ZDN 2.4 is now “en español” (plus nutrient tracking over time and more)

  • ZDN v2.4 (in English) is now available for download! This is a small upgrade with a few new features including:
    • Even better support for translation
    • NEW: nutrient analysis comparison of a diet over time – see how calories or other nutrients have changed over time.
    • NEW: more searchable diet history and diet history reporting
    • Many bug fixes including better support for international date formats (this was a fatal bug for users in some countries!) and fixing some calculation errors
    • If you are upgrading from v2.2 or earlier, please follow the upgrade instructions. 
    • If you are already using 2.3, you do not need to go through the datafile upgrade process. Instead, just replace the ZDN program itself (not your ZDN Support Files folder) as well as the Template files (ZDN Support Files > Templates) and reconnect to your datafile.
  • ZDN 2.4 (in Spanish) is now available for download! This is thanks to a large number of colleagues in central/south America who helped with the translation effort.
    • Do you want to see ZDN in YOUR language? To do this, you’ll need to get ~1200 phrases translated from English into the new language. If you are interested, please gather some colleagues and help enter translations at the ZDN Translation Project.
  • ZDN now has over 500 active users and 3,000 downloads
  • Upcoming in-person ZDN experiences:
    • I will be presenting a ZDN workshop in Apenheul, Netherlands at the EAZA Nutrition Conference in January. I hope to see you there! (Workshop is now full)
    • The Disney ZDN in-person workshop in February (now full, stay tuned for future dates)
    • I will be at AZA Midyear in Palm Springs in March
    • Don’t forget – free Zoom sessions are every two weeks.
  • Check out these NEW ZDN resources:
    • The ZDN YouTube channel has more new videos. New in the past month are Recipes and Shortcuts!
