APRS PropView v1.5.5.0

Released May 31, 2026.

Highlights

  • Added scheduled APRS BLN bulletins and APRS objects with preview, one-shot transmit, RF/APRS-IS routing, and configurable RF paths.
  • Added map-created APRS objects from the new Obj map control.
  • Added optional smart beaconing that changes station beacon interval from GPS speed.
  • Improved private/local APRS-IS server receive support, including bannerless or logresp-less local feeds. Unverified connections remain read-only.
  • Added station-to-station map line style controls for color mode, custom color, weight, opacity, and solid/dashed/dotted patterns.
  • Improved bidirectional station line readability by offsetting directional arrows.
  • Improved digipeater path visualization so via-digipeater RF packets draw TX-to-digi-to-RX paths when the digipeater position is known.
  • Fixed AGWPE raw K-frame payload handling for feeds that include an extra leading TNC byte.
  • Updated station filtering/sorting, APRS-IS/RF path display, and in-app help text for the new controls.
  • Updated Linux/Raspberry Pi notes for multi-port RF, AGWPE TCP, private APRS-IS feeds, scheduled packets, and smart beaconing.

Upgrade Notes

  • Existing config.toml files are preserved. Compare config.toml.example if you want to add the new [smart_beaconing], [bulletins], or [aprs_objects] sections manually.
  • Public APRS-IS behavior remains conservative: transmit and IS-to-RF gating require a verified login.
  • For Linux/Pi installs, run the installer again after pulling the release so dependencies and the systemd service are refreshed:
git pull
sudo bash ./scripts/install_linux.sh
sudo systemctl restart aprs-propview

Verification

  • Full pytest suite
  • JavaScript syntax checks for all dashboard scripts
  • Windows PyInstaller executable build
