Version 0.3.1

New features

Web page

• It is now possible to control the radio from a browser with --web, on port 8000 by default, or --web PORT for another port. Anyone on your network can open the page.
• Add --web-password PASSWORD to ask browsers for a password.
• The page works on mobile devices as well as on PC. The UI is perfectly accessible to screen readers as well, and every button has a corresponding keystroke. Additionally, short sounds play for key presses, while seeking, and at the end of a band. Settings (press S) turn each sound and spoken item on or off.

macOS and Linux

• sdr now runs on macOS (Apple silicon) and Linux. Both have downloads on the release page.
• HD Radio works on both.
• On macOS, install the RTL-SDR driver with Homebrew. On Linux, install your distribution's rtl-sdr package.
• The Linux download runs on distributions with glibc 2.35 or later, such as Ubuntu 22.04 and later, Debian 12 and later, and Fedora.

Tuning

• Add a --gain DB option, which sets the tuner gain, from 0 to 50 dB. --gain auto uses automatic gain. To keep a gain, add gain = 30 to airwaves.conf.
• Add a --ppm PPM option, which corrects the dongle's frequency error, from -200 to 200. To keep a correction, add ppm = 42 to airwaves.conf.
• Add a --device N option, which picks a dongle when more than one is plugged in, counting from 1.
• These options are available programmatically through the Receiver API.

Bug fixes

• Fixed a % sign in airwaves.conf crashing the radio. (#17)
• Fixed a frequency typed after --sonos or --airplay being read as the speaker name. (#19)
• Fixed casting to a Sonos speaker that went offline never stopping. The radio now plays on the computer again after about 30 seconds. (#22)
