@ -5,8 +5,25 @@ In fall of 2011, when a forced lull in kernel development gave him an
opportunity to start on a new endeavor, Linus Torvalds decided to tackle
his frustration with the lack of decent divelog software on Linux.
Subsurface is the result of the work of him and a team of developers
since then.
Subsurface is the result of the work of him and a team of developers since
then. It now supports Linux, Windows and MacOS and allows data import from
a large number of dive computers and several existing divelog programs. It
provides advanced visualization of the key information provided by a
modern dive computer and allows the user to track a wide variety of data
about their diving.
Subsurface is able to track multi-tank dives with air, Nitrox or TriMix,
weights and exposure protection used, dive masters and dive buddies and
allows the user to rate dives and provide additional dive notes. It
calculates a wide variety of statistics of the user's diving and
calculates and tracks information like SAC rate or OTU.
Subsurface allows the user to print out a detailed log book including dive
profiles and other relevant information. The program is localized in about
a dozen languages and well supported by an active developer community. In
fall of 2012 Dirk Hohndel has taken over as Subsurface maintainer.
The latest version is Subsurface 2.1, released in October of 2012.
