Changelog:

NOFIX: 22. FS#2777 - Track Active Does not start when O starts anymore
Resolution: Tracking is restarted only when GPS becomes active on the restarted OCPN instance.

24. Corrected: If I deactivate Anchoring info at Canvas hamburger menus it's again activated at next O restart.

25. Corrected: O crash when receiving certain NMEA messages #2414
$HEHDT,90.0,T*16
$HEGGA,000000.00,0.0,N,0.0,E,2,11,0.8,-0.5,M,44.1,M,,*64

26. Corrected: Windows: Funny effect with AIS target predictors sometimes clipping to screen boundary.

27. Implemented: Tracking: Consider filtering out 0,0 lat lon

29. Implemented: Replace curl-ca-bundle.crt with the latest from curl.se (Renaming cacert.pem as curl-ca-bundle.crt and installing the new certificate bundle)
For version 5.6 would it be useful to update the bundle in the zip file found here:
https://download.opencpn.org/s/oibxM3kzfzKcSc3
https://www.cruisersforum.com/forums...ml#post3496375

30. Corrected: Fault in plugin manager icon management.
https://github.com/OpenCPN/OpenCPN/issues/2430

NOFIX....31. In the Route & Mark Manager window, if you select a mark, route or track and click on Properties, that window opens behind the manager window.
You cannot bring it to the front. You have to move it to one side.
On MacOS Big Sur 11.6
Resolution: That is MacOS Z-order policy as implemented by wxWidgets.

32. Implemented: New Extended Waypoint API
Tests pending.

33. Corrected: Debian/Raspbian Connection error message
https://github.com/OpenCPN/OpenCPN/issues/2435


Unresolved:
I am tracking a few reported issues that have had no useful feedback. Please take a look.


NOREPRO: 23. Windows: Sequence number 385 can't be found in the DLL file c:\program files(x86)\OpenCPN\curl.dll

NOREPRO: 28. Sending the json request message results in a "Select Route" dialogue appearing in the viewport, with OK and cancel buttons.
https://github.com/OpenCPN/OpenCPN/issues/2415


Notes:
1. Please think about any particular issues that you personally have reported, and verify that they have been fixed. Report problems here.

2. As always, any particular Beta release may be the final one, before a Release Candidate. Keep this in mind, please. Now is the time to report those little things that you may have been thinking about....

3. And, as always, please check update your Crowdin translations. This is very nearly "last call" for translations.

Good Luck, and Thanks for your help
Dave

macOS, Route manager
- the property window of a route will no come onto the foreground when activated from the route manager. It gets the focus and data can be entered, but the route manager window will stay on top

Win10
O crashed once on receiving a badly formed NMEA0183 sentence. O was running half an hour before the crash.
See log extract after the crash below.
The handled sentence type "W.0,T" is most likely something badly created from the source or destroyed during transfer. And I haven't seen it after that.
My point to report it is O would be able to sort it out instead of crashing due to some hash error or what it could have been?

One thing, you have to change the language of the installation to say, English, or else; because the one use in the installation is Cestina.
Have a good day.

Yes, this is a change from O5.2.4.
Once again wxWidgets has changed the Z-order rules for MacOS.
I will see what can be done.


Thanks

macOS, update o-charts plug-in


from the plug-in tab running the update it gets executed, however the version stays as is. 0.9.0.42 does not show up.
Restart of O does not make any difference.

About my Win10 crash...
I've tried to reproduce the crash by sending some similar sentences. See pict.
No crash so probably is my conclusion for the crash reason a mistake or something else.
Issue closed.

"0.9.0.42 does not show up."


If you enable o-charts, and check "preferences", which version is shown in preferences dialog?


Thanks

.x.x.x.41 still

If I have low screen resolution and I navigate to a waypoint there is a panel showing up which completely covers buttons for zooming in/out. That panel is too big.
Thanks

Show tides show currents on large area displays too many and slows down things.

Screen shot?
What about the different sliders to tailor the GUI to the device?
And btw.: which device with which OS?

Raspberry pi OS
Argonaut M7

With this resolution toolbar with +/- is vertical
and is hidden under the other one.
The one related to navigation to a waypoint.

Same issue is with latest beta

You are getting 5.2.4 as the version installed (main window)?


Related to the User Interface I was thinking about this option:
