v3.8.0

MediLog v3.8.0 is available as of now.

This release turned out to be a lot bigger than anticipated. Got rid of a big lot of antiquated code. MediLog is in it’s 8 year now and so were parts of it’s codebase. Anyway, along the way of lot’s of refactoring quite a few new features were added in.

Some of the more interesting ones are…

• Backup: Added machine-readable metadata to backup files explaining the content of the backup
• Tags: “exclusive tag” option enabling single choice tags
• Glucose:Moved tags from 3 fixed tags to the unlimited tags used in other tabs
• Charts: Show date of record when selecting a position in a chart
• Charts: Added possibility to directly navigate to record from a chart

Analyse Health Trends

I know it’s quite controversial, but maybe here’s something useful AI can do for us and possibly do well:

Analyse MediLog health data, look for significant trends, correlations, and patterns accross all tabs of MediLog.

For this use case MediLog has added machine-readable metadata to each backup as of release v3.7.3. This means all one needs to do is to drag&drop a MediLog backup file on an AI window and provide a meaningful prompt.

v3.7.2

MediLog v3.7.2 is available as of now.

Main new feature is user defined chart colours. A feature I have been asked for a lot because apparently it’s impossible to get colours right for everyone :-) Other than that a few smaller bug fixes which you can lookup in the changelog.

Custom colours

People have been all over me for the colours in the charts ever since I made them a little more prominent. Somehow I never managed to get the colours right for everyone.

So finally here’s the solution to end this conversations for good.

Custom Colors for the 3 colors I use in charts. Pick and chose to your hearts delight.

v3.7.1

Had to push a quick bugfix release as introducing the new Default Tab functionality unveiled a variable with the wrong type which, for some users, prevented the app from starting.

That variable has been around for a while but was silently converted automatically, until now :-/

Added a more resiliant and self-correcting way to handle such situations.

Google Developer Registration

FDroid is a lot quicker these days, MediLog v3.7.0 is already available and with that I am able to test if this build passes the upcoming Google Developer verification…and it does. Both flavours sucessfully registered!

v3.7.0

All tests passed -> ready to release MediLog v3.7.0

Quite a few new features such as …

• Added printing support. No more need for 3rd party pdf viewers
• BloodPressure, Oximetry: Added secondary Y-axis for pulse
• Fluid: Added quick-quantity feature to allow for quicker enty of often used quantities
• Refreshed Tab selector, now allows reordering of tabs and setting a default tab

…as well as many more smaller things

Updated filter icons

Getting some feedback that the current filter on/off icon is easy to miss, which I agree to, has hit me already as well. Hence here’s a modified design which changes the icon more visibly and also adds a counter to reflect how many filters are active. (time+tag+comment)

Let me know what you think.

Filter active

Filter off

Fitness Tracker

MediLog supports 3rd party apps sending links to the MediLogs Diary section so you can relate your physical activities to other topics you are tracking.

We try to extract as much data as possible from such links but are dependant on what the vendor shares.

Below the vendors we currently support. The share links created by vendors are of different quality:

• Strava offers nothing, unless you sign in
• Sigma at least shows the type of activity
• Coros reveals some good statistical data

Clicking on the respective link will take you to the url which was sent to MediLog

New release v3.6.5

New MediLog release v3.6.5 is available as of now.

No major bugs to fix, main reason for this release is the push by Google to add my developer code so the FOSS flavours of MediLog can still be installed after Google locks down sideloading. See here https://keepandroidopen.org/ for more details.
