OpenCPN Version 5.7.1 Release Candidate 1 (RC1)

[bdbcat]

Hello all OpenCPN users.

Here is Release Candidate 1 (RC1) of the formal Beta Test series for OpenCPN 5.7.1. This Beta test series will result in the Production release of OpenCPN 5.8.0, when ready.

Notes:
1. This is a Release Candidate. This means:
a) All known bugs have been addressed and resolved, at least insofar as has been confirmed by the Original Poster (OP).
b) All Translations from crowdin have been integrated.
c) Accordingly, in theory this RC1 could be converted to on official Release of O5.8.0 by a simple Version number change, with no other modifications necessary.

2. Translators: Here is your chance to look carefully at all your translated strings, and make adjustments in crowdin as necessary.

Please know that this code base, as it stands, will be the "official" OpenCPN v5.8.0 distribution. We are making all efforts to release the best possible application.
Please do not assume that "somebody else" will note any unreported issues. Bring them up here, and they will be addressed. We are determined to drive out all general bugs reported.
