Release of RDS Surveyor 0.8
To celebrate the new year, I'm realeasing RDS Surveyor version 0.8. RDS Surveyor has moved forward a lot over the past year, but I was so busy I almost forgot the “release early, release often” motto. This version includes all of these improvements:
- RBDS support: PI code calculations, PTY labels, etc.
- Log files: ability to read RDS Spy's logfiles; addition of timestamps.
- Full-GUI operation: when launched from a GUI, RDS Surveyor displays a window allowing one to select a source of RDS data (file, sound card, USB key, web site [see below], etc.). It is possible to change the source at any time without restarting the program.
- Ability to download recorded RDS data (RDS Surveyor's or RDS Spy's logfiles) from web sites; preliminary "playlist" feature to list all the log files referenced from a given web page.
- New Group Analyzer window displaying detailed group contents.
- New traffic information panel.
- New panel displaying the list of used ODAs.
- New panel displaying the history of RadioText messages, with RT+ labels if RT+ is used.
- When playing back recorded data, it is now possible to simulate real time.
- Implementation of EN301700 ODA (cross-referencing of DAB from RDS).
- Improved handling of non-standard dynamic PS (now supports scrolling of one character at a time).
- Preliminary framework for saving preferences.
- Many more improvements and fixes.
