Changed
SoapySDR support (gr-soapy)
GRC
Parameter expressions and/or values can be displayed in blocks on the flowgraph. Previously, only values were displayed. Look for the "Show Parameter ..." toggles under the View menu.
Deprecated blocks are shown in a distinct color (orange), and the optional deprecated property has been added to block yaml
Dark theme works better, especially for parameter fields
Vector length is now correctly applied to all input ports
Validation has been improved. Raw types are validated. Port connections are checked by type rather than by item size.
Variable names that cause name conflicts in Python code (e.g., with package names) are rejected
Bus logic fixes
Blocks can no longer be dragged off the screen and lost forever
gnuradio-runtime
Remove pmt::pmt_* functions, which were not actually implemented. This is technically an API change, but any use of the API would have resulted in a link error.
Remove Python bindings for internal buffer functions
gr-analog
Added an example for PLL Frequency Detector
Better names for parameters in PLL GRC blocks
gr-blocks
Consistent naming for Vector Length parameter in GRC blocks
count_bits uses VOLK popcnt for better performance (used for example in the Correlate Access Code block)
Rotator block phase increment parameter is controllable via a message, and a tag can be added at the point where the increment is adjusted
gr-digital
MPSK example updated to use a Linear Equalizer (replacing deprecated block)
gr-filter
Filter Delay documentation improvement
Interpolating FIR filter can generate C++ code
gr-dtv
VL-SNR bugs fixed (incorrect constants).
gr-qtgui
Improve autoscaling for vector sinks
Fix floating-point resolution problems in several widgets, due to interpretation of PMT doubles as floats
gr-uhd
Add policy enum to Python bindings for tune_request
Additional time spec options on UHD blocks (PC Clock on Next PPS, GPS Time on Next PPS)
Fix up code that was generating warnings
Fix command handler logic to apply commands from messages to the correct channel
gr_filter_design
"File/Save" is disabled until the taps have been computed, and the GUI is reset after a save, to make it clearer which data is being saved.
Entries are hidden for parameters that do not apply to the selected filter type.
Save window type as an integer instead of a Python enum name
gr_modtool
Improve validation of module and block names
Build System and Infrastructure
Improved messages related to dependencies MPIR and GMP. Only one of these packages is required, and the previous error messages were confusing.
Cleaner builds for Windows and Conda. A number of general cmake improvements have resulted from this work.
In-tree packaging files for DEB and RPM, used with Launchpad and COPR
Added man pages for GNU Radio tools
Test code generation for all in-tree GRC examples
In GrPybind.cmake, PYBIND11_INCLUDE_DIR (incorrect) was changed to
pybind11_INCLUDE_DIR
mysql80 uses some inline asm on x86_64, but falls back to the
function on non-x86_64. netbsd does not have a ffsll function.
helps build on non-x86_64.
Lots of changes, the biggest of which is that it now uses Qt5 as GUI toolkit.
4.2
New Features
Palette editor, save/load palettes, storing user palettes in the .xpf file.
The option 'User formulas' maintains a history of recently used formulas.
Fractal info in the Help menu.
Batch rendering.
Enabled panning in rotate mode.
Unified Open and Open Image option. Save Image option moved to Save as.
4.1
New Features
Added option to show Cartesian coordinate grid.
Custom palette helps visualizing palette before applying changes through slider selectable values now.
PNGs exported using 'Save Image' option can be imported back and users can continue zooming on it.
4.0
What's new in 4.0
The user interface is based on Qt, so XaoS has a modern look and feel.
Works on macOS Catalina, which broke older versions.
Animation rendering has been fixed.
Menu entries are now standardized.
TrueType text rendering so fonts look nicer and non-Latin alphabets are supported.
Hindi, Icelandic, Russian, Serbian and Swedish translations.
Several minor updates for the other languages.
The language can be set in the View menu now.
Lots of bug fixes.
Zooming is possible also with the mouse wheel.
Mouse cursor has been changed to cross.
Iteration number N can be used in user formulas.
Lots of source code cleanup and refactoring. It may not be obvious to end users but this will allow us to make better features and more frequent releases in the future.
3.7
There were quite a few bug fixes at this point since 3.6 was released.
LLVM versions >= 12 cannot currently correctly compile gcc stage 1 because
GCC assumes references to certain symbols like "ix86_isa_flags" will be
optimized away.
Details: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=255760
Known issues
* When running on Cygwin, child scripts (the Script() action, Execute() action and Prompt() action) fail with a bind error.
