next beta build#150 of YAAC ("Yet Another APRS Client"), created 2020-May-11
downloadable from
or
changes and updates include:
1. add support for Peet Bros weather stations' "complete record" protocol
for sending weather data to computers.
2. add support for manual-only beaconing, on a per-beacon definition basis,
so that a system working cross-band VHF and HF (on a band where automatic
transmissions are prohibited) can beacon automatically on VHF and
comply with regulations on the HF band. Add a more obvious control
(the BCN button) to trigger manual beacon transmissions, with a visual
indication whether it is "reasonable" to force another beacon.
3. fix proportional path editing logic in case user deletes all paths;
this then assumes that the user meant only the direct (no digipeat)
path.
4. make some UI adjustments to prevent sudden widening of lists and
text fields because the widget doesn't have any text entries to
figure the necessary width of the widget.
5. fix NullPointerException when viewing the health monitor for weather
stations that have only sent one packet since YAAC has started.
6. stop drawing street names upside down; name flipping should only occur
for borderlines (such as province or national boundaries) where the
side of the line the name occurs on matters.
7. try to fix parsing for the Yaesu port driver.
8. fix weird case in OpenStreetMap importers where a Relation for a body
of water has only one Way in the shoreline, and no labelling tags
on the Way (only on the Relation). In such cases, the unlabelled
Way is dropped, and the multipolygon element of the Relation gets
dropped because it doesn't merge multiple Ways together.
9. some cleanup of online help documentation.
