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.
