This is the README file for Subsurface 4.0.
After the release of Subsurface 3.1 we merged the Qt branch into
master and started developing the Qt port of Subsurface in the master
branch. At this stage the Qt version has by and large reached
functional parity with version 3.1; two notable features are missing:
the filter by event type and the dive planner. The user experience and
look and feel on the other hand far surpass what was available in 3.1
After the release of Subsurface 3.1 the Subsurface developer team
decided to make a major change in the development direction of the
project. We switched to Qt as our UI toolkit and slowly, step by step
replaced all the Gtk with corresponding Qt code.
This caused lots of changes, from adding C++ code, switching build
systems to use qmake, to refactoring the tightly intervoven UI and
logic code that we had up until 3.1. The vast majority of this work
was done by just a handful of people with Tomaz Canabrava carrying the
biggest part of the load. As we had hoped, the switch to Qt brought us
many new active developers and the Qt community has been extremely
helpful supporting us when we ran into trouble.
At this stage the Qt version has by and large reached functional
parity with version 3.1; two notable features are missing: the filter
by event type and the dive planner. The user experience and look and
feel on the other hand far surpass what was available in 3.1.
As always in a massive rewrite like this, there are still a small
handful of known bugs and issues - please check ReleaseNotes.tzt and

The latest public version is Subsurface 4.0, released in December of 2013.
