-This is the README file for Subsurface 4.0.2
+This is the README file for Subsurface 4.1 BETA1
-After the release of Subsurface 3.1 the Subsurface developer team
-decided to make a major change in the development direction of the
-project. We switched to Qt as our UI toolkit and slowly, step by step
-replaced all the Gtk with corresponding Qt code.
+This is mainly a bug fix release, but there are rather significant changes
+under the hood.
-This caused lots of changes, from adding C++ to the list of
-programming languages used, to switching build systems to qmake, to
-refactoring the tightly interwoven UI and logic code that we had up
-until 3.1. The vast majority of this work was done by just a handful
-of people with Tomaz Canabrava carrying the biggest part of the
-load. As we had hoped, the switch to Qt brought us many new active
-developers and the Qt community has been extremely helpful supporting
-us when we ran into trouble.
-
-At this stage the Qt version has by and large reached functional
-parity with version 3.1; two notable features are missing: the filter
-by event type and the dive planner. The user experience and look and
-feel on the other hand far surpass what was available in 3.1.
-
-As always in a massive rewrite like this, there are still a small
-handful of known bugs and issues - please check ReleaseNotes.txt and
-our bug tracker at trac.hohndel.org.
