Notes:

This beta gives us a significant performance upgrade for Macintosh builds. OpenCPN is now a true 64-bit application on Mac, and uses the wxWidgets 2.9 version with native Cocoa support. Please report even the slightest anomaly on Mac install or runtime behaviour.

66. If you are using S57 ENCs with non-english text embedded, you will need to rebuild the SENCs for the affected chart cells.

Thanks, and happy testing
Dave

Thanks a lot for the new edition (3.3.719) for Windows. It load much faster the weather over a wide area (say North Atlantic). How do you down load the climatology? For the ENC it seems OK.

Testers...
The beta PPA for all the various Ubuntus (and Debian) is currently building, the i386 packages are mostly done, amd64 will be available in a couple of hours.

Please pay attention to testing point 73 as it's the first in a series of substantial changes to the Track and Route Properties and what will be caught with tracks won't reappear in routes.
Also if you are missing any features there, please take the time to describe them in flyspray requests, they will be at least considered for the next beta - I'm really trying to follow the various forum threads but to be honest most of what I read there gets pushed out of my brain by other stuff before I get to implementing it...

Thanks

Pavel

This patch fixes exported route files so they can be read by Garmin HomePort.

Hello testers...

I concur and reinforce what Pavel said about using Flyspray for feature requests. There are many very good ideas that fly by on the Forum, but don't make it into code simply because the developers are working from Task Lists, checking off the boxes as they go along. When we get enough new boxes ticked, we release a Beta. The chances of a non-listed item being implemented in a Beta release are consequently quite low.

As an example: user configurable arrival circle radius is a good and simple idea, that came as a "drive-by" suggestion in another thread. However, it never made it onto any list, so it slipped our minds and did not happen in this Beta. Sorry, maybe next Beta..if it is on a list.

Notwithstanding the above, we thank you all for your testing efforts. We really appreciate it.

Dave

Dave/Pavel...

Thanks for the new Version 3.3 Beta Build 719....

The Route Manager is still not showing the ´Link Description´ but instead displays the entire ´Link´ I thought we were clear on this?

I will test the POI editing/exporting a little later.

Tore

Tore...

Please post a short POI file from your set for specific testing of the link description field.

Thanks
Dave

[sinbad7]

Dave..

Here´s a short typical POI...

Tore...
The link in the GPX you posted has no description at all. In such case we display the address so there's at least something to click on...

Or did it have the description before? I can't make 3.3.719 forget the link description whatever I try.

Pavel

Pavel..

They all have/had a Link Description..

I just imported the same BlooSee.gpx POI for editing. BOTH fields contained the link. I changed the Link description and it now works normally.

Here´s one of the shortest group POI files which ALL have Link descriptions:

Seems <name>BlooSee</name> and <text>BlooSee POIS</text> gets mixed up somehow?

Here is MY original BlooSee.gpx:

Pavel..

There´s TWO ´descriptions´areas, Link description and Description in the BIG field.
Perhaps they were mixed up in the programing? Normally the ´Description´area can include imported optimized Route data in .gpx format from qtVlm but NOT POI data.

Tore

[bdbcat]

Tore...

I think some of your POI files were corrupted by the previous Beta 3.3.604, including the BlooSea.gpx link you included above. That one has, as Pavel notes, no Description field for the html link.

So, your corrected POI sets should now be OK in 3.3.719, whether imported or loaded as layers.

Sorry for giving you extra work to fix your POI sets.

Thanks
Dave

3.3.719 running on Mac OS 10.7.5 got an issue with the adjusting screen brightness button, clicking through the levels does not darken or brighten the main window but affects the toolbar, various objects on the chart and status bar only. Hope its not just me
