Release v2.2.0 - big changes to Timeline Edit, overall timeline performance and German language

This release gives you more control over your timeline, improves performance and memory use, and adds German language support.

Edit your timeline with confidence

• Correct visit locations, add labels for individual visits, adjust times, and change transport types.
• Split visits, add missed stops, merge compatible visits or trips, and remove incorrect events.
• Review structural changes before saving.
• See before-and-after details in change history, with undo and redo.
• Manual corrections are reapplied after timeline regeneration and included in GeoPulse exports and imports.

How you can modify a trip.

Fill in missing activity

The new Add missing activity flow is available on Timeline & Map and in Trip Workspace - see #646

• Fill missing time with one or more visits or trips.
• Choose places on the map and enter times directly, or use recorded GPS timestamps.
• Add a trip’s start, destination, and optional route points. Manual routes appear as dashed lines with estimated distances.
• Review your changes before saving. Your recorded GPS data stays unchanged.

Performance

• Full timeline regeneration is substantially faster: a 2.5× speedup was measured in the maintainer’s setup with 400,000 GPS points.
• Lower memory use during timeline generation, making large location histories more efficient to process.
• The Timeline page loads faster, with additional improvements to map paths, map matching, and statistics.

More ways to make GeoPulse yours

• German language support, alongside English and Ukrainian - see #638. Thank you @dertika

• Choose the correct place when reconciling a single location in Geocoding Management. Compare provider results, address details, and distance from your recorded coordinates before saving - see #645

• Show Unknown Activity setting under Profile → Timeline Display. Turn it off to hide gap cards and dates without recorded visits or trips - see #647

Fixes

• Walking trips are less likely to be mistaken for running when GPS position jumps inflate the calculated distance - See #649
• Memos automatically detects the supported API path for better compatibility across versions - See #650
• Fixed Admin settings backup restore when the application log level is inherited from deployment settings - See #644
