= _Subsurface-mobile_ Release Notes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
_Subsurface-mobile_ is the mobile version of _Subsurface_, advanced dive logging software with
|
||
|
|
extensive infrastructure to display, organize, and interpret scuba and free dives.
|
||
|
|
_Subsurface-mobile_ is available for Android and iOS. 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.
