This is the README file for the 3.9 Beta version of Subsurface.
After the release of Subsurface 3.1 we merged the Qt branch into
master and are now developing the Qt port of Subsurface in the master
branch. At this stage the Qt version is not functional as a divelog -
edit and import capabilities are missing and many other areas need
more work. So unless you are planning to participate in the ongoing
development you most likely want to switch to the Gtk branch as that
will get you the latest version of the fully functional Subsurface.

The developers feel that this version is reasonably stable, but it has
known bugs - please check trac.hohndel.org. Do not use this on your "real"
dive log files unless you have good backups. Check the XML files after you

what you intended to do.
And most importantly, please provide us with feedback.

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
