XCSoar 6.2.5 released!
(27. Jan 2012 by Turbo)

Hi everyone,

here comes another maintenance release for XCSoar 6.2. Once again we have fixed several bugs in this release. On some Windows Mobile PDAs the start bar was not disappearing correctly when installed from a CAB file. This problem should be fixed now. If you still experience this (or another) problem please tell us!

Also we fixed the handling of negative UTC timezone offsets. In case your flying in one of the Americas please check that the offset setting is still correct.

You can read about all other bugfixes in our changelog:
