// _Subsurface_ 4.7.5 Release Notes

_Subsurface_ 4.7.5 - Month dd, 2017
------------------------------------------

Some of the changes since _Subsurface_ 4.7.4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Limit min. GFlow to 10 and min. GFhigh to 40 in preferences for profile
  and planner
- Fix issues related to debug logging on Windows
- Add "Bluetooth mode" in the BT selection dialog: Auto, LE, Classical
- Correct display of cylinder pressures for merged dives
- Allow user defined cylinders as default in preferences (#821)
- mobile: fix black/white switch in splash screen (#531)
- UI: tag editing. Comma entry shows all tags (again) (#605)


Some of the changes since _Subsurface_ 4.7.2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Small UI fixes
- Improvement to oxygen breaks code in planner
- Write log messages into files when not started from a console on Windows
- Improved detection of OpenGL versions (prevents potential crash on more
  operating systems with ancient gfx drivers)
- Improve the map widget editing behavior. Allow updating the location of
  a marker that is being edited by entering new coordinates in the text field
  in "real-time". Also, don't place new markers at the 0,0 coordinate and
  instead place them at the current map center.
- Improve calculation of VPM-B decompression ceiling displayed in profile.
  In 4.7.2 the VPM-B ceiling was generally under-estimated for decompression
  dives and could be grossly over-estimated for what were actually
  no-decompression dives.


Some of the changes since _Subsurface_ 4.7.1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Fix potential crash when running with French localization and
  downloading dives from a dive computer
- Fallback to old behavior if Facebook album creation fails
- Fix UI issue when adding dives to trip below
- Fix UI issue when closing filters
- Add small behavior changes to the map widget
- Change to a more consistent way to show errors in Subsurface
- Solve several potential issues with the cloud account authentication
  flow
- Fix a potential problem when saving data that was loaded from a git
  repository into cloud storage
- Fix error where newly created cloud accounts failed to create
  the remote repository on Windows
- Detect and try to work around the fact that the map module requires
  at least OpenGL 2.1 (previously Subsurface would crash when OpenGL
  was too old - often on old Win32 versions)

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
  Qt 5.9.2 or newer. Older versions of Qt will give you mixed results,
  depending on the specific dive computer you use.
  Side note for those on Windows or a Linux distro that doesn't allow BLE
  support just yet: you can use Subsurface-mobile 2.0 or later on Android
  and download from your BLE dive computer there and then transfer the
  dive data via Subsurface cloud storage.
- 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.
- Dive planner
  - Improved and more user friendly cylinder handling
  - Print delta pressure for minimum gas calculation in results
  - Identify overlapping dives when calculating dive plan
  - Compute plan variations: How does decompression time change
    due to changes of bottom time by one minute or depth by 1m?
  - Faster planning for long decompression times
- Option in user preferences to display units in main dive list table
- Show green tank change icon when switching to EAN100
- 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:
  - Aqualung i200
  - Cochran Commander II, Commander TM
  - Dive Systems/Ratio iDive2 Deep, iDive2 Easy, iDive2 Free,
    iDive2 Tech+, iX3M Deep, iX3M Easy, iX3M Pro Deep, iX3M Pro Easy,
    iX3M Pro Tech+, iX3M Reb, iX3M Tech+
  - Heinrichs Weikamp OSTC+
  - Shearwater Perdix AI (only available where BLE is supported)
  - Suunto D4f

    crushing pressures and the maximal ambient pressure between repetitive
    dives to prevent anomalies that a dive produces a shorter deco when
    following another one than without
  - Allow the user to disable tanks while planning dives (this makes it much
    easier to evaluate different scenarios)

Some of the changes since _Subsurface_ 4.5
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Subsurface no longer crashes on Windows when run in the German
  localization and using the planner
- avoid a situation in the planner where the user ends up with no usable
  cylinder when trying to create a plan
- work around an issue where in some environments the user wasn't able to
  edit the existing print templates (and no error was shown, the edits
  were just silently ignored)

  libdivecomputer)
- increase cloud storage timeout to increase the chance that this works on
  very poor internet connections (which appear to be rather typical for
  great dive locations)
- mention the Shearwater Nerd as supported computer (should be identical
  to the Petrel 2)
- some more adjustments to better suit the needs of freedivers

  result in the expected behavior
- fix upload of dives to divelogs.de on Windows
- change divelogs.de export to match the import behavior when it comes to
  splitting dive location and dive site