Improvements
None.
Bug fixes
The last screenful of NVT mode text is no longer lost when scrolling backwards.
The programs ar and ranlib are resolved dynamically now when building.
Numeric fields no longer ignore non-numeric characters and commas, when the NumericLock resource is false. When it is true, commas are considered valid numeric characters.
Proxy connections did not initialize TELNET state properly (courtesy of Andreas Krebbel).
dash considers \1 to be octal escape.
for PR pkg/56248, from Michael Forney's suggestion.
$echo seems to be used for performance here (was previously cat) and not
for compatibility with some esoteric system.
I misunderstood things, and failed to test the last bootstrap diff, breaking
bootstrap on Ubuntu for a while.
SQLite Release 3.36.0 On 2021-06-18
Improvement to the EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN output to make it easier to understand.
Byte-order marks at the start of a token are skipped as if they were whitespace.
An error is raised on any attempt to access the rowid of a VIEW or subquery. Formerly, the rowid of a VIEW would be indeterminate and often would be NULL. The -DSQLITE_ALLOW_ROWID_IN_VIEW compile-time option is available to restore the legacy behavior for applications that need it.
The sqlite3_deserialize() and sqlite3_serialize() interfaces are now enabled by default. The -DSQLITE_ENABLE_DESERIALIZE compile-time option is no longer required. Instead, there is is a new -DSQLITE_OMIT_DESERIALIZE compile-time option to omit those interfaces.
The "memdb" VFS now allows the same in-memory database to be shared among multiple database connections in the same process as long as the database name begins with "/".
Back out the EXISTS-to-IN optimization (item 8b in the SQLite 3.35.0 change log) as it was found to slow down queries more often than speed them up.
Improve the constant-propagation optimization so that it works on non-join queries.
The REGEXP extension is now included in CLI builds.
Mypy 0.910 released
22 Jun 2021: Mypy 0.910 was released. This release includes the --non-interactive command-line option to install stubs without user interaction, plus other fixes and improvements. Python 3.5 is now deprecated. Read the blog post for the details.
Mypy 0.901 released
8 Jun 2021: Mypy 0.901 was released. This release moves third-party library stubs to stub packages, allowing newer stubs to be easily used without updating mypy. Mypy now supports pyproject.toml and type guards, and ships wheels for Apple Silicon. Plus, there are many other features and bug fixes. Read the blog post for the details.
3.1.1 (2021-05-31)
------------------
OAuth2.0 Provider - Bugfixes
* Fix acceptance of valid IPv6 addresses in URI validation
OAuth2.0 Client - Bugfixes
* Base OAuth2 Client now has a consistent way of managing the `scope`: it consistently
relies on the `scope` provided in the constructor if any, except if overridden temporarily
in a method call. Note that in particular providing a non-None `scope` in
`prepare_authorization_request` or `prepare_refresh_token` does not override anymore
`self.scope` forever, it is just used temporarily.
* MobileApplicationClient.prepare_request_uri and MobileApplicationClient.parse_request_uri_response,
ServiceApplicationClient.prepare_request_body,
and WebApplicationClient.prepare_request_uri now correctly use the default `scope` provided in
constructor.
* LegacyApplicationClient.prepare_request_body now correctly uses the default `scope` provided in constructor
OAuth2.0 Provider - Bugfixes
* client_credentials grant: fix log message
* OpenID Connect Hybrid - fix nonce not passed to add_id_token
* Different prompt values are now handled according to spec (e.g. prompt=none)
* OpenID Connect - fix Authorization: Basic parsing
General
* improved skeleton validator for public vs private client
* replace mock library with standard unittest.mock
* build isort integration
* python2 code removal
* add python3.8 support
* bump minimum versions of pyjwt and cryptography
While here try to make updates less painful for pkgsrc developers
by automating some of the manual steps.

timescaledb-tune is a program for tuning a TimescaleDB database to perform its
best based on the host's resources such as memory and number of CPUs. It parses
the existing postgresql.conf file to ensure that the TimescaleDB extension is
appropriately installed and provides recommendations for memory, parallelism,
WAL, and other settings.
Based on pkgsrc-wip 5.1.1 package by Filip Hajny.
Changes in Varnish 6.0
Support for UDS (Unix Domain Sockets)
Because UNIX Domain Sockets have nothing like IP numbers, we were forced to
define a new level of the VCL language vcl 4.1 to cope with UDS.
The HTTP/2 code has received a lot of attention from Dag Haavi Finstad
(Varnish Software) and it holds up in production on several large sites now.
