There were some small updates this year. Not significnt
There are smart segments, that can be compared ride to ride.
A little bit. On the group there are rather very specific charts. It is rather like the last 1%. Some of the charts are implemented into wko in updates. You can also build charts yourself. I have some fine charts added from the group I can share.
Not really. It’s rather long time till WKO6 according to comments from Tim.
That shows latest as build 576, however build 577 is on my MacBook.
For Strava segments I pull up a ride with the segment in both Strava and WKO5, and reference Strava to roughly create a lap in WKO5. Then tweak the lap’s starting and ending times to better match Strava. Once the lap is close enough, right click and I create a smart segment. The entire process takes a minute or two, and it is a “one and done” operation for each smart segment.
No access to WKO FB group and haven’t had an issue with modifying or creating my own charts. However I’ve been doing mathematical modeling for four decades and as they say its a “small matter of programming” (SMOP) 
There is a learning curve with any new language/tool.
Is there a discount code for Black Friday Sale?
WKO5Cyber
It’s good through December 1st.
Yes please, that would be excellent.
Side note: wko5 is an apple silicon native application, and it really flies on the new chipset, compared to my decked out 2017 15”
It’s odd that they don’t give a $hit about getting Window version to work as well considering the market share. Has the academia gave up on their fascination on apple yet? Here’s hoping for a functioning WKO6.
No, Apple’s percentage of the desktop/laptop market keeps growing. It’s more than a passing fad. Their new chips are leaving Intel chips in the dust. It wouldn’t surprise me to see Windows on ARM becoming a big thing because of this competition. Android developers love the new M1 Macs. They are so fast at compiling that it’s saving them loads of time.
Intel really need to up their game and AMD needs to up their production.
I’m not seeing them at all in any of the UC Davis and Berkeley engineering labs. My sister’s EE lab at Stanford gave up on it back in the late 90s and she not using any in her Berkeley lab. That’s only three data points through.
Just based on a quick google search…since 2009 Windows market share has gone from ~97% to 75% and OSX has gone from ~3% to ~15%. So Mac is definitely still growing. And I’m sure with the recent M1 releases that will continue to grow since every single review I’ve seen of them has been glowing.
Does the speed running on the newer M1 machines remove the earlier critiques of slow performance for WKO5 on macs?
Am due to upgrade both my laptop and WKO software. Both of which are older than some of the TR forum posters 
I’ve read reports that WKO5 flies on the new M1 macs.
WKO performance has been fine on my 2016 MacBook Pro (with large SSD). After giving WKO5 a trial when it was released, I had some performance issues the first couple of times and didn’t pay for it. Then 6 months later did another trial and performance was fine. WKO5 has interesting ‘moments’ from time to time, on some pages that I customized and added more charts.
Tnx both. When I upgrade the laptop I’ll do WKO5 at same time.
On my 2013 MBP (2.8ghz i7, 16GB, SSD), redrawing charts like the Performance Manager Chart can be slow (taking seconds). It’s bearable but noticeably slow. It’s all cpu. My cpu pegs to 350% with four cores almost maxed out. The GPU sees zero use. The whole program only uses 250MB of ram.
There’s really hardly any waiting on the new 16". I keep trying to make it bog down, it never does.
I’m not sure where the complaints on wko5 running slow is coming from. When it was first released that might have been a fair critique but i havent seen performance issues in 18+mths now.
Are you running Windows 10?
yes.
Did you use WKO4, and if so how does it compared?
Many of my built-in WKO4 reports take over >20-30 seconds to compile (last 90 days) every time you fire up the program and more than a few that I gave up using because it was still spinning after a good 10 minutes. And forget about changing the time range, everything starts a fresh.