Some of the changes since _Subsurface_ 4.4.2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Cloud storage. +
_Subsurface_ offers a cloud storage backend that allows using the same
dive data from multiple computers. Accounts are free and tied to an email
address. An account can easily be created from within _Subsurface_
(Preferences, Network tab; simply enter a valid email address and a
password). After the user receives a verification pin and enters this in
the corresponding field in the Preferences all is set up and the cloud
storage can be transparently used from within _Subsurface_. While this is
nice for many users who have more than one computer on which they use
_Subsurface_, it is espcially useful with our upcoming _Subsurface-mobile_ app
on Android (the beta test for that will start soon).
- Web view. +
Dives stored in the _Subsurface_ cloud storage backend can also be
accessed with a web interface. Simply go to
https://cloud.subsurface-divelog.org and authenticate with the same email
address and password as set up in _Subsurface_.
- Dive site handling. +
Dive sites are now a first class citizen in
_Subsurface_ and can be managed as such. Dives include a reference to a
dive site. This also caused changes to our file format (and we bumped the
file format version to 3). On first open old data files will be backed up
and converted to the new format.
- Geo taxonomy. +
A web lookup service has been implemented that allows the
user to get geo taxonomy data based on a GPS fix - so for a dive site that
contains GPS data _Subsurface_ can look up the closest body of water, the
country or closest city.
- Significantly improved print support. +
Printing is now template driven and
allows the user to customize the format in which dives are presented in
print.
- Better Bluetooth device support. +
Instead of having to manually set up BT
devices in the OS, _Subsurface_ now has a much more intuitive UI that
allows the user to work with BT dive computers.
- VPM-B support for dive planning. +
The dive planner module in _Subsurface_
now offers a choice of deco algorithms with both Bühlmann ZH16 and VPM-B.
The VPM-B implementation is new and has been developed from scratch. We
have tested this against a number of known good profiles from the Fortran
reference code but would certainly recommend a bit of extra caution when
using it for dive planning.
- Recreational mode for dive planning +
A new planner mode for dives within no decompression limits using
a single ascent gas. This mode computes the remaining bottom time for
a diver that avoids mandantory decompression stops and stays within the
given amount of gas. This is a natural extension of non-decompression dive
tables and aids like the RDP.
- Better support for freediving. +
The dive list context menu now 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.
- Improved image import and management, +
_Subsurface_ now does a better job
when handling changes in image folder location and can add images from
URLs instead of just local files.
- Undo / redo support. +
While this does not cover all operations, yet, many
operations can now been un-done and subsequently re-done.
- Many fixes and improvements for import third part files and CSV files
- Ability to load dives exported with OSTCTools
- Support for more GPS coordinate formats
- Fix SAC rate calculation for dive computers reporting samples after the
  diver reached the surface
- Don't zoom out the globe to "sky view" when a dive site has no GPS data
- Various other small fixes


Some of the changes since _Subsurface_ 4.4.1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Improved editing of tags when multiple dives are selected

Improved handling of the sample interval when uploading data to
divelogs.de

Fixed several issues with downloads from the UEMIS SDA

added support for the new models of the Heinrichs & Weikamp OSTC 2 and OSTC 3

added support for the Tusa IQ-700

added support for the Mares Smart

added more DiveSystems iDive models

added support for Scubapro Meridian and Chromis

added / improved support for Oceanic Veo 2, Veo 3 and VTX

Known issues (and this was the case in 4.4 and 4.4.1 as well):
Suunto Eon Steel support on MacOS is currently not working as MacOS grabs
the device before Subsurface gets to see it.

Some of the changes since _Subsurface_ 4.4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Spanish, Russian and French translations of the user manual have been
updated.

Better and more flexible parsing of GPS coordinates.

Small fixes to the HTML export.

Fixed a problem where dives imported from some Shearwater dive computers
would be considered CCR dives. For dives imported in the past, manually
setting them to OC works around the issue.

Several fixes to imports from other divelog, including importing from
MacDive.

Some of the changes since _Subsurface_ 4.3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

_Subsurface_ supports posting a dive with profile pictures and some of the
relevant data to a user's timeline on Facebook.

