Onderwerp: OpenCPN nieuwe beta

Ahoy OpenCPN Users!

Here you will find a nearly complete list of the Feature additions and Bug fixes incorporated in OCPN 5.5.x Beta.

Most of these changes are the result of Flyspray issues, accumulated over some time. Since OCPN 5.5.x is an incremental update to the basic functionality of OCPN 5.2.4, critical developer resources were somewhat more available to address older outstanding problems and requests in this cycle. As a result, these outstanding Flyspray issues were able to receive direct attention in this release, with some success.

Speaking of Flyspray:
If you are the "owner" or OP of any of these listed Flyspray tasks, please check the associated functions in OCPN 5.5.x, and then clear the Flyspray task if able. We really do use the Flyspray task lists as active "work item lists", and our goal is to drive the list down in size. We would especially like to drive the Bug Report Task lists down to zero. We can only do this if the Tasks are closed by the OP as resolved.

Thanks
Dave
