OpenCPN 5.6.2 Released

[philmarks]

Re my post which mentioned quilting in passing - after 2 weeks heavy use quilted chart outlines now show, but chart text has disappeared simultaneousy. Chart quilting option box still not showing in settings/display/general. No way can I get it to show. Didn't change any settings at all. No Linux updates.

The other night I discovered that the alarm bell does not ring on AIS CPA alert.

I dug further and the option to select the sound and test it has disappeared on my rig.


I had short shrift from the first mate about it as she was on watch...



It is working fine on my Android tablet, still at 5.6.0


Also, chart quilting option appears to have disappeared...This is not such a biggie for me. She doesn't know about the feature.



Thanks for all you hard work people!

Increasing the size of a route (thickness) does not work in the last version, either on Windows and or Android. It remain as default no mater the number of pixels you are putting. Thanks for checking.

At last I got it to work in Windows but not on Android.

Works on Android for me (route "width" = thickness)

HOWEVER, changing the "style" (e.g., dots versus dashes etc) has no effect.
