Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, Subsurface is a diving log application, written by Linus Torvalds himself. The latest version available is Subsurface 4.4.1, which has been recently released, coming with a lot of changes.
- 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.
- New build script that should make it easier to build Subsurface from source on Linux distribution we don’t provide packages for.
For information about this release, see the official announcement.
