DVM Console NEO 0.6.0
DVM Console NEO 0.6.0
Version 0.6.0 completes the first portability refactor. It keeps macOS and
Windows as the supported runtime targets while separating the console runtime,
shared Avalonia presentation, audio, vocoder, storage, and optional physical
PTT capabilities needed by future Linux, iOS, and Android hosts.
This release is based on the complete v0.5.5 runtime baseline. It includes the
v0.5.4 configuration-save, TAR correlation, typed FNE state, cancellable web
stream, receive lifecycle, decoder ownership, mixer-tail, and native-audio
reliability changes, plus the v0.5.5 canceled-stream Off-state correction.
Operator changes
- File > Configuration Library manages configurations as immutable app-owned
revisions. Opening an external YAML codeplug imports it; later saves never
overwrite that source file. - File > New Configuration can create a complete configuration in Studio.
YAML remains available through full and sanitized export. - View > Channel view > Cards/List selects the desktop renderer. Cards stay
the default and retain their existing geometry and colors. List is virtualized,
grouped by system and zone, and becomes the temporary renderer below 600
logical pixels. - Card layout, routes, gain, balance, recording policy, encryption selections,
groups, patches, and authorized web-stream state are stored per managed
configuration. A compatible legacy layout is attributed during first import. - Configuration Studio and Console Settings use denser desktop rows while
retaining responsive phone-width layouts and accessible touch targets. - Event History retains the newest 5,000 current-session calls and events even
when they do not have TAR recordings. The compact Activity sidebar continues
to show at most 100 matching entries, and TAR catalog retention is unchanged.
Portability boundaries
DvmConsole.Applicationowns the application-session façade, stable IDs,
immutable runtime snapshots, commands, meters, logs, lifecycle coordination,
recording playback, generated audio, web streams, and patches without an
Avalonia dependency.DvmConsole.Presentationowns reusable Avalonia controls, pages, view models,
styles, responsive policy, List rendering, Configuration Studio, and the
Configuration Library without desktop lifetimes, pickers, filesystem paths,
serial ports, or native APIs.- Audio is split into abstractions, managed DSP/codecs, macOS CoreAudio,
Windows WASAPI, and desktop selection projects. The Windows adapter is the
only audio project that references NAudio. - Vocoder abstractions are separate from the current native implementation.
- Focused/global keyboard and serial PTT live in desktop-only projects. The
application accepts no physical PTT factories, leaving on-screen PTT
available to a future mobile host. - Configuration, asset, and recording APIs use stable IDs and stream/document
handles. Desktop-only path and reveal-in-file-manager behavior stays in the
desktop host.
Reliability and efficiency
- Runtime control snapshots are content-deduplicated; meter samples and logs do
not rebuild the full console state. List meters are coalesced per dispatcher
turn and ignore visually insignificant changes. - Programmatic gain restoration no longer feeds back as an operator command.
- TAR playback decodes a first block before opening the output endpoint and
records source, decoder, prefetch, endpoint, and first-output timing. - Configuration Library filesystem work runs away from Avalonia synchronization
contexts while remaining compatible with the existing synchronous startup
bridge. - Filesystem identities follow the target platform's case rules, avoiding
accidental recording or revision collisions.
Removed
- The unused external FFmpeg fallback and
DVM_FFMPEGenvironment variable.
Managed PCM WAV, MPEG/MP3, and Ogg Opus decoding remain supported. - The abandoned high-quality Bluetooth option and macOS native activation ABI.
Ordinary Bluetooth route handling, cold-profile safety, Keep Mic Warm, and
Apple Voice Processing remain unchanged.

Evidence and support boundary
Automated validation covers architecture boundaries, migrations, immutable
revisions, settings compatibility, desktop behavior, media/runtime behavior,
PTT release paths, and headless responsive rendering. Package checks cover
architecture, native libraries, documentation, privacy strings, private-data
exclusion, and size/file-count budgets.
This release does not claim Linux, iOS, or Android runtime support. Live FNE,
radio, default-device, Bluetooth, microphone, serial, and Windows hardware
acceptance remain distinct tests on the destination systems.
DVMHost/FNE R06A00 or newer is recommended. This software is for personal,
non-commercial, amateur, and educational use and must not be used in
public-safety or life-safety-critical applications.
This repository is an independently maintained downstream version of
