Yes, there are some serious shortcomings still there. I'm surprised you 
can't go up at all - that used to work for me (but I didn't test it with the 
very last version, I guess).

I don't think it creates gas change events at all. Still missing. Also 
still missing is a way to say "I also have these gases". And code that
would switch gases during the ascent. Right now it just keeps the
last gas.

Still work in progress :-)

Now there is high praise :-)
