Gadgetbridge 0.28.0: ZeTime and Mi Band 3 support!

Gadgetbridge 0.28.0 has just been tagged and will show up on F-Droid soon.

The highlight of this release is initial experimental support for the ZeTime which was contributed by Sebastian Kranz. Thanks Sebastian!

We also managed to make the Mi Band 3 working with Gadgetbridge starting with 0.28.0 and most features seem to work well already.

Further notable enhancements have been done to the firmware detection code for Bip and Cor to fix problems with the new version scheme.

There might be one point release for the 0.28.x series, but we expect to release 0.29.0 soon, since there is more new device support in the pipeline :)

Gadgetbridge 0.26.0: free your workouts on the amazfit bip

Gadgetbridge 0.26.0 has just been tagged and will show up on F-Droid soon.

The highlight of this release is the added feature that allows to export the activities (workouts) recorded with the Amazfit Bip.

This feature is not perfect yet, but already works quite well. The most notable limitation is that only one track can be synced at a time.

In Gadgetbridge, push the running man icon in the device card and then press the sync floating action button or swipe down. Please note that only one workout will be fetched, you have to sync again to get the next activity and so on, automatic fetching will be added in a later release. Please join our efforts if you can contribute.

Gadgetbridge 0.22.0 finally merges Pebble background JS, supports new devices

Gadgetbridge 0.22.0 has just been tagged and will show up on F-Droid soon.

This is an exciting milestone, since finally our longstanding background javascript branch has been merged! When enabled, this allows pebble apps and watchfaces to execute the javascript code bundled with .pbw files to be executed on the phone. In pracice this means that a lot of watchfaces will be able to display weather and phone battery status without Gadgetbridge needing special support for specific watchfaces.

In the future it might mean that watchfaces will also be able to fetch information from the internet by using an to-be-developed addon app for Gadgetbridge.

Gadgetbridge 0.21.3/0.21.4 with exciting news for Mi2/Bip users

Gadgetbridge 0.21.3 has been released on F-Droid (0.21.4 is also ready and will appear on F-Droid after the build and indexing process has finished)

One day after we found out that the Amazfit Bip firmware 0.0.9.14 (included in Mifit 3.1.0) had an English translation inside, we implemented support for switching the language and tagged 0.21.3 right away, making that the only (but important) change in that release.

Then only about 24h later we finally found a solution for bringing activity data parsing for newer Mi Band 2/Amazfit Bip firmwares on par with older firmwares. Thanks to everyone commenting in the issue tracker and describing their observations regaing their activity data! While fixing the code, we found and fixed another ancient issue that resulted in wrong activity data under some cirmcumstances and affected all firmwares,
