0.6.9.0
c8d8060

With this release a lot of work has been done behind the scenes to keep the app running smoothly and to remove some of the quirks that were added while RoadCaptain was initially built. The sad thing is you won't see most of that but it does mean that things like exiting from an activity is now handled a lot smoother as well as the initial connection with Zwift (where it says "Waiting for Zwift" for example).

Ultimately you should notice less quirky behaviour at times which means you can keep focusing on riding instead of checking whether the app still works!

There have also been a bunch of tweaks to the user interface to provide more and better information in both Route Builder and Runner. See below for the details!

Route Builder

  • Show the segment id when hovering over the segment name in the route list
  • The window state (size and position) are now stored in the user preferences so that the next time you open Route Builder it appears where you left off.
  • You can now zoom to your route by clicking the 4 outward pointing arrows in the toolbar. This will zoom in to show the entire route.
  • Show sprints, KOMs and Strava segments along the route on the main screen and improved the styling of the KOM and sprint segments on the map to make it look more "Zwifty" #51

  • Spawn point now show the direction so it's easier to understand in which direction you can build a route #48, #49: Direction marker on spawn point segment
  • The elevation plot now has colorized grade indications so you can see more easily how hard the cilmbs are! Color grading on elevation plot
  • The show climbs, show sprints and show elevation plot check boxes are now stored in the user preferences.
  • Building loops has been improved so you don't get the "do you want to make a loop" question too often (and sometimes wrongly!)

Runner

A big change in this release is the main screen of the Runner which has been updated to show the animated map of the route as well as the KOMs and sprints that you will pass along the route:

Additionally the following improvements and fixes have been made:

  • Automatically re-initialize the Zwift connection when the connection secret doesn't match
  • Removed the "Start new loop at end of route" as that is now handled by actual looped routes built with RouteBuilder
  • Add diagnostic information on the Zwift connection attempts and data received
  • Improve messages when starting a ride:
    • Show "Waiting for Zwift" when Zwift is not connected yet
    • Show "Connected with Zwift" when Zwift has connected but the activity hasn't started yet (or we didn't get an update yet!)
    • Show "Entered the game" when the activity starts
    • Show "Riding to start of route" when the activity started but you are not yet on the starting segment of the route
    • Show "Heading the wrong way" when you're on the starting segment of a route but heading in the wrong direction
  • Fix an issue where RoadCaptain would flip between on/off route very quickly many times
  • Fix an issue where the in-game window would only show the Zwift route to start without any other instruction when clicking "Let's go" and Zwift is not yet started
  • Fix an issue where the in-game window would appear off-screen
  • Fix an issue where the Zwift connection would not be initialized properly after a disconnect and subsequent re-connect
  • Fix an issue where RoadCaptain would suddenly crash #97
  • Fix an issue where RoadCaptain would go from lost route lock back to on route even though you're not on the route

Routing

  • Fixed an incorrect turn from Volcano Climb to Volcano Circuit 1, this also introduces version 3 of the stored route files.
  • Remove segment watopia-gran-fondo-002 because it's not routable
