This release requires updating your HackRF to the latest firmware.
CPLD bitstreams are now included in and loaded automatically by the firmware.
There is no longer a need to update the CPLD separately.
The clock output (CLKOUT) is now turned off by default.
A new utility, hackrf_clock, provides a way to inspect and modify configuration
of hardware clocks, including turning on and off CLKOUT.
The rad1o badge is now supported by firmware in this release. Firmware from the
HackRF release/repository is different than the original CCCamp firmware and
only supports operation as a USB SDR peripheral.
When using a HackRF One with a PortaPack in "HackRF Mode" (operating as a USB
peripheral), the PortaPack display now indicates operational status and settings.
There have been many more enhancements and bug fixes.
For a full list of changes, see the git log.
- Changes for xlog version 2.0.22 - 2021-feb-27
* Fixed empty ADIF file when Distance and Azimuth fields are in use
* Distance must be "km" in ADIF output - fixed
- Changes for xlog version 2.0.21 - 2021-feb-18
* Modified get_smeter and get_powerlevel to use default values
(S9 and UNKNOWN) if hamlib cannot get values from the radio
(e.g. quisk).
* Be sure to use at least hamlib4.1 to avoid a crash that occurs
when using the "Select a Radio" GUI more than once.
* Modified configure.ac to check if compiler can support -W parameters
* Updated cty.dat 20210218 (cty-3104)
Version 4.1
2021-01-31
* rigctld and rigs should be more robust for disconnect problems
* Several fixes for Icom and Yaesu rigs
* Nobody should need to use rig->caps or rig->state anymore
If you need a variable added please contact us.
Note that rig->state abstraction is not implemented yet...no need known
* New rig_get_caps_int and rig_get_caps_cptr functions to replace using caps-> values
* New rig_get_function to replace using caps-> function pointers
* Fix shared library problem with WSJTX, JTDX, and JS8Call
* New model Barrett 950
Version 4.0
2020-11-29
* API/ABI changes, advance ABI to 4 0 0.
* Add GPIO and GPION options for DCD. Jeroen Vreeken
* New backend: ELAD FDM DUO. Giovanni, HB9EIK.
* New RIG_LEVEL_RFPOWER_METER_WATTS level
* All channel functions now take a vfo argument
* New rotator backend: iOptron. Bob, KD8CGH
* New model: Icom IC-R8600. Ekki, DF4OR
* New utility: rigctlcom. Mike, W9MDB
* New model: FT847UNI for unidirectional early serial numbers. Mike, W9MDB
* Remove GNU Texinfo files and build system dependency.
* Rig model numbers have changed to allow future growth
* Fix a lot of static code analysis errors and warnings. Mike, W9MDB
* Rearrange directory structure to put rigs and rotators sources
under their own subdirectories. Mike, W9MDB
* rig_get_channel changed to add read_only flag.
* rigctl(d) f command also returns VFO now.
* caching of vfo, frequency, mode, and ptt speeds up rigctld for all.
* caching of kenwood/yaesu "IF" speeds up polling from WSJTX/JTDX.
* rig_get_channel now has read_only flag but it still needs to be
implemented based on rig behavior, so if you use rig_get_channel you
may get a RIG_ENIMPL error to contact us for fixing it.
* New rig backend for Elecraft K4.
* New rig backend for PowerSDR (Flex and Apache users).
* Many fixes and enhancements. Mike, W9MDB and many contributors
* PTT port is no longer shared by default, use --set-conf=ptt_share=1 to enable
Mostly, this is adapting the warning flags removed from the build and
those added to clang vs gcc.
Hoist removal of -Wno-stringop-truncation to always happen, because it
was separately on for clang and gcc, and it seems likely it would be
unknown on some other compiler.
pkgsrc changes:
- drop workaround for upstream bug fixed in this release
- rename patchfile per pkglint
- Changes for xlog version 2.0.20 - 2021-jan-30
* Updated cty.dat 20210127 (cty-3102)
* Added FST4 support and 5m/8m bands for ADIF 3.1.1
* Added /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyUSB1 to the hamlib device menu
* Logeditor can hide TX(RST) and RX (RST) (useful for VHF contests)
* ADIF exports Distance and Azimuth correctly if enabled in Logeditor
* Imports ADIF from wsjt-x on UDP port 2333
* Fixed use-after-free error discovered by Chris K2CR and valgrind
* Fixed hash-table != null assert in dxcc.c
* Fixed GLib-GObject-WARNING in log.c
* Compiles cleanly with hamlib4 on ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04
This will ease transition to newer Python versions, and also removes
the apparently unnecessary restriction on 3.6. According to the upstream
build system, 3.6 is the minimum version required.
Upstream doesn't build support for these devices by default anymore:
> The actual osmosdr had only a very limited production run many years
> ago and is therefore of little interest to most gr-osmosdr users.
> Mirisdr was experimental at best, because the dongles were never
> widely avaialble outside of Japan and had multiple unconnected antenna
> ports.
