working towards 4.8.4 and 2.1.5

[Dirk Hohndel]

It's that time again. We've made some progress, we added some features, I'm sure we added some bugs... :-)

Right now I want to collect the list of things we need to get done before cutting a release

- reported issue about mobile filtering / filter entry line not showing up on some iOS devices
- documentation of mobile filtering in the user manual
- en_ZA locale
- figure out what's wrong with the Windows builds an BT/BLE (apparently at least the Travis binaries don't use the correct BT DLL)

and the list of things that some of you may be working on and would like to get into these releases

- ?

I'll push a first update of translations in a moment...

should we announce BTLE / Windows in release notes and / or the
announcement body?
my vote would be yes with outlining "experimental".

that video i did is out of date, but perhaps we can create just a gist
or pastebin with some instructions?
i can also record another video?

instructions:
----------
- Make sure you have the latest Windows 10 update.
- Make sure you have the latest BTLE drivers for you PC or BTLE dongle.
- Make sure that your BTLE dive computer is paired in Control Panel.
- If connectivity from Subsurface to the BTLE device fails, try
unpairing and pairing again.

Yes, I agree.

That should go in the FAQ, in the documentation / user manual, and should
be part of the announcement :-)

Wow, two weeks, but with all my traveling... I think I'm finally
comfortable with the progress I made. The one issue that I haven't been
able to crack is the filter input line on iOS. This still makes no sense
to me.

I'll be off doing work things for the next ~9 hours, but I was hoping to
do the release this evening. If you have something that needs to go in
before we do that, please let me know. I realize that with time zones
being what they are, most of you will be asleep during those 9 hours...
oops. But then again, we've been crawling towards this for two weeks, so
this isn't exactly a surprise, either.

Thanks
