// _Subsurface_ 4.6 Release Notes
// _Subsurface_ 4.7 Release Notes
_Subsurface_ 4.6.4 - April 2017
_Subsurface_ 4.7 - late 2017
------------------------------------------
Some of the changes since _Subsurface_ 4.6.4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Early and limited support for Bluetooth LE dive computers.
Currently BLE isn't supported at all on Windows due to lack of support
for Windows in the underlying toolkit that we use. BLE appears to work
reasonably well on Mac and works on Linux if Subsurface is built against
the latest Qt - unfortunately even Qt 5.9.1 is still missing one
critical patch that is needed for some of the BLE dive computers.
Side note for those on Windows or a Linux distro that doesn't allow BLE
support just yet: you can use Subsurface-mobile 2.x or later on Android
and download from your BLE dive computer there.
- New map widget. No more rotating globe, but much better support for
the underlying widget - so overall an improvement.
- Many small UI fixes
- Support for multiple tank sensors reporting pressure at the same time.
This is something that we hadn't seen before outside of CCR dives, but
some newer dive computers support this for example for side mount
divers. We now correctly download these data from the dive computers
that support it, store and retrieve the pressure data, and visualize
multiple tank pressure readings at the same time.
- Better support for importing dive data from Shearwater desktop, DL7,
Datatrak and other 3rd party formats.
- Support for OSTC 4 configuration
- Updated Facebook support to use a newer, still actively supported API.
- Many bug fixes
- Added support for the following dive computers:
- Shearwater Perdix AI (only available where BLE is supported)
