downloadable from
or
changes and updates include:
1. add support for Multiple mode on the Peet Bros weather stations.
2. fix scaling error on rain data when processing Peet Bros weather
station data.
3. fix error in moving and updating locally-originated objects when
the object is never heard back from a digipeater.
4. localize text in About dialog for core YAAC and plugins (not all
plugins updated yet).
5. fix whitespace issue when extracting email addresses from APRS
packet free-text comments.
6. fix NullPointerException when trying to send APRS text messages
from Radio View window.
7. fix NullPointerException in local object table when objects are
private.
8. improve the topographic layer contrast for flatter areas close
to sea level.
9. allow user to maximize topographic layer contrast over the area
they are currently viewing.
10. make per-way-type line styles editable for OSM map layer.
11. make Kenwood port type better report whether the attached
Kenwood radio is delivering GPS or weather data multiplexed
into the data stream from the radio, based on actual data
content of the stream.
12. fix bogus file reading error.
13. augment the Yaesu port type to also support Kamtronics TNCs
in command mode (still receive-only). Note the date format
selection is irrelevant when a Kamtronics is used, as it
does not deliver receive timestamp information with packets.
14. better clean up widthless stripes of ocean data when importing
OpenStreetMap PBF files with extracted ocean coastline data,
and improve dicing of high-vertex-count area boundaries from
oceans and Relations.
15. fix HTML syntax errors in mini-webserver's /history page, try
to improve compression of the map image page (if the JRE
release will allow it), improve hyperlinking on /messages
and /monitor/wx pages, don't provide hyperlink to /wx page
if local station doesn't have an attached weather station.
16. add new plugin for plotting AREDN (Amateur Radio Emergency
Digital Network, amateur-frequency WiFi mesh networking) RF
stations on the APRS map, based on the mesh topology and
station location information available from a mesh node
whose LAN includes the YAAC system. Such a map can be
exported back to the mesh by making the YAAC mini-webserver
a service on the mesh.
