Version 5.1.2

Solved Issues

• Conversion failed for open water swimming activities in conjunction with distance normalization. Closes #74.

Version 5.1.1

New features and changes

• Added support for conversion of activities with dummy location (start) records.

Solved Issues

• Conversion could fail in case of activities without any distance information (i.e. the calculated distance was zero).

Version 5.1.0

New features and changes

• JSON and ZIP conversion: Added normalization to all distances calculated from the raw Hitrack data. This
  eliminates the distance differences between Huawei Health and Strava. Note that all distances are slightly shifted to
  get this result. TCX output with normalized distances has become the default mode from this version. If you prefer
  using the raw calculated distances from previous versions, use the new --tcx_use_raw_distance_data command line
  argument. Closes #63

Version 5.0.0

Solved Issues

• Added support for the new Huawei data format as of late April 2021. Closes #64.
  The new data format uses relative timestamps instead of absolute ones for some data.
  Update to this version if you experience problems with dates and times being wrong causing import in Strava to fail.
  This version is fully backward compatible with the previous data format. You will still be able to convert older
  data exports.

• Added heart rate information for open water swimming activities.

Solved Issues

• Solved missing step frequency data in the converted TCX files for outdoor walking and running activity types other
  than the default types (Hike, Mountain Hike, Cross-country run).
• Open water swimming: solved an issue in the converted TCX data that could lead to incorrect total duration in Strava.
  Closes #45.

Known limitations

• The --validate_xml command line argument does not work for open water swimming activities.

Version 4.0.0 - Please read README for updated installation and usage.

New features and changes

• Added support to convert from an encrypted Huawei Health ZIP file. As of late October 2020, the Huawei Health app obligates to provide a password to encrypt the requested data with. Closes #36.
  You must provide this password in the new command line argument --password.
  The used encryption method also requires the installation of a 7-Zip stand-alone version to be able to decrypt the data.
  For more information, see the updated installation and conversion procedures in the README file.

Known limitations

• Currently, conversion from an encrypted Huawei Health ZIP file is supported on Windows operating systems only.
