April 26 2020 – Qt-DAB 3.4.1 released

 

 

 

Yesterday Jan Van Katwijk released Qt-DAB 3.4.1. You can also download the dab-mini at the same time.
What’s new in 3.4.1.?
Qt-DAB 3.4 differs from 3.3 mainly in its internal structure.
Visible changes are the sub directory “dab-mini” in the source tree, a subdirectory for creating
a mini version of the Qt-DAB software (i.e. the same software with a mini GUI)
A second visible change is that – finally – I found time to write user documentation, the resulting user guide
to be found in the docs subdirectory.
Two windows installers are now available, one for Qt-DAB and one for dabMini (the latter still somewhat
experimental).
Note that the continuous build contains the most recent sources and appImage. The windows
installers are derived from the continuous build.

What’s new in 3.4.1.?
3.4.1 does not differ that much from 3.4.
A few minor errors are removed, documentation is slightly adapted.
In the GUI there is one change: at the regular end of a scan there is a possibility of saving the result
into an ASCI encoded file, in a format that is readable by e.g. LibreOfficeCalc and similar programs.

March 13 2020 – Qt-DAB 3.3 released

 

 

Today Jan Van Katwijk released Qt-DAB 3.3. Dowload it here.
“Qt-DAB 3.3. has some new features compared to 2.1.
The change in configuration is being addressed (although there will be still a minor discontinuity in the output).
Audio subservices will now show on the services list and – as an experiment – a provision is made to define a list of frequencies as “channels”.
Furthermore, some minor errors were corrected.”
