[Hamlib-developer] new release?

[Stephane F. <f4...@fr...>]

Hi!

Such a long time we haven't seen a release, I'm not sure all the curious hams
out there feel confident enough to use CVS to test our stuff in development.
As a reminder, here is how this can be done:

# Retrieve the sources
  cvs -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/hamlib login
  cvs -z3 -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/hamlib co hamlib

# If your firewall block the CVS port, this can be done also this way:
  wget http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cvstarballs/hamlib-cvsroot.tar.gz
  tar zxvf hamlib-cvsroot.tar.gz
  mv hamlib hamlibroot
  CVSROOT=`pwd`/hamlibroot cvs co hamlib

# Then, compile the package
  cd hamlib
  ./configure
  make

Then have a look at programs in the tests directory and please report
on this mailing list how it's working for you.

Frank, I think it's time for a new release. You seem to run out
of time, so let me know if you want me to convert the ft847 caps
to the new style. Once this is done, we can give birth to hamlib-1.1.1.
I have plenty of new stuff waiting to be integrated in hamlib,
like the sparse model ids and seamless backend loading, scan support,
tcl/tk wrapper, rig prober, new port data type, etc.
In the next release, I'd like also to add the support for the 40 or so of
the Icom CI-V models, plus the 10 of AOR, WinRADiO, PCRs, and make progress
on Kenwood. This is needed to make people interrested in Hamlib.
But meanwhile we need an intermediate release.

Nate, I wrote an HTML page (cloned from the USB SANE page) to summarize
the list of supported radios. If you get time, it would be nice to 
integrate it in the set of your already existing HTML pages.
Here is the URL:

and the old (to be enhanced):

Let me know if there's anything wrong, or any quirks in theses.


Cheers,
