Hi all,

- Completely reworked video recording, including the long awaited continuous video recording
  • No interruption of recording at end of lap
    New, and more reliable storage scheme, overlay status management
    Users can start video recording manually and add intro / extro sequences to overlays
    Lots of features added to Video Overlay, e.g. min/max speeds, POI inserts, countdowns
    Fix focus support
    Versatile video association and synchronization
    Manual selection of resolution to save space
    Much improved stability for low memory situations
    New Video Details view
- Added full French and Spanish localizations, thanks to Philippe from flat-r.org and Manuel

- New data exchange and social network support
  • Added VBO export to allow data recording analysis in external apps (like Circuit Tools)
    Added a communication center including Twitter, AppStore, and forum integration
- Hundreds of User Interface improvements
  • New button scheme for list
    Fully reworked Lap Details list
    New icons

I've submitted both the Pro and the Standard version to AppStore some minutes ago. As long as no severe bugs come up during the next days - will test it on Nordschleife tomorrow myself :-) - the apps will be available in March.

LapTimer Trainer will be submitted soon, I have already added Retina density bitmaps to fully support the iPad3's display from the beginning. In addition, all available views from LapTimer Pro are now included in LapTimer Trainer too.

Great news, hopefully Apple approves it before my event next weekend. I'm sure they are flooded with updated iPad apps with retina support.

The iPad 3 looks wonderful, excited to see the new version of Trainer for it!

v15 isn't in the app store right? I just checked and saw v14.4.2

I can't wait to test v15.
Continuous video is HUGE!!

Thanks Harry
I convinced a few buddies to try it this year.

No, I assume they have lots to do currently as all iPad apps need to be updated to support the new iPad retina.
