v3.36 Beta is out. Find it in the usual place:
http://topofusion.com/beta.phpThe first major change is an update to the Multi-track playback system. "Real time stats" -- shows all manner of current stats, per track. This is a really cool way to visualize multiple tracks and compare rides/runs/whatever.
Below (next post) is a screen grab from a few of my files, including power meter data.
----
Even just the addition of the date and/or filename fields is a great help in differentiating tracks as they go. You could always change the color and add "Author" fields, but that took time. This is automatic. Automatic is good.
I've already discovered that 5/23/2004 was the fastest date I ride my local mountain bike route. Funny to watch that day shoot ahead of the ~200+ other tracks!
Also, I've finally dug back into the GPS Network code!! This is long awaited, and I certainly apologize for the delay.
Most importantly, I believe I have squashed the nasty little bug that would crop itself with certain geometric arrangements of tracks.
The reduction phase of the process has also been ridiculously sped up. I didn't think this one optimization would have such a profound effect, but in one test case the total time for network creation went from 60 seconds to 20 seconds. In many cases the reduction was the slowest part of the process, so this is a huge improvement.

The UI has been updated as well, with some informative messages.
Throw as many tracks as you've got at it and let's see if we can get it to crash.
