This is the same as version 1.3 beta test with a few minor documentation updates. If you already have 1.3 beta test version, there is no need to replace it with this.

Changes since version 1.2.

New Features:

  • Support for Mac OS X.
  • Many APRStt enhancements including: Morse code and speech responses to to APRStt tone sequences, new 5 digit callsign suffix abbreviation,
    position ambiguity for latitude and longitude in object reports
  • APRS Telemetry Toolkit.
  • GPS Tracker beacons are now available for the Windows version. Previously this was only in the Linux version.
  • SATgate mode for IGate. Packets heard directly are delayed before being sent
    to the Internet Server. This favors digipeated packets because the original
    arrives later and gets dropped if there are duplicates.
  • Added support for hamlib. This provides more flexible options for PTT control.
  • Implemented AGW network protocol 'M' message for sending UNPROTO information without digipeater path.
  • A list of all symbols available can be obtained with the -S
    command line option.
  • Command line option "-a n" to print audio device statistics each n seconds. Previously this was always each 100 seconds on Linux and not available on Windows.

Bugs Fixed:

  • Fixed several cases where crashes were caused by unexpected packet contents:
    • When receiving packet with unexpected form of GPS NMEA sentence.
    • When receiving packet with comment of a few hundred characters.
    • Address in path, from Internet server, more than 9 characters.
  • "INTERNAL ERROR: dlq_append NULL packet pointer." when using PASSALL.
  • In Mac OSX version: Assertion failed: (adev[a].inbuf_size_in_bytes >= 100 && adev[a].inbuf_size_in_bytes <= 32768), function audio_get, file audio_portaudio.c, line 917.
  • Tracker beacons were not always updating the location properly.
  • AGW network protocol now works properly for big-endian processors
    such as PowerPC or MIPS.
  • Packet filtering treated telemetry metadata as messages rather than telemetry.

Known Problem:

  • The Windows version in direwolf-1.3-win,zip crashes when starting to transmit on Windows XP. There have also been some other reports of erratic behavior on Windows. The crashing problem has been fixed in direwolf-1.3.1-win.zip. The original 1.3-win.zip file will be removed after it has been confirmed that the 1.3.1-win.zip version solves the problem .
