A new Android apk is in daily: http://subsurface-divelog.org/
downloads/daily/Subsurface-mobile-4.6.3.132-arm.apk


I've tested that daily a little. On my Samsung Galaxy s6.


I also have a new iOS build, but that I need to send to the Beta channel
because I can't create a .ipa that will install on a random iOS device
(thanks,
Apple). Then again, we have only ~250 users on iOS, so this isn't really
a popular platform for us.

In my testing so far I see two major differences:

a) it seems to reliably show the correct dive (good)

I'm reliably shown the correct dive.

b) when you tap on a dive that's later in time, it sometimes renders ALL
of the dives (in the background) and seems to be hung for a long time
(depending on how many dives are in your dive list, I guess), before
it finally shows the right one (REALLY bad)

I can't reproduce that.


I guess that's progress? Not sure.

Testing and help in fixing the problem would be very welcome

I'm not able to do any fixing at the moment but happy to test when I get
the chance.

A couple of small but annoying bugs I noticed:
In editing dive notes, the Android keyboard never automatically capitalizes
the first letter of a sentence. In other apps it does. Not sure if this can
be changed in qml.

The back button from the gps preferences (possibly some other pages too)
doesn't work. Hit it a second time and the app closes.

Cheers,

Rick
