XTide 2.13 (2012-06-03)

   XTide 2.13 has some GUI improvements, can work with Xaw3d or Xaw3dXft,
   and makes more fonts configurable by the user.  Get it from
   [3]http://www.flaterco.com/xtide/files.html#xtide.

   XTide 2.13 has been tested with libXaw3dXft 1.6.2 and libXaw3d 1.5E.
   Further evolution of Xaw3d and/or Xaw3dXft over the summer may incur
   code rot and necessitate a patchlevel release.

   Coders with experience with the FreeType library, please look at the
   FIXME in xxX.cc.

tideEditor 1.4.2

   tideEditor has finally been migrated from Qt 3 to Qt 4.  Available from
   [4]http://www.flaterco.com/xtide/files.html#extras.

End of maintenance for non-free data

   For [5]various reasons, I have ended maintenance of the non-free data
   set.  Anyone interested in generating new harmonic constants from
   published data can find information and a list of data sources [6]here.

Mailing list

   There is a manually-maintained, announce-only mailing list to which I
   send notices of each update to XTide or the harmonics data.  You can
   request to join by e-mailing me at dave@flaterco.com.

   Please note:  If an announcement to you gets bounced by your mail
   server, you fall off the list.  Some long-time contributors have fallen
   off because, unbeknownst to them, their ISPs subscribed to a spam
   blackholing service that blackholed all pair.com-hosted domains after
   one of them sent out spam.

To do list

   harmgen
     * Use liboctave instead of a script file.
     * Add pointer to [7]help on installing Octave.

   libtcd

   Things to do in the next major revision, if there ever is one:
     * Add header field to flag tides versus currents.
     * Get rid of internal state; fix inability to have more than one
       database open.
     * Remove gratuitous complexity in the encoding of speeds, equilibrium
       arguments, and node factors; make speeds 32-bit unsigned with no
       offset.
     * Possibly permit node factors to be specified for intervals shorter
       than 1 year and/or support apps that use libcongen to generate the
       node factors themselves.
