xng v0.10.1
xng is a single native decoder for the radio side of aviation
and maritime data: ACARS, VDL Mode 2, HFDL, Inmarsat Aero (L/C),
Inmarsat STD-C/EGC, Iridium (ring alerts, broadcasts, ACARS over
SBD with wideband burst hunting), AIS, and Mode S/ADS-B — one CLI,
every output (console, JSON/JSONL, acarsdec-compatible UDP,
Airframes feeding, Prometheus, asf-2.0 gRPC/QUIC), and a built-in
application layer (ADS-C, CPDLC rendered as text, media advisory).
Every decode core is validated against real off-air recordings or
reference-implementation test vectors, vendored into CI. The VHF
ACARS chain is validated end-to-end into production Airframes from
a live station.

Intel macOS: build from source (GitHub retired its free Intel
macOS runners) — brew install soapysdr airspy airspyhf protobuf && cargo build --release --features airspy,airspyhf.
Binaries are built with SoapySDR plus the native Airspy backends;
they need libsoapysdr (and libairspy/libairspyhf for native
Airspy) at runtime — the .deb declares these. Multi-arch Docker
images (amd64/arm64/armv7) are published to
ghcr.io/airframesio/xng for the same tag.
