+ Added a threshold to the tone detector so that it is less
+ prone to trigger on silence. This was a problem when using
+ CTCSS squelch on a radio operated with closed squelch.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+
+ <para>
+ Implemented a signal level transmission mechanism based on
+ multiple tones, one for each signal level step, in the high
+ audio frequency spectrum (5.5 - 6.5kHz). This can be used
+ for linking in remote receivers via RF but still measure the
+ signal strength at the remote receiver site. To map the
+ signal level to tone frequencies on the remote receiver
+ side, either RemoteTrx can be used or an Atmel AVR ATmega8
+ can be used for a more compact solution. The AVR
+ microcontroller solution take a signal level voltage and
+ converts that to one of ten tones which should be overlayed
+ on the link audio. Note: Tone transmission in RemoteTrx will
+ only work if it has been compiled in 16kHz mode. This is due
+ to the high tone frequencies used.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+
+ <para>
+ New feature: Tell repeater users that are not identifying to
+ identify themselvs. The time to wait for an identification,
+ after the repeater has been activated, is set using the
+ IDENT_NAG_TIMEOUT configuration variable. A valid
+ identification is considered to be a transmission longer
+ than the time set by the IDENT_NAG_MIN_TIME configuration
+ variable. We don't know if it's really an identification but
+ it's the best we can do.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+
+ <para>
+ New feature: The repeater can be told to activate again if
+ the squelch openes within a specified time from repeater
+ close. Use the new configuration variable
+ OPEN_ON_SQL_AFTER_RPT_CLOSE to set this up.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+
+ <para>
+ The TX_CTCSS feature have now been extended so that CTCSS
+ tone can be transmitted if there is incoming traffic from
+ another logic core (LOGIC), a module (MODULE) or if an
+ announcement is being played (ANNOUNCEMENT). Previously
+ there were only two choices, to send CTCSS tone when the
+ squelch was open (repeater use) or to always do it.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+
+ <para>
+ New module, PropagationMonitor. The propagation monitor
+ module receive emails from vhfdx.net (or gooddx.net) and
+ announce propagation alerts on the air using voice messages.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+
+ <para>
+ New module, MetarInfo. Get METAR (weather) information from
+ predefined ICAO locations and announce the information on
+ the air. Usually airports give them out.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+
+ <para>
+ A hamming window was added to the tone detector and DTMF
+ decoder to improve out-of-band audio rejection.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+
+ <para>
+ Now possible to issue commands to the core and to other
+ modules even when another module is active. This is achieved
+ by prefixing the command with a "*". If for example the
+ EchoLink module is active and you want to check if there are
+ any voice mails available the command to issue could look
+ like this: *3001#.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+
+ <para>
+ The "connect by callsign" command changed from "*" to "6*".
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+
+ <para>
+ The help module can now accept commands when not active. It
+ will read back help for the given module ID. For example the
+ command 01# will play the help message for the parrot
+ module.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+
+ <para>
+ The parrot module can now accept commands when not
+ active. The only thing it can do is to read back the entered
+ digits. For example the command 1123# will make the parrot
+ module say "one two three".
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+
+ <para>
+ The EchoLink module can now accept commands when not
+ active. The only command supported at the moment is "2",
+ reading back the local node ID. Example: 22#
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+
+ <para>
+ Now users can check if there are any voice mail messages
+ available without first logging in. Idea from Martin
+ Burkhardt. The command to use is <module id><user
+ id> so if the module id for voice mail is 3 and your user
+ id is 001, the command to check if there are any voice mails
+ available is 3001#.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+
+ <para>
+ The DTMF repeater module can now accept commands when not
+ active. It will play back the entered digits. For example
+ the command 4123# will play the 1, 2 and 3 DTMF digits.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+
+ <para>
+ A macro command may now be specified without a module
+ name. The colon separator is still required though. If no
+ module name is specified, the command is sent in to the DTMF
+ handler without activating a module first.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+
+ <para>
+ It now is possible to include a hash mark in a macro command
+ by specifying 'H' in the command string. The 'H' will be
+ translated to a '#' by the command parser and not
+ interpreted as "end of command". This can be of use if you
+ for example want to transmit a DTMF # using the DTMF
+ repeater module. The macro specification would look
+ something like this: 10=412345H#. When macro 10 is activated
+ the DTMF sequence 12345# will be transmitted.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+
+ <para>
+ Now possible to link more than one logic core together. The
+ LOGIC1 and LOGIC2 configuration variables have been replaced
+ with one configuration variable called CONNECT_LOGICS.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+
+ <para>
+ New config variable MUTE_TX_ON_RX for a NetUplink in
+ RemoteTrx. This will stop the transmitter from transmitting
+ if the squelch is open on the receiver.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+
+ <para>
+ Support for selcall activated functions added. New config
+ variables: Logic/SEL5_MACRO_RANGE,
+ RepeaterLogic/OPEN_ON_SEL5, LocalRx/SEL5_TYPE and
+ LocalRx/SEL5_DEC_TYPE. Have a look in the svxlink.conf (5)
+ manual page for more details.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+
+ <para>
+ New module SelCallEnc. This module is used to send selective
+ calling sequences out on the frequency upon user request.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+
+ <para>
+ One RemoteTrx application can now be used to run more than
+ one remote transceiver. Previously two RemoteTrx instances
+ had to be run to support two transceivers. This required two
+ sound cards to be used. Now only one sound card can be used
+ to support two transceivers. Due to this change the
+ configuration have changed a bit. To get everything right,
+ backup your old remotetrx.conf configuration file and use
+ the new default configuration file to start over. Manually
+ move configuration values from your old configuration file
+ to the new file, carefully reading the updated manual page,
+ remotetrx.conf (5), to get everything right.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+
+ <para>
+ Now possible to set a PTT hangtime for the local tx
+ type. This can be good to have on a link transmitter in
+ combination with a tone squelch. When the transmitter is
+ ordered to stop transmitting, the tone is immediately turned
+ off, causing the squelch to close on the other side. Since
+ the transmitter keeps transmitting for a while, no squelch
+ tail will be heard.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+
+ <para>
+ The DTMF repeater module now wait until all announcements
+ have been played before retransmitting the digits.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+
+ <para>
+ The EchoLink module can now use the Speex audio codec on
+ connections between two SvxLink nodes which improves the
+ audio quality a lot. Patch contributed by Steve / DH1DM.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+
+ <para>
+ Added a fallback repeater mode to the RemoteTrx which can be
+ used if using it as both RX and TX for a repeater. If the
+ network connection is lost to the repeater, the RemoteTrx
+ activates a very basic repeater mode, essentially just
+ connecting the RX to the TX.

