Hey Podium users! 👋 You asked, and we delivered—again. In version 0.5.4, we’ve tackled a host of bugs and made some key improvements to ensure the app works exactly how you need it to. After all, when you’re managing your events and data, you don’t want the app to get in the way.
Your feedback has been our roadmap for this release. Whether it was a quirky login issue, sluggish responsiveness, or a mysterious trackmap bug, we dug in and made things right. Let’s dive into the fixes!
File Browser fixes
Ubuntu 24 pulled the rug out from underneath us – now the native file browser works again on Ubuntu 24.
Also, if the native file browser won’t play nice, we’ve got a built-in option as a backup.
Login Dialog Fix
The app won’t bother you with the login dialog if there’s no network connectivity. Because why rub salt in the wound?
Competitor Number Default Value
When editing a device at an event, the app now uses a proper default value for the competitor number. No more guessing games.
Trackmap Data Cleanup
Old data points are now cleared properly, preventing resource leaks and keeping your system running efficiently.</p>
Digital Display Fixes
Text values for digital displays now work as intended. It’s the little things that make a big difference!</p>
Improved Responsiveness
Dialogs dismiss faster, and overall interactions feel snappier. You’ll notice the difference.</p>
Scatter Plot Gauge Fix
We fixed a resource leak on the scatter plot gauge that caused slowdowns when there were no lap resets. Performance restored!
Line Charts improvements
The current value for the line chart now properly shows data when viewing live telemetry. Charts now open in “time” mode so you see useful data right off the bat.
Alert Range Configuration Fix
Channel min/max value updates now apply consistently, so your alert configurations stay accurate.
