towards 4.9.4

[Dirk Hohndel]

No it doesn't, the new storage can be tested by people who are curious. You need to compile from source and use cloud2.subsurface-divecomputer.org as URL

The back end is designed to keep the two servers in sync. But that needs lots more testing.

If your cloud data is in fact missing, let me know and I'll take a look on the servers...