_Subsurface_ now allows the user to select which of the dives downloaded
from a dive computer will be added to the dive list.

image::images/subsurface-dive-computer1.png["Subsurface divecomputer download dialog",align="center"]

We have added more capabilities to the CSV import for manually kept dive
logs; this now includes start and end pressure for the main tank as well
as air and water temperatures.

There is also a new interactive dialog that makes it much easier to
identify the meaning of various columns in CSV import.

image::images/subsurface-csv.png["Subsurface csv import dialog",align="center"]

_Subsurface_ can now import dive databases from the Cobalt divelog program.

_Subsurface_ profile drawing has been sped up significantly which also improved
the situation when using the visual editor to add dives or plan dives.

We have made more progress with PSCR support - still not fully functional,
but getting closer. It is now possible to select the type of a dive (OC,
CCR, PSCR) in the UI.

Changes to a dive location on the globe now trigger dive edit mode and can
be rejected. GPS coordinates are shown immediately when selecting a dive
site on the globe.

For owners of the Heinrichs & Weikamp OSTC 3 and OSTC Sport  _Subsurface_
now supports updating the firmware and informs users of new firmware
releases.

We added support for importing logs from the Divesoft Freedom

We went back to a single, Qt5 based 32bit binary that works on all
versions of Windows, 32 or 64bit, all the way back to Windows XP.

Some of the changes since _Subsurface_ 4.2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

_Subsurface_ now supports flexible filtering of the dive list. When the filter
is opened,one can
specify a combination of different criteria like tags, people who were on
the dive, dive site, suit, etc. While filtering one can see how many dives
match any of the criteria, and how many dives match the combination of the
selected criteria (see the panel below the main menu in the image below)

image::images/V4.3_Subsurface_filter.jpg["Subsurface panel",align="center"]

When editing a dive, one can now copy information about a dive
and paste it into one or more other dives. This makes it easy to add the
same equipment, buddies, tags or other aspects of a dive into a group of
dives with similar characteristics.

The dive profile now offers an easy to understand
tissue saturation graph that shows tissue saturation at any
point during the dive. (See image below)

image::images/V4.3_CylBars.jpg["Cylinder bars and tissue saturation graph",align="center"]

In the dive profile one can turn on an improved visualization of the
gas combinations used during a dive (aka "tank bar" with different gases represented
by different colours, see image above).

Owners of the Heinrichs & Weikamp OSTC 2 and 3 as well as dive computers
in the popular Suunto Vyper family of dive computers can configure the
settings of their dive computers using _Subsurface_.

For a number of dive computers _Subsurface_ now downloads additional data and
shows them in a new tab on the screen. This includes (depending on the
dive computer) information like battery levels, no fly times, Gradient
Factors used during the dive, etc. This feature is enabled in all official
_Subsurface_ binaries and includes the Uemis Zurich SDA. When building
from source this requires a custom
version of libdivecomputer (as explained in the INSTALL file).

The dive planner now offers the ability to re-plan dives and to create duplicate
dive plans in order to plan multiple scenarios.

We added support for several new dive computers including the Suunto EON
Steel, Aeris A300 CD, and Aeris F11.

_Subsurface_ can now import dive logs from Liquivision and Cochran software
as well as the new Suunto DM5.

We made many improvements for UDDF and CSV import, UDDF export now
complies with the latest version of the standard.

Many issues with the HTML export were addressed.

Initial support for closed circuit rebreathers (CCR) and pSCR was added.
Dive logs from the Poseidon MkVI
CCR can be imported. Visualization of dive logs as
well as dive planning should work - but this feature is fairly early in
its development and we assume that there may be a few bugs and
mis-features hidden in this area. Here is a dive profile for a Poseidon MkVI:

image::images/V4.3_CCR.jpg["CCR dive profile",align="center"]

*Other notable improvements*

- Import of manually logged dives (e.g., from an existing paper logbook)
  is now much better documented in the user manual. Instead of having to
  individually enter each dive with the graphical profile editor users can
  add all their dives in a spreadsheet and import the data from there into
  _Subsurface_ in one single operation.
- Many other small improvements to the planner
- Many small UI changes for better use on small displays (tighter columns
  and column headers on the dive list, the toolbox of icons no longer
  forces a minimum height of the profile, etc)
- Improvements on HiDPI displays
- We fixed an annoying bug where when starting to edit a dive the pop-up
  with completions would cover the edit line (this usually happened when
  editing tags)
- For the (rather unusual) dive computers that send a heading event in
  every sample we automatically declutter the profile display now
- The Windows installer is smarter: the 64bit installer refuses to
  install its binaries on a 32bit OS and conversely the installer warns
  you when installing 32bit binaries on a 64bit OS
- Better synchronization with divelogs.de, including support for multiple
  tanks

