<p>
Golden Cheetah is available as source code and in binary form for
Mac OS X Universal Binary, Linux on x86 processors and Windows 32-bit. 
</p>
<p>
Depending on your operating system, you may need to install the <a
href="http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm">FTDI USB
driver</a> if you're using the PowerTap's new USB download cradle. The FTDI USB drivers are an optional install if you do not plan on downloading from your device using Golden Cheetah.

First official Windows release courtesy of Ned Harding. Ned put much effort into the port to make the download reliable and created a nice installer, too (Thanks Ned!). He also provided the long-awaited Split Ride feature - break up a ride file into separate rides easily using long time gaps and intervals.
<ul>
<li>Ant+Sport PowerTap support. 
<li>Split Rides by time gaps or intervals. 
<li>Delete ride from list. 
<li>Use distance or time for x-axis in Ride Plot (Thanks Damain). 
<li>Numerous bug fixes (Thanks Tom, Dan).

<p>*Note: Beginning with this release we are changing to a numbered versioning system. Minor point releases will generally indicate builds with new features, while bugfix releases will increment the final number, which represents the svn revision*</p>
<p>Several new features in this release: Critical Power calculator, find best intervals utility, Pedal Force / Pedal Velocity chart, iBike and Ergomo CSV import, GUI power zones creator, separate vertical axes for Power / HR / Cadence and Speed in the Ride plot, sorting rides with the most recent at the top of the list, and many bug fixes courtesy of JT Conklin.

<td valign="top">This release fixes a bug in the critical power
intervals graph where you could get bad data if you started an interval
after a long period of not moving.  It also adds really basic zooming to
the ride plot: use the left mouse button to zoom in and the right one to
return to the previous zoom state.  It's pretty crappy right now, but
it's better than nothing.
