For applications supporting offline parsing (like libdivecomputer's own
dctool application), some device specific knowledge is still required in
order to map a particular model to the corresponding backend. The new
convenience function will take care of that internally.
The already existing dc_parser_new() function does the same, but
requires an open device handle, which makes it unsuitable for offline
parsing.
When the device family is provided without an explicit model number, we
simply choose the first available model. But since new models are being
added all the time, this default model is not guaranteed to remain the
same. That's not desirable because it can alter the behaviour of the
application.
The introduction of the Aeris 500AI is an example of this problem. The
default model in the vtpro family used to be the Oceanic Versa Pro. But
because the Aeris 500AI has a lower model number, it automatically
became the new default model. Since both use a different protocol
variant (MOD vs INTR) they are not interchangable.
The default model is now hardcoded. The best option is of course to
provide the model number explicitly!
Libdivecomputer always uses metric units internally. But when reverse
engineering a device that stores everything using imperial units, it's
very convenient to be able to switch the output to imperial units too.
The existing output code is removed and replaced with the new XML and
RAW output formats. The desired output format can be selected with a new
command-line option. The XML format remains the default output format.
The RAW output format exports each dive to a raw (binary) file. To
output multiple files, the filename is interpreted as a template and
should contain one or more placeholders.
The new output interface provides the necessary infrastructure to add
support for multiple output formats. Due to the abstract interface, each
new format will require only minimal changes in the application itself.
On BSD based operating systems (which includes Mac OS X), the getopt()
function is posix compliant and thus the option processing stops when
the first non-option is found. But the getopt_long() function permutes
the argument vector, just like the GNU implementation.
Using a leading '+' character in the option string disables the
permutation again.
The universal application works well, but is quite difficult to extend
with more functionality. Therefore a new and more modular application is
needed. The new dctool application will support multiple sub-commands,
to carry out specific actions. Extending the application will be as easy
as adding new commands.
The new gasmix sample contains the index of the active gas mix.
This new sample is intended as a replacement for the existing gas change
events (SAMPLE_EVENT_GASCHANGE and SAMPLE_EVENT_GASCHANGE2). To maintain
backwards compatibility, the legacy events are marked as deprecated but
not removed yet.

This parses all the core dive data, including sample data (time, depth,
cylinder pressure, deco information etc).
The deco information returns ceiling and TTS rather than ceiling and
"time at ceiling", because that's what the dive computer has, and I
don't see any other way to return the information.
We don't report any events yet, though.

Devices that only reports a single temperature in the header
will now be able to report it as well when they implement this.

The resolution of the GetTickCount function is limited to the resolution
of the system timer, which is typically in the range of 10 to 16
milliseconds. This is unsufficient for measuring very short time
intervals in the milliseconds range. The QueryPerformanceCounter
function provides much higher resolution timestamps. We already use it
for the half-duplex workaround.
The Uwatec Meridian protocol is identical to the Uwatec Smart/Galileo
protocol, except for some additional framing around each data packet,
and the switch from IrDA to usb-serial communication. For parsing, the
data format appears to be identical to the Galileo data format.
This event is on when accumulating deco time. Once you reach the floor
deco time will start decreasing and the event will stop. Going below the
floor again will re-activate the event.

The new xml element makes the the gaschange events stand out more
against the other less important events. At the same time it also
demonstrates the decoding of the packed oxygen and helium percentages.
