What's Changed

Slurper Disconnect Fix

• Fixed slurper grace period logic — Two consecutive HTTP failures (30 seconds apart) would incorrectly disconnect voice. Empty slurper responses no longer fall through to the parser which was triggering unnecessary disconnects. This should resolve the frequent "Error parsing slurper data" disconnections reported by many users. (#342)

afv-native Threading Fixes (continued)

• Fixed libcurl crash — curl_multi_poll() was running without the mutex while other threads added/removed handles, causing access violations in libcurl.dll. All CURLM operations are now properly serialized. This is the likely cause of the hourly CTDs with crash dumps pointing at libcurl.dll. (#335, #344)
• Fixed PTT state machine race — mWantPtt, mPtt, and mTxUpdatePending were plain bools accessed from multiple threads without synchronization. Added a dedicated mutex to prevent state corruption that could cause TX to become unresponsive. (#300)

Electron & Dependency Updates

• Electron 40.4.0 → 41.2.0 — Includes significant Linux fixes:
  • Fixed transparent frameless windows showing visible borders and smeared/glitched content on Linux
  • Fixed window sizing issues on GNOME/Wayland with CSD
  • Fixed memory leak when setting icons on Linux/GTK
  • (Windows) Fixed user resizing of transparent windows (v41.0.3)

Related Issues

• Fixes #342 (slurper parsing errors causing disconnections)
• Fixes #335, #344 (random CTDs about every hour)
• Fixes #300 (TX becomes unresponsive)
• Should improve #296 (mini mode transparency on Linux)
• Should improve #326 (PTT stuck when changing windows)

What's Changed

afv-native Threading Fixes (v1.3.6)

Fixes multiple threading bugs in afv-native that caused freezes, crashes, and TX issues:

• Thread-safe ChainedCallback — snapshot pattern prevents iterator invalidation during concurrent add/remove/invoke (#332)
• Atomic close flag in MiniAudioDevice — fixes race between close() and notification callback
• Atomic PTT tracking — fixes TX becoming unresponsive over time (#300)
• Voice filter lock — prevents crash from concurrent voice filter access (#335)
• Lock all radio state accessors — prevents random CTDs from unprotected reads (#335)
• Disconnect deadlock fix — prevents freeze on disconnect by decoupling callback cleanup (#332)
• Null sources/sinks before device close — prevents audio thread join deadlock (#331)
• Async event dispatch — switch all OnEvent() to OnEventAsync() to prevent reentrant locking

Related Issues

• Fixes #332 (crash/freeze on disconnect)
• Fixes #335 (CTD once an hour)
• Fixes #331 (freeze stopping mic test)
• Fixes #300 (TX becomes unresponsive)

Full Changelog: 1.4.0-beta.1...1.4.0-beta.4

What's Changed

• Greatly improve network resiliency, fixing random TX disconnects and stabilising performance on spotty internet / during server hiccups / internet weather (Fixes #322 and other related issues)
• Added loopback audio, so that you can output how pilots hear you to the speakers or your headset (technically, a few more effects are applied to your voice on the pilot client side, this is a good first rendition) - Implements #294

This version is a patch on 1.3.2 and 1.3.1 which fixes audio crackle issue, mini mode expand button, and better cleanup on exit.

CAUTION: there is currently an upstream bug with electron which makes the behaviour of transparent mini mode unreliable, we recommend you disable transparent mini mode at this stage. We will monitor changes to electron and fix the issue when possible.
