Subject: Hamlib 4.2 release
Organization: Amateur Radio!
After much work from Mike, W9MDB, and many others, Hamlib 4.2 has been
released! The files can be downloaded from:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/hamlib/files/hamlib/4.2/
or:
https://github.com/Hamlib/Hamlib/releases/tag/4.2
The source tarball and MS Windows 32 and 64 binaries are available via
either link as are MD5SUM and SHA1SUM files and signatures for all
files.
Changes for the 4.2 release include:
* New rig_get_mode_bandwidths -- returns token set for bandwidths for given mode
Rig command: \get_mode_bandwidths CW
Mode=CW
Normal=500Hz
Narrow=50Hz
Wide=2400Hz
* New rig_get_info -- returns token set for all vfos where order does not matter
This is a string return to allow for easy future expansion without changing the API
New tokens may be introduced and can be skipped if not used by clients
Rig command: \get_rig_info
VFO=Main Freq=145000000 Mode=None Width=0 RX=1 TX=1
VFO=VFOB Freq=145000000 Mode=FM Width=15000 RX=0 TX=0
Split=0 SatMode=0
Rig=Dummy
App=Hamlib
Version=20210429
CRC=0xf49f4708
* New rig_get_vfo_info
Rig command: \get_vfo_info VFOA
Freq: 145000000
Mode: None
Width: 0
Split: 0
SatMode: 0
* FILPATHLEN has changed to HAMLIB_FILPATHLEN
* USRP lib and gnuradio are deprecated and will be removed in 5.0
* Added Radan rotator
* Added Malachite SDR
* Major rework for PRM80
* Add twiddle_timeout and twiddle_rit --set-conf options
rigctld --set-conf=twiddle_timeout=5,twiddle_rit=1
This will set the twiddle timeout to 5 seconds and turn on twiddle_rit
For twiddle timeout VFOB will not be polled for 5 seconds after VFO twiddling
is detected
* rigctld --twiddle is deprecated and will be removed in 5.0 along with
get_twiddle and set_twiddle
* Rework Doxygen manual including default layout for Doxygen 1.9.1. So far
the amplifier, rotator, and utilities API sections have been updated. The
rig (radio) section remains to be updated.
As noted, portions of the Doxygen manual have been updated and can be
found at:
http://hamlib.sourceforge.net/manuals/4.2/index.html
As well the Wiki has been updated:

Have fun!
73, Nate
