-			Subsurface 4.3
-			==============
-
-Some of the changes since Subsurface 4.2
-
-Subsurface now supports flexible filtering of the dive list. You can
-specify a combination of different criteria like tags, people who were on
-the dive, location, suit, etc. While filtering you can see how many dives
-match any of the criteria, and how many dives match the combination of the
-criteria that you selected.
-
-When editing dive, you can now cut and paste selected components of a dive
-and paste them into one or more other dives. This makes it easy to add the
-same equipment, buddies, tags or other aspects of a dive into others
-
-The information overlay on the profile now offers an easy to understand
-tissue saturation visualization that shows your tissue saturation at any
-point of the dive.
-
-Owners of the Heinrichs & Weikamp OSTC 2 and 3 as well as dive computers
-in the popular Suunto Vyper family of dive computers can configure the
-settings of their dive computers with Subsurface.
-
-For a number of dive computers Subsurface now downloads additinal data and
-shows them in a new tab on the screen. This includes (depending on the
-dive computer) information like battery levels, no fly times, Gradient
-Factors used during the dive, etc. This feature is enabled in all official
-Subsurface binaries; when building from source this requires a custom
-version of libdivecomputer (as explained in the INSTALL file) oder a Uemis
-Zurich SDA.
-
-In the dive profile you can now turn on an improved visualization of the
-gases used during a dive (aka "tank bar").
-
-The dive planner now offers the ability to re-plan dives and copy dive
-plans in order to plan multiple scenarios.
-
-We added support for several new dive computers including the Suunto EON
-Steel, Aeris A300 CD, and Aeris F11.
-
-Subsurface can now import dive logs from Liquivision and Cochran software
-as well as the new Suuntu DM5.
-
-Additionally, dive logs from the Poseidon Mk6 CCR can be imported as well.
-
-We made many improvements for UDDF and CSV import, UDDF export now
-complies with the latest version of the standard.
-
-Many issues with the HTML export were addressed.
-
-Initial support for CCR and pSCR was added. Visualization of dive logs as
-well as dive planning should work - but this feature is fairly early in
-its development and we assume that there may be a few bugs and
-mis-features hidden in this area.
-
-Other, notable improvements:
-- Import of manually logged dives (e.g., from an existing paper logbook)
-  is now much better documented in the user manual. Instead of having to
-  individually enter each dive with the graphical profile editor users can
-  add all their dives in a spreadsheet and import the data from there
-- Many other small improvements to the planner
-- Many small UI changes for better use on small displays (tighter columns
-  and column headers on the dive list, the toolbox of icons no longer
-  forces a minimum height of the profile, etc)
-- Improvements on HiDPI displays
-- We fixed an annoying bug where when starting to edit a dive the pop-up
-  with completions would cover the edit line (this usually happened when
-  editing tags)
-- For the (rather unusual) dive computers that send a heading event in
-  every sample we automatically declutter the profile display now
-- The Windows installer are smarter: the 64bit installer refuses to
-  install its binaries on a 32bit OS and conversely the installer warns
-  you when installing 32bit binaries on a 64bit OS
-- Better synchronization with divelogs.de, including support for multiple
-  tanks
-
-Known bugs
-
-- this appears to be a bug in Qt. When changing the password needed
-  authenticate with a proxy, Subsurface will not use the new password
-  until after a restart
-
-			Subsurface 4.2
-			==============
-
-The Subsurface developer team is proud to announce the release of the
-next update of Subsurface.
-
-Subsurface is an open source divelog program that runs on Windows, Mac
-and Linux.
-
-With Subsurface the user can download dive information directly from a
-large number of supported dive computers. Subsurface is able to track
-single- and multi-tank dives using air, Nitrox or TriMix. It displays
-a dive profile with all related information including air consumption
-and alarms. It also allows logging of information like weights and
-exposure protection used, dive masters and dive buddies, and enables
-the user to rate dives and provide additional dive notes.
-
-With Subsurface the user can track dive locations including GPS
-coordinates (which can also be conveniently entered using a map
-interface). Subsurface calculates a wide variety of statistics of the
-user's diving and keeps track of information like the user's SAC rate,
-partial pressures of O2, N2 and He, calculated deco information, and
-many more.
-
-Subsurface allows the user to print out a detailed log book including
-dive profiles and other relevant information. The program is localized
-in about 20 languages and well supported by an active developer
-community. This community also made new and shiny offline manuals in
-Spanish and Russian possible.
-
-One of the major strengths of Subsurface is its support of a wide range
-of dive computers (most common dive computers are supported with the help
-of libdivecomputer); a detailed list is in the SupportedDivecomputers.txt
-file. Subsurface can also import existing dive logs from several sources
-including MacDive, Suunto DM3/DM4, JDiveLog and divelogs.de. Another
-strength is its ability to visualize the depth profile (and, if
-available, the tank pressure curve) in very innovative ways that give
-the user additional information on relative velocity (and momentary
-air consumption) during the dive through the coloring of the graphs.
