This is the README file for Subsurface 4.2
This is the README file for Subsurface 4.1.94, the fifth Beta for 4.2
It turns out a number of problems were caused by us still relying on Qt4
for the Windows (and Mac) binaries. In part that was because Qt5 32bit
installer for Windows were failing in strange ways.
To work around this issues we made a rather drastic decision - there's now
a 64bit Windows installer that includes Qt5 (and the Mac binaries have
been moved over to Qt5 as well).
While redoing the supporting cast we also switched to a newer Marble build
and a newer libdivecomputer for the Mac and Windows installers.
This (plus a bunch of patches) seems to have fixed a respectable number of
bugs in Beta 4. Let's see how Beta 5 goes...
Another new feature is a Russian translation of the manual, in addition to
English and Spanish.
Please be very careful when using it on your real data - while this is
reasonably well tested by our developers, there's always a risk that this
could eat your data file in unexpected ways (as Beta 2 has shown).
Please check the ReleaseNotes.txt for details about new features and
changes since Subsurface 4.1

Install and start from the desktop, or you can run it locally from the
build directory:
On Linux:
$ ./subsurface
On Mac:
$ open Subsurface.app
Native builds on Windows are not really supported (the official Windows
installers are both cross-built on Linux).
You can give a data file as command line argument, or (once you have
set this up in the Preferences) Subsurface picks a default file for
you when started from the desktop or without an argument.
