The new models appear to be compatible with the previous G2, but with
new model numbers and bluetooth names. The USB VID/PID for the G3 is
still unknown.

When no compass bearing is set on the dive computer, the stored value is
initialized to zero. Since this can also be a valid value, those zero
values are only ignored untill another non-zero value is present.
In later firmware versions, the value will get initialized to 0xFFFF
instead.
Returning disabled gas mixes to the application mainly results in lots
of unnecessary information. Therefore, remove all disabled gas mixes,
unless they are actively used. Many other dive computers do not even
include disabled gas mixes in the data.
Unlike previously assumed, the on/off state of each gas mix is actually
available in the PNF data format (opening record 4). For the older
Predator data format, this info isn't available and all gas mixes are
manually marked as enabled.
The IX3M 2 with the APOS5 firmware supports a new info record containing
the GPS coordinates. To be able to identify this new record type, the
previously reserved field at byte offset 52 is now used to store the
record type: zero for the existing sample record and one for the new
info record.
This also fixes the underlying problem of the zero timestamp in commit
3c50e91a1096332df66b2d33d64e5a8dc9136ab9, because the zero timestamp was
the result of incorrectly interpreting the first info record as a sample
record.
Previously the timestamp of the first sample was always a non-zero
value, but the IX3M 2 with the APOS5 firmware now appears to record a
timestamp of zero. This was incorrectly detected as a backwards time
jump because the time is also initialized to zero.
Sending the two byte command header and then waiting for the ack byte
before sending the remainder of the command payload causes problems for
some (but not all) users. Most likely the extra roundtrip time due to
waiting for the ack byte results in a delay that sometimes exceeds a
timeout in the dive computer while it's waiting for the payload data.
On the other hand, sending both the command header and the payload data
in one single packet is also not an option, because it causes problems
for some models, like the Mares Matrix. See commit
59bfb0f3189b14ae858650b851539d59e3fefe86 for details.
As an alternative solution, send the packet payload immediately after
the header, without waiting for the ack byte. This eliminates the extra
roundtrip time, while still sending out two separate bluetooth packets.
The functionality provided by the filter function is not only useful for
the built-in transports, but also for the applications. For example in
combination with a custom transport.
The USB I/O backend needs some additional information (e.g. interface
number and in/out endpoints) to setup the USB connection. This info is
currently maintained inside the descriptor filter function and gets
passed to the USB backend by means of the filter parameters.
This approach is not only unnecessary complex, but also makes it very
difficult to expose the filter function in the public api because the
data structures for those parameters are private.
Therefore, this data exchange is replaced with a direct mapping between
the USB VID/PID and the configuration info in the USB backend itself.
Passing the descriptor for which the filter function is being called is
a good practice and will also allow to implement some more specific
filtering in the future.
Returning disabled gas mixes to the application mainly results in lots
of unnecessary information. Therefore, remove all disabled gas mixes,
unless they are actively used. Many other dive computers do not even
include disabled gas mixes in the data.
The removal of the disabled gas mixes requires a two pass approach for
parsing the profile data. The first pass is only used to discover which
gas mixes are actively used during the dive. Next, all disabled and not
actively used gas mixes are removed from the list. Since removing one or
more gas mixes also invalidates the index of the remaining gas mixes,
the profile needs to be parsed again to report the new index in the gas
switch samples.
The original one based index is used as the stable gas mix id, used for
looking up the new gas mix index.
The hwOS models support switching to a disabled gas mix. Therefore, the
disabled state is not always a good indication whether a gas mix is used
or not. Look for gas switches during the parsing step instead to keep
track of the actively used gas mixes.
Looking up the gasmix by oxygen and helium content is only needed for
the manual gas mixes. For gas switches to a fixed gas mix, the index is
stored directly in the data.
The hexdump only includes the command parameters, but not the main
command byte. Since there are many commands without parameters, that's
not very useful.
For dives in HP CCR mode, the oxygen and diluent tanks are stored at a
fixed index. This information is more reliable than using the tank name,
and also prevents the incorrect labeling of one of the other tanks as an
oxygen or diluent tank.
Firmware v84 introduced support for sidemount diving. Users can now
configure the two sidemount tanks as the source for the GTR (Gas Time
Remaining) estimations. We can take advantage of this feature to detect
the sidemount tanks. This is more reliable than using the tank name.
For open-circuit dives, the oxygen and diluent usage doesn't make any
sense at all. But when an open-circuit diver uses the letter 'D' to
indicate a tank for decompression use, it will get incorrectly labeled
as a diluent tank.
Fixed by restricting the oxygen/diluent usage to CCR dives only.
In commit 1c8cd096b57a876c4fb0afc5113aac05d75d924e the block size was
changed from 64 to 1024 bytes. For bluetooth classic communication, this
shouldn't matter, but for some reason it does cause the OSTC4 firmware
upgrade to fail. Maybe some buffering problem in the OSTC4 firmware or
bluetooth stack?
Change the block size back to 64 bytes.
For open-circuit dives it makes no sense to also include the configured
diluents. Usually those diluents are only present because the diver uses
the same dive computer for both open and closed circuit dives.
Add time synchronisation for the Shearwater dive computers. All models
support setting the local time. Only the Teric has basic support for
time zones, and can set UTC time with a timezone offset.

When the dive computer receives an RDBI or WDBI command it doesn't
support, it sends a 3 byte NAK packet containing an error code. Detect
these NAK packets and use it to return a more appropriate error.
The RDBI (Read Data by Identifier) responses always have a fixed length.
Using a resizable buffer for the API only makes the memory management
more complex than necessary.
Also add some symbolic constants to improve readability.
Replace the numeric type with a name (fresh or salt) and change the
density value into an xml attribute. The type is the primary
information here, while the density value is optional.
The dc_parser_set_data() function allows to re-use a parser object for
multiple dives. The advantages of this feature are actually very limited
in practice. The reduction in memory consumption is almost negligible,
because the amount of internal state in the parser is typically very
small. But the implementation requires some additional complexity
because each backend needs code to reset its internal state. Therefore,
the function is removed and the data and size needs to be passed
directly to the dc_parser_new() and dc_parser_new2() functions instead.
Because keeping a reference to the data has also caused issues in the
past, especially for applications implemented in a garbage collected
language, the data will now also get copied internally.
Only a few dive computer backends (reefnet, aladin and memomouse)
require the clock parameters for parsing the date/time. Therefore,
those parameters are removed from the constructor function and
applications should set the clock parameters with the
dc_parser_set_clock() function instead.
The backend specific calibration function are deprecated. Applications
should use the new replacement functions introduced in commit
6ab140461a3a85fba3803283070427f3be413c79.
Because the sample struct is passed by value, the size of the structure
can't be changed without also changing the function signature and
breaking backwards compatibility. This prevents adding new fields in the
future, to support some new features.
When passing the sample struct by reference using a pointer, the size of
the pointer does always remains the same.
For gas consumption calculations it's very convenient to know whether a
tank is used for example in a sidemount configuration, or as
oxygen/diluent tank on a rebreather.
For rebreather dives, it's convenient to know whether a gas mix is used
as a closed-circuit mix (oxygen/diluent) or as an open circuit mix
(bailout).
Some dive computers report the time of the next decompression stop,
while others report the Time To Surface (TTS). Some models can even
report both.
Add a TTS field to the deco sample to support both values.
Rebreathers typically support multiple ppO2 sensors as a safety measure
in case a sensor fails during the dive. The current api can already
report multiple ppO2 values per sample, but it does not provide any
information about which sensor the measurement is from.
The new sensor index provides this info, and can also be used to
distinguish between the average/voted ppO2 value using the special value
DC_SENSOR_NONE.
