Here is a list of some of the corrections and new features in this Beta release:
Beta 5.1.529
1. Enable Settings->Charts->Vector
Charts User Standard mode list only when User Standard mode is active
2. Implement "Head-Up"
navigation mode. FS#2641
3. Correct persistence of shared waypoint visibility for hidden routes.
4. Support GTK dark mode in "Connections" panel list entries.
5. Correct update of chart downloader large chart set list, Windows only.
6. Add Chart Scale dialog, allow direct setting of Chart Scale by clicking "scale value" shown in MUIBar.
7. Correct occasional error in toolbar
plugin tool rendering after tooltip rollover is hidden.
8. Integrate
current translation files from crowdin.
Notes:
1. Translations: This Beta includes the
current state of the crowdin translation file matrix. Some terms, added very late, are not translated. Please check your translations carefully, so that we may get complete and accurate translations for the up-coming Release.
2. Head-Up Mode: For those installations receiving HDT information from an attached heading
sensor, this
navigation mode orients the chart display so that the ship's
head is "up", If a heading
sensor is not available, the "Head-Up" mode functions identically to "Course-Up" mode, for compatibility with existing systems.
Plan:
OpenCPN V5.1 is "feature complete" now. I plan one more Beta cycle after this, before a full release as OpenCPN Version 5.2.0.
Please test hard, and be unforgiving of any errors or glitches encountered.
Thanks
Dave and the OCPN Team
