I have committed some several backwards incompatible changes to the libdivecomputer api. To keep the inconvenience to a minimum, a stable "release-0.1" branch has been created, which will only receive pure bugfixes. Applications are recommended to stick to this stable branch for now. Especially because these changes are only the first in a series, and backwards compatibility will be broken again in the master branch.
I have committed another change to the master branch. There is now a new dc_context_t object that is intended to initialize and shutdown the library. All public interfaces have been changed to include a context pointer as one of their arguments. If you are using the dc_device_open() and dc_parser_new() functions, you'll only have to update the dc_device_open() call, because the context pointer is automatically inherited.
At the moment, the main benefit is the improved logging, which can be enabled/disabled at both compile time (--enable-logging configure option) or runtime (dc_context_set_loglevel). By default, all logging goes to stderr as before, but an application can register a custom logging function (dc_context_set_logfunc). This will make it easier to display the log messages in your user interface.
As usual, feedback is always welcome!
