OpenCPN Beta test 4.1.602 Release

[bdbcat]

baikal...

After some some experiments, on different platforms, I can reproduce the problem with rotated ENCs. This only happens with Intel graphics, where we do not use the stencil buffer for clipping, but instead use the depth buffer.

Root cause is a small code oversight, corrected in github now.

Thanks

int steps = ceil(sqrt((double) r));
It compile and works but I don't know if there is negative consequence somewhere
thanks

JP,
it seems to be wrong in the Windows compiler.
sqrt() is called sqrtf() for float and sqrtl() for long double in other compilers for Linux or Mac OS X. Nevertheless your workaround is OL.

Meanwhile it was corrected in git:

int steps = ceil(sqrt((float)r));

Good afternoon,

because version 4.1.602 worked very well on my small Eeepc, i tried this version also on my BananaPi ARM system.

Installation worked and loading ENC vector Charts worked. However I only can see the contours of the map area's. But no maps. And no chart toolbar to activate the maps.

After exiting OpenCPN then the Chart toolbar appears on the screen. The toolbar seems to be hidden and locked behind the OpenCPN display screen.

The config file does not give any indication what goes wrong. I can add the config file. It has been a clean new installation, also the Lubuntu version.

Accelerated video is on. Just as by an earlier setup.

What goes wrong ?

If I close the screen with "-". Then the Chart toolbar still stays on the screen. And if I then clicked the chart toolbar to activate the chart. And with restoring the screen "+" the screen showed the map with all the information.

There is something wrong with chart toolbar.

Ubuntu 14.10
Open 4.1.602
When NMEA window open I can't do anything in the options window.

I can select the options window from behind the NMEA debug window but can't select anything until I close the NMEA debug window.



I have had 1 instance of the opposite happening.
That is I couldn't pause the NMEA flow until I closed the options window.

Cheers Redog

Now I'am back on version 4.00 which works very well on a BananaPi and latest Lubuntu upgrades.

If the cause of the problems with the chart-bar are clear, I can do another try to run 4.1.602 on this small system. I also got some crashes with the beta version. I cannot see where it goes wrong.

I had similar problems on my A-20 based cubietruck.
The chart selector toolbar is fixed in the latest source.

There are some other problems that have known fixes, but they have not been incorporated into the source code yet; See earlier posts in this thread if you want to try the fixes.

cheers,

JM,

thanks for the reply. It is good to know that I am not alone with this problem. Are these problems strickly related to the O beta version? Or does the OS have influence in the the working of the beta ?

I'am using Lubuntu, but noticed that there is also a Debian Jessie version from a developer of the Cubietruck OS. Does this make any difference ?

Also still no news about the accelerated video (Glshim) for the Mali graphic chip set.

I will wait for the next Beta version before doing new tests with the Banana.

Other Linux systems runs perfect with the 4.1.602 version.

There is a rule that every country in the EC must supply ECD charts of the inland waterways for free.

Regards,


Bram

It should work, what is the problem?

[verkerkbr]

Dear JM,

have I missed this item ? Is it in version 4.1.602 ? Which I have dropped because of the chart-bar problem. How to do and where to find.

Thanks for your "Banana" support. On board I'am still using my Eeepc with 4.1.602 which works great but like to change to the Banana thing.

While using Win 8.1 Tablet Surfacepro 3. Glitch when changing a waypoint in an active route. The waypoint can be moved succesfully, but the active route data window is not updated and shows totally incorrect data for XTE and RNG except for how fast we were going.
I had to deactivate the route and re activate it to get it working properly.

Additionally the Toolbar icons do not increase in size when tablet settings are selected.

Rick,

you are moving the active waypoint and not just "a (other) waypoint in the active route"?

[rgleason]

Yes! I am able to move the Active waypoint and that is precisely what I did!
If this is a problem, which it does appear to be, then there should be a prompt "Deactivate route to move active waypount and then reactivate route" OR that should happen automatically. IMHO. OR perhaps the active waypoint should be locked until this is fixed.
