General:
- New connection kind: Hybrid Radio
- New model: Simple HTTP for sending text data using GET or POST method
- Internal channel - sendhttp command now accepts further parameters, incl. GET/POST method selection
- Read button sometimes unexpectedly set the Program to 1
- Read All button sometimes did not read EON
- Internal timing is now derived from a system timer that is independent of local real time
- The way individual Connection threads communicate with main thread has been redesigned. This sometimes led to unexpected connection problems.
- UECP RT: user can configure the UECP parameter Number of transmissions, default is "indefinite"
- UECP RT: CR character is placed immediately behind the text rather than the segment end
- UECP RT: an option added for filling the rest of the text by spaces
- Demo encoder: Short RT option did not work
- If the Serial/USB port could not be opened, the program kept repeating the error message
- UDP connection: "Opened" status was indicated even though the UDP port was occupied by another application
- UDP connection: changing the UDP port was sometimes not possible without the application restart
- UDP virtual port: bidirectional communication allowed
- UDP virtual port: local port and remote port are now configurable independently
- Sometimes, the AF method B was not correctly cleared in the form when switching between Connections
- MRDS1322/MicroRDS: a RT time setting was displayed in the form which is not applicable to this model
External text sources:
- Maximum number of text sources increased from 32 to 64
- Text Replacing: XML/JSON elements are now processed separately. The Output template is no longer processed.
- XML/JSON Find element: an error message is shown if the file cannot be read
- Default name of a new Source includes a number which now always corresponds to the Source ID (i.e. "Source 3", ID: 3). The same applies to the Output.
- Text Output Setup: The Add Selected button unintentionally added also non-source items.
- A connection can be added to the Output destinations using drag and drop
Radiotext Plus, Dynamic Label Plus (RT+/DL+):
- The behavior of the Item Toggle and Item Running bits has been unified across all models
- DL+: added option to send unused elements as a group of zeros or to skip them completely
- XML/JSON: the Text Processing Presets sometimes did not work as expected, corrupting the RT+ information
- MRDS1322/MicroRDS: the RT+ indicator was displayed even though the RT+ encoder was disabled in Extensions
- PIRA32: if RT+ running bit needs to the cleared, the application sends RTPRUN=2 command
- PIRA32: RTP= command contained incorrect seventh byte
- XCMD capable encoders: the dest parameter is always set to 3 to allow keeping RT+ running bit even if a plain text is being displayed
- DAB AVT model sometimes did not send <inactive/> element when the RT+ running bit needed to be turned off
- As the RT+ becomes essential, the RT+ software encoder in Extensions is now enabled by default for most encoders which do not support RT+ directly
Please report any bugs or ambiguities.
