[aprssig] OpenAPRS for iPhone 2.3.1 Released

[Gregory A. Carter]

The main intent of setting a beaconing time and interval was to keep
objects alive for events or for a repeater owner to keep alive an
object showing the repeater and frequencies, in cases where the owner
may not have APRS at the site, they could at least send it through
APRS-IS even though it doesn't go to RF.  I might be inclined to add a
setting that will actually move the object in a specified direction if
the creator chooses to have it move.
