in the config file.
GHSS and US Pilotcharts added to charts downloader
Config option "Course-Up Update Period" has been renamed to
"Chart Rotation Averaging Time"
help handle for dragging waypoints in touchscreen mode
The shortcut key "D" now it works for both ENC vector charts and raster charts
in addition to cm93.
If course (COG) and speed (SOG) is not available through the normal NMEA
interface to your gps, these values can be calculated by OpenCPN by using
the position data
A course predictor is now shown on screen even when the actual target,
or the end point, is not visible on screen.
In Options-> User Interface-> Interface Options there are now three sliders
for user control of different features
A new Own ship range ring colour picker is now included
You can now get rid of the barbed arrow heads in the grib display
When GRIB plugin is active and tide- and/or current-buttons are pressed,
then tide/current calculations are shown at the "GRIB time".

For some reason ocpnDC::DrawEllipse is miscompiled on NetBSD 8.0_BETA earmv7hf:
for the tail call to dc->DrawEllipse() the compiler emits a bx instruction,
but forgets to load the address of the function in the register.
Add a memory barrier to works around this problem by avoiding the tail-call
optimisation.
Other similar functions in this file are properly compiled ...
Bump PKGREVISION
As a successor to OpenCPN Version 4.6.1, OpenCPN Version 4.8.0 contains several
incremental corrections and improvements.
Among them are:
- Expanded integrated vector graphics icon set for improved rendering of waypoints and routes.
As a successor to OpenCPN version 4.4, OpenCPN Version 4.6 contains several
new features and enhanced functions. Among them are:
Substantial functional improvements and performance increases related to
ENC vector charts.
User selectable InlandECS mode for increased safety and convenience while
navigating inland waters.
Expanded User Manual bundled with Release download.
Changes since 4.2.0:
The 4.4.0 Release is primarily a bug-fix/maintenance update.
There is one new feature, however.
The integrated GRIB PlugIn now supports GRIB V2 format files. This update
enables some new sources for worldwide GRIB data from a variety of sources.
due to a wrong value GLU_TESS_MAX_COORD on NetBSD. See
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-x11/2016/05/25/msg001733.html
Work around this by reordering -I flags so that the local GL/glu.h is used
before the one from the buildlink directory.
While there change build type from debug to release.
Bump PKGREVISION.
Changes since 4.0.0:

One mismatched digest found in geography/libmemphis02:
# package libmemphis02
recorded SHA1 (memphis-0.2.3.tar.gz) = dbc2f61e49b996dc9ca91df0de9a08eb7adbfa9b
calculated SHA1 (memphis-0.2.3.tar.gz) = 85993bce12c3616fcf6e7682a70b9605883edec2
No changes were made to the libmemphis02 distinfo file
Otherwise, existing SHA1 digests verified and found to be the same on
the machine holding the existing distfiles (morden). All existing
SHA1 digests retained for now as an audit trail.
