Just to keep people in the loop... - currently the Android builds on GitHub Actions are all failing with an error that makes no sense (as other actions also use the ubuntu- latest image). If someone could try to figure out what's going on there, that would be a great help for me.

And one of the changes that I made in the process of fixing that ended up causing massive issues for our Android users as a bug in old obsolete code which I removed actually had the side effect of hiding an issue with libgit2/openssl in our app on Android which in return results in people using Subsurface-mobile on Android being unable to connect to cloud storage. A fix has been pushed, a new app version should come out "whenever Google feels like it". But it is already available in beta. > If anyone is working on fixing the dark theme issues, I am not aware > of > that. So that part of the problem might still be ongoing. I haven't heard anyone showing interest in fixing Subsurface on dark theme. I guess most people just don't use that? > The user manual is still in need to have refresh.

Since even on a fast Mac every attempt to do so takes quite a while, this has been a frustrating time sink - to the point where right now I'm not sure I'm willing to commit to doing this prior to the release. If anyone of you would like to experiment with that (install official Qt binaries, clone QtWebKit, write a script that successfully builds and installs QtWebKit (-minimal is sufficient for our needs)) -- that would be extremely useful. - I haven't even looked into updating Qt on Windows - if I'm lucky there is a stable / working version of QtWebKit in MXE. Again, if someone else would like to experiment with this on this stay-home weekend, more power to you - Miika and I are looking into Launchpad builds for Ubuntu and into the odd situation that Debian Buster now has a different Qt version than any of the Ubuntu versions, so we can no longer use one of them on Debian and will likely need to figure out how to build for that - or just point people to the AppImage - The AppImage of course also needs updating of the Qt version (not likely to happen, honestly) and lots of testing across newer distros. And of course, all of this is still true: > Please keep testing, please keep sending bug reports. > I know, few of us currently get to go diving so it may be hard to > motivate yourself to dig out a dive computer to test some downloads > or > to work with the dive planner or to try printing some dives. > > But maybe that's a good way to remember the enjoyment of diving while > dealing with the current COVID-19 reality. /D _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list subsurface@subsurface-divelog.org http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
