After the yesterdays release I found two bugs which had to be fixed immediately. A user sent me a hrm-file which contained data from the Polar RS800. When pulse-o-meter needed 25 seconds to load this file I knew that something must be wrong. After two hours of research and debugging I could increase the performance from 25 to 0.3 seconds. The second problem with yesterdays version is that the volume-indicator did not work all the time, but this is also fixed now.
If you download pulse-o-meter 0.9.2 now you will get version “0.9.2 build 2” which is much much better than the build of yesterday!

After some hard fights with some easy looking features, pulse-o-meter 0.9.2 is now available in the download area. The biggest change is a volume-indicator for SonicLink imports, which will solve most of the users import problems. The second new feature is a progress indicator that displays the progress if you import a directory that contains many files. I also implemented some performance improvements as I underestimated how long it takes to parse dozens of XML-Files every time pulse-o-meter starts.

Some users asked me if it is possible to run pulse-o-meter on Tiger, but after some research I have to say: Sorry… No. pulse-o-meter is my first Objective-C application. In my regular job I only work with J2EE. So when I started to develop pulse-o-meter I wasn’t aware that some of the Objective-C features I use are not compatible to Tiger and older versions of OS X. So the only chance to run pulse-o-meter will be mac OS 10.5 or later.
