I feel a bit like I'm talking to myself here. Willem responded privately about the user manual and also reported a bug. Is anyone else testing?
I did see several of the translators worked on the new strings that I pushed - my heartfelt thanks for this. I will be traveling the next two weeks and should as part of this have plenty of opportunity to test Subsurface (Linux and Mac) and Subsurface-mobile (Android). Hopefully that will help me get a better idea how close we are to being able to release this. But I'd really love to hear from others since there are large parts of this software that I never use: - planner - SCR / CCR - configure dive computer - printing I know that we currently have an issue where a relatively simple sequence of operations with an undo at the end can crash the program. That would seem to be a pretty obvious show stopper for a release. Willem reported another bug that I think needs to be addressed where adding a dive manually on the desktop has changed dramatically and is fundamentally broken (and I think this is again a side effect of the new undo code). The profile that we generate uses bogus descent / ascent speeds. I'll look into this one. It would be great to see what else currently doesn't work as it should.
