SvxLink

File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 080102

Notes:
The biggest news in this release is that  the DTMF decoder in SvxLink Server has been replaced with a third-party one. This unfortunately add another dependency to SvxLink but it's well worth it since the DTMF decoding is much better now.

SvxLink now also compile out-of-the-box on more linux distributions. Tested distributions are: Fedora 8, Fedora Core 5, Ubuntu 7.10, Gentoo and CentOS 5.0. It also compiled on OpenSUSE 10.3 a couple of weeks back.

Other than that it's mostly bug fixing and compatibility changes.


Changes:
 Async 0.15.0
--------------

* Now compile under CentOS 5.0, Fedora 8, Ubuntu 7.10 and Gentoo.

* Inserting repeated audio fragments if incoming audio pase is too slow.
  Good when using two sound cards with slightly different sampling rate.

* Fixes for 64 bit platforms.



 EchoLib 0.12.1
----------------

* Fixes for 64 bit platforms.

* Fixed some warnings that appeared with gcc 4.2.



 SvxLink Server 0.9.0
----------------------

* It is now possible to spcify NONE for the PTT_PORT config variable if
  no hardware PTT is required.

* Bugfix: It was not possible to turn ID off completely. It would always
  ID at 12 AM.

* Improved the DTMF decoder. Now using a third party DTMF decoder from the
  spandsp library. This mean that SvxLink now depend on this library to
  work so it must be installed.

* Lowered the amplitude of the repeater idle sound.

* Now possible to set parameters for outgoing DTMF digits, typically sent
  using the DTMF Repeater module. New config variables in the tx section:
  DTMF_TONE_LENGTH, DTMF_TONE_SPACING, DTMF_TONE_AMP.

* Bugfix: Now suppressing first roger beep when opening repeater on squelch up.

* Bugfix: Audio is now not sent to modules and other cores when the repeater
  is down.

* Bugfix in ModuleDtmfRepeater: One of the frequencies for DTMF tone sending
  was wrong (1366Hz instead of 1336Hz).

* Bugfix in ModuleEchoLink: The config variables DROP, REJECT and ACCEPT
  was not properly initialized so that when they were not set in the
  config file, SvxLink would behave unpredictably.

* SvxLink can now use GSM encoded sound clips.

* SvxLink now also run on bigendian systems.

* Fixed some warnings that appeared with gcc 4.2.

* Now linking against libtcl8.4 instead of libtcl. That seem to be
  more standard.

* Now compile under CentOS 5.0, Fedora 8, Ubuntu 7.10 and Gentoo.
