CHANGELOG

What is new in the indoor cycling app, version by version.

Every release of REPley Ride, newest first, with the day it came out in Melbourne. REPley Ride tells you on its start screen when a newer version is out. Download the newest version.

Version 0.5.5Newest

  • ANT+ trainers and straps through a USB stick, on Linux: REPley Ride picks the radio that reaches your trainer, Bluetooth first, and Advanced on Your bike lets you choose. Your trainer and strap show which radio they are on.
  • Start is instant. Your trainer connects while you choose a ride and is held ready, so Start is just the countdown, and the ride's clock starts with your first pedal stroke.
  • Help in one line. When something is in the way of a good connection, the start screen says what, and offers the one button that fixes it.
  • Clearer when a trainer will not take control: it says whether to update the trainer's firmware, in its maker's app, or to remove an old pairing in Windows' Bluetooth settings.
  • Look for it now in the ride's menu finds a dropped trainer at once. The ride never stops for it.
  • Updates in one click: REPley Ride downloads the new version itself and opens the installer.

Version 0.5.4

  • Windows' installer is signed by Chain Brothers Pty Ltd, so Windows names the publisher.
  • Your trainer is held ready on the start screen, so Start waits for nothing.
  • Each ride's details and its finish picture go to REPley, and your earlier rides once.
  • Riders on the road only step aside to pass you; ride charts show your power as recorded; zone rides from your plan are held in ERG; and your rides are listed on Today.

Version 0.5.3

  • Follow along with your gym days on screen, beside your plan's rides.
  • One way on at a time: one Start on Today, and nothing greyed out without a reason.
  • Other riders on the road at your pace; ski lifts, creeks, snow and granite on the climbs; menus that fit a TV; a map you can zoom; and panels and the window remembered for each screen.
  • Any of your own heart-rate straps connects, whichever one you are wearing.

Version 0.5.2

  • Polish for the release: locker pictures, layouts for small screens, ride overlays, workout descriptions.

Version 0.5.1

  • Billing messages in REPley's own words.

Version 0.5.0

  • REPley's plans and your trial's end in the app, with a yearly option and quiet banners.
  • The workout library in one sideways row that fits a 1080p screen.
  • Riders on the road, keys for the view and screenshots, and screenshots with REPley Ride on them.

Version 0.4.3

  • Separate Mac downloads for Apple chips and Intel, each about 100 MB smaller.
  • The welcome film on install and after each update; its short sting on every launch.

Version 0.3.0
