V3.6.0
What's Changed
- Update for windows and better performance for soft decision 2 by @old-dab in #41

V3.5.0: Update to version 3.5.0 with feature and documentation changes
What's Changed
- Adaptations to Windows by @old-dab in #33.
- Turn phases of non-ETSI-TIIs much faster by @old-dab in #34.
- Avoid 1.5 FFTs per DAB frame by @old-dab in #35.
- Remove some more warnings from windows build by @old-dab in #36.
- Faster Viterbi decoder by @old-dab in #38.
- Improve device AirSpy be @old-dab.
- Improve device SdrPlayV3 be @old-dab.
- Improve device HackRf.
- New virtual device "File input autoplay" which automatically restarts playing a file after startup.
- Use SIMD intrinsics with the help of VOLK to speed up the OFDM processing.
- One single slider for zooming into spectrum and waterfall scope.
- On main display the audio sample rate, the Reed Solomon decoding error and CRC error are shown.
- Minor UI changes.

V3.4.0
What's Changed
- Many refactorings and cleanups.
- RTL-TCP device improved by @old-dab.
- Adapted antenna switch for RSPduo (but not tested) by @old-dab.
- Update for Windows by @old-dab in #29.
- Delete obsolete files by @old-dab in #30.
- Improvement by @old-dab for DC compensation while file readings made from RTL-SDR sticks.
- Add TII plot with values shown in dB (the one in % is kept).
- The TII scopes get colored segment markers to better see the regarding main id and sub id.
- Fix problem with audio buffer underrun with some HE-AAC input sample rates.
- Minor fixes and removing typos.
- Simplify FFT handling (got a bit faster).
- The audio spectrum display gets more reactive to the audio.
- Zoom and Pan of correlation and carrier plot enhanced with extended zooming-out capability (see below).
Behavior of the Zoom and Pan has to be changed a little:
- Press
<CTRL>key while mouse action for vertical zooming, panning and reset zoom. - Press
<SHIFT>key while mouse action for horizontal zooming, panning and reset zoom. - Use mouse wheel for zooming.
- Press left mouse button for panning.
- Press right mouse button to reset zoom.

V3.2.0
AppImage of DABstar V3.2.0, based on Ubuntu 20.04, tested on Ubuntu 24.04.
- Many, many adaptions and includes from old-dab.
- Improved TII decoding.
- Show found TII information in an extra list.
- Improved TII map on browser.
- Zooming ability on correlation spectrum and carrier view.
- Improved and additional Viterbi soft-bit generation algorithms.
- Improved Viterbi-Decoder.
- First audio selection issue solved.
- Of course other minor fixes resp. improvements.
Still known problems:
- The audio buffer got an underflow after a while at service with certain bitrates like 104 kBit/s.
- Minor other things (stored on my private TODO list)
Full Changelog: V3.0.1...V3.2.0
V3.0.1
AppImage of DABstar V3.0.1, based on Ubuntu 20.04, tested on Ubuntu 24.04.
I made big changes on the mainline, including the upgrade from Qt 5 to Qt 6.
So, I decided to raise the major version to 3.
- Upgrading from Qt 5.x.x to Qt 6.7.3. So, using also the new QWT 6.3.0 for that.
- The course frequency correction got much better due the proposal from old-dab.
- Audio output is fixed done with QtAudio, not more with portaudio, some parts taken from AbracaDABra (/~https://github.com/KejPi/AbracaDABra) and adapted it largely.
Stuttering while sound startup after service change is away (with soft fade-in/fade-out). - Use new RTL-SDR driver access from old-dab (/~https://github.com/old-dab/rtlsdr).
- Use current SDRPlay driver access V3.15 with adaptions from old-dab (/~https://github.com/old-dab).
- Issue "Service Label change" fixed (#23).
- For the service list the non-audio services can be now suppressed not to be shown there (selectable).
- While playing files, not anymore a wrong channel number is shown in service list. Instead "File" is shown there.
- Provide stereo peak-level meter on main widget.
- The audio buffer state is shown on main widget.
- Email addresses and links are clickable on dynamic label text (selectable).
- A compass direction (NW, NNE, NE, ENE, ...) is shown at the transmitter location line.
- Fix in scaling of EVM(dB) in carrier scope.
- Minor and major refactorings on different parts.
Still known problems:
- The audio buffer got a underflow after a while at service with certain bitrate like 104 kBit/s.
- At first startup the audio output destination is maybe not the intended.
- Minor other things (stored on my private TODO list)
Full Changelog: V2.8.0...V3.0.1
V2.8.0
V2.7.0
DABstar V2.6.0

- Fix in SDR/RAW dump writer
- Further minor fixes
- New program logo
- Using two randomly toggling pause slides.

DABstar V2.5.0
AppImage of DABstar V2.5.0, based on Ubuntu 20.04, tested on Ubuntu 22.04.
The major change in behavior is a fix in the Dynamic Label Text where formerly sometime "umlauts" (ö, ü, ä a.o) were shown broken.
The code base has changed to use "native" Qt and Qwt (provided by the Ubuntu repository) again. But this AppImage still works with Qwt 6.2.0.
