Re-designed Facebook access from Subsurface
- Improved handling and visualisation of dive computer events in dive profile (grouping them into info,
warning and alert - best supported on Suunto EON Steel)
- Display surface interval as well as dive duration prominently in planner
Dive list indicates whether dives have associated photos
- Many translation updates
- Add --user= command line argument that allows switching between
different users from the command line
- Add --cloud-timeout= command line argument that allows to wait longer
(or shorter, for that matter) before we time out waiting for cloud
storage. Very useful when in areas with poor internet connectivity
*Imports and exports:*

- Add support for importing Underwater Technologies AV1 log files
- Add DAN DL7 import

**Dive computer access:

*Errors solved:*
- Many fixes for various errors reported since 4.5
- Fixed problems opening pictures from picture tab
- Fixed spurious errors when saving to cloud storage
- Better handling of slow network connections when using cloud storage
- Many fixes to CVS importer
- Many small fixes to the dive planner
- Bugfix for parsing AP Divesight dive log
- Fixes to Divelogs.de import and export
- Fixes to UDDF exporter
- Small fix to Uemis downloader for yet another corner case (Uemis
downloader is known to be broken for some users - it is no longer
actively maintained)
- Fix surface pressure in dive planner
> - Fix deco algorithm confusion between planner and log
> - Small improvements to dive planner (show repetitive dives)
*
**Other:*
- Many updates and improvements to the user manual
- Updated Windows and Mac binaries to Qt 5.7.1 (and newer versions of
several other support libraries).

I think it would make the announcement more appealing if the topics were
categorised as in my above suggestion.
