Er is sprake van een beta versie. Hier de aankondiging van de beta op Sail en Cruiser forum:
Ahoy OpenCPN Users!
OpenCPN version 5.5.920 is now ready to begin Beta testing.
We plan to test this version thoroughly over the next few weeks, updated as necessary, leading to a general release of OpenCPN Version 5.6.0 this fall.
First, how do you get and install OpenCPN Version 5.5.x Beta?
1. Windows
dl.cloudsmith.io/public/david-...21.66c3571_setup.exe
2. MacOS (Version 10.10 "Yosemite" and later)
dl.cloudsmith.io/public/davi....66c357176.pkg
3. Ubuntu/debian linux
Packages for installation of OCPN 5.5.x (amd64/arm64/armhf) are available from the OpenCPN Beta repository at the Ubuntu Launchpad.
launchpad.net/~bdbcat/+archive/ubuntu/opencpn
You may add this repo to your apt sources list, and install or upgrade OCPN 5.5.x for your distro using your normal O/S tools. (apt, synaptic, etc.)
4. Flatpak
$flatpak update
$flatpak run org.opencpn.OpenCPN//beta
5. Source code
github.com/OpenCPN/OpenCPN
branch : master
tag : Beta_5.5.920
Then what?
Please report your testing progress and issues in this thread. We would like to see testing in as many varied environments as practical. Developers will be monitoring closely, sometimes requesting further specific tests or information. You may expect to see several Beta releases before the official Production release.
A note on Plugins:
The legacy method of installing Plugins by separate "installer" app is now officially deprecated. Older Plugin installers will no longer be updated for normal Plugin improvements. All Plugins are to be installed and updated using the integral Plugin Manager within OCPN 5.x. On Plugin bug reports: While we will acknowledge Plugin bug reports here, the focus of this Beta test is to validate the OCPN core 5.5.x for general release. Please keep this in mind as you test.
The full list of Features and Bug Fixes to be found in O5.5.x will follow in a separate posting.
Thanks, and Good Luck
Dave and the OCPN Team.
