Subsurface 4.3 Released

Posted by samzenpus on from the check-it-out dept.

jones_supa writes "The Subsurface development team proudly announces release 4.3 of the open source divelog and dive planning program, available for all major desktop operating systems. This is the software originally founded by Linus Torvalds, and the development seems to be continuing in great pace. Subsurface now supports flexible filtering of the dive list based on criteria like tags, people or gear. Dive characteristics can now also be copied and pasted to other dives. The dive profile now offers an easy to understand tissue saturation graph that shows tissue saturation at any point during the dive. As another new feature in the dive profile, one can turn on an improved visualization of the gas combinations used during a dive. The dive computer and file format support have also gotten large improvements."

  1. Lame and not even a direct link by OzPeter · · Score: 3, Informative

    So some program with a limited audience has a new release, and not only does this make the front page, TFS doesn't even link to the software itself, but to some lame blog talking about the software.

    FWIW Subsurface

      Yea, but this story is so lame I think even degrades the site. What's next? A new recipe program is released and partially funded by Martha Stewart so it's news?

  2. Recently switched to C++/QT by Jeeeb · · Score: 2

    One interesting piece of history about this project is that they switched from using C/GTK to using C++/QT recently and apparently with very good results. Especially interesting given the way Linus' past comments on C++ have been so widely replayed.
