OpenCPN Beta Version 3.3.604 Released

[ahi]

It worked out of the box - my shell script to update and build can be found at http://itp.tugraz.at/~ahi/download/opencpn-build

Might be a nice addition to Compiling - Linux | Official OpenCPN Homepage.

You are right - will explore the possibilities for this. I am somehow experienced building debian packages, but not with cmake.

At the moment its just one data file /usr/share/opencpn/plugins/climatology/data/elnino_years.txt with a meager 3.8 KiBytes.

Thanks for your routing plugin - was my reason to explore OpenCPN.

ahi...
cpack can actually build just one package per configuration AFAIK, so an alternative CMakeLists.txt or quite a lot of conditional stuff will probably be needed for other package to be generated.

Isobar values for this grib seem too large by a 10^2 factor. See file. I have to set the spacing to 500 to get a 5hPa spacing.
The close button on the grib pop-up is inoperative. I have to click on the grib icon to close it
(W7)

I can't say that I have the same problem.
The strange thing with your picture #2 is that the button for pressure units is blank. I'm forced to choose between Millibars and mmHg, and a blank value is impossible on my Linux box.
Checking on an XP box I find that it it indeed possible to select a blank value. With this setting I get the same weird values as you. Clicking the pressure units selection button and choosing Millibars sorts out the situation.
So you clearly found a little bug!

You are right
When the user do not choose a unit , it stay blank and , the result is strange.
We clearly have to set an unit by default ...

Same behaviour under W7 or XP

If I open O with a route visible I am unable to bring the focus to a waypoint. No matter where I right click on the route all I can bring up is the route dialog box. If I insert a waypoint somewhere along the route the behaviour reverts to normal.

Another little problem In version 3.3.604; when you have created a route and name it and then close the program, the route becomes unnamed upon re-opening. Why?
That is weir!

Hi,

XP
It is not possibile to move the waypoint active or not, the background move, and the track on the pilot Raymarine stay always active before shut down the application.
Thanks

There is definitely a problem with retaining the route names In the route manager of version 3.3.604. What change was done in the compiling process! Widows 7, 64 bits?

P_Dub...
As you may read in the release notes, this part of the code has been heavily rewritten. And yes, there are bugs - I just fixed a couple of them.

All...

Route/waypoint bugs acknowledged. Pavel has fixed all known problems, and committed to github, for those building from source.

Thanks, Pavel

I did not want to check huge data files into git. In that case the package is fine, but the plugin will be useless. A separate package will be needed for the data files, but maybe wait on it since I have not made the plugin official yet. I think I'll build into the plugin to display download link as well so maybe that will solve it.

When do you expect to make an update for Windows?

Next Beta no sooner than two weeks from now, perhaps even later.