-
-Some of the changes since 4.1
-
-- 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 also been updated to Qt5
-- A current development version of libdivecomputer is used for the Windows
-  and Mac builds.
-- A Dive Planner got added again, using the graphical profile editor; it
-  supports different ascent speeds, backgas breaks during deco and many
-  other interesting features; it allows the user to print just the dive
-  plan (without graphic profile); one shortcoming is that currently one
-  cannot re-plan a planned dive, i.e., once you save a dive plan, you can
-  no longer edit / change the plan; you have to start from scratch again.
-  This is on the todo list.
-- Pictures can be associated with dives and shown in the profile
-- Printing is much improved (but see above), including a "1 dive per page"
-  mode, better rendering of dives (in our mind) and better data
-  presented per dive.
-- Data entry for dives is much more intuitive and consistent
-- We have a reasonably functional HTML exporter for the dive log (it's
-  still work in progress but already quite powerful, even though lacking
-  localization support).
-- Support to import dive log files from Seabear dive computers.
-- We added a user survey to learn more about the interests and needs of
-  out users
-- improved and extended user manuals
-- new translated user manuals in Spanish and Russian
-
-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 logfile's name may be listed a second time in the files menu
-  because of a change in the representation of logfiles filename in the
-  Windows registry.
-
-- 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 the globe will show the same pane several times. Try to zoom
-  in or out of the location and give the system time to download the map
-  tiles in the background - on slower network connections this can take a
-  while.
-
-
-New in version 4.1 (compared to Subsurface 4.0.3):
---------------------------------------------------
-
-- new and improved profile widget with animations, better info box, and
-  a new toolbox to turn on and off many of the additional graphs and
-  information displays
-- improved CSV import and added CSV export
-- import of exported log files from Sensus (CSV) and Shearwater Desktop
-  (XML)
-- improved UDDF and divelogs.de support
-- generalized import dialog
-- much improved consistency for dialog boxes, keyboard shortcuts, etc
-- improved error handling when downloading from divecomputer
-- export an HTML world map with dive sites
-- make backups before overwriting XML files
-- don't display unused cylinders in the equipment tab (this can be turned
-  off and the old behavior restored in the preferences)
-- lots of code cleanup, style fixes, improved consistency
-- improve Qt5 support (but there are still some visual oddities)
-- many improvements to the build infrastructure (out of tree builds,
-  ability to build without Marble, make WIP planner a config option)
-- more than 50 bugs fixed
-- new translation (Greek, British-English, Latvian, and Romanian)
-- experimental "check for updates" feature (mostly for Windows and Mac)
-- experimental undocumented alternative storage format
-
-
-New in version 4.0.3 (compared to Subsurface 4.0.2):
-----------------------------------------------------
-
-- fixed unitinialized variable bug that caused errors downloading from
-  divecomputers
-
-New in version 4.0.2 (compared to Subsurface 4.0.1):
-----------------------------------------------------
-
-- fixed potential crash when importing dive data without dive computer
-  model information
-- improve parsing of equipment data; this now accepts localized units
-  as well as input in units that are not the display units (so if you
-  run Subsurface in metric, but went diving in a place where weights
-  are in US Pounds (lbs), you can now enter the weight in lbs and
-  Subsurface does the right thing)
-- fix temperature conversion when downloading data from Uemis SDA
-- improve autocompletion to always be case insensitive
-- improve selection handling in the dive list
-- include event data in libdivecomputer dump
-- improve profiles generated for dives with no depth samples and no
-  average depth
-
-New in version 4.0.1 (compared to Subsurface 4.0):
---------------------------------------------------
-
-- fixed several bugs handling non-ASCII text both in dive info text
-  fields as well as in Windows file names
-- added support for generating libdivecomputer log and dump files
-- many improvements for import and export of other file formats
-- XSLT files are built-in as resources, avoiding issues with not
-  finding them
-- support more GPS coordinate formats
-- fixed several bugs around editing of manually entered dives
-- fixed several bugs with entering data for weights and tanks
-- increase the number of tracked weight systems to 6
-- fixed font setting in preferences
-- improved look and feel when running dark themes
-- support older versions of Mac OS/X with default DMG (>= 10.5)
-- enable https in Windows binaries
-
-New in version 4.0 (compared to Subsurface 3.1):
-------------------------------------------------
-
-With version 4.0 the Subsurface team switched to a different UI
-toolkit. This caused the need to do a complete rewrite of a large
-chunk of the Subsurface code base. We decided to keep much of the
-logic and core of the existing code around, but used the opportunity
-for quite a bit of cleanup and many improvements.
-
-The basic concepts are the same, most of the basic features are the
-same, but trying to create a concise list of changes that summarizes
-the more than 1600 commits that have gone in since version 3.1 seems a
-daunting task.
