V5.2.0
Highlights
-
Includes fixes following the recent removal of Qwt.
-
The GUI has been refreshed with a more colorful look.
-
The audio peak/RMS level meter is now much more precise.
On Linux, the level meter works especially well. On Windows, timer precision limitations required a compromise, but the result should still be usable.

V5.1.0
This release does not introduce any new features compared to version V5.0.0.
The main change is that the dependency on the Qwt library has been completely removed. As a result, you may notice some minor visual differences in the user interface, although the overall behavior and usability should remain the same.
Please let me know if you notice anything that no longer works as it did in V5.0.0.

V5.0.0
After nearly half a year of work in my spare time on a separate branch, I am pleased to release a new version. The changes are extensive, which is why I am bumping the major version number to 5.
The headline feature is the Ensemble List — a database that stores individual properties of ensemble data and derived content. This is the foundational construct, with more ideas for what can be stored there in the future.
What's Changed
- New Ensemble List window providing an overview of ensemble parameters and derived content. Works with both SDR devices and files. See the README.md.
- Updated to the current Qt v6.11.1.
- VOLK integration:
SampleReaderand other components now also use the VOLK library for accelerated signal processing. - Improved sync reliability: Time sync logic and buffer handling have been refactored, along with sync state management.
- Optimized OFDM decoder: Performance improvements and increased stability when handling unusual signals.
- RMS support added: Digital level handling refactored to display both RMS and peak levels.
- Removed SDRplay v2 handler and its API integration. The SDRplay v3 driver supports SDRplay v2 devices as well.
- Bug fixes and updates to the SDRplay v3 handler.
- DC and IQ correction are now independently switchable (UI updated accordingly).
- Peak level meter timing accuracy can be calibrated (see Configuration).
- Improved handling of database initialization and scan mode.
- Improved handling of invalid file/device logic.
- ITU table enhanced and access methods refactored.
- Many code quality and modernization improvements.
- UI layout updates and window size initialization fixes for fresh startups.
- Reworked the README.md.

V4.7.0
What's Changed
-
The AppImage is not anymore based on Ubuntu 20.04 but on Linux Mint 21.3 XFCE (itself based on Ubuntu 22.04). This was due to newer tools version needed
-
Protection level is shown in main window in #92
-
Scroll only the list of transmitters in map-viewer by @edd-cgfan in #98 and #97
-
Extend AJAX timeout for map view to fit better slower browser startups
-
Make the code generally better compilable with MSVC compiler (but there are still issues) #99
-
Fix in FIG size calculation (and make it more generic)
-
Many additions and fixes are made by @old-dab
- Update xml-reader in #93
- Faster replacement for cmplx_from_phase() in #94
- Calculate phase shift from sampling rate deviation in #95
- Some Bugfixes in #96
- Bugfix in estimate_carrier_offset in #100
- Removed errors and some warnings for clang compilerin #101
- Bugfixes in soapy handler in #103
- Adding SoapySDR support (experimental) by taken over Qt-Dab SoapySDR and making many adaptions
- More work on Soapy handler and SIMD in #104
- Change bandwidth selection in Soapy handler in #105
- Reduce CPU load, summarize 3x dongle select code, ppm and third gain setting added to soapy handler in #106
- Skip audio driver in soapy handler and omit the file's suffix in QLibrary in #107
- Use lib VOLK in SampleReader in #108

V4.6.0
What's Changed
- Show all internet links in Jounaline by @old-dab in #83.
- Improved softbit decoder 2 by @old-dab in #87.
- Add slider for XML/UFF file-player position control by @old-dab in #88 and myself (so all file-player have this feature now).
- The dump button of the device windows showed further "writing" after channel change by @old-dab in #89.
- Automatically check for a new DABstar version on GitHub (the work for AbracaDABra is very acknowledged here). This feature can be deactivated on the configuration window; also the repetition time for the next check. There is also a new button on the configuration window to trigger this check manually.
- A new button on the main window allows opening the slide show picture storage folder for fast access. See the tooltip there for more details.

V4.5.0
What's Changed
Map over HTTP server
The major changes are done with the map HTTP server. I rewritten it using only Qt functions to be independent from different OS implementations for Linux and Windows.
- The handling is improved for more smoothness.
- If the web browser is closed then the HTTP server closes also after maximum 3 seconds.
- The web browser can also be closed indirectly with deactivating the HTTP server (button on main window).
- Fix for the CSV transmitter output while the HTTP server is running (the CSV output has to be activated in the configurations).
Poll
- I would like to try out the poll functionality.
It would be nice if you could briefly participate here: Poll
Thank you.

V4.4.0
What's Changed
Journaline
- Show all internet links (not only the first) by @old-dab.
- Internal memory management improved.
- Already opened submenus will be automatically closed with closing/reopening the parent menu to gain more overview.
Transmitter map
- Automatic move and zoom to the shown transmitter: This is valuable if the transmitters are more far away to your own receiver location (e.g. playing a file of a remote receiver station).
- The automatic move and zoom is disabled if a manual zoom took place.
- The own receiver location is within the automatically zoomed area if it is < 200km from the nearest transmitter station, otherwise it is ignored.
- The client window (browser) can be closed from the DABstar main window.
- Still known issue: If the client window (browser) is closed directly and then the webserver in DABstar is tried to be stopped then DABstar can sometimes hang for a while.
Other things
- Minor internally fix when closing the CIR-Viewer by the X on the windows corner.
Poll

V4.2.0
What's Changed
- The code base handles now the usage of the Osmocom RtlSdr driver but the improved driver from @old-dab is recommended.
See Link1 / Link2. - @old-dab analyzed the corrupted DLF Journaline and this AppImage includes a workaround for that problem.
- Audio peak level meter works more fluently now.
- Takeover a fix for the ETI generator from Qt-DAB.
- Minor UI adaptions and some code refactoring.
The Windows version is here: https://github.com/old-dab/DABstar/releases/tag/v4.2.0
