Change Log for aprs-weather-submit

Version 1.8.2

November 13, 2024

  • Fixed a bug where v1.8.1 would not handle timeouts correctly using the Win32 API. macOS and Linux users are not affected.
  • Fixed incorrect behavior in APRS server negotiation. The vers field expects the app name and version, separated by a space; however, I was separating it with a forward slash instead. I don't know if this matters or not, but it should still be fixed.

Version 1.8.1

November 3, 2024 Fixed a bug where compilation would fail on armhf platforms due to an improper cast when printf()-ing a time_t. It's a long long int on that platform, while printf() was expecting a long int instead.

Version 1.8

October 31, 2024

  • Converted the APRS-IS socket from blocking to non-blocking, with a default timeout of 15 seconds before the connection is aborted. Thanks to DL9SEC for pointing this out.
  • Added a new parameter, --timeout, to set how long the app will wait for the remote server before giving up.
  • Added support for ISO-compliant compilers (e.g., gcc -pedantic).
  • Fixed a bug where ./configure --disable-aprs-is was not honored.
  • Minor code cleanup.

Version 1.7.2

September 23, 2024

  • Fixed a bug that would prevent users from creating APRS packets with 100% relative humidity. Thanks to Jeff (N9CQS) for the bug report!
  • Minor packaging improvements for Debian repositories.

Version 1.7.1

November 30, 2023 This patch fixes a compile-time bug on armhf platforms. The format identifer %zu is used to get around an error about the size of size_t.

Version 1.7

November 29, 2023

  • The icon can now be changed from the default (WX) icon using the new --icon option.
  • Output of snprintf() is now better checked to make sure we haven't overflowed our buffer.
  • Fixed a compile-time error on armhf platforms.

Version 1.6

October 26, 2022

Version 1.5.2

August 4, 2022

  • Fix a bug where the --no-comment flag accidentally did the opposite of what it was supposed to do.
  • Fix a bug where the short option -Q was not recognized.
  • Fix a bug where altitude reports (/A=) were always included in packets, even when no altitude was specified.
  • Small code change to allow this to compile on PowerPC (ppc64/ppc64le) and other non-x86 architectures.

Version 1.5.1

June 8, 2022

  • Completely rewrite the build script to have a standard autogen, configure, and make.
  • Eliminate compiler errors when using -Wextra.

Version 1.5

September 26, 2020

  • Replace the Makefile with an Autoconf script.
  • Replace the -DNO_APRSIS make option with the --disable-aprs-is configure switch.
  • Add support for disabling assertions with the --disable-assert configure switch (though I recommend not using this).
  • Conform with GNU standards by adding a ChangeLog file (plain-text copy of GitHub's CHANGELOG.md), COPYING (a copy of LICENSE), NEWS, and README (a plaintext copy of GitHub's README.md).
  • Add the --no-comment option to suppress this app's user agent in the comment section of the packet.
  • Add the --altitude (-A) option to allow for reporting the location's altitude, in feet above mean sea level.

Version 1.4

March 8, 2020

  • Fixed a bug where latitudes and longitudes were not being converted into DMS exactly as they should be, which had been leading to minor position inaccuracies.
  • Made uncompressed positions the default again, because APRS.fi does not support weather packets with compressed positions. This is a long-standing bug on their web site. The -0 and --uncompressed-positions options are still accepted for backwards compatibility, but no longer do anything.
  • Better documentation for the compression type byte.
  • Changed the copyright date for the new year.

Version 1.3.1

September 14, 2019

  • Fixed a bug where uncompressed latitudes greater than 90° were truncated. This was not the default behavior. My apologies to anyone in Asia, Australia, Oceania, and most of the Americas.

Version 1.3

July 31, 2019

  • Added the compile-time option NO_APRSIS to strip all Internet-related functionality, just in case you're really low on space.

Version 1.2.1

July 31, 2019

  • Added <stdint.h> to prevent compiler errors. (Thank you to UR3QJW for reporting this.)

  • Switched from ANSI C to the C99 standard, in order to keep using snprintf(). Some compilers are stricter than mine and refuse to compile K&R C with it. (Another thank you to UR3QJW.)

  • Since we switched to C99, I added some tiny performance enhancements with restrict and inline.

  • Fixed a pair of bugs where uncompressed packets would fail to encode the location correctly.

  • Fixed a bug where wind speeds would not be reported properly in compressed packets, because math is hard.

  • Added linker options to the Makefile to fix linking errors with GCC 7.

  • Code cleanup. *Known issue: when compiling with GCC 7 and newer, there will be many warnings about formatting. These can be ignored. Adding -Wno-format-detection to the Makefile will quiet it down. This will be patched in a future release.

Version 1.2

April 16, 2019

  • Added preliminary support for compiling on Windows.
  • Added the option of using APRS uncompressed positions at runtime with the --uncompressed-position switch, rather than a compile-time choice.
  • Removed a dependency on stdint.h.
  • Fixed a bug where impractically large APRS-IS packets would be truncated. This was unlikely to affect real-world use.

Version 1.1

January 23, 2019 -- codename QLF

  • Added support for reporting temperatures in degrees Celsius.
  • Added a Makefile for POSIX systems.
  • Added a man page.
  • Fixed a bug where negative temperatures may cause the packet to fail to encode.
  • Cleaned up some documentation.

Version 1.0

January 21, 2019 -- codename QRV

  • Added significant documentation.

Version 0.3

January 20, 2019 -- codename QST

  • Wrote help.
  • Added support for actually sending the packet to an APRS-IS IGate.
  • Changed the position and wind data to compressed from uncompressed. For now, this can only be undone at compile-time.

Version 0.2

January 18, 2019 -- codename "Strings are hard"

  • Added support for snowfall, as clarified in APRS 1.1's errata.
  • Added support for the APRS 1.2 parameters: radiation, water level, and voltage.

Version 0.1

January 14, 2019 -- codename Q

  • Initial private release.
