This file details all of the user-facing changes that are in versions 1.7 of aprs-weather-submit. For more details, please consult the CHANGELOG file or this project's GitHub page.
The new --icon
parameter lets you specify a character from the two symbol tables. If not specified, you will get the classic weather icon.
Note that APRS.fi does not support parsing weather data from packets that have custom icons. If this is important to you, do not use this new feature.
Version 1.7 did not compile on the armhf platforms. Version 1.7.1 is fixed.
Before version 1.7.2, one could not create an APRS packet with 100% relative humidity due to a bug in the code that only allowed values from 1% to 99%. This was corrected in version 1.7.2 thanks to a report from Jeff, N9CQS.
I've also been making behind-the-scenes improvements to how this app is packaged and installed. Users of Debian-based Linux distributions can enjoy nearly-effortless installation, upgrades, and removals.
