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](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"`)
|
