plans for 4.9

[Dirk Hohndel]

4.9 is the next release that I hoped to start working on about two weeks ago (which clearly didn't happen). Just for context.

If and when we redo the divesite logic (and discussion on this seems to have fallen dormant again - which could mean that Linus and Berthold are busy writing code... or more likely that Linus is drowning in Linux merge window pull requests and Berthold is back focusing on the undo code) that will likely be a Subsurface 5.0 thing (not that our version numbers mean a lot, but now that Linux is at 5.0, we need to catch up... just kidding... this is a fairly significant change...)

I also think now that the filter system is updated and more usable, the statistics should be based on the filtered list of dives (or have an option to display statistics on the filtered divelist.)

Statistics are definitely something where I'm open to new categories. We should make sure we understand how we want to visualize that - another sad story of me doing a poor job of creating a shared vision with the key developers and then seeing that implemented.
So let's talk about what you want to show and how.
