Update of the release notes for V4.3
This updates the V4.3 release notes.
1) The release notes text is moved into a newly-created directory ReleaseNotes
2) Three images for the release notes are created in a subdirectory within
the ReleaseNotes directory.
3) Light editing of the complete text of the release notes was done.

One can +specify a combination of different criteria like tags, people who were on +the dive, dive site, suit, etc. While filtering one can see how many dives +match any of the criteria, and how many dives match the combination of the +selected criteria (see image below) + +image::images/V4.3_Filter.jpg["Filter panel",align="center"] + +When editing a dive, one can now copy information about a dive +and paste it into one or more other dives. This makes it easy to add the +same equipment, buddies, tags or other aspects of a dive into a group of +dives with similar characteristics. + +The dive profile now offers an easy to understand +tissue saturation graph that shows tissue saturation at any +point during the dive. (See image below) + +image::images/V4.3_CylBars.jpg["Cylinder bars and tissue saturation graph",align="center"] + +In the dive profile one can turn on an improved visualization of the +gas combinations used during a dive (aka "tank bar" with different gases represented +by different colours, see image above). + +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 using _Subsurface_. + +For a number of dive computers _Subsurface_ now downloads additional 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 and includes the Uemis Zurich SDA. When building +from source this requires a custom +version of libdivecomputer (as explained in the INSTALL file). + +The dive planner now offers the ability to re-plan dives and to create duplicate +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. + +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 closed circuit rebreathers (CCR) and pSCR was added. +Dive logs from the Poseidon MkVI +CCR can be imported. 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. Here is a dive profile for a Poseidon MkVI: + +image::images/V4.3_CCR.jpg["CCR dive profile",align="center"] + +*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 into + _Subsurface_ in one single operation. +- 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 is 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* + +- There 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.

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 +- Significantly improved selection of divecomputers for direct download +- Map display of GPS locations of dives and ability to enter and edit those +- Improved automatic dive numbering +- Data overlay for profile plot (with additional statistics information) +- Zoom function for profile plot +- Dive planner +- Improved printing support +- Improved dive trip handling +- 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 diff --git a/ReleaseNotes/images/V4.3_CCR.jpg b/ReleaseNotes/images/V4.3_CCR.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 000000000..5a9ab413e --- /dev/null +++ b/ReleaseNotes/images/V4.3_CCR.jpg diff --git a/ReleaseNotes/images/V4.3_CylBars.jpg b/ReleaseNotes/images/V4.3_CylBars.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 000000000..850d821c0 --- /dev/null +++ b/ReleaseNotes/images/V4.3_CylBars.jpg diff --git a/ReleaseNotes/images/V4.3_Filter.jpg b/ReleaseNotes/images/V4.3_Filter.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 000000000..47a6c4c2b --- /dev/null +++ b/ReleaseNotes/images/V4.3_Filter.jpg |