There are new and improved VMODs:
vmod_directors – Much work on the shard director
vmod_proxy – Proxy protocol information
vmod_unix – Unix Domain Socket information
vmod_vtc – Utility functions for writing varnishtest cases.
The umem stevedore has been brought back on Solaris and it is the default
storage method there now.
More error situations now get vcl failure handling, this should make life
simpler for everybody we hope.
And it goes without saying that we have fixed a lot of bugs too.
Changes in Varnish 5.0
Varnish 5.0 changes some (mostly) internal APIs and adds some major new
features over Varnish 4.1.
Separate VCL files and VCL labels
Very Experimental HTTP/2 support
The Shard Director
Hit-For-Pass is now actually Hit-For-Miss
Ban Lurker Improvements
Request Body sent always / "cacheable POST"
ESI and Backend Request Coalescing ("waitinglist") Improvement
Backend PROXY protocol requests
Default VCL search path
devicedetect.vcl
varnishtest
misc
News for VMOD authors
Changes in Varnish 4
Varnish 4 is quite an extensive update to Varnish 3, with some very big
improvements to central parts of varnish.
Client/backend split
FreeRADIUS 3.0.23
Feature improvements
* Update dictionary.aruba
* Add "set home_server state ... down" in order to mark the
home server as administratively down. Use "alive" to bring
it back to life.
* Add Post-Auth-Type "Client-Lost" which should make it easier
to log when clients stop responding.
* Add sites-available/totp as an example of how to use TOTP.
* Add %{mschap:Domain-Name}.
* Cache TLS messages in &session-state, for more debugging.
* Notes in eap configuration about TLS 1.0 / TLS 1.1, and setting
cipher_list = "DEFAULT@SECLEVEL=1"
* Added MANY warning messages about using TLS 1.3 with EAP.
In short, don't use it. Microsoft will support it in fall 2021.
Bug fixes
* Fix crash in some cases when home server is down, in debug mode.
* Fix (again) "read clients from SQL" functionality.
* Fix sql_map to return values in more situations.
* Silently ignore LEAP configuration instead of erroring out.
FreeRADIUS 3.0.22
Feature improvements
* Many new "unlang" documentation files. See "make docsite"
and then see build/docsite/freeradius-server/*/index.html
* Limited support for dynamic home servers. See proxy.conf
and doc/configuration/dynamic_home_servers.md
* Add support for prepend operator ^=. See "man unlang" for
for details.
* Added rlm_totp, for use with the Google Authenticator app.
See mods-available/totp.
* The default minimum TLS version is now TLS 1.2, as per RFC 8996.
Older versions can be allowed by setting tls_min_version, and
updating "cipher_list".
* Significantly improve the readability and contents of TLS
debug messages.
* Allow CoA and Disconnect messages over TLS sockets.
* Automatically set fragment size / MTU, so that PEAP/EAP-TLS
works, and no longer requires manual changes to the configuration.
* Allow "configurable_client_cert=yes" for EAP-TLS. This should
only be used for a "walled garden". See mods-available/eap
* Add TLS 1.2 support for EAP-Fast. Patches from Alex Clouter.
* Add ca_path_reload_interval option for tls. See mods-available/eap.
* Abfab-tls updates from Alejandro Perez.
* Add "tls_min_version" to ldap module configuration.
* We now support running policies when receiving a RadSec connection.
See sites-available/default, "New-TLS-Connection".
* Update TLS "ecdh_curve" code to allow for multiple curves.
* Allow delta CRLs.
* add rlm_sql_map, which can handle multiple columns from an SQL
query. See raddb/mods-available/sql_map.
* New xlat for setting status of rlm_always instances and new
resource-check example virtual server for manipulating control flow
in unlang policies based on status of some external resource.
Patches from Terry Burton.
* Update radmin to show more information about the home servers
using "show home_server list all".
* The default configuration now replies with EAP-Key-Name, if it
is available, and was requested.
* Include extensions in generated certificates.
* Ignore user-provided dhparams in FIPS mode.
Patch from Alexander Scheel.
* Remove native support for Cisco LEAP. It is insecure, and
should not be used. Proxying LEAP is still supported.
* Allow use of password preparation methods with rlm_eap_pwd.
Patch from Michael Braun.
* Many, many, improvements for DHCP from Nick Porter and Terry Burton.
* More RFC compliance for various corner cases of DHCP,
* Use DHCP-specific schemas.
