4.2: Further to the changes above, I have modified xnec2c so
that more than one FR (frequency range) card can be specified in the
NEC2 file. This makes it possible to calculate frequency-dependent
parameters over separate ranges of interest and thus reduces the time
taken by the program to produce results. Unnecessary calculations
between ranges of interest are also avoided.
Version 4.2.1: Fixed a bug where the DRAW_ENABLED and PLOT_ENABLED
flags where not cleared when the Radiation Pattern Frequency Plots
windows were closed. Made extensive style changes to the source code
so that resources like #defines, #includes and function prototypes
were moved from common.h to the relevant compilation units (.c and .h
files).
Almost all uses, if not all of them, are wrong, according to the
semantics of BUILD_DEPENDS (packages built for target available for
use _by_ tools at build-time) and TOOL_DEPEPNDS (packages built for
host available for use _as_ tools at build-time).
No change to BUILD_DEPENDS as used correctly inside buildlink3.
As proposed on tech-pkg:
https://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-pkg/2023/06/03/msg027632.html
share/gnuradio/grc/blocks/blocks_throttle2.block.yml is not included
gnuradio-core, current trick will result PLIST flict on this file.
Sorry. I'll pursue monolithic version instead

## [3.10.6.0] - 2023-03-31
### Changed
#### Runtime
- Add Python loggers to top_block and hier_block2
- Change the default log level (in the config file) to INFO instead of DEBUG
- Logging improvements in the scheduler
- Correctly determine native page size for Windows
#### GRC
- Fixed: opening the source of a hierachical block using the toolbar button produced an error
- Use the logger, instead of print statements, in generated top blocks
- Remove libX11 load from generated Python code - this was unncessary and produced warnings
- Choose Editor dialog stays above parent
#### gr-analog
- Signal Source: option to hide the message port
#### gr-blocks
- Throttle: supports max time or number of samples per work iteration, useful for reducing latency at low sample rates
- Delay block: option to hide the message port
- File Meta Sink: fix missing Python import in template code
#### gr-channels
- Default taps should be 1.0, not 1.0 + j1.0
#### gr-digital
- Async Decoder: several changes to improve performance robustness (see the commit log for more details)
#### gr-fec
- Tagged Decoder: correctly calculate the frame size for terminated CC decoder
#### gr-filter
- Fixed reverse parameters in fir_filter_with_buffer and pfb_arb_resampler, which could cause crashes
- Fixed PFB Arbitrary Resampler was ignoring attenuation parameter
#### gr-iio
- Set gain mode as specified (was always manual)
- Use the specified gain parameter for second channel (was same as first channel)
#### gr-qtgui
- Histogram Sink: calculate range of bins correctly to avoid strange distributions
- Save (to image) dialogs add file extensions and have a Save button (i.e., they work now)
#### gr-soapy
- Sources: add tags when the frequency changes
#### gr-uhd
- Support for more RFNoC blocks
- Fosphor, which produces data to drive an on-screen, OpenGL-based renderer which is expected to be in the next release
- Moving Average
- Switchboard
- Split Stream
- FFT: add properties for direction, magnitude and scaling
- RX Stream: flush after timeout
- Fully support multi-channel TX/RX (params were available for one one channel)
#### gr-vocoder
- Add a number of new codec modes for Codec2 and FreeDV
#### gr-zmq
- Selectable bind/connect to support more flexible ZMQ patterns and NAT'd networks
- Stream sources produce when available, instead of waiting for a buffer to fill, helping with latency
#### Modtool
- Use interp and decim keywords correctly when generating blocks
#### Build system and packaging
- Uninstall removes icons and desktop files
The UHD 4.4.0.0 release adds:
Raw UDP Traffic to Remote Destination for RFNoC-enabled devices.
Bug fixes and improvements for USRP devices. See the changelog.
Release v3.10.5.1
Some important blocks turned out to be broken in 3.10.5.0. This unscheduled release fixes those regressions and includes a small number of other cleanups and fixes. v3.10.5.1 is intended to be ABI compatible with v3.10.5.0. We'd still recommend rebuilding dependent packages, if possible.
