Dive site handling - dive sites are now a first class citizen in
Subsurface and can be managed as such. Dives include a reference to a dive
site. This also caused changes to our file format (and we bumped the file
format version to 3).
Web view. Dives stored in the _Subsurface_ cloud storage backend can also be
accessed with a web interface.

dive site. This also caused changes to our file format (and we bumped the
file format version to 3). On first open old data files will be backed up
and converted to the new format.
Geo taxonomy. A web lookup service has been implemented that allows the
user to get geo taxonomy data based on a GPS fix - so for a dive site that
contains GPS data _Subsurface_ can look up the closest body of water, the
country or closest city.
Significantly improved print support. Printing is now template driven and
allows the user to customize the format in which dives are presented in
print.
Better Bluetooth device support. Instead of having to manually set up BT
devices in the OS Subsurface now has a much more intuitive UI that allows
the user to work with BT dive computers.
