new DigitalVoice (qdv) release 200508


 

I've uploaded a new release (200508) today with many changes:
  • Since the very beginning IRC clients have maintained both an "inner" and "outer" Follow-Me cache for routing. The inner cache was maintained the IRCDDB thread and the outer cache was maintained by the gateway. This is redundant and very inefficient. DigitalVoice, qdv, now uses a single cache to manage Follow-Me data.
  • The location of the configuration directory has been moved from $(HOME)/.config/qdv to $(HOME)/etc. After doing a "make install" the binary will be installed in $(HOME)/bin. If this directory is not in your search path, you can start it from your home directory by typing "bin/qdv" or from any directory by typing "~/bin/qdv". You can add $(HOME)/bin to your search path by modifying you $(HOME)/.bashrc file. Look for the "export PATH" line.
  • Incoming audio quality has been significantly improved by applying the same "healing" technology I developed for QnetGateway. This will repair many situations with incoming voice streams where packets are lost or arrive out of order.
  • It is now possible to maintain a link while you are routing. I don't recommend this, but it is possible. If you just enable linking, URCall will be fixed on "CQCQCQ". If you enable both linking and routing, be sure URCall is properly set before keying up! Use "CQCQCQ" to send your voice-stream to the linked reflector. Anything else will be sent on a route.
  • A web-based dashboard is now included. This is very similar to the dashboard I've already developed for QnetGateway. It uses the php mini-server. This web server is not suitable for the world-wide-web an should only be used on a local network. To install it, type "sudo make installdash", then surf to "http://localhost", or "http://<hostname>.local (where <hostname> is the name of the system qdv is running on), or "http://127.0.0.1" using a browser on the system that qdv and the mini-server is running on.
  • Finally, there is an About dialog box. You may need to click the "X" twice to make it go away.

What files related to the prior installation are no longer needed and should be deleted?


 

Do in this order (from your build directory):
make uninstall
make clean
git pull
sudo apt install libsqlite3-dev
make
make install

and then a "sudo make installdash" if you want to use the web-based dashboard.


 

Looks like it worked.? I ran it on an Acer notebook (9 inch screen) running Ubuntu MATE 18.04.? The QDV screen is a little too tall for the 9 inch screen as I can only as I cannot see below the Echo Test and QuickKey boxes.? I tried to decrease the height of the QDV screen, but could only move it up and down.? Is there a way I can decrease the height of the QDV screen?

Tnx

Thanks Cal, I pushed up a new version (200510) with a shorter window. Users can make it bigger by dragging a corner. Hopefully this will fit on your smaller screen.