Changed
Runtime
Restore the ability to set a default block buffer size using the buffer_size parameter in the config file. This was lost during refactoring in v3.9.
GRC
Add Python snipped hook point at "init before blocks", right before blocks are instantiated.
gr-audio
Remove support for OSX 10.3 and earlier.
gr-digital
Make tags visible to subclasses of OFDM Frame Equalizer.
gr-dtv
Correct constant in DVBS2 Modulator.
gr-fec
Fix errors in Channel Construction AWGN
gr-iio
Fix IIO blocks, which were broken due to a build-time dependency problem.
gr-network
Fix crash in UDP Source when buffer overruns.
gr-qtgui
Remove support for QWT 6.0 and earlier.
gr-uhd
Add async message port to USRP Source and publish overflow notifications.
Add bindings and example for RFNoC AddSub block.
3.10.5.0
Runtime
Python block have access to the block logger, as in C++
Default log level changed to INFO (from OFF)
Memory-based logger gr.dictionary_logger_backend() added for log debugging
API Note: The Python block gateway is now completely implemented in the PyBind11 wrapper, in order to clean up Python dependencies. This is technically an API change, but should not have any external effect.
PMT serialization of Complex32 vectors is now REAL | IMAG on all platforms
Python IO signature replication (multiple ports specified by one signature) fixed
GRC
Continue processing block connections after a connection error occurs
Drawing/scaling fixes that improve user experience on HiDPI and Windows machines
Build system and packaging
Many deprecation warnings fixed
Make target link libraries PRIVATE wherever possible, removing unnecessary downstream dependencies
Add Fedora 37 and drop Fedora 35 CI targets
Conda re-rendered with more recent packages - thanks to Ryan Volz for making Conda an easy-to-use, cross-platform method of installing GNU Radio
Debian and Fedora packaging specs are no longer included in the code base, since they were out of date, and are maintained by downstreams
Testing
Code formatting rules for clang format updated to v14
Removed all compiler warning suppression
Enable Python block testing for Conda on macOS
Many other improvements that make maintenance easier - thanks again to Clayton Smith. In the process of fixing tests, a number of latent bugs were fixed throughout the code.
gr-analog
AGC3 performance and bug fixes
Python has access to control_loop parent class in PLL blocks
CTCSS detection of standard tones improved by fixing floating point comparison
gr-blocks
Probe Signal cross platform reliability improved by better thread synchronization
gr-digital
CRC32 and CRC16 blocks use little-endian order regardless of host order. This is a wire format change. The options were to have different endian machines unable to communicate, or older and newer versions unable to communicate. Note that there is a more general set of blocks (CRC Append and CRC Check) that are recommended for use wherever possible.
Packet headers use consistent bit order across machines
Floating point/rounding fix in constellation lookup table
gr-fec
LDPC G matrix n and k can be access from Python
LDPC matrix output size calculation corrected
CCSDS/Viterbi path metrics overflow fix
gr-network
Improve UDP Source/Sink efficiency by removing a layer of buffering and using the GR circular buffer instead of the Boost equivalent
gr-qtgui
Fixed Python code generation for Msg CheckBox, Digital Number Control, Toggle Button, Toggle Switch
gr-soapy
Sources will generate rx_time, rx_freq and rx_rate tags, as in UHD sources, where supported by the underlying Soapy driver
gr-uhd
Re-enable uhd.find_devices(), in addition to uhd.find()
RFNoC: generate correct Python code when using clock/time source
RFNoC: allow specification of adapter IDs for streamers
RFNoC: enable setting of vlen and types for streamers
RFNoC: streamers pay attention to stream args
RFNoC: sync block controller with gr-ettus OOT
RFNoC:set_property() and get_property() added to the C++ and Python APIs
RFNoC: Python binds added for rfnoc_block_generic
gr-zeromq
Sinks will optionally block on full queue, providing backpressure. Previously, overflow data was dropped.
These are currently duplicated in mk/platform/SunOS.mk but the generic
removals will be removed soon in favour of per-package removals, due to
flags getting leaked into installed files.
