Review Heatmap v0.7.0 Beta Release! (Patreon)

Hey guys!

Well, after more than 230 commits and several thousand lines of code I'm happy to announce that the first beta release of Review Heatmap v0.7.0 is finally ready for testing! This is the first version of the add-on with full Anki 2.1 support. It's also packed with a plethora of new features and fixes, some of which I showcased in my previous blog posts on the add-on (which you should definitely check out if you haven't done so already!).

Admittedly it took quite a bit longer to push this release out than I had initially anticipated. My apologies for that! Right before putting the final touches on v0.7.0 a couple of weeks ago, I had to stumble on an entire class of timezone-related issues. Fixing these felt like a game of whack-a-bug, or – do we have any fans of Malcolm in the Middle here? – like Hal fixing a light bulb. That, and university and exams starting back up again pushed everything back much further than I hoped for.

In any case, the beta release is ready now and I'm very much psyched to hear you guys' feedback – if you feel adventurous enough to give the beta release a try! If not: Don't worry, the proper release shouldn't be too far away now as the beta seems very stable.

If you'd like to take a closer look at all the new features and changes before diving into things, make sure to check out the full changelog. Download links and installation instructions are available on the GitHub release page. I chose to host this beta in public so as to expedite the release of the stable version (which has taken too long already!). The more eyes we get on this, the faster things will move.

Rest assured that new Patreon-exclusive add-on content is coming up soon (I will be posting more on this in the October development update sometime this week, alongside a roadmap for my upcoming add-on work).

If you decide to test the beta and run into any issues of any sort, or need help setting things up, please do let me know in the comments below.

Last, I would just like to express my gratitude to each every one of you for the support that you've shown me. I can't say enough how much I appreciate it! This update would not have been possible without you. Thank you!

P.S.: I'm still in the process of catching up to some of your comments and messages. To those of you still waiting for a reply: I'm terribly sorry about the delay. I will make sure to get back to you over the next few days.
