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"`)
|
