I have been one of the first proud owners of an OSTC by HeinrichsWeikamp, and I’m very happy with it.
There are a bunch of reasons for this dive computer:

• The whole firmware is Open Source! If you are missing anything on this computer, you can add it without buying new hardware!
• The protocol for downloading profiles is public, so developers of Logbooks will find it easy to adapt
• It has a very well readable display, even in complete darkness and very bad sight.
• It already supports up to 5 Gases, including Nitrox and Trimix
• Buttons can be handled without problems, even with dry-gloves
• All necessary information is on the display
• It’s easy to use, self-explaining
• Highly configurable (for experienced divers with good knowledge of decompression theory)
• It has a very fair price
• And last but not least, to show HeinrichsWeikamp they did a really good job and took another great step towards an open sourced world!

• Gas Blending Utility. The new Gas Blending Utility calculates the best way to mix your gases with partial pressure method. You can enter your available filling instruments and JDiveLog calculates the best filling procedure.
• Support for RXTX-2.1. Now you can choose whether you install RXTX-2.1 or Java Comm API
• There is also a new Diagnostig panel to help finding problems in your installation

Bugfixes:

• Fixed some problems with the installer (not all variables have been replaced correctly
• Fixed a problem with rendering of diveprofiles which had multiple gas switches
• Fixed problems with gas switch on Suunto computers (VyTec)
• Fixed problem with clearing numerical fields
• Fixed problem with SAC calculation (did not calculate on manually entered dives)

• Redesign of generated Web Page. The generated Web Page is now skinnable. Up to now there are only two available skins, but if you have a good idea for a new skin feel free to create your own one and send it to me by e-Mail. I’ll include it in the new version.
• File chooser Dialogs now save the location, so you won’t have to navigate all the time through your directories
• Introduced new Status Bar on the bottom of the main window to display all progress information

• Fixed problem when using XML-characters in Text Fields (&, >, <, …)
• Fixed problem with multiple alarms in aladin import when doing decompression dives
• Fixed problem with site type (land, boat) which has not been saved before

• Printing of dive lists
• Added some documentation
• Finnish translation
• Partial update of generated web page (only changed dives)
• Copying of generated web page to server via scp (local user must be trusted on remote side)
• Panels in divesite statistics now resizable

Bugfixes:

• Fixed comm-timeout in suunto dive computer interface on systems without local echo
• Fixed bug when displaying profiles with multiple gases
• Corrections in french translations
• Fixed pressure information on import of suunto sdm files
• Fixed unit conversion of tank volume in equipment sets
• Fixed NullPointerException in statistics when no sites are specified on a dive
