2.2.0

Changelog

  • Callsigns/station IDs are now validated (A-Z, 0-9, alphanumeric /, max 9 chars) to prevent silent meta symbol decoding errors
  • Fragment packet IDs now start randomized and the reassembler detects collisions, preventing corrupted packets when two stations fragment at the same time
  • STATUS waterfall updates smoothly and should no longer freeze as it's been moved to to the UI thread
  • Control port is now configurable from the TUI NETWORK section, PTT and serial port selection got dropdown pickers
  • LOG tab shows a yellow (!) badge for unread errors, and audio device errors now appear in the log instead of being hidden in UI mode
  • New Arch Linux and openSUSE builds

IMPORTANT ! in 2.2.0:

Audio device settings are migrated from numeric indexes to device names on first run, so devices stay correct after replugging.
