beta 15.12 release candidate

derek87

FYI:

This update, version 15.12, is a Release Candidate. "Release Candidate" means that this exact software version is planned to “Go Live” as a public update as long as no critical issues are observed. All copies of version 15.12 will be identical, so there are no differences in functionality whether you install version 15.12 as a Public Release Candidate or wait for the update to be a Live public update.

As a member of the Public Beta program, this update will be automatically delivered to your watch through GCM. Please note that GCM will check for an available update once every 24 hours, and after that it may take several hours for the update to finish transferring and be available on your watch to install.

Changes since version 15.11

  • Fixes an issue where keys did not cause a vibration when the setting was enabled.
  • Fixes an issue that could cause off course warnings to be too sensitive.
  • Improves HRV graphs to better match what is shown in Garmin Connect.
  • Adds support for an acute load watch face data field.
  • Fixes an issue where the performance condition notification could sound an alert tone when alert tones are disabled.
  • Fixes an issue with today’s intensity minutes value getting cut off on the intensity minute page.
  • Fixes other minor issues.

    Did you update  ? If so did the ant/ble version change?

    Interesting. Checked updates via WiFi. This is probably now properly for beta testers and 20% of them as I have now 15.11 and don't get 15.12.

    Those are same as in 15.11.

    But have to give thumbs up for this improved release process. They have made beta, they have fixed things broken in the beta with new beta. Not just releasing as they used to. Of course one can't fix all bugs with one release, but this looks pretty good for process wise, try to fix regression and critical bugs before release.

    i have to agree. i wouldn't get them a super thumbs up, but from my experience, this has been better than the previous beta rounds. 

    it is surprising to me how new bugs come up so frequently when they release  a new beta (eg, sunrise/sunset bug in this round, breaking cadence in another, etc.), but glad to see that they were able to address most of the bugs fairly quickly.

    Yes, thumbs up like continue this and improve more. This feels more of right track than it has been. Was pretty skeptical that anything would change in practice but seems like I might have been wrong.

    I think they are lacking test coverage and things break if one changes something and there are no tests to catch them. One could hope that now currently when they fix these they also make tests cases for them, so that they wouldn't break again (at least in similar way).

    Same issue with some watchfaces (955 reboot after selecting it) persists. Just tested GearMin @ 955 w/ fw 15.12

    Another vote of thanks, Garmin, for your responsive turnaround on these bugs. It's greatly appreciated.

    I would give the possibility to custom-tune this in menu (maybe in navigation/map part) Like hi-med-low. And sensitivity for entering segments.
