Changelog

64. Correct vector chart feature class config file state.
65. Correct GPSD 2.95 interface.
66. Implement S57 Overlay cell rendering for OpenGL (FS#604)
67. Allow S57 object query dialog to close with "X"
68. Correct transparent rendering of AnchorWatch circle.
69. Improve AIS lost target logic (FS#651) Thanks Marco...really...
70. Correct Ctrl-Space (add MOB) (FS#675)
71. Correct OpenGL render cache logic in course-up mode. (FS#677)
72. Correct inital window position logic for GRIB and Dashboard (FS#578)
72. Implement AIS AtoN rendering according to 2008 IMO standards (FS#672)
73. Add Galician (gl_ES) and Catalan (ca_ES) language support.
74. Experimental fix for screen refresh after dialog close (FS#678)
75. Tracking: On timed tracking, allow trackpoints with 2 metre resolution.
76. Add toolbox->Etc option for Track highlighting.

Release 2.6.1215

Notes:
69. AIS targets reporting position unavailable will be rendered in grey colour.
72. Untested in multiple monitor setups on Windows. Marco?
74. Cannot reproduce the error with my hardware. If this fix works for "Jump to Position" dialog, then we understand the issue a bit better.
75/76. Should allow more useful anchor watch tracking.

General Note....
We are having a lot of trouble with OpenGL on Vista and W7.
We are not alone in this problem, according to Google.
MS implemented a new screen compositing model for Vista and later, which "broke" many OpenGL apps.

OpenGL users reporting problems are asked to please report the log entries describing the OpenGL configuration.
e.g.
22:52:53 EST: OpenGL-> Renderer String: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 945G 20061017 x86/MMX/SSE2
22:52:53 EST: OpenGL-> Detected potential i945G renderer bug, disabling stencil buffer
22:52:53 EST: OpenGL-> Framebuffer Objects unavailable
22:52:53 EST: OpenGL-> Using Depth buffer clipping
22:52:53 EST: OpenGL-> Estimated Max Resident Textures: 24

This will help us to reproduce the problem more quickly, if possible.



Please remember to clear your Flyspray bugs if able, or at least annotate them for developer study...

Thanks
Dave

The Ubuntu packages are now available.

I still get stuck on "Overzoom".GL or not.Happens with the Dell 420 now too.It has something to do with Rasters available at the location maybe,because it doesn't happen out to sea where I haven't other rasters alongside.
Sometimes,it says "100x" (when quilting is off)and gets stuck there.
But- only with cm93s...using +,the "Factor" on chartbar goes as low as "300" (when quilting is on)and then I'm stuck!-there's no zooming back out.Changing to a raster doesn't really fix it.Only a restart of O.
Editing ini file to disable overzoom("1"->"0") also fixes it.
This doesn't happen with 2.5.
Nothing in the log.

Can you break this down to a simple repeatable series of key/mouse actions?
Also, tell us exactly which charts, and what location....

We all want to try this

Thanks
Dave

Ok,Default New install.quilting on.No GL
starting in BC Canada.I've CM93 abrd and 3 mercator kaps 300001,300101,and 351301 for example.Hit the + key and keep goin in.Watch the lower right of the bar"True Scale".When it hits 300,+ one more time and I'm STUCK.

Restart O.Move away from those charts North for me.the only kap the same is 300001 and 300101,both small scale charts.I'd tell you the scale but the Hover over info pops up,disappears!too fast for me.That's new.


Quilting off,same thing but the TrueScale will be as %.When I get to 100%,one more "+" and I'm stuck.

[HappySeagull]

...offshore,with one kap 300001 alongside(quilting on or off)Overzoomed Factor is 3400.(40.0x)No problem.

[HappySeagull]

...but let me load up some other kaps in the USA and try.Might be my funky collection..

[HappySeagull]

...now ,on the Dell,I'm in SanFrancisco,stuck at 40.0x (overzoom) with some US kaps alongside

BUT on the IBM,using the not so shiny Portable version ( I just slipped the new exe in there to update)I can't get a crash anymore!(Ibm was the first to do this with these betas.
Maybe a fresh install thing?I'll keep my fingers off the config stuff until I know what is going on

partialHappyLogZoomCrash.doc

it's text,just a partial log as it happened.Nothing to see,really."Exited cleanly" when I shut O down...

[HappySeagull]

too much info? ... Dependency Walker gives me this at the crash end of it's log WHEN I'm stuck

blahblah.....LoadLibraryA("OPENGL32") called from "GDI32.DLL" at address 0x77F44A17.

65. Correct GPSD 2.95 interface.

Yes, works OK.
This old friend still pops up now and then though


I always press "Yes" and have no problems.

Happy....

The DependencyWalker log implies OpenGL running....

Which system/scenario was that?

Dave

[HappySeagull]

now,after a couple of restarts and unload the caps,rebuild DB etc,restart,
I'm stuckon the cm93 with NO kaps aboard....O is grinding her teeth in her sleep no cpu(1%).. and a mere 44mb ram out of a possible 1gb.(wake up!you'll bleed if you don't stop!)
Still in california.

OpenGL is on,no quilting... as I have now ,stuck in Sandiego per above post..
smooth panning off,no gps-really just the defaults-haven't looked at other tool tabs from a Pretty fesh install on the Dell (even no vcredist until install)except Settings,and Charts per charts installed,and quilting,OpenGL options

I'm trying to KEEP the crash happening ...hope somebody else can get one!

[bdbcat]

Happy...

So, can we eliminate OpenGL as a suspect?

That is, I think I can see that you .can. get stuck in some zoom whether OpenGL is on, or off. True statement?
