OpenSoar Version v7.45.25 (2026/10/21)
ATTENTION: This is the final version of OpenSoar, which was forked from XCSoar three years ago and subsequently reintegrated step by step. Future versions (from 7.45.25 onwards) are based directly on the current XCSoar, supplemented by a few additional features. However, it is important to note that OpenSoar aims to integrate all useful and proven features into the main XCSoar project (upstream).
This is Git-Version (Git-Tag) v7.45.25 of OpenSoar, but don't push any own commits after this because the base will be rebuild! The hash of this state is '4a3794a022', normally you will seen this in the splash screen/info page!
