VisibleTesla - Star Wars Day Edition
VisibleTesla 0.27.00 is available just in time for Star Wars Day. May the 4th be with you. This version is experimental given the wide ranging set of changes to the underlying code and build process. It will not be offered by the update mechanism unless you've set the preference for experimental versions.
For the Mac users out there, this release comes with a bundled Mac application (see the notes below). You can download it here. This supersedes the "fake" bundled app that was included last time around. This is fully contained including the right version of Java.
For Windows and Linux users (and Mac users who like the "raw" version) you can download it here as usual.
For developers: github is up to date with this version.

- User-Visible Changes
- General
- Refinement: Starting with this release a fully packaged Mac app available as a separate download. When you use the Help→Check for Updates menu item or an auto-update is performed, you'll be presented with a link that allows you to download the bundled app rather than the generic package. The underpinnings are there to add a bundled app for Windows and Linux too, but those aren't on the task list yet.TMC.com user araxara has been graciously building and host a bundled Mac app for quite a while and this bundled version is no different except that it supports the updating feature and uses a new icon (which can be changed either at build time or by updating the package).
- Refinement: Refined the logic in calculating Vampire Loss statistics. The code makes better guesses about what to do in the facing of missing data.
- Fixed: The update mechanism would fail silently with certain errors and the user would have no indication of what happened. That has been improved.
- Login
- Overview
- HVAC
- Location
- Fixed: Major revision to the way streaming data works. There should be very few user visible changes other than bugs going away. In particular, some users noticed that data would stop streaming at random points while the Location Tab was in use.
- Charge
- Graphs
- Refinement: In some cases you will see more data samples for speed and power if you select the Stream when possible option in the Prefs Tab. See below.
- Trips
- Scheduler
- Notify
- Prefs
- Refinement: In the Location section of the Prefs Tab there is a new checkbox labeled Stream when possible. If checked, this tells VisibleTesla to stream location data opportunistically even when not on the Location Tab. When the car is not moving this will have no net effect, when the car is moving, more streaming location data will be captured. The exception is very short trips (less than 2 minutes).
- General
- Under-the-covers
- Fixed: Fairly significant overhaul to the way the app coordinates use of the streaming data api. This manifests in the ways listed above under Location, Graphs, and Prefs.
- Refinement: Modified the Mac app bundling task to remove a duplicate library, which decreased the download size by about 10%.
- Known problems
