A minor update to the Open Fitness desktop software has just been made available. It updates the underlying database engine, some flaky screen behavior in the diet and supplement journals, and some other very minor things. Supposedly, the updated database engine is a little faster...I didn't really notice any difference.
Whenever I have time to merge the OpenFitness.net upgrades back into the desktop software (I had to split into 2 codebases temporarily), the desktop should get a huge performance boost...at least in the weightlifting section.
Up until I added the 'hide old records' checkbox to the journals, the weightlifting section was taking quite a while to load, for users that had years worth of workouts stored. The performance concerns in the weightlifting section became much more apparent when I ported the desktop code into a server environment. In order to make the workouts show up quickly (when there can easily be millions of records across all users), I had to make significant changes. As of yet, only OpenFitness.net has these changes incorporated. It's not as big of an issue with the desktop, since in most cases there are only one or two users per database on the desktop.
