-- The Windows installer is now a 64bit installer including Qt5
-- There is still a deprecated 32bit installer including Qt4, but that has
-  several known issues (among others, printing has a number of bugs that

-- The Mac installer has already been updated to Qt5
-- A current development version of libdivecomputer is used for the Windows
-  and Mac builds.

-- Pictures can be associated with dives and shown in the profile
-- Printing is much improved (but see above)
-- Data entry for dives is much more intuitive and consistent
-- First steps towards an HTML exporter
-- Support to import dive log files from Seabear dive computers
-- User survey added to learn more about the needs of out users

+- The Windows installer is now a 64bit installer including Qt5
+- There is still a deprecated 32bit installer including Qt4, but that has
+  several known issues (among others, printing has a number of bugs that
+  were fixed in Qt5).
+- The Mac installer has already been updated to Qt5

+- Pictures can be associated with dives and shown in the profile

+- Further work on the HTML exporter
+- Support to import dive log files from Seabear dive computers
+- user survey added to learn more about the needs of out users
+- new user manuals in Spanish and Russian
+- improved and extended user manuals
+
+Known issues:
+
+- (Windows specific) Many Windows fonts don't support specific characters,
+  specifically subscript "2" (eg in pO₂). New installations of Subsurface
+  will automatically pick a font that contains this character, but if you
+  had Subsurface installed on a specific system before, it likely has
+  saved the previous font in its settings. In that case the best solution
+  is to manually change the font to one that contains this character,
+  e.g. Calibri.
+
+- (Windows specific) When upgrading from Subsurface 4.1, after saving of a
+  logfile the logfiles name may be listed a second time in the files menua
+  because of a change in the representation of logfiles filename in the
+  Windows registry.
+
+Known bugs:
+
+- There are a number of small inconsistencies in the UI when editing
+  multiple dives. For example, if multiple dives are edited and some of
+  them already have coordinates set, under certain circumstances the
+  changes aren't saved. To circumvent this bug only edit dives with the
+  same coordinates or edit the dives individually.
+
+- (Windows specific - only 64bit) If an ad blocker is used and set to
+  offline mode, the manual check for an update crashes subsurface.
+
+- When using the globe / map widget to edit dive locations, double clicks
+  some times fail to set the correct position.
+
+- Sometimes Marble will show the same pane several times. Try to zoom in
+  or out of the location.
