Only having release notes for the desktop version really doesn't make sense anymore. Signed-off-by: Dirk Hohndel <dirk@hohndel.org>

= _Subsurface-mobile_ Release Notes
|
||||
|
||||
_Subsurface-mobile_ is the mobile version of _Subsurface_, advanced dive logging software with
|
||||
extensive infrastructure to display, organize, and interpret scuba and free dives.
|
||||
_Subsurface-mobile_ is available for Android and iOS. It is open-source software (in simple terms
|
||||
that means that there is no commercial interest behind it, all the source code needed to build the
|
||||
app is available, there are no ads, no one is monetizing your data, etc).
|
||||
|
||||
_Subsurface-mobile_ allows a more accessible dive log on the go. For example, you can prove dive
|
||||
experience on a dive trip to dive shops or review previous dives while on a dive boat.
|
||||
_Subsurface-mobile_ also allows the gathering of GPS locations where dives are performed.
|
||||
Assuming you have a dive computer that is supported by the mobile OS of your choice,
|
||||
_Subsurface-mobile_ even supports the downloading of dives from your dive computer.
|
||||
|
||||
Users of _Subsurface-mobile_ typically use the mobile app together with the desktop version of
|
||||
_Subsurface_, sharing dive information between the mobile and the desktop versions using a free
|
||||
_Subsurface Cloud_ account. However, _Subsurface-mobile_ can also be used independently of the
|
||||
desktop version and does not require the use of cloud storage.
|
||||
|
||||
_Subsurface-mobile_ 3.0 is a fairly significant rewrite of our mobile app, which we believe
|
||||
justifies the jump in major version number.
|
||||
|
||||
== Major new features
|
||||
|
||||
- We completely re-implemented the dive list and as a result you should see a very noticeable
|
||||
performance improvement compared to earlier versions. As part of this rewrite, we have added a
|
||||
context menu to several screens, which gives you access to additional operations. For example,
|
||||
you are now able to manage dive trips in the mobile app, move dives between trips, edit trip
|
||||
notes, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
- You can now zoom into the dive profile with a pinch gesture and pan the zoomed-in profile by
|
||||
dragging with a finger in order to better see details in the profile.
|
||||
|
||||
- We added an undo and redo system which makes it much easier to deal with errors or unintended
|
||||
actions that you may have taken in the mobile UI.
|
||||
|
||||
- For _Android_ users, we are bringing back a major feature that we used to have a partial
|
||||
implementation of: downloads from USB-serial dive computers should once again work for all Android
|
||||
devices. This means you can download dive information directly to your mobile Android device from
|
||||
most older Suunto dive computers, most Mares, Oceanic, Scubapro, etc. Actually, this new feature
|
||||
supports quite a few more dive computer families for USB serial download than what we had before,
|
||||
as now more USB serial chipsets are supported.
|
||||
|
||||
== Other improvements
|
||||
|
||||
- We restructured the menu system which is now more intuitive, bundling related topics together
|
||||
and reducing clutter.
|
||||
- You can now initiate a reset of your _Subsurface Cloud_ password from within the mobile app.
|
||||
- We rewrote the _Settings_ page to make it easier to use.
|
||||
- You can now select the unit system that _Subsurface-mobile_ uses to display your dive data.
|
||||
- We added a new _Dive summary_ which should make it easier to give a dive center a quick overview
|
||||
of your dive experience.
|
||||
- We made small improvements (as a result of a complete behind-the-scenes rewrite) to the filter
|
||||
code.
|
||||
- You should see various usability improvements in the UI.
|
||||
- You are now able to upload dive data to divelogs.de and DiveShare.com directly from your mobile
|
||||
device.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Bug fixes
|
||||
- Several of the small oddities with the dive list in our last version should be gone; in the
|
||||
previous version sometimes after editing a dive you were shown the wrong dive; sometimes after
|
||||
larger operations like downloading from a dive computer or applying GPS fixes the dive list would
|
||||
get completely confused and you had to restart _Subsurface-mobile_ for things to work correctly
|
||||
again. Many other small improvements along those same lines.
|
||||
- We made many small bug fixes in the download UI and the handling of downloaded dives.
|
||||
- We fixed an issue with GPS positions that were applied to otherwise unchanged dives not being
|
||||
saved to storage.
