Subsurface 4.2 Beta 5
=====================
Some of the changes since 4.1
- The Windows installer is now a 64bit installer including Qt5
- There is still a deprecated 32bit installer including Qt4, but that has
several known issues (among others, printing has a number of bugs that
were fixed in Qt5).
- The Mac installer has already been updated to Qt5
- A current development version of libdivecomputer is used for the Windows
and Mac builds.
- Dive Planner got added again, using the graphical profile editor
(we still cannot re-plan a planned dive - this is on the todo list)
- Pictures can be associated with dives and shown in the profile
- Printing is much improved (but see above)
- Data entry for dives is much more intuitive and consistent
- First steps towards an HTML exporter
- Support to import dive log files from Seabear dive computers
- User survey added to learn more about the needs of out users
- Subsurface no longer pretends to be Mozilla 5 when connecting to web
services
- User manual is now in English, Spanish and Russian
(I'm sure there are more things I am missing)

Known issues:
- (Windows specific) Many Windows fonts don't support specific characters,
specifically subscript "2" (eg in pO₂). New installations of Subsurface
will automatically pick a font that contains this character, but if you
had Subsurface installed on a specific system before, it likely has
saved the previous font in its settings. In that case the best solution
is to manually change the font to one that contains this character,
e.g. Calibri.
- (Windows specific) When upgrading from Subsurface 4.1, after saving of a
logfile the logfiles name may be listed a second time in the files menua
because of a change in the representation of logfiles filename in the
Windows registry.
Known bugs:
- There are a number of small inconsistencies in the UI when editing
multiple dives. For example, if multiple dives are edited and some of
them already have coordinates set, under certain circumstances the
changes aren't saved. To circumvent this bug only edit dives with the
same coordinates or edit the dives individually.
- (Windows specific - only 64bit) If an ad blocker is used and set to
offline mode, the manual check for an update crashes subsurface.
- When using the globe / map widget to edit dive locations, double clicks
some times fail to set the correct position.
- Sometimes Marble will show the same pane several times. Try to zoom in
or out of the location.
