Onderwerp: Oesenc ENC kaarten (i.c.m. OpenCPN)

Hi ....,

we will use your question as an opportunity to give a short report about the actual situation:

the Norwegian charts are now 10 days available and the great majority of users are from Norway - all provinces, from the South to Svalbard.

In this days slightly less than 120 NO charts have been licensed. This is a success, given that we are at the end of the season for leisure sailors.
A French user looking now for Norway would be an exotic case. Or a professional user.

We had one user who did not succeed to install the NO charts under Android (he uses the charts under Windows though). Not reading the manual.
The rest is going surprisingly well.
RasPI and OpenPlotter are giving some work and require attention.

Production is rock solid from our side.
We will improve this further in the next days and enable a "fall-back" redundant production site for cases like failing network access to our office or hardware failures of the production server.

In total we are in line to sustain the o-charts operation. We will need some patience given that we started late this spring and important chart sets got added even later.

On the other hand we are working to extend the chart portfolio, but this will be a slow process from now on.
We are in contact with Australia and Denmark. And waiting for an answer from Italy (the commercial department) since 3 months. Portugal is another candidate which does not like to answer.
Perhaps we will enable South Africa. And a South Atlantic set. We expect more or less the same response as for Iceland (8 sets licensed). But these sets have the advantage that there are no investments required.
Different from Sweden or the French charts.
I don't know what to do about the Caribbean waters.

UKHO has promised to work on their internal issues that prevent us to get some charts that are included in raster sets. And to improve coverage of Irish smaller ports.

Dave is preparing a new version of the oeSENC plug-in in order to clean-up some minor problems (rendering of shore lines with some jumps in it, Light sector vectors too long).
This will require a new production version of the charts too. Implies that charts generated with the new production code will require the updated plug-in.
The new plug-in will be backwards compatible, charts generated earlier will be rendered by the new version of the plug-in.
If there are other oeSENC issues know by one of you please come back to Dave quickly.

The next Windows10 update is due for early October. Hopefully MS will not invent new hurdles.

De Hydrografisch dienst heeft inmiddels laten weten dat de ENC kaarten gereed zijn van de Oosterschelde en het Veerse meer en daarna volgen het Haringvliet en het ontbrekende deel van het Hollands Diep.

De verwachting is dat deze kaarten gereed en beschikbaar komen voor het eind van het jaar.

Als ik ¨sudo apt-get update¨ doe op mijn pi3, word de nieuwe plugin toch gewoon mee genomen?

Daarna nog wel sudo apt upgrade !

Ik heb de oeSENC-kaarten op een laptop met Ubuntu Linux. Vanavond de laptop geüpgraded:

• Ubuntu van 16.04 naar 17.10
• Linux-kernel van 4.4 naar 4.13
• Unity naar GNOME
• oeSENC-plug-in van 1.x naar 1.6
• oeSENC-kaarten van 2017-3 naar 2017-5

En daarna werkte alles nog met dezelfde fingerprint!
