  • Update Calendar on Batch Import

Cloud

  • Deprecate VeloHero integration since the service will be shutdown this year

Device Support

  • Upgrade FIT SDK to 21.188

Platform Support

  • Deprecate Qt5 support, all builds are Qt6 based now
  • Downgrade to gcc-11 for Linux builds to avoid issues on still supported distributions s.t. Debian 12/Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and derivatives

Bug Fixes

  • Fix invisible label on Interval Metadata selector
