i went through the commits and this is what i ended up with - attached patch.
- Minor formatting changes (to the release notes lines - e.g.
consistent "Subsurface-mobile:")
- Added a couple of missing notes
- Make the ReleaseNotes.txt format to indicate the latest
version on top
Here is a quick write up based on the previous one:
----------------------------------------------------
Announcing Subsurface 4.7.5
This version of Subsurface makes a set of improvements in the
Bluetooth integration, the planner, the map widget and the dive photo
user interface.
Some of the changes in Subsurface 4.7.5:
- Compute plan variations in background to improve responsiveness
- Improve profile rescaling in planner
- Store the gas switch depth of a cylinder from the planner in the logbook
file or git storage. No more need to reenter this value on replanning.
- Improved handling of different information (divemaster, buddy, suit, notes)
when merging two dives.
- 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
- Tag-editing: comma entry shows all tags (again)
- Printing: the bundled templates are now read-only and are always overwritten
by the application. The first time the user runs this update, backup files
of the previous templates would be created
- Fix issues with filters not updating after changes to the dive list
- Map-widget: allow updating coordinates on the map when the user
is editing a dive site by pressing Enter or clicking a "flag" button
- Map-widget: prevent glitches when the user is interacting with the map
while animations are in progress
- Planner: don't accidentally enable o2breaks option when entering planner in
recreational mode
- Various small improvements in the dive photo UI
Binaries are available for Windows, Mac, and an AppImage for x86-64 Linux.
Distribution specific binaries for a number of Linux flavors including
<list ?> are available too.
----------------------------------------------------
^ i would also add this:
----------------------------------------------------
Our build system now supports a continuous build which allows you to
run the latest development version for testing purposes:
https://github.com/Subsurface-divelog/subsurface/releases/tag/continuous
NOTE: Could be unstable, use at your own risk!

maybe in time the rules and formal rules will establish them self -
i.e. "learn as we go".
yes, the "always 2 people reviewing" scenario is ideal, but overkill
for all commits.
