The new release includes a lot of bug fix, improvements, new rigs support, etc..
Version 4.5
* 2022-10-30
* New rotator utility https://www.pianetaradio.it/blog/catrotator/
* Add FT-710
* Add Rohde&Schwartz EK89X receiver
* Add Xeigu X5105
* Add Gemini DX-1200 HF-1K Amplifiers
* Kenwood rigs should now support AI command packets
* Add FT-990UNI for older 990 ROMs 1.2 and earlier
* Add FT-650
* Add get_separator and set_separator and -S option for rigctld -- node-red applicability
* Add GRBLTRK rotor project -- two axis rotor
* Add SDRPlay SDRUno rig -- can now use Data/Pkt in WSJTX
* Add ability to use cat_string to FLRig via the "w" and "W" commands
* Add -B/--mapa2b to rigctlcom
Allows rigctlcom to map set_freq on VFOA to VFOB instead
This will allow CW Skimmer to work with some rigs (e.g. IC7300) using FM
mode on VFOA and CW mode on VFOB and split mode transmit on VFOB.
Clicking on CW Skimmer will change VFOB instead of VFOA to allow working
dxpeditions where the fox is staying on frequency
* Add password capability to rigctld via -A switch.
rigctld -A will produce a consistent shared key for any specific password that can used in \password and rig_set_password
TBD The shared key can also be placed in .hamlib_settings
* Asynchronous rig data output handling to support transceive and spectrum data. Mikael, OH3BHX
Example for the IC-7300 to multicast on port 20001 and provide async rig information
rigctld --port=20001 --model=3073 --serial-speed=115200 --rig-file=/dev/serial/... --set-conf=rts_state=OFF --set-conf=dtr_state=OFF --multicast-addr=224.0.0.1 --multicast-port=20001 --set-conf=async=1
Also, spectrum data output needs to be enabled with: \set_func SPECTRUM 1
* See new set_conf option async for some Icom rigs
* Multicast UDP packet output for asynchronous data. Mikael, OH3BHX
* Rig state poll routine to serve commonly used data like frequency and mode from cache. Mikael, OH3BHX
* deprecated hamlib_port_t at front of rig_state structure -- new one at end of structure
* New rig_send_raw to send/read raw command to rig
* New RIG_LEVEL_BAND_SELECT for Yaesu rigs
* New rig_get_conf2 to replace rig_get_conf buffer overflow potential
* New rot_get_conf2 to reaplce rot_get_conf buffer overflow potential
* Added Barrett 4050 -- not functional yet
* Added TCI 1.X -- not functional yet
* Added TM-V71(A)
* Added IC-F8101
* Added JRC JST-145 and JST-245
* Added Xiegu X108G, G90, and X6100
* Added CODAN Envoy and NGS
* Added Lab599 TX-500
* Added GOMSPACE GS100
* Deprecated: rigctl commands \set_trn (A) and \get_trn (a) as they never worked as intended
* Deprecated: field rig_caps.transceive and RIG_TRN_* macros
