changes and updates include:
1. add support for meteor-scatter mode, allowing bursting of continuous
Status packets through Serial_TNC, KISS-over-TCP, or AGWPE ports
that use timeslotting. When doing meteor-scatter, only one RF
port should be enabled for transmit, the port should be configured
for timeslotting, the Status record should be enabled with
Maidenhead locators and marked for meteor-scatter mode, and
any Beacons should be disabled. Also recommended to set the
Status for direct-only transmission (no digipeating).
2. support receiving 4-character Maidenhead locators for approximate
locations.
3. warn users if they set their beaconing rates too fast.
4. clean up source code Javadocs.
5. prevent logging TCPIP or TCPXX as I-gates if someone generates a
bad 3rd-party header.
6. make more fixes for AX.25 V2.2 connected-mode stack (still
incomplete for V2.2 extensions).
7. clean up more issues reported by the University of Maryland
findbugs utility.
8. fix drawing of PNG-defined range circles (which may be offset).
9. add option to not coalesce fast duplicate packets to AGWPE,
Serial_TNC, and KISS-over-TCP (except for FLDIGI) port types.
10. allow SSL-APRS-IS port type to use encrypted payload. This has
become necessary because most deployments of SSL/TLS have
disabled use of weak ciphers (and the NULL cipher is about
as weak as it gets), so attempts by YAAC to force NULL cipher
will cause connection failures unless the remote APRS-IS
server has explicitly re-enabled the NULL cipher.
11. add support for a Yaesu APRS radio user changing the default
date stamp format, since this affects the format of the exported
APRS packets to YAAC.
12. add ability to control-C copy the contents of a cell of most
display tables in YAAC, such that the cell contents can be
pasted as plain text into another application.
13. fix timeslotting logic so continuous bursts of packets can be
sent (TNC permitting).
14. support KISS device IDs other than zero for software TNCs
supporting more than one simultanously-connected sound card,
such as AGWPE and DireWolf.
15. add more enhancements to OpenStreetMap map importers.
16. fix station category identifications for D-star and other
non-APRS gateways.
17. fill in missing parts of the built-in help for the ADS-B,
Callsign DB, and Repeater Finder plugins.
18. support PNG offset direction in selecting suitable repeaters
in the Repeater Finder plugin.

? Alas, no, YAAC is not presently in the Raspbian repositories.?

However, you can easily update YAAC from within YAAC. Select the menu choice Help->Check for Updates. It will reach out to my website and SourceForge to see if a newer version of YAAC and/or any of the plugins you are using is available, and give you the choice of upgrading.

Hope this helps.?

Can I update using Apt Get from the main raspberry pi
Repository ? Thanks for a great
Program it runs great on my
Raspberry Pi !!
