[chirp_users] New Daily Build
Greetings,
A new daily build of CHIRP is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree yesterday, and may include additional features, bug fixes, and/or bugs. If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location:
http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-07262011/
A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows:
changeset: 1094:7e47af7ecfb2 tag: tip user: Dan Smith dsmith@danplanet.com date: Mon Jul 25 20:01:51 2011 -0700 files: chirp/platform.py description: Fix (again) Win Vista/7 SaveAs dialog box file type filters
I thought I had fixed this in changeset:975, but apparently not. It seems that WinXP wants the "CustomFilter" to have the default, and Filter[] to have a list of other filter types, not including the default. Win Vista/7 seem to want the default in the Filter[] list as well. This makes the code do the right thing on the right platform.
changeset: 1093:fdd4651d3c87 user: Dan Smith dsmith@danplanet.com date: Mon Jul 25 14:32:56 2011 -0700 files: chirp/icw32.py description: [w32] Explicitly cancel scan behavior when setting a memory
Not sure why, but a newer model W32 is entering scan mode after being programmed with CHIRP. In order to either defeat the behavior that is being caused by something out of our control, or determine if it's something caused by chirp, this patch clears those bits. So, if you handle an image but don't make any memory changes, it will leave the scan bits alone. However, if you do, it will cancel any scans that are enabled and echo something to the debug log.
Later, if we support generic radio settings, these can be enabled and disabled by the user.
changeset: 1092:52eab427c4a3 user: Dan Smith dsmith@danplanet.com date: Mon Jul 25 09:36:07 2011 -0700 files: tests/images/uv3r.img description: [uv3r] Add tests for uv3r
changeset: 1091:6af090653007 user: Dan Smith dsmith@danplanet.com date: Mon Jul 25 09:35:36 2011 -0700 files: chirp/directory.py chirp/wouxun.py description: [uv3r] Add Baofeng UV-3R support
All,
Linux Fedora RPMs for the latest chirp-daily build are now available in the KK7DS Ham-Apps yum repository.
To add the repository as a software source, please follow these instructions: http://www.d-rats.com/component/content/article/30-d-rats-yum-repository/
I know it says d-rats, the chirp files are in the same repository ;-)
After setting up the repository, open the "Add/Remove Software" tool and go to "software sources" under the system menu. Make sure the "KK7DS Ham Apps Beta Software" line is checked (enabled).
For some reason, the Fedora package manager likes the beta versions better that the daily builds, so you may not see the daily release in the list the first time you update. If you don't see it, open a terminal window and enter: yum update chirp-daily_07262011
Or, If you are running Fedora fc13 or earlier, enter: yum update chirp-daily_07262011-1.fc13
That should install the latest daily build.
Happy Testing!
Mike, N0SO
