OpenCPN Version 4.8.2 Released

[rgleason]

This is the most current version (the programming head)
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/bdbc....194/artifacts

but I don't know if Pavel had in mind some other earlier version.

Fuss..
Be careful! The version rgleason refer to is a alpha version of new implementations for O version 5.0. I'm rather sure it will work, I'm using it myself, but not with all plugins built for O 4.8.2. The Github version of the alpha 4.99 is mainly for those building from source and test. All external plugins have to be built against the new code to work in that version of OCPN.

I tested it now under windows XP build 4.99.0 and the downloader is there.
So it is only the 4.8.2 that it is missing.
I guess when the next release is official then it will be back.
Thanks John

"Incompatible version plugins" again
I am already see it: http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/...-160561-8.html

My system: Debian 9 (Stretch) 64-bit. I am compiled and install 4.8.2 from src (current GitHub). After start with old .conf (all plugins reinstalled from "make install"):
=========opencpn.log==========
PlugInManager searching for PlugIns in location /usr/local/lib/opencpn
Incompatible plugin detected: /usr/local/lib/opencpn/libgrib_pi.so
Incompatible plugin detected: /usr/local/lib/opencpn/libwmm_pi.so
Loading World Chart Q=4 in 0 ms.
Incompatible plugin detected: /usr/local/lib/opencpn/libchartdldr_pi.so
Loading World Chart Q=4 in 0 ms.
Incompatible plugin detected: /usr/local/lib/opencpn/libdashboard_pi.so
============================
Compiled and install 4.8.0 - the same.
Delete opencp.conf and start again - the same.

In path and really in system only one directory of opencpn plugins.

wxWidgets ver. 3.0.4, libgtk ver. 2.

I am used OpenCPN from 2010 (from repository and src) without any problems.

What else I can check?

Not enough information.
You may sure replace the body of the bool PlugInManager::CheckPluginCompatibility(wxString plugin_file) function by a simple

return true;

But it would sure be more helpful if you actually tried to profile it and told us why it is unhappy on your particular system.

Pavel,

Which version of wxWidgets, gtk, libc, etc is "normal" for OpenCPN 4.8.2?
In Stretch we have many changes... And lot of new defaults versions of libraries.

Page about compiling OpenCPN on OpenCPN.org return 404 error

How I can profile for you my own system (now I try my big PC, but I have two notebooks in plans)?

The one available from the repositories. If it momentarily is unusable, we have to find out why and work it around.

Which page? Linked from where? The instructions are at https://opencpn.org/wiki/dokuwiki/do...ompiling_linux

Depends on what tools you are used to.
The poor man's way is to simply add

std::cout << "We got all the way here..." << std::endl;

to wherever needed, run the program from the command line and watch your terminal.

Regarding Zone time use in Opencpn, someone will have to look at it.
Japan, South Korea China are not using daylight summer time after the 11 of march. Could you please check this and update the zone time file?

I talk about this page (very-old):https://opencpn.org/wiki/dokuwiki/do...allation:linux

In point "Other 32, 64bits, the armhf architecture, Linux Distributions and the BSD operating systems

"
404 error.

And thank you very much for this link! https://opencpn.org/wiki/dokuwiki/do...ompiling_linux

Now I am just (re) install all depended packages. gpsd, lzma and sqlite was not installed.

@Knaz
We have to depend on Users to update these pages sometimes. Can you please be more specific regarding necessary changes to this page, or perhaps rewrite portions if you feel competent to do so?

If not, perhaps someone else familiar with Linux can take a careful look a this page since it is the Main Installation Instructions for Linux and Knaz has made a serious charge.

P_Dub,
It is my impression that this is a somewhat picky thing to program (I might be wrong about that), but wouldn't it be best to put a very full description of the problem in Tracker somewhere? Perhaps it will get looked at.
