In addition, it incorporates all of the bug fixes -released as part of the 3.7.9.3 maintenance release. - - -### GRC - -The GNU Radio Companion development environment continues to undergo -rapid development and refactoring. The tools and workflow have been -improved in the following ways: - - * Variable explorer panel and option to hide variables from canvas - * Nicer block documentation tool-tip and properties dialog tab - * Screenshots can have transparent background - * Darker color for bypassed blocks - * Select all action - * Block alignment tools - * Added bits (unpacked bytes) as a data type - * Show warning for blocks flagged as deprecated - * Remove [] around categories in the block library - * Separate core and OOT block trees via the category of each block - -The refactor of GRC continues. This should be mostly feature neutral -and make it easier for new contributors to come in and make useful -changes. Part of this is deprecating blks2 and and xmlrpc blocks and -moving them to components where they would be expected to be found -rather than the GRC sub-tree. - -### Packet Communications - -A long-time feature branch developed by Tom Rondeau has been merged -into the tree, implementing new blocks and methods for packet -communications. This is intended to replace much of the older, -overlapping, and Python-only packet-based code that already exists. -As this code matures, we will be marking this older code as deprecated -with the plan to remove it in the new 3.8 API. - -### DTV - -DTV has new transmitters for DVB-S and ITU-T J.83B 64QAM. New support -for DVB-S2X VL-SNR code rates, modulation, and framing for AMSAT are -also available. - -A significantly improved OFDM symbol synchronizer was implemented for -the DVB-T receiver (Ron Economos, Federico La Rocca). - -## Other Feature Development - -### Runtime - -Clear tags and reset all item counters when merging connections -between blocks, which prevents bad values from being propagated on -lock/unlock operations. - -Blocks always set their max_noutput_items before a flowgraph starts if -it hasn't already been set. - -Added some options to gnuradio-config-info that prints information -about the gnuradio prefs file. The old customized preference file -reader is replaced with a boost program options object. - -### QT GUIs - -The QT GUI widgets can now toggle axis labels and the frequency sink -has a new feature to set the y-axis label. This could be useful for -changing units on calibrated measurements. - -The QT GUI Entry widget has a new message port that emits a message -containing the new text whenever editing is finished. - -QT widgets recently had an optional message port to plot PDUs. This -release adds a feature to plot the tag metadata contained in the PDU. - -A new example shows how to build a C++ only QT based application. +release and the incorporated maintenance release: + +* A.
