<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Greetings, all.<br><br>The next build of YAAC is now available, upgradeable from within YAAC using its built-in upgrade feature, or downloadable from the usual places:<br><br><a href="http://www.ka2ddo.org/ka2ddo/YAAC.html" target="_blank">http://www.ka2ddo.org/ka2ddo/YAAC.html</a><br><a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/yetanotheraprsc">http://sourceforge.net/projects/yetanotheraprsc</a><br><br>The changes and updates include:<br><br>1. SSL-authenticated connecting to the APRS-IS backbone is now a standard feature, rather than a plugin extension.<br><br>2. fixes for multi-TNC deployments, so that locally originated messages get the sending callsign of the TNC they are transmitted through, rather than a single callsign for the entire station.<br><br>3. support for weather-reporting Objects/Items, such as the airport weather stations on FireNet.<br><br>4. more lenient format support for sloppy telemetry messages.<br><br>5. new feature to save most tabular views as CSV files (suitable for importing into spreadsheets and other analysis applications).<br><br>6. support for the Unix gpsd daemon as a shareable GPS position source.<br><br>7. hooks for a future plugin (not yet available) for more detailed audio alerts for various conditions detected by YAAC (such as a station appearing within range, emergency messages being received, messages addressed to the local station being received, etc.).<br><br>8. ability to pause between commands issued to a TNC to get it into KISS mode, and documenting the various escape codes sendable to the TNC as part of the commands.<br><br>9. right-clicking on messages in the Raw Packets view that were received from APRS-IS now brings up a popup menu associated with the message originator, not the I-gate.<br><br>10. assorted cleanups and documentation improvements.<br><br>Enjoy, everybody!<br><br>Andrew Pavlin, KA2DDO<br>author of YAAC<br> </div></body>