-
-Here are some of the highlights:
-
-- new map widget with a spinning globe to visualize dive locations
-- much more "native" look and feel under Windows and Mac
-- ability to edit dives "in place": simply click on an entry in the
-  Dive Notes or Equipment tabs to start editing
-- more data about each dive is presented in the Dive Notes and can
-  be edited without separate dialogs and without having to go through
-  context menues
-- graphical editor for dive profiles for manually added dives
-- better information overlay for the dive profile
-- addition of a "ruler" tool in the profile window that allows
-  measuring of many properties between two points in the profile
-- better tag system with both predefined user-specified free text tags
-- better integration with divelogs.de (upload & download support)
-- ability to show the user manual from within the application without
-  a life internet connection and without opening the manual in an
-  external browser window
-- better statistics (with per-trip statistics available)
-
-Known issues:
-
-- Filter->Select Events is not implemented
-- Dive planner has been disabled for now
-- https support for divelogs.de on Windows is disabled
-
-
-
-New in version 3.1 (compared to Subsurface 3.0.2):
---------------------------------------------------
-
-- track tags for dives (things like 'boat', 'shore', 'deep', etc)
-- enable filtering by tags
-- ability to modify events from a context menu in the dive profile
-  (this includes the ability to add gaschange events)
-- direct export / upload to the divelogs.de online logbook
-- import of Suunto DM4 files
-- improved printout formatting and printer dialog
-- support for color printing
-- dive planning: add option for last stop at 6m/20ft
-- added support for Heinrichs Weikamp OSTC3 and Suunto DX
-- native support for the Shearwater Petrel (much faster download)
-- various bug fixes
-
-
-
-New in version 3.0.2 (compared to Subsurface 3.0.1):
-----------------------------------------------------
-
-This update was mainly triggered by a bug in the handling of pO₂
-values read from CCR / rebreather dive computers. This bug can lead to
-incorrect data being stored in the Subsurface XML file. Installing
-Subsurface 3.0.2 and re-downloading the dives will correct the
-incorrect data. In order to re-download the dives connect your dive
-computer (this should only affect people with certain tec dive
-computers like the Shearwater Petrel or Predator that store pO₂ values
-read from a pO₂ sensor in their dive log), open the download dialog,
-check the box "Force download of all dives" and download your
-dives. After you save your data file the correct pO₂ data should be
-stored in the samples.
-
-If you are using one of those dive computers, have saved data files
-with Subsurface 3.0 or 3.0.1 and have since deleted those dives from
-your dive computers, please contact the developers as we also have an
-experimental script that should be able to fix incorrect XML files -
-but re-downloading the data is the much more reliable way to address
-this issue.
-
-In addition to this bug fix, 3.0.2 brings a number of other improvements:
- - A Portuguese localization of Subsurface was added.
- - Subsurface now remembers its window size and pane layout the next time
-   it is started.
- - Several importers for data for third party dive software were improved.
- - Dives from the Heinrichs & Weikamp DR5 and from kenozooid can now be
-   imported into Subsurface.
- - A crash with localized versions of Subsurface on Mac was resolved.
- - The map provider for the GPS maps is now configurable.
- - The layout of some dialog boxes was changed to improve usability on
-   small screens.
- - It is now easier to edit date and time of existing dives (and you can
-   now edit duration, maximum and average depth for dives that were
-   manually entered).
- - Several small bugs were addressed.
-
-
-New in version 3.0.1 (compared to Subsurface 3.0):
---------------------------------------------------
-
-- Several bug fixes for importing log files from other divelog software;
-  especially imports from DivingLog should work much better now, but
-  also new importer functions for UDDF and UDCF
-- Fixes for SAC calculation and gas volume estimates at high pressures
-  (air and nitrox are NOT ideal gases in the physics sense)
-- Added Help link to the online user manual
-- Improved the user manual
-- random other bug fixes
-
-
-New in version 3.0 (compared to Subsurface 2.1):
-------------------------------------------------
-
-- Many new divecomputers supported, bugfixes for existing divecomputers
-  - Cressi Leonardo, Seemann XP5, Mares Matrix, Mares Puck Pro, Mares
-    Nemo Wide 2, Shearwater Petrel, Shearwater Predator, Aeris A300
-    AI, Hollis DG03
-  - significant improvements for the Heinrichs Weiskamp OSTC

-- Support for downloading dives from multiple computers (so for example
-  both your main and your backup computer)
-- Added ability to import existing divelogs from Suunto DM3 (no manual
-  unpacking needed anymore), MacDive and divelogs.de
-- Lots of features to make tec divers happy:
-  - Experimental deco calculation with optional display of a calculated
-    ceiling (Buhlmann ZH16 with gradient factors)
-  - Display of deco information from some divecomputers that support this
-  - TriMix support
-  - CCR support (fixed or variable setpoint, on dive computers that support
-    this)
-  - Optional pO₂, pN₂ and pHe graphs
-  - CNS tracking for supported divecomputers
-- Lots of bug fixes
