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.
