It is open-source software (in simple terms +that means that there is no commercial interest behind it, all the source code needed to build the +app is available, there are no ads, no one is monetizing your data, etc). + +_Subsurface-mobile_ allows a more accessible dive log on the go. For example, you can prove dive +experience on a dive trip to dive shops or review previous dives while on a dive boat. +_Subsurface-mobile_ also allows the gathering of GPS locations where dives are performed. +Assuming you have a dive computer that is supported by the mobile OS of your choice, +_Subsurface-mobile_ even supports the downloading of dives from your dive computer. + +Users of _Subsurface-mobile_ typically use the mobile app together with the desktop version of +_Subsurface_, sharing dive information between the mobile and the desktop versions using a free +_Subsurface Cloud_ account. However, _Subsurface-mobile_ can also be used independently of the +desktop version and does not require the use of cloud storage. + +_Subsurface-mobile_ 3.0 is a fairly significant rewrite of our mobile app, which we believe +justifies the jump in major version number. + +== Major new features + +- We completely re-implemented the dive list and as a result you should see a very noticeable + performance improvement compared to earlier versions. As part of this rewrite, we have added a + context menu to several screens, which gives you access to additional operations. For example, + you are now able to manage dive trips in the mobile app, move dives between trips, edit trip + notes, etc. + +- You can now zoom into the dive profile with a pinch gesture and pan the zoomed-in profile by + dragging with a finger in order to better see details in the profile. + +- We added an undo and redo system which makes it much easier to deal with errors or unintended + actions that you may have taken in the mobile UI. + +- For _Android_ users, we are bringing back a major feature that we used to have a partial + implementation of: downloads from USB-serial dive computers should once again work for all Android + devices. This means you can download dive information directly to your mobile Android device from + most older Suunto dive computers, most Mares, Oceanic, Scubapro, etc. Actually, this new feature + supports quite a few more dive computer families for USB serial download than what we had before, + as now more USB serial chipsets are supported. + +== Other improvements + +- We restructured the menu system which is now more intuitive, bundling related topics together + and reducing clutter. +- You can now initiate a reset of your _Subsurface Cloud_ password from within the mobile app. +- We rewrote the _Settings_ page to make it easier to use. +- You can now select the unit system that _Subsurface-mobile_ uses to display your dive data. +- We added a new _Dive summary_ which should make it easier to give a dive center a quick overview + of your dive experience. +- We made small improvements (as a result of a complete behind-the-scenes rewrite) to the filter + code. +- You should see various usability improvements in the UI. +- You are now able to upload dive data to divelogs.de and DiveShare.com directly from your mobile + device. + + +== Bug fixes +- Several of the small oddities with the dive list in our last version should be gone; in the + previous version sometimes after editing a dive you were shown the wrong dive; sometimes after + larger operations like downloading from a dive computer or applying GPS fixes the dive list would + get completely confused and you had to restart _Subsurface-mobile_ for things to work correctly + again. Many other small improvements along those same lines. +- We made many small bug fixes in the download UI and the handling of downloaded dives. +- We fixed an issue with GPS positions that were applied to otherwise unchanged dives not being + saved to storage. + +// vim: textwidth=100 |
