There is a new variant of the Aladin 2G, which has a different model 
number than the original Aladin 2G. This new variant is only supported 
in libdivecomputer version 0.4.2. If you try to download the new variant 
using an older version, the downloading will succeed (because the 
communication protocol hasn't changed), but the parsing will fail 
(because the parser doesn't know about the new model number).

I think that's exactly what you are seeing here. The download succeeds 
and the progress bar reaches 100%, but you get no dives in the logbook 
because the parsing fails.

@Subsurface devs: Are parsing errors somehow silently ignored?

You'll need to upgrade to the (not yet released) libdivecomputer v0.4.2. 
If you are on Windows, you can try this pre-release build:

BTW, I don't have much data from this new Aladin 2G variant. If you 
don't mind, can you download and run the "smart" application, and then 
send me the generated SMART.DMP and SMART.LOG files?
