Subsurface 3.9 Beta
|
|
|
|
|
===================
|
2013-02-20 19:57:13 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2013-11-14 13:32:12 +00:00
|
|
|
The Subsurface developer team is proud to announce the first beta release
|
|
|
|
|
of the latest version of Subsurface.
|
2013-02-20 19:57:13 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Subsurface is an open source divelog program that runs on Windows, Mac
|
|
|
|
|
and Linux.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-02-21 15:29:14 +00:00
|
|
|
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
|
2013-05-13 17:30:47 +00:00
|
|
|
a dive profile with all related information including air consumption
|
2013-02-21 15:29:14 +00:00
|
|
|
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.
|
2013-02-21 05:26:26 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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,
|
2013-02-20 19:57:13 +00:00
|
|
|
partial pressures of O2, N2 and He, calculated deco information, and
|
|
|
|
|
many more.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-02-21 15:29:14 +00:00
|
|
|
Subsurface allows the user to print out a detailed log book including
|
|
|
|
|
dive profiles and other relevant information. The program is localized
|
2013-11-14 13:32:12 +00:00
|
|
|
in more than a dozen languages (but the localization in the first beta
|
|
|
|
|
is mostly incomplete) and well supported by an active developer community.
|
2013-02-21 15:29:14 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2013-02-20 20:59:19 +00:00
|
|
|
One of the major strengths of Subsurface is its support of a wide range
|
2013-05-13 17:30:47 +00:00
|
|
|
of dive computers (most common dive computers are supported with the help
|
|
|
|
|
of libdivecomputer); a detailed list is at
|
2013-02-20 19:57:13 +00:00
|
|
|
http://subsurface.hohndel.org/documentation/supported-dive-computers).
|
|
|
|
|
Subsurface can also import existing dive logs from several sources
|
2013-05-13 17:30:47 +00:00
|
|
|
including MacDive, Suunto DM3/DM4, JDiveLog and divelogs.de. Another
|
2013-02-20 19:57:13 +00:00
|
|
|
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
|
2013-02-21 15:29:14 +00:00
|
|
|
air consumption) during the dive through the coloring of the graphs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-11-14 13:32:12 +00:00
|
|
|
New in version 3.9 (compared to Subsurface 3.1):
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I don't even know where to begin. This is a complete rewrite of the UI.
|
|
|
|
|
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 1100 commits that have gone in since 3.1 seems a daunting task.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe we'll come up with something better in time for the next beta (or at
|
|
|
|
|
least for the final release of Subsurface 4.0).

|
|
|
|
2013-05-13 17:30:47 +00:00
|
|
|
New in version 3.1 (compared to Subsurface 3.0.2):
|
2013-11-14 13:32:12 +00:00
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
2013-05-13 17:30:47 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- 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
|
2013-05-14 09:44:28 +00:00
|
|
|
- added support for Heinrichs Weikamp OSTC3 and Suunto DX
|
|
|
|
|
- native support for the Shearwater Petrel (much faster download)
|
2013-05-13 17:30:47 +00:00
|
|
|
- various bug fixes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-03-04 07:47:58 +00:00
|
|
|
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.

|
2013-02-26 21:29:23 +00:00

|
|
|
- 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
|
|
|
