// _Subsurface_ 4.5 Beta 3 Release Notes // _Subsurface_ 4.5 Release Notes
_Subsurface_ 4.5 Beta 3 - October 2015
----------------------------------------
Some of the changes since _Subsurface_ 4.5 Beta 2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*The following issues have been addressed:*
- Triage all issues reported in Coverity scans and fix actual bugs detected
- Fix a possible crash in the Uemis downloader
- Print less debug information to the console (unless in verbose mode)
- Small adjustments to the VPM-B parameters
- Fix a UI bug by reimplementing the input widget for dive locations
- Fix BT issues
- Fix cloud storage issues on some versions of Windows
- Fix SAC rate calculation for dive computers reporting samples after the
diver reached the surface
- Improve the handling of GPS data imported from the Subsurface webservice
- Don't zoom out the globe to "sky view" when a dive site has no GPS data
- Various other small fixes
*The following feature has been added:*
- A new action was added to the dive list context menu that allows the
user to split a dive into multiple dives at a surface interval. If the
dive computer reports "free dive" mode the split(s) happen at every
surface interval of at least 10 seconds, otherwise the threshold is 60
seconds.
Some of the changes since _Subsurface_ 4.5 Beta 1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*The following issues have been addressed:*
- crash when uploading dive data to divelogs.de
- printing now works with the Mac bundle
- stability improvements for BT support
- fix for several bugs in the Uemis import
- the "spinner" UI effect to show activity when syncing with cloud storage
was replaced by a more conventional progress dialog that appears to work
much more reliably
- the Mac bundle should finally validate on newer Macs with Gatekeeper
enabled
- Facebook sharing has been moved to a menu entry and no longer shows up
as an icon next to the notes field
- small adjustments to the VPM-B implementation to bring it even closer to
the reference implementation
- many updates to the user manual and the UI translations
- various other small bug fixes in response to bug reports
*Known issues*
- Windows 10 appears to have a bug in the Bluetooth SPP communication so
using that to communicate with BT dive computers on Windows 10 may not
work until Microsoft releases a fix. Native BT should work.

and can run out of memory on really large dive profiles
- The Bluetooth subsystem definitely needs more testing and doesn't appear
to work reliably for all testers
