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 + * 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 + * 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) + * 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 + - 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 + * 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: + - 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 + - Decode Packet transmissions using [direwolf](https://github.com/wb2osz/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 + - 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) + * 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 + * Support for multiple profiles per SDR that allow the user to listen to different frequencies + * Support for digital voice decoding + * 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"`) + - 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"`) -- Jakob Ketterl Sun, 08 Dec 2019 12:35:48 +0000
