count down to Beta 1

[Guido Lerch]

Aka Uemis,

I should have my first patch done end of this week.
Found another issue with one of my dives that is delete on the Uemis but is still pulled with the dive logs.
I have a failure with the pressure sensor causing a 12 hour dive filling up the memory.

One thing I would like to talk to you about is on how to delete dives from the download table, I believe there is a bug in that code but I am not familia with that code.

Regards,
Guido