+ New squelch detector type: EVDEV. This squelch detector read
+ events from a /dev/input/eventX device node. This can for

- MySQL and PostgreSQL have been updated to use native <package>systemd</package> unit files for startup, in place of the SysV-style init scripts. This should eliminate various unfortunate problems that occurred in Fedora 15 due to <package>systemd</package>'s rather poor handling of SysV scripts. Also, handling of cases where the database server is slow to start up is significantly better than it ever was in the SysV scripts, since <package>systemd</package> can just wait until the server is really ready without slowing the boot down.

<para>
- Ada is a modern programming language designed for large, long-lived applications – and embedded systems in particular – where reliability and efficiency are essential. It was originally developed in the early 1980s (this version is generally known as Ada 83) by a team led by Dr. Jean Ichbiah at CII-Honeywell-Bull in France. The language was revised and enhanced in an upward compatible fashion in the early 1990s, under the leadership of Mr. Tucker Taft from Intermetrics in the U.S. The resulting language, Ada 95, was the first internationally standardized (ISO) Object-Oriented Language. Under the auspices of ISO, a further (minor) revision was completed as an amendment to the standard; this version of the language is known as Ada 2005. Work is currently in progress on some additional features (including support for program annotations) and is expected to be completed in 2012.

- Bugs Everywhere is a “distributed bugtracker”, designed to complement distributed revision control systems. By using distributed revision control as a backend for bug state, we gain several convenient features:

- <itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
- Bugs and code that live on branches are tracked together—when a branch is merged, both the code changes and bug changes that the branch contains are merged alongside each other. We no longer have to be confused about whether a fix that is applied to the development branch but not yet present in the production branch means that our bug is “fixed”.

- ibus now supports X keyboard layouts and switching between them and/or input methods. X keyboard layouts can be added to the ibus context menu in addition to input method engines. This puts keyboard layouts and input methods on the same level for ibus users.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- The ibus trigger shortcut, by default Control+Space, now toggles to the previously used input method instead of switching ibus on and off. The off-state is replaced by the default keyboard layout. The new behaviour is similar to how MacOS and ChromiumOS behave with respect to input method switching. There is a configuration option in ibus-setup to switch back to the previous Control+Space behaviour for those who prefer it. However this may be removed in the future: feedback on the new default behaviour is welcome.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- Other trigger shortcut bindings specific to certain countries have been moved to the appropriate input method engine's configuration: only Control+Space is provided by default as a shortcut now. E.g. the Hangul key is now only defined for Korean engines, and Zenkaku_Hankaku is available only for Japanese engines only.
- </para>
- <para>
- The ibus-gnome3 gnome-shell extension provides a gnome-shell indicator icon with menu and input method candidate window instead of usual GTK versions. The indicator uses text symbols to show the current input method or keyboard layout of image icons. Keyboard layouts are displayed as letter country codes (e.g. 'us', 'fr', 'de', etc) and native characters (like '中', 'あ') are used for input methods. ibus-gnome3 is provided in a ibus subpackage as a technology preview for Fedora 16. The plan is to integrate it into gnome-shell itself in a future release upstream hopefully in time for Fedora 17. ibus-gnome3 can be enabled using the Shell Extensions in 'gnome-tweak-tool'. See also <ulink url="http://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Features/GnomeInputIntegration">Features/GnomeInputIntegration</ulink>.

<para>
- The DSDP software is a free open source implementation of an interior-point method for semidefinite programming. It provides primal and dual solutions, exploits low-rank structure and sparsity in the data, and has relatively low memory requirements for an interior-point method. It allows feasible and infeasible starting points and provides approximate certificates of infeasibility when no feasible solution exists. The dual-scaling algorithm implemented in this package has a convergence proof and worst-case polynomial complexity under mild assumptions on the data. For full documentation refer to <ulink url="http://www.mcs.anl.gov/hs/software/DSDP/" />.
+ Version 2.0.0 of <package>mapnik</package> is a major upgrade

+ <title>SELinux Deny Ptrace</title>
+
+ <para>
+ A new SELinux boolean, <package>deny_ptrace</package>, has
+ been added. It is recommended that users who do not plan to
+ debug applications on their machine turn this boolean on. The
+ boolean prevents rogue processes from being able to read the

+ <emphasis>gdb</emphasis>.
+ </para>

+ <para>
+ The updated X server also provides smooth scrolling for drivers,
+ and devices, that support it. Scroll data is now exported as
+ axis values in addition to the legacy button press events. This
+ allows applications to take velocity into account and provide a
+ smoother scrolling experience. Like multi-touch, to take
+ advantage of smooth scrolling support for it must also be
+ actively written into client applications themselves.
