Hi David, always create tickets for bugs you find. We can then sort it out on the bug tracker. > - Is there a user-level change log? (An overview would do.) We're so busy with working on the actual code, we havn't managed to write the changelog yet.. oh and the manual needs serious work.

Hold the button for several seconds to get airspace info. That is needed because XCSoar can't know if you want to see a waypoint or an airspace. > - The config->setup system->Site screen is confusing, especially in > connection with the terrain file generator: > a) The terrain generator is fantastic from a technical standpoint, but it > should make it easier for people to choose the right file format (XCM, not > ZIP).

A new map generator is being written by Tobias, it will replace this one. This confusing option is not present there.
