3D Maps in Map feature and spectrum calibration
3D Maps in Map feature
Very nice improvement to the Map feature done by Jon srcejon. You will find all details in the Map feature readme.
New dependencies:
- qtwebengine5-dev and qtbase5-private-dev.
- You may need to build that latest version of aptdec.
It goes along with a whole bunch of changes in various plugins to adapt to 3D maps and more (PR #1127):
APT Demod Updates
- Add projection of image on to 3D map.
- Add support for temperature map.
- Add support for colour palettes for image enhancements.
- Fix IR channel names.
ADS-B Demod Updates
- Add support for animated 3D models.
- Downloaded zipped airplane database.
- Add table context menu.
- Add airline and country images to text bubbles on maps.
- Fix calculation of ground speed when on surface.
- Fix position calculation when aircraft transistions from surface to air.
- Fix altitude calculation when Q-bit is set.
- Speed up processing of large log files.
- Add new airline logos.
AIS update
- Add support for 3D models.
- Remove vessels from table if not heard from in last 10 minutes.
- Add columns in table for vessel length, time last position & message were received and number of messages received.
- Add context menu.
Satellite Tracker updates
- Add support for replaying of passes in the past, where current time is determined from File Input device.
- Add latitude and longitude to satellite data table.
- Update ground track generation to better work with 3D map.
- Add support for 3D models.
- Add Cubesat image for 2D map.
- Send LOS to other plugins, when no device settings are setup.
- Pass TLEs to other plugins, so they can use a consistent copy for replays.
Spectrum calibration
Possibility to attach a calibrated value to a corresponding relative power value at specific points in frequency. A new button in the spectrum gui allows to switch between relative and calibrated values. When right clicking on the button a dialog opens to manage the calibration points and options.

Spectrum annotations and APRS Mic-E decoding
Spectrum annotations
Implemented spectrum annotations optionally overlaying spectrum histogram display. Details here This implements issue #887
APRS Mic-E decoding
Contribution of Peter ooglek enhancing APRS decoding with the decoding of Mic-E messages. PR #1108
Other changes and fixes
- BFM Demod: fixed RDS text clearscreen. Fixes #1101
- BFM Demod: keep last message on a second line.
- BFM demod: make rds active setting persistent

- API: added histogram and waterfall markers to spectrum settings
Jogdial Controller feature plugin
Jogdial Controller feature plugin
New feature plugin to control channels and devices frequencies using a jogdial device. The jogdial devices targeted are the Contour Design ShuttleXpress and ShuttlePRO but since these devices are based on translation to keyboard events a standard keyboard (preferably US or US intl) can be used also. More information in the readme This implements #1088
Other change
The rollup state in the RollupWidget has been made an object in its own right implementing the Serializable interface. This makes conversion to/from JSON format possible and thus the settings API of all plugins in their GUI flavor will handle the rollup state. This is a prerequisite to #1050
Simple PTT: added vox system
Remote plugins update
Remote plugins update
- Added capability to choose sample size during transmission between 1, 2 and 4 bytes per I or Q sample (8, 16, 24 bits)
- Remote input: added controls of the remote instance in GUI
Other fix
- Remote Input: fixed read pointer initialization. Fixes segfault when stream sample rate is lowered
Remote output and source rework
Remote output and source rework
The RemoteOutput and RemoteSource plugins have been reworked to fix their main design flaws. The couple of plugins should now be able to work together to provide a remote transmission setup in a similar way as the RemoteInput and RemoteSink do on the Rx side. Their HTTP API has also been enhanced to provide more complete reports. This implements #838
Other changes and fixes
This release also goes with a bunch of enhancements and fixes:
