openwebrx (0.18.0) buster; urgency=low
2019-12-08 13:02:09 +00:00
2020-02-18 20:19:00 +00:00
* Compression, resampling and filtering in the frontend have been rewritten
in javascript, sdr.js has been removed
* Decoding of Pocsag modulation is now possible
2020-02-18 20:19:00 +00:00
* Removed the 3D waterfall since it had no real application and required ~1MB
of javascript code to be downloaded
* Improved the frontend handling of the "too many users" scenario
2020-02-18 20:19:00 +00:00
* PSK63 digimode is now available (same decoding pipeline as PSK31, but with
adopted parameters)
* The frequency can now be manipulated with the mousewheel, which should
allow the user to tune more precise. The tuning step size is determined by
the digit the mouse cursor is hovering over.
* Clicking on the frequency now opens an input for direct frequency selection
2020-02-18 20:19:00 +00:00
* URL hashes have been fixed and improved: They are now updated
automatically, so a shared URL will include frequency and demodulator,
which allows for improved sharing and linking.
* New daylight scheduler for background decoding, allows profiles to be
selected by local sunrise / sunset times
* The owrx_connector is now the default way of communicating with sdr
devices. The old sdr types have been replaced, all `_connector` suffixes on
the type must be removed!
* The sources have been refactored, making it a lot easier to add support for
other devices
* SDR device failure handling has been improved, including user feedback
* New devices supported:
* wsjt-x updated to 2.1.2
2020-02-18 20:19:00 +00:00
* The rtl_tcp compatibility mode of the owrx_connector is now configurable
using the `rtltcp_compat` flag
* explicit device filter for soapy devices for multi-device setups
* compatibility fixes for safari browsers (ios and mac)
2020-02-18 20:19:00 +00:00
* Offset tuning using the `lfo_offset` has been reworked in a way that
`center_freq` has to be set to the frequency you actually want to listen
to. If you're using an `lfo_offset` already, you will probably need to
change its sign.
* `initial_squelch_level` can now be set on each profile.
* Part of the frontend code has been reworked
2020-02-18 20:19:00 +00:00
- Audio buffer minimums have been completely stripped. As a result, you
should get better latency. Unfortunately, this also means there will be
some skipping when audio starts.
- Now also supports AudioWorklets (for those browser that have it).
- Mousewheel controls for the receiver sliders
* Error handling for failed SDR devices
2020-02-18 20:19:00 +00:00
* One of the most-requested features is finally coming to OpenWebRX:
Bookmarks (sometimes also referred to as labels).
There's two kinds of bookmarks available:
2020-02-18 20:19:00 +00:00
- Serverside bookmarks that are set up by the receiver administrator.
Check the file `bookmarks.json` for examples!
- Clientside bookmarks which every user can store for themselves. They are
stored in the browser's localStorage.
* Automatic reporting of spots to [pskreporter](https://pskreporter.info/) is
now possible. Please have a look at the configuration on how to set it up.
* Websocket communication has been overhauled in large parts. It should now
be more reliable, and failing connections should now have no impact on
other users.
* Profile scheduling allows to set up band-hopping if you are running
background services.
* APRS now has the ability to show symbols on the map, if a corresponding
symbol set has been installed. Check the config!
* Debug logging has been disabled in a handful of modules, expect vastly
reduced output on the shell.
* New set of APRS-related features
2020-02-18 20:19:00 +00:00
- Decode Packet transmissions using direwolf (1k2 only for now)
- APRS packets are mostly decoded and shown both in a new panel and on the
map
- APRS is also available as a background service
2020-02-18 20:19:00 +00:00
- direwolfs I-gate functionality can be enabled, which allows your receiver
to work as a receive-only I-gate for the APRS network in the background
* Demodulation for background services has been optimized to use less total
bandwidth, saving CPU
* More metrics have been added; they can be used together with collectd and
its curl_json plugin for now, with some limitations.
* New bandplan feature, the first thing visible is the "dial" indicator that
brings you right to the dial frequency for digital modes
* fixed some bugs in the websocket communication which broke the map
* WSJT-X integration (FT8, FT4, WSPR, JT65, JT9 using wsjt-x demodulators)
2020-02-18 20:19:00 +00:00
* New Map Feature that shows both decoded grid squares from FT8 and Locations
decoded from YSF digital voice
* New Feature report that will show what functionality is available
* major rework on the openwebrx core
* Support of multiple SDR devices simultaneously
2020-02-18 20:19:00 +00:00
* Support for multiple profiles per SDR that allow the user to listen to
different frequencies
* Support for digital voice decoding
2020-02-18 20:19:00 +00:00
* Feature detection that will disable functionality when dependencies are not
available (if you're missing the digital
buttons, this is probably why)
* Support added for the following SDR sources:
- LimeSDR (`"type": "lime_sdr"`)
- PlutoSDR (`"type": "pluto_sdr"`)
2020-02-18 20:19:00 +00:00
- RTL_SDR via Soapy (`"type": "rtl_sdr_soapy"`) on special request to allow
use of the direct sampling mode
- SoapyRemote (`"type": "soapy_remote"`)
- FiFiSDR (`"type": "fifi_sdr"`)
- airspyhf devices (Airspy HF+ / Discovery) (`"type": "airspyhf"`)