*Known bugs*

- There appears to be a bug in Qt: when changing the password needed
  authenticate with a proxy, _Subsurface_ will not use the new password
  until after a restart

Some of the changes since 4.1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- The Windows installer is now a 64bit installer including Qt5
- There is still a deprecated 32bit installer including Qt4, but that has
  several known issues (among others, printing has a number of bugs that
  were fixed in Qt5).
- The Mac installer has also been updated to Qt5
- A current development version of libdivecomputer is used for the Windows
  and Mac builds.
- A Dive Planner got added again, using the graphical profile editor; it
  supports different ascent speeds, backgas breaks during deco and many
  other interesting features; it allows the user to print just the dive
  plan (without graphic profile); one shortcoming is that currently one
  cannot re-plan a planned dive, i.e., once you save a dive plan, you can
  no longer edit / change the plan; you have to start from scratch again.
  This is on the todo list.
- Pictures can be associated with dives and shown in the profile
- Printing is much improved (but see above), including a "1 dive per page"
  mode, better rendering of dives (in our mind) and better data
  presented per dive.
- Data entry for dives is much more intuitive and consistent
- We have a reasonably functional HTML exporter for the dive log (it's
  still work in progress but already quite powerful, even though lacking
  localization support).
- Support to import dive log files from Seabear dive computers.
- We added a user survey to learn more about the interests and needs of
  out users
- improved and extended user manuals
- new translated user manuals in Spanish and Russian

*Known issues:*

- (Windows specific) Many Windows fonts don't support specific characters,
  specifically subscript "2" (eg in pO₂). New installations of _Subsurface_
  will automatically pick a font that contains this character, but if you
  had _Subsurface_ installed on a specific system before, it likely has
  saved the previous font in its settings. In that case the best solution
  is to manually change the font to one that contains this character,
  e.g. Calibri.

- (Windows specific) When upgrading from _Subsurface_ 4.1, after saving of a
  logfile the logfile's name may be listed a second time in the files menu
  because of a change in the representation of logfiles filename in the
  Windows registry.

- There are a number of small inconsistencies in the UI when editing
  multiple dives. For example, if multiple dives are edited and some of
  them already have coordinates set, under certain circumstances the
  changes aren't saved. To circumvent this bug only edit dives with the
  same coordinates or edit the dives individually.

- (Windows specific - only 64bit) If an ad blocker is used and set to
  offline mode, the manual check for an update crashes _Subsurface_.

- When using the globe / map widget to edit dive locations, double clicks
  some times fail to set the correct position.

- Sometimes the globe will show the same pane several times. Try to zoom
  in or out of the location and give the system time to download the map
  tiles in the background - on slower network connections this can take a
  while.


New in version 4.1 (compared to _Subsurface_ 4.0.3):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- new and improved profile widget with animations, better info box, and

  as well as input in units that are not the display units (so if you
  run _Subsurface_ in metric, but went diving in a place where weights
  are in US Pounds (lbs), you can now enter the weight in lbs and
  _Subsurface_ does the right thing)
- fix temperature conversion when downloading data from Uemis SDA
- improve autocompletion to always be case insensitive
- improve selection handling in the dive list
- include event data in libdivecomputer dump
- improve profiles generated for dives with no depth samples and no
  average depth

New in version 4.0.1 (compared to _Subsurface_ 4.0):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- fixed several bugs handling non-ASCII text both in dive info text
  fields as well as in Windows file names
- added support for generating libdivecomputer log and dump files
- many improvements for import and export of other file formats
- XSLT files are built-in as resources, avoiding issues with not
  finding them
- support more GPS coordinate formats
- fixed several bugs around editing of manually entered dives
- fixed several bugs with entering data for weights and tanks
- increase the number of tracked weight systems to 6
- fixed font setting in preferences
- improved look and feel when running dark themes
- support older versions of Mac OS/X with default DMG (>= 10.5)
- enable https in Windows binaries

New in version 4.0 (compared to _Subsurface_ 3.1):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With version 4.0 the _Subsurface_ team switched to a different UI
toolkit. This caused the need to do a complete rewrite of a large
chunk of the _Subsurface_ code base. We decided to keep much of the
logic and core of the existing code around, but used the opportunity
for quite a bit of cleanup and many improvements.

The basic concepts are the same, most of the basic features are the
same, but trying to create a concise list of changes that summarizes
the more than 1600 commits that have gone in since version 3.1 seems a
daunting task.

*Here are some of the highlights:*

- new map widget with a spinning globe to visualize dive locations
- much more "native" look and feel under Windows and Mac
- ability to edit dives "in place": simply click on an entry in the
  Dive Notes or Equipment tabs to start editing
- more data about each dive is presented in the Dive Notes and can
  be edited without separate dialogs and without having to go through
  context menues
- graphical editor for dive profiles for manually added dives
- better information overlay for the dive profile
- addition of a "ruler" tool in the profile window that allows
  measuring of many properties between two points in the profile
- better tag system with both predefined user-specified free text tags
- better integration with divelogs.de (upload & download support)
- ability to show the user manual from within the application without
  a life internet connection and without opening the manual in an
  external browser window
- better statistics (with per-trip statistics available)

*Known issues:*

- Filter->Select Events is not implemented
- Dive planner has been disabled for now
- https support for divelogs.de on Windows is disabled



New in version 3.1 (compared to _Subsurface_ 3.0.2):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- track tags for dives (things like 'boat', 'shore', 'deep', etc)
- enable filtering by tags
- ability to modify events from a context menu in the dive profile
  (this includes the ability to add gaschange events)
- direct export / upload to the divelogs.de online logbook
- import of Suunto DM4 files
- improved printout formatting and printer dialog
- support for color printing
- dive planning: add option for last stop at 6m/20ft
- added support for Heinrichs Weikamp OSTC3 and Suunto DX
- native support for the Shearwater Petrel (much faster download)
- various bug fixes



New in version 3.0.2 (compared to _Subsurface_ 3.0.1):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This update was mainly triggered by a bug in the handling of pO₂
values read from CCR / rebreather dive computers. This bug can lead to
incorrect data being stored in the _Subsurface_ XML file. Installing
_Subsurface_ 3.0.2 and re-downloading the dives will correct the
incorrect data. In order to re-download the dives connect your dive
computer (this should only affect people with certain tec dive
computers like the Shearwater Petrel or Predator that store pO₂ values
read from a pO₂ sensor in their dive log), open the download dialog,
check the box "Force download of all dives" and download your
dives. After you save your data file the correct pO₂ data should be
stored in the samples.

If you are using one of those dive computers, have saved data files
with _Subsurface_ 3.0 or 3.0.1 and have since deleted those dives from
your dive computers, please contact the developers as we also have an
experimental script that should be able to fix incorrect XML files -
but re-downloading the data is the much more reliable way to address
this issue.

In addition to this bug fix, 3.0.2 brings a number of other improvements:
- A Portuguese localization of _Subsurface_ was added.
- _Subsurface_ now remembers its window size and pane layout the next time
   it is started.
- Several importers for data for third party dive software were improved.
- Dives from the Heinrichs & Weikamp DR5 and from kenozooid can now be
   imported into _Subsurface_.
- A crash with localized versions of _Subsurface_ on Mac was resolved.
- The map provider for the GPS maps is now configurable.
- The layout of some dialog boxes was changed to improve usability on
   small screens.
- It is now easier to edit date and time of existing dives (and you can
   now edit duration, maximum and average depth for dives that were
   manually entered).
- Several small bugs were addressed.


New in version 3.0.1 (compared to _Subsurface_ 3.0):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Several bug fixes for importing log files from other divelog software;
  especially imports from DivingLog should work much better now, but
  also new importer functions for UDDF and UDCF
- Fixes for SAC calculation and gas volume estimates at high pressures
  (air and nitrox are NOT ideal gases in the physics sense)
- Added Help link to the online user manual
- Improved the user manual
- random other bug fixes


New in version 3.0 (compared to _Subsurface_ 2.1):
