Run 0.8.0.2

Posted by Mladen, 18th May 2005

This minor release features a few bug fixes that were to blame for practically broken installation of Run releases 0.8 and 0.8.0.1. As one of Run users has pointed out (thanks Rogier) the installation scripts contained two bugs that made installating Run a completely unneccessary puzzle.

Besides these fixes, the 0.8.0.2 is virtually the same as 0.8. However, I'm sure many of you will appreciate this release. You can get Run-0.8.0.2 release directly from SourceForge.net.

I sincerely applogize to all those who have downloaded 0.8 and 0.8.0.1 and were not able to set up Run.

Despite providing the quick fix last night, I decided to create a new release Run-0.8.0.1 (direct link to SourceForge.net release download) with the fix included.

Bug fixed [sigh]

Posted by Mladen, 4th May 2005

I have just now discovered a very stupid bug in the main display page (display.php). Here's the fixed version: 20050504-display.php.gz. Ungzip the file and copy it over the display.php.

I sincerely apologize for this inconvenience.

Enjoy your running.

New and improved Run

Posted by Mladen, 3th May 2005

Run 0.8 is the first major Run release in almost 6 months. It presents the culmination of ideas that have been brewing in the RunLab during the last several months. Changes and improvements since tha last release are numerous, so only the most important will be mentioned here (for a full list of changes check out the Run Change Log).

Probably the most important change is introduction of runner administration. This brings along a lot of changes in the way Run is used. I believe that many users who host their own pages wanted to offer Run to their friends or family, or even as an added value to their site. With this release of Run, openning your installation of Run for others in a safe way is now possible. Which means that user authorization has been greatly improved and that concept of user maintenance has changed too. Run 0.8 includes a separate runner administration interface for adding, changing and accessing data about your runners. Also, each runner can change selected personal data, passwords, measurement units ... more on that later.

Another great improvement is the addition of different measurement units. Runners from countries where non-metric system is in use can now enter information about your runs in units you are used to: distance in either kilometers or miles, temperature in either Celsius or Fahrenheit, and weight in either kilograms, pounds or stones. Hopefully many of you will appreciate that, since you won't have to convert that information anymore. This change is application wide and thus includes shoe management, pace and splits calculators and so on.

Main display has also changed and you can now choose between two different view modes: you can view your running data in either summarized mode where only selected columns are displayed, or in full view mode where all data is displayed. Also the way data is presented in the main display window has changed a bit and now rows are displayed in alternately changing colors for easier viewing (this feature was requested by Rogier, and made me think about it ... so thanks Rogier).

Users can now change their personal data and Run settings: measurement units, view mode, and password access.

As always, there have been even more application-wide changes that are "behind the scenes" and are thus not immediately noticable to the user, but do contribute to streamlined functioning of Run. To explore the details of all changes that make the 0.8 version of Run a version that rocks, see the Run Change Log.

To find out more about how to upgrade from your older version of Run to 0.8 please see, Upgrading Run (Upgrading).

I hope that all these improvements are important contribution to the overall user satisfaction. Drop me a note if you have a question or a suggestion for further improvements, or if you have any trouble setting up Run. I'll help in any way I can.

You can get your copy of Run 0.8 at the following location: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/run/Run-0.8.tar.gz?download.

For complete list of changes featured in this version of Run, see Run Change Log.

Enjoy your running.
