Looks fine under the latest macOS 12.0.1 (macMini M1).


German and Spanish translation updated.

[bcn]

Btw.:


With this version the language settings for the User Interface will allow again to select any available, not just the local and English.


At least this works for me on that macOS 12 version.

re: "At least this works for me on that macOS 12 version."
FYI:

On Win I can select any language but whatever I select except English(US) the language is set to system's language i.e. Swedish.

The same had been valid for macOS, but now it is ok again.

[Hakan]

Yes, my wordings would have been: the language is still set to system's language
That is: No change for me in this beta version.

Latest 5.5..1031 version works very well on my RPI 4 systems with RaspiOS64, Unbuntu Impish 64 and Debian Bullseye 64. All running the Flatpak version of OpenCPN. The only item that is still missing is de O-charts plugin for the Debian version. There is a plugin, but that one is of the wrong type.

I have now systems running from an USAP SSD USB 3.1 and on a usb 3.1 stick Samsung 64 with a reading speed of 300 mb/s. Much faster then an SD card.

All improvements in software and hardware. Great,

Dave, I guess I'm to late with the Norwegian translation. I did not get any email from the forum about updates, even if I'm subscribed to the threads.
I have checked spam as well.

HotRod...
Still time, due to some other last minute juggling.
crowdin is still open for changes.....

New Raspberry pi OS is out. And it is based on Debian bullseye.

https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/ras...bian-bullseye/

Are OpenCPN binaries available for it?
Preferably compiled with gtk3

Thanks

It is pity that it is still 32 bits. Now tried the latest 64 bits RaspiOS version also based on Debian Bullseye.

Then added the OpenCPN direct from the repository. Worked wel.

Then I installed the Flatpak version of OpenCPN. Worked also very well.

The the SignalK server and NPM. Installed also with no problem.

OpenCPN has now a connection with the Signalk input.

The Fatpak has now also an Icon. Now two Icons one OpenCPN and one Opencpn Flatpak.

Not yet tried the O-Charts plugin and the OpenPlotter extra's. Try this tomorrow.

This Debian Bulleye based RaspiOS works very well and fast. Also with the OpenGL setting on.

Just done some more trials with the RaspiOS based on Debian 64 Bullseye. De O-charts plugin 0.9.042 does not work.



And the problem with OpenGL is back.



OpenGL works for some time and then an error occurs. OpenCPN tried to start and flips away. The only solution is to change in the config file Opengl=0 instead of 1. To switch the OpenGL setting to off.


After installing the dependencies of the OpenPlotter additions and installing the Advanced version of the OpenPlotter extras.


All seems to work after installing the separate items. The Realvnc server is allready in the system and can be switched on. The network with the Wifi Access points work etc etc.


Now OpenCPN is remote controlled running wireless on my GSM mobile phone via a VNC reader. Can also be another system or an Ipad or Chromebook with an VNC reader.
