Subsurface 4.3 - released December 2014

+
+

The Subsurface development team proudly announces +release 4.3 of Subsurface, an open source divelog and dive planning +program for Windows, Mac and Linux.

+

License: GPLv2

+

Subsurface can be found at: http://Subsurface-divelog.org

+
+

Some of the changes since Subsurface 4.2

+

Subsurface now supports flexible filtering of the dive list. 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)

+
+
+Filter panel +
+
+

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)

+
+
+Cylinder bars and tissue saturation graph +
+
+

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:

+
+
+CCR dive profile +
+
+

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. 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 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) +

    +
    • +
+

    +
    • +
  • +

    +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) +

    +
    • +

  • +

    +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 +

    +

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. 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.

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 new file mode 100644 index 000000000..5a9ab413e Binary files /dev/null and b/ReleaseNotes/images/V4.3_CCR.jpg differ diff --git a/ReleaseNotes/images/V4.3_CylBars.jpg b/ReleaseNotes/images/V4.3_CylBars.jpg new file mode 100644 index 000000000..850d821c0 Binary files /dev/null and b/ReleaseNotes/images/V4.3_CylBars.jpg differ diff --git a/ReleaseNotes/images/V4.3_Filter.jpg b/ReleaseNotes/images/V4.3_Filter.jpg new file mode 100644 index 000000000..47a6c4c2b Binary files /dev/null and b/ReleaseNotes/images/V4.3_Filter.jpg differ -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