* Add stored procedures for DHCP lease allocation
* Add support for DHCP-Decline.
* Added mods-available/dhcp_sql which is a DHCP-specific instance
of the SQL module.
* Treat DHCP Discover and Request differently for lease allocation times.
* Add support for PBKDF2 keys.
* Update dictionary.mikrotik, dictionary.aruba, dictionary.paloalto,
dictionary.juniper, dictionary.bskyb,
dictionary.alcatel.sr.
* Update default PostgreSQL schema to use "text" instead of
a fixed-size "varchar".
* Add radmin command "show client list verbose", which gives a lot
more information about each client.
* Add support for EAPS-AKA authentication to rlm_wimax.
* Add rlm_rest support for HTTP/2.
* Add REST-HTTP-Status-Code attribute holding HTTP status code.
* Add option to set http_negotiation in rlm_rest.
* Encode / decode NAS-Filter-Rule according to RFC 4849.
Inside of FreeRADIUS, each NAS-Filter-Rule just looks like
a string. But "on the wire", it follows RFC 4849.
See src/tests/unit/rfc4849.txt
* Allow attributes using old names in configuration files, SQL,
or modules to match attributes in the packet which use
new names.
* Allow querying IPv6 stats via FreeRADIUS-Stats-Client-IPv6-Address
and FreeRADIUS-Stats-Server-IPv6-Address
* Add warnings if there is no "real" User-Name to identify users.
* Add sample configuration to update Stripped-User-Name and/or
Class for user sessions. See sites-available/default
* Add configuration to suppress printing values for User-Name, etc.
See radiusd.conf, "suppress_secrets"
* Support dictionary.telrad, which is also in WiMAX format.
* PEAP 'proxy_tunneled_request_as_eap' is now configurable
at runtime with Proxy-Tunneled-Request-As-EAP.
* Debug output now lists client/server proposed TLS ciphers.
* Add support for TLS1.3, patches from Alexander Clouter
Bug fixes
* Fix long-term double free due to PCRE calling our "free"
function twice.
* Respect the "log_reject" configuration item in more places.
This lowers the number of "Login incorrect"
messages when "log_reject = no".
* Fix rpmbuild for Centos > 6. Patch from Matthew Newton.
* Run Post-Proxy-Type Fail... when all home servers are down.
* Note that rlm_replicate can only use UDP, and not TCP or TLS.
* DHCP pool lookup is now keyed by Client Identifier (Option 61) when
supplied by client, otherwise the hardware address is used. Compliant
with RFC 2132. This change will not affect existing systems on upgrade,
but new installations will use the new behavior.
Patch from Terry Burton.
* Fix minor spelling mistakes in man pages. Patch from
Alexander Scheel.
* Don't print invalid tags in rlm_cache, among other places.
* Do home_server failover immediately when an initial TCP / Radsec
connection fails.
* Port EAP-PWD constant time fixes from "master" branch. The issue
was verified by Mohamed Sabt, and a patch supplied by
Daniel De Almeida Braga.
* Clear error on SQLITE_BUSY to prevent memory leak in corner cases.
Patch from Nick Porter.
* Properly add SQL clients to virtual servers.
* Update documentation for cert generation. Patch from Alexander Scheel.
* Use better API when decoding DHCP packets, to avoid unnecessary work.
This improves performance noticeably.
* Parse locale-dependent dates.
* Strip out "-frecord-gcc-switches" from rlm_python3 configure build.
* Fix radiusd.conf ENV LD_PRELOAD function.
* Update the "sql" module so that it uses fewer handles for group selection,
which means that it is less likely to complain that the
connection pool is exhausted.
* Update the "sql" module to return "ok" when no rows have been updated
for accounting on/off.
* Make the "date" module handle UTC more consistently.
* Check for, and complain about, inconsistent use of tls_min_version
versus disable_tlsv1
* Fix "read client from SQL" code so that it properly ties clients
to a virtual server. Also document the behavior.
* Update / correct data types in dictionary.wimax
* Fix edge case in rlm_rest post decoder which could lead to the value of
a post attribute being lost in the case where the output buffer was completely
full after writing an attribute value, and more attributes needed to be encoded.
Reported by Adrian Smith.
* Fix leak with unknown attributes in detail reader.
* Fix parenting issues in rlm_yubikey.
* Update Mongo examples to be correct.
Notices
* CentOS 6, Debian 8 (Jessie) and Ubuntu 14 (Trusty) are EOL and no
longer supported. Docker files have been removed.
