Lagom till nyår släpper nu Des nu en ny development Version 3.96.3a (December-2008) den första på mer än två år. Det verkar av kommentarerna nedan som om arbetet med en ny version 4.0 nu är i full gång efter ett långt uppehåll,
Changes
* There are a lot of internal changes so this version may not be fully stable and is not complete.
* Windows Vista compatible.
* Now has 10,000 tracks (only 100 are initially shown in the track control but more tracks are added as required).
* Now has 10,000 point sets.
* New and faster loading configuration dialog (still needs work).
* Map calibration screen.
o Faster loading.
o Uses less resources.
o New map border point adding method - now add up to 100 map border points.
o New latitude/longitude entry fields - add lat/lons in any format.
o (24S ; 25.123N ; 24 33.45 S ; 156 45 21.345 W are all valid entries)
* Map Features
o Display map feature images directly on the map at user set scale.
o Display map feature image automatically when mouse placed over map feature.
* ROUTES do not work - routes are still being developed and cannot be used.
o Route Control (Editor) is not complete, the buttons refer to the track (it is a copy of the track control and is not complete).
o The only buttons that work are the route waypoint add and insert buttons, at this stage a route can be created on the map but nothing can be done with it.
* Waypoints can now have user symbols (gps symbols are still available).
* New "Save map to Image File" - allows the saving of map sections (and other options).
* AIS (Automatic Ship Identification) has many changes
o Closest Point of Approach (range and time is shown in the list and plotted on the map).
o TCP/IP input for AIS data.
o Improved handling of data.
* New menu layout.
* Many internal changes have been made to the program to allow for the changes still to come.
* Some recent changes to the release version of OziExplorer may not be in this development version, these will be added as a priority.
