rgleason,

Hi. If you don't find an answer here, soon, try using the "Contact Us" button near the bottom of the page, one of the site team administrators may be able to point you in the right direction.

If the question has come up before, using the CF Custom Google Search (under the Search menu at the top right of the page) may produce another discussion of the problem.

Sorry to not be able to help better.

Dear Ann,

I found two Changelog Searches that work very well. These are shown in the first several posts. I am now using this thread to collect all the ChangeLogs into one location, as the OpenCPN Beta releases and final releases occur, so that I can get them into a final document.
I hope that is ok.
Best
Rick

The OpenCPN Development Team is proud to announce the release of OpenCPN Version 5.0

This version is a feature upgrade and maintenance release of OpenCPN.
