openwebrx (0.21.0) UNRELEASED; urgency=low * Introduced `squelch_auto_margin` config option that allows configuring the auto squelch level -- Jakob Ketterl Sun, 11 Oct 2020 21:12:00 +0000 openwebrx (0.20.0) buster focal; urgency=low * Added the ability to sign multiple keys in a single request, thus enabling multiple users to claim a single receiver on receiverbook.de * Fixed file descriptor leaks to prevent "too many open files" errors * Add new demodulator chain for FreeDV * Added new HD audio streaming mode along with a new WFM demodulator * Reworked AGC code for better results in AM, SSB and digital modes * Added support for demodulation of "Digital Radio Mondiale" (DRM) broadcast using the "dream" decoder. * New default waterfall color scheme * Prototype of a continuous automatic waterfall calibration mode * New devices supported: - FunCube Dongle Pro+ (`"type": "fcdpp"`) - Support for connections to rtl_tcp (`"type": "rtl_tcp"`) -- Jakob Ketterl Sun, 11 Oct 2020 13:02:00 +0000 openwebrx (0.19.1) buster focal; urgency=low * Added ability to authenticate receivers with listing sites using "receiver id" tokens -- Jakob Ketterl Sat, 13 Jun 2020 16:46:00 +0000 openwebrx (0.19.0) buster focal; urgency=low * Fix direwolf connection setup by implementing a retry loop * Pass direct sampling mode changes for rtl_sdr_soapy to owrx_connector * OSM maps instead of Google when google_maps_api_key is not set (thanks @jquagga) * Improved logic to pass parameters to soapy devices. - `rtl_sdr_soapy`: added support for `bias_tee` - `sdrplay`: added support for `bias_tee`, `rf_notch` and `dab_notch` - `airspy`: added support for `bitpack` * Added support for Perseus-SDR devices, (thanks @amontefusco) * Property System has been rewritten so that defaults on sdr behave as expected * Waterfall range auto-adjustment now only takes the center 80% of the spectrum into account, which should work better with SDRs that oversample or have rather flat filter curves towards the spectrum edges * Bugfix for negative network usage * FiFi SDR: prevent arecord from shutting down after 2GB of data has been sent * Added support for bias tee control on rtl_sdr devices * All connector driven SDRs now support `"rf_gain": "auto"` to enable AGC * `rtl_sdr` type now also supports the `direct_sampling` option * Added decoding implementation for for digimode "JS8Call" (requires an installation of js8call and the js8py library) * Reorganization of the frontend demodulator code * Improve receiver load time by concatenating javascript assets * HackRF support is now based on SoapyHackRF * Removed sdr.hu server listing support since the site has been shut down * Added support for Radioberry 2 Rasbperry Pi SDR Cape -- Jakob Ketterl Mon, 01 Jun 2020 17:02:00 +0000 openwebrx (0.18.0) buster; urgency=low * Compression, resampling and filtering in the frontend have been rewritten in javascript, sdr.js has been removed * Decoding of Pocsag modulation is now possible * 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 * 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 * 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 (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 Tue, 18 Feb 2020 20:09:00 +0000
