- It is now possible to have a "local" subdirectory in the
- events.d directory where the TCL files in the "local"
- directory will override the TCL files in the events.d
- directory.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- 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 themselves. 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 opens 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.
- </para>

- New directory layout for event scripts and sound clips. The
- main event scripts are now stored in
- /usr/share/svxlink/events.d. The sound clip files are now
- stored in /usr/share/svxlink/sounds/<langcode>. TCL
- modules have been separated from the event handlers and are
- now stored in /usr/share/svxlink/modules.d
- </para>

- <para>
- New squelch detector type: EVDEV. This squelch detector read
- events from a /dev/input/eventX device node. This can for
- example be of use if you have a USB audio device with some
- buttons on it. If you're in luck, it generates events when
- the buttons are pressed.

- by special interest groups for processors like Power PC,
- System/390 and ARM).
- </para>
- <para>
- The minimum processor speed depends on the end use, the method

- configurations might work on a Pentium 3, most users should
- consider a Pentium 4 or more modern processor, or the equivalent
- processor from other manufacturers. Fedora &PRODVER; is able to take

- <para>
- The complete packages can occupy over 9 GB of disk space. Final
- size is entirely determined by the installing spin and the
- packages selected during installation. Additional disk space is
- required during installation to support the installation
- environment. This additional disk space corresponds to the size
- of <filename>/Fedora/base/stage2.img</filename> (on Installation
- Disc 1) plus the size of the files in
- <filename>/var/lib/rpm</filename> on the installed system.
- </para>
- <para>
- In practical terms, additional space requirements may range from
- as little as 90 MiB for a minimal installation to as much as an
- additional 175 MiB for a larger installation.
- </para>
- <para>
- Additional space is also required for any user data, and at
- least 5% free space should be maintained for proper system
- operation.

- <title>Changes to Direct Kernel Boot</title>
- <para>
- There are significant changes when installing via a direct
- kernel boot such as PXE. Normal installation from
- installation media is unaffected.
- </para>
- </warning>
- </para>
- <para>
- Advanced users may do any of a number of styles of network
- installation, generally involving setting up some minimal kernel
- environment to perform the installation. This operation has
- undergone significant changes in Fedora 17.
- </para>
- <para>
- In F16, it is generally <emphasis>only</emphasis> necessary to
- specify the kernel and initrd location, and the install would work
- - <code>kernel/initrd</code> gets <code>stage1</code>, and
- <code>stage1</code> gets <code>stage2</code>.
- </para>
- <para>
- With noloader, this is no longer the case: when doing a direct
- kernel boot, the location for <code>stage2</code> must be
- specified. In other words: pass <code>repo=</code> or
- <code>stage2=</code> (or <code>inst.repo=</code> or
- <code>inst.stage2=</code>, as is now preferred), pointing to a
- repository. If the <code>stage2</code> image is on one server
- but then the installation packages are on some other server,
- <code>stage2=</code> must be used: <code>repo=</code> should
- only be used if the single server contains everything needed
- for the install (both the <code>stage2</code> image
- <emphasis>and</emphasis> all the packages to install). Note that
- <code>stage2=</code> still expects to see a 'repository' tree,
- you cannot just pass the path direct to a
- <filename>squashfs.img</filename> file (which is how
- <code>stage2=</code> worked when it previously existed in F15
- and earlier).
- </para>
- <para>
- For example:
-<screen>
-label linux
-kernel vmlinuz
-append initrd=initrd.img
-</screen>
- is no longer valid. It is necessary to specify <code>repo</code>:
-<screen>
-label linux
-kernel vmlinuz
-append initrd=initrd.img repo=http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/17/x86_64/os/
-</screen>
- or <code>stage2</code>:
-<screen>
-label linux
-kernel vmlinuz
-append initrd=initrd.img stage2=http://my.internal.server/17/x86_64/os/
-</screen>
- (or any other valid mirror).

- <para>
- <package>gimp</package> 2.8 introduces an optional
- single-window mode. You can toggle between the default
- multi-window mode and the new single-window mode through
- the Single-window mode checkbox in the Windows menu.

- <package>gimp</package> now allows dockable dialogs in a
- dock window to be placed in multiple columns.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- The docking bars have been removed and replaced with
- overlaid highlights. The dockable drag handle has been
- removed and the dockable menu button has been moved up to
- the tabs. A new Automatic tab style has been added which
- makes dockable tabs use the available space.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- A rather big conceptual change is that saving and
- exporting images now are clearly separated
- activities. Saving an image can only be done in the XCF
- format which is GIMP's native file format, able to save
- all kinds of information necessary for works in progress.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- For complex compositions, a flat layer structure is very
- limiting. GIMP 2.8 lets users organize their compositions
- better through the introduction of layer groups which
- allow layers to be organized in tree-like
- structures. Layer groups are fully scriptable through the
- GIMP plug-in API.

- Enhancements have also been made to the size entry widget,
- which is used for inputting most of the x, y, width,
- height parameters. For example, in the scale dialog it is
- now possible to write '50%' in the Width field to scale
- the image to 50% of the width. Expressions such as '30in +

- the Image Manager.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
-
- <para>
- Many advanced options for text and typography, like
- character styles, optical margins, or glyph
- extension. Undo/Redo is finally available for almost all
- text-related actions, and a new script enables replacing

- canvas and interaction between linked frames.

- rendering (and subsequently exporting) the output of every
- program that can create PostScript, PDF or PNG files via
- the command line (e.g. LaTeX, Lilypond, POV-Ray) inside
- Scribus. The initial version was developed as a
- project for Google Summer of Code, and this project has
- developed to allow import of externally produced
- documents, scientific publications and formulas. More
- renderers can be added with a simple configuration file.

- The "pspp" program has a new option --batch (or -b) that

- <para>
- With Fedora 15 the dynamic firewall with
- <application>firewalld</application> was introduced with the
- proof of concept implementation in Python as an optional
- component. <application>firewalld</application> is now the default
- firewall solution for Fedora 17.
- </para>
- <para>
- The dynamic firewall mode with
- <application>firewalld</application> makes it possible to
- change firewall settings without the need to restart the
- firewall and will make persistent connections possible. This
- is, for example, very useful for services that need to add
- additional firewall rules, like <application>libvirtd</application>
- and also <application>openvpn</application> in
- the future. With the static firewall model, these rules were lost
- when the firewall was modified or restarted. The firewall daemon
- holds the current configuration internally and is able to
- modify the firewall without the need to recreate the complete
- firewall configuration; it is also able to restore the
- configuration when a service is restarted or reloaded. Another use
- case for the dynamic firewall mode is printer discovery. For this
- a discovery program will be started locally that sends out a
- broadcast message. It will most likely get an answer from an
- unknown address (the new printer). This answer would normally be
- filtered by the firewall, because the answer is not related to the
- broadcast and the port of the program that was sending out the
- message is dynamic. Therefore, a fixed rule can not be created
- for this. With the dynamic firewall mode, a time limited rule
- could be requested by the discovery program to allow the receival
- of the answer.

- <para>
- A new SELinux boolean, <varname>deny_ptrace</varname>, has

- debug applications on their machine turn this boolean

- is running as the root user or attacking a process running
