next beta build#209 of YAAC, created 2025-Feb-28
next beta build #209 of YAAC ("Yet Another APRS Client"), created 2025-Feb-28
downloadable from changes and updates include: 1. fix race condition with startup of PBBS plugin for inbound connected-mode AX.25 connections. 2. add support for macro variables generated by plugins which can be referenced in the free-text comment of beacons, status, and auto-answer messages. 3. optimize the startup of the expert-mode Configuration dialog so users won't have to wait so long to see it, and add performance measurement logging to determine the worst contributors to the slow creation of the dialog. 4. add Meta key (Apple Macintosh Command key) to set of allowable modifiers to get the equivalent of a right-click on a single button mouse so right-click menus can be more easily accessed on a Mac. 5. correct the reporting of tilt direction on the line-of-sight view (was reporting up for down and vice-versa). 6. fix IndexOutOfBoundsExceptions when trying to edit private local Objects from the Station/Object list view. 7. handle website configuration errors properly when trying to download plugins (especially HTTP 404 errors). 8. fix NullPointerException from race condition in closing an APRS-IS port. 9. fix JSON parser to properly handle non-null empty arrays/lists. 10. in postal address DB plugin, fix startup NullPointerException if database JDBC driver JAR file hasn't been configured yet. 11. harden the AREDN plugin against syntax errors in JSON files from AREDN nodes, and update the knowledge base of directional AREDN node types. 12. add menu bar to timeslot analysis plugin's statistics table view so the table can be printed and exported as a CSV file. 13. fix RV Telemetry plugin to allow setting macro values, fix deleting constant definitions, allow setting GPIO output pins as the result of telemetry analysis, add support for SN3218 LED driver chip (as used on the Pimoroni Automation Hat), fix scaling errors reading ADC1x15 analog0-to-digital converter chips, allow configurable I2C bus number (to work with different models of Raspberry Pi), and protect algorithm processor from crashing on bad HTTP reads. 14. fix sound file playback in the Sounds plugin, and add Maven unit tests to verify the functionality keeps working. Note this may cause build failures if someone tries to build YAAC using Maven in an environment without a sound card (such as on a cloud virtual machine). |

Re: APRS Group messages
You might want to associate the MESSAGE_TO event type; that will cause the sounds plugin to announce when a message addressed to your group arrives. Of course, that's only meaningful if you are using the sounds plugin. :-)

Re: inconsistent map behavior
To see how much heap you really need to have for your particular usage of YAAC, you can open the expert-mode Configuration dialog and enable displaying the memory utilization bar on the Preferences tab. The bar itself will appear on the map window's toolbar. you should have at least a 10% reserve. Note that specifying the -Xmx command-line option only sets the upper limit for Java heap size; if the demand is less, the actual amount of allocated heap (still more than the used heap) may be less than the maximum.

Re: APRS Group messages
For YAAC to receive from a group, you have to indicate you are a member of the group by listing it on the Message Groups table on the expert-mode Configuration dialog's General tab, and then enabling the group. This allows to leave and rejoin the group without having to delete and re-add it on the table.

next beta build #208 of YAAC ("Yet Another APRS Client"), created 2025-Feb-16
downloadable from changes and updates include: 1. set the position ambiguity correctly for raw GPS sentence position messages. 2. fix distance unit selection in preferences tab of expert-mode Configuration dialog so smaller versions of distance units for various systems of units cannot be selected by accident, and fix upgrader in case some user used the erroneous selection ability to foul up their configuration. 3. ensure YAAC and its upgraders always consistently try to find the correct path to the Java interpreter to ensure launching of upgrade stages does not fail to start the next stage. 4. fix typo introduced in build#181 that broke the calculation of Aloha circles. 5. when issuing the Locate->Station directive for a station whose position is not currently known (and YAAC sends a directed query to get the station's position), ensure that if the position report is so delayed in responding that the user is no longer viewing a map window in YAAC, the map is still updated with the received location. 6. add error check to APRS Status packet configuration to warn users if they are going to enable a status packet with text added to it, or to use Maidenhead locator position in the Status packet that report differently than the Position beacon packets also being sent. 7. fix configuration wizard to not re-create a duplicate of any GPS port in use by YAAC every time the wizard is re-run. 8. fix the packet transmission logic against incorrectly digipeating through a non-APRS port (such as the TAK plugin's port type). 9. fix symbol rendering for ATV symbol "/V" (means amateur television, not all-terrain vehicle, which is overlay code "Ak"). 10. add more entries to help index. 11. fix formatting errors in built-in help files. 12. release the timeslot usage analysis plugin, which provides extra analysis views for determining RF channel usage. 13. add support of more APRS symbols in translating APRS packets to CoT event messages. 14. fix the saving of team "color" selection in the TAK plugin. |
