Subsurface 5.0 has been released

I'm a little worried that you're planning decompression profiles at this stage (if your dive count is accurate), but hopefully it was just general curiosity/exploration of the software. FWIW, if looking for longer bottom times, nitrox is the next step.

Dive count is correct. Just started my ssi deep course and I'm just trying different kind of profiles on SubS to see what happens. Interesting to see how staying at ~30m for a while effects the plan for the rest of the dive if the plan is not to come straight to 5m safety stop.
And the SubS feature to extend the dive time to the max was just quite weird until got the explanation.

Today was my first dive beyond 21m, dark and cold. And the next dive is on nitrox.

Sounds like you're on a good path! One of the most important things to learn from the deep course is how fast air is consumed. SubS does a great job with this, with additional details in the Buhlmann deco mode (useful even for NDL dives).

I need to add SS to my shiny new MBP but the site throws massive security errors on both Safari and Firefox. Is there any place I can download without breaking multiple security rules?

Not sure about the errors, but you could try subsurface.github.io instead.

The links from github are the same ones on the download page unfortunately. And I looked at pulling right from git but there is a message stating that "release builds are no longer on github". I'm wondering why I am the only one seeing this issue.

@dirkhh There's some sort of SSL ****-up going on with https://subsurface-divelog.org/ -- it's failing in the negotiation phase from what I can tell.

Edit: it looks like a DoS, it does partially come through if you remove the s from https:// and try that a few times. I think the server is out of cheese.

You're not. There isn't a security rule you can break to get there, either: it's a problem with https: connection, and plain http: doesn't seem to be available because web is now "secure by default".

Came here to see if anyone else was seeing what I am - secure connection failed. @dirkhh any info on this?

Subsurface. Or SSRF if those are two many letters. But I take offense in being connected to the Schutzstaffel.

That would have been the correct answer (since the download page is hosted there, anyway), but unfortunately the binaries actually sit on my server, and that one had the hiccup.

It was indeed a DoS - and a weird one. Someone was trying to bruteforce the dynamic DNS setup and so a recent update of the IP address of the server wasn't reflected in DNS... I think I have this sorted, it may take a moment for your DNS cache with the wrong IP address to expire, but the expiry is set to 5 minutes so this should work itself out very quickly.

My apologies for not noticing this earlier.

Thanks all for clearing this up. I will be installing SubSurface shortly.
