As you may know, Subsurface is a diving log application, written by Linus Torvalds himself. The latest version available is Subsurface 4.5.3, which has been recently released, coming with changes:
- Fix confusing warning about different number of tanks and gases on some Suunto dive computers
- Fix missing temperatures on some Suunto dive computers
- Fix several corner cases in the Uemis support
- Fix a few random UI inconsistencies (UI elements not being cleared / removed / reset in certain circumstances)
- Cloud storage: no longer store picture binary data in the Subsurface cloud storage — this could cause excessively long sync times
- When matching dive site names when entering a location name, match anywhere in the location name, not just from the beginning (this makes it much easier to find existing dive locations if you remember only part of the name)
- Some fixes for importing data from other formats
- English user manual has been updated for language consistency and readability
