First official Windows release courtesy of Ned Harding. Ned put much effort into the port to make the download reliable and created a nice installer, too (Thanks Ned!). He also provided the long-awaited Split Ride feature - break up a ride file into separate rides easily using long time gaps and intervals.

• Ant+Sport PowerTap support.
• Split Rides by time gaps or intervals.
• Delete ride from list.
• Use distance or time for x-axis in Ride Plot (Thanks Damain).
• Numerous bug fixes (Thanks Tom, Dan).

*Note: Beginning with this release we are changing to a numbered versioning system. Minor point releases will generally indicate builds with new features, while bugfix releases will increment the final number, which represents the svn revision*

Several new features in this release: Critical Power calculator, find best intervals utility, Pedal Force / Pedal Velocity chart, iBike and Ergomo CSV import, GUI power zones creator, separate vertical axes for Power / HR / Cadence and Speed in the Ride plot, sorting rides with the most recent at the top of the list, and many bug fixes courtesy of JT Conklin.

You may need to install USB drivers from FTDI.

For posterity, the beta version for Windows, based on r295.

• Now imports .srm files (direct download from SRM hopefully coming soon)
• New "Weekly Summary" tab shows total weekly hours, miles, and work
• Power zones can now be entered into a text file, after which GC will display time in each zone in the ride and weekly summaries; for more information on the zone file format, see this page.
