OpenCPN Version 2.1.0 Beta

[teotwawki]

Building CVS on Fedora 12 I'm getting the following error:

.deps/s57chart.Tpo -c -o s57chart.o `test -f 'src/s57chart.cpp' || echo './'`src/s57chart.cpp

src/s57chart.cpp:4625: error: no matching function for call to ‘wxDateTime::ParseFormat(wxString&, const char [7])’

This patch appears to correct the problem:

Three small things.
The AIS icon with a frame around it, hasn't made into this beta.
There is very little visual indication, if quilting is on or off. The only persistent difference is the absence of zoom level value in the lower right hand corner, when quilting is on. Something more visual would be nice.
Same thing for North Up or Head Up. I suggest that the red compass north pointer, in the upper right corner is replaced by, for example, a blue "N", when the display is locked at North Up.
I don't have much time for testing, but head up + quilting seems to work OK now.

On the website it says:

The current beta release is 2.1.0 Build 523a, released May 23 , 2010.

When I download (windows version) I still get Build 520
So the link seems to be wrong

Not every beta version is immediately released with a compiled Windows version.
The line with the link to the compiled Win beta reads:

Download OpenCPN BETA 2.1.0 Build 520 for Windows® 98/ME/2000/XP/Vista

which is exactly what you get. This is the latest release compiled for Win.
In his post, releasing this beta, Dave said

Real Beta maybe tomorrow....

which, I'm sure, will contain a precompiled windows beta.
Please also note that no beta ever is released compiled for Linux or Mac.

icons.cpp and icons.h in the archive linked below replace the existing ones in src/bitmaps

My fault, I emailed Dave the wrong file.

Chart bar is very responsive now to cursor position and is working well. Chart highlighting is also responsive and accurate on BSB charts. Much improved!

Chart highlighting is not always accurate on s57 charts. Sometimes whole canvas is highlighted erroneously when hovering over the right-most small scale chart.

Dave,

In quilting mode, when the depth units of the charts are either :
* METERS AND DECIMETERS
* Metres (and not METERS)
* FATHOMS AND FEET
the depth units are not shown on the screen.
But they are if you leave quilting mode.

For some charts, if you zoom, depth units are shown, for some others, never.

Please try the new CVS code now (0200GMT).
I tried to fix the depth unit error, but there are many possibilities to consider....

Also, added "Start/End" tags to GPX file output/input.

Thanks
Dave

I´ve modified the color palette for daylight to be more clear on a small screen during daylight.
I attach only the modified part of the file S52RAZDS.RLE found at C:\Program Files\OpenCPN\s57data in an XP installation.
Make a backup of original file and open the file with wordpad and copy and paste the section in the attached file (first part in the file).
I find it a lot easier to read this modified colors.

Dave,

It seams to be good now for the depth units in quilting mode. Thanks.
