All display preferences in dive modes moved to submenu Display (TFT brightness, HUD brightness, screens selection)
%He value in technical screen means %He in diluent
MOD for diluents uses own formula, ppO2(MOD) <= (ppO2_high - 0.2bar)
Alarm "Peer Down" changed to "Other CU down"

Error corrections

Compass screen visible if compass module present only
Improved unintended wake-up
Fixed CU reset on submerge
Fixed wrong topology check with single HS

Bailout CCR mode

This mode is intended for use Liberty as bailout CCR device, with another CCR used as main device. In this mode the oxygen is not injected, only the loop volume is adjusted by ADV. Decompression model is updated, where ppO2 equal SP is expected. Diluent from the other device must be configured as "2nd device diluent". When fraction O2 in the loop drops below O2 fraction in diluent (i.e. the diver probably breathes from this device), the standard CCR mode is selected automaticaly.

Bailout GF handling

GF handling bound with mode change is now smarter. Mode change CCR -> OC, Bailout GF is selected Mode change OC -> CCR, Standard GF is selected GF manually switched to Bailout GF remains active until manually switched to Standard GF.

Prebreathe timer

Setup / Preferences / Timeouts / Prebreathe time [min], default 5 min If set nonzero, timer starts count down as a last step in dive check list. This feature is independent whether check list is enabled or not.

Multiple users

Feature must be enabled and multiuser capable HS used (licence for HS needed and bootloader version at least 3.10.0) Left handset stores the profile of the user

decomodel
device configuration One user can use several devices, and/or several users can share one device. Each user have to use its own HS with his profile.

ppO2 from He

If all chemical sensors fail in dive mode, an alarm "pO2 measuring lost" is raised. If the diluent contains at least 20% He, it is possible to switch the pO2 source to He measuring. Setup / Faulty sensors / pO2 source, options "O2" or "He". Automatic switch is no longer suppoorted. When the He source is selected, all pO2 fields on handset screens have blue background and "pO2 indirect" message is on the base screen. The pO2 indirect field on the technical screen (with sensors) has always blue background, as it shows "pO2 from He" everytime. The %He field on the technical screen become dashed for both sensors, as %He calculation is invalid in this mode.

Emergency O2 injection

If all chemical sensors are not valid (error, disabled etc.), the depth is < 6m/20ft and the pO2 source is O2 sensors, an emergency O2 injection + alarm is done every 6s. In fact, Liberty become an oxygen rebreather (6m / 20ft depth is safe for pure oxygen). This action happens also in Surface mode.

Liberty version 2.10.0 Release notes

This version was not officially released, all changes are made public in next version.

Liberty version 2.9.0 (build 4165) Release notes

New features

electronic compass and GPS support

Changes

He sensors disabled if <20% He in current diluent. Can be enabled manually.
improved behavior when no pO2 measuring method available.
if no sensor is valid during sensor calibration, the result is not stored and calibration is aborted even if OK button was pressed.
no chemical sensor available (i.e only He available) and no sensor at all are indicated on BD (red and flashing red)
additional warning at dive start if there is no sensor usable.
several default values changed
dive time termination configurable (see bellow)
both HS wakeup during device start

Error corrections

occasional sudden ceiling drop when surface reached

Dive time termination

Setup / Preferences / Timeouts / Dive Time

Setting "Auto": dive time stops on surface, jumps to current time if the dive continues
Setting "Cave": dive time continues regardless of depth

Warning: Dive termination setting remains active, if not set to zero.

New features

support for HS with TFT display

Liberty version 2.8.1 (build 3961) Release notes

This version resets configuration to factory defaults!

New features

new screen with various TTS values, see bellow
gas consumption in the planner (Bailout mode)
OC gases have enhanced configuration - bootle volume (water capacity only) and pressure.
OC gas remaining pressure (used for planner warning for not enough gas)
SP automatic change, can be configured at given depth (during descent or ascent) (solves both strategy LowSP for descent+bottom, HighSP for ascent and LowSP for descent, HighSP for bottom+ascent)
or at a given time.

Changes

reached depth notification also for ascent (3 points)
Oxygen consumption in l/min
improved semigraphic editor for several configuration items

Error corrections

corrected cell test hang a bit bellow required pressure
corrected cell excluded error during cell test

TTS screen details

Items to configure:

enable TTS screen (Setup / Preferences / Display / Dive mode screens / TTS)
reconfigure the bailout gases, set the bottle volume and pressure
setup your RMV (Setup / Preferences / RMV)
set bottle end pressure (Setup / Mixtures / End Presssure)

During dive, TTS screen shows several new values:

BO RMT (Bailout Remaining Time) [minutes] How long you can stay at current depth until you have enough gas for bailout. (end pressure is taken into account)
BO TTS TTS in bailout (OC) mode, using bailouf GF setting
TTS (+2) How high will the TTS be after 2 minutes in the current depth
TTS (+5) and TTS (+10) The same as above, 5 and 10 minutes in advance
