Good news everyone!

Hamlib-1.1.3 has finally been released.
Check it out at http://www.hamlib.org !

New in 1.1.3:
 * new backend: JRC (NRD-545), and many new rig models
 * rotator frontend, new easycomm backend
 * added Kylix and perl bindings and completed tcl/tk support
 * networked (RPC) rig and rotator

Note: locator calculation is not working right.

Download pages are accessible at http://sourceforge.net/projects/hamlib
i386 rpms and .deb coming soon.

Plan for 1.1.4:
* Enter more models of supported backends
* more rotor stuff
* extend perl binding, add Java binding
* collaboration with gnuradio project
* etc. (any wishes?)

Please, test it out and report to hamlib-developer@lists.sourceforge.net

Hi Stephane.

This announcement appears to be premature as the download link from the
page specified only shows 1.1.1 as being available. Can somebody clarify
that please?

> Note: locator calculation is not working right.

What exactly is the problem?

Best wishes from Riley G7GOD / KB8PPG.

Hi Riley.

The problem, it would seem, is me.  I quite simply forgot about it as
I've been rather busy of late and now my $%#$@!!! air conditioner quit
which makes it a tad miserble in the house.  I'll try to get to it, but
I have a lot of loose ends before Field Day this weekend.

If there is anyone on either list that would like to take over the
Hamlib webpage maintenance and/or the documentation I started, please
volunteer!  I had much more free time when I volunteered, but so far no
one has stepped forward to relieve me, although I only askedi for relief
once or twice on the Hamlib list.

Thank you.

I think we're dealing with different questions here - My question as
quoted above related to the "location calculator" rather than to the
announcement that preceded it.

I have to say that what puzzled me was that the download web page listed
1.1.1 as the latest version, and the announcement referred to 1.1.3 so
either 1.1.2 was never released or the web page was unreliable.

I'm not on the HamLib list at the moment, as I'm rather tied up with
sorting my wife's health out - at the moment, the local hospital is far
too near being a second home for my liking. However, it should be fairly
simple to set it up to auto-update as you make the releases on SF.Net so
that you can forget about it.

Once my wife's health is sorted out, I'd be willing to volunteer, but I
can't even guess when that might be at this stage.

I'll be glad to help you out with the docs or the website (preferably
not both). I have just taken my final exam and I hope that I will
actually have some spare time in the next six months or so. The bad news
is that I'll be gone to Geneva for the next four weeks and I will
probably not be able to do anything before I'm back. I'll get back to
you then (I will try not to forget it). Of course, I won't be sad if
someone else will "get the job" in the meanwhile.
