Releasing v0.12.0 - UI improvments, ride analysis improvments, and more

Changes Since v0.11.0

These notes cover the current build compared with the v0.11.0 tag.

New Route Options

  • Added Other Routes for riding routes without waiting for Strava login approval.
  • Added Strava URL Import so you can paste a Strava route link and ride it.
  • Added GPX Import with drag-and-drop file selection.
  • Imported routes are saved in the app so you can find and ride them again.
  • GPX files without elevation data now show a clear import error instead of loading an unusable route.

Strava Access

  • Replaced the old Strava login image in the top bar with a normal Strava Routes button.
  • Added a Strava access dialog that explains the current Strava API approval status.
  • Added a shortcut from that dialog to Other Routes so you can keep riding even when Strava login is unavailable.
  • Logged-in Strava route browsing still works the same once your Strava account is connected.

Route Browser Improvements

  • Widened the route selector so route names, filters, and import controls have more room.
  • Moved the Imported / Classic Routes selector to the top of the Other Routes sidebar.
  • Moved Strava URL Import and GPX Import directly below the route selector.
  • Added search and sort controls for imported routes.
  • Added tooltips for long route and activity names.

Ride Controls

  • Added keyboard shortcuts for map controls during a ride:
  • Up Arrow: zoom in
  • Down Arrow or Backspace: zoom out
  • Right Arrow: rotate clockwise
  • Left Arrow: rotate counterclockwise
  • Kept J as the shortcut for jumping to another position on the route.

Ride Summaries

  • Improved ride summary analytics with richer power and training views.
  • Fixed the Strava upload description typo.

Help and Guidance

  • Updated in-app help to describe Strava access status, Other Routes, GPX import, and the new keyboard shortcuts.
  • Refreshed route-import wording so users know they can ride from Strava links or GPX files without signing in.
