# Changelog
All notable changes to GNU Radio will be documented in this file.

The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](http://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/)
and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html), starting with version 3.7.12.0.

Older Logs can be found in `docs/RELEASE-NOTES-*`.

## unreleased

### Fixed
#### Project Scope
- `boost::posix_time::[milli]second` takes integer numbers, and we now at least cast the floats to integers, as Boost 1.67 forced us to realize we're (incorrectly) using floating point her
- CMake: using regex to match compiler against "Clang" now enables correct build on OS X
#### GRC
- Fixed GRC bug which broke WX and Qt (by altering the template code), in multiple (less than awesome) steps
#### gr-analog
- `fmdet_cf`'s derivative coefficients were wrong.
#### gr-blocks
- `float_array_to_int`: int32 limits were wrongly hardcoded. 
- Fixed the undefined behaviour happening in `float_to_complex` when accessing the second input_items element in the single-input case

### Added
#### gr-analog
- QA for complex cosine
#### gr-utils
- `gr_modtool` now with autocompletion candidates for `rm`

### Changed
#### Project Scope
- Removed cppunit from all unit tests, replaced by Boost
- Removed the cppunit dependency

## [3.7.12.0] - 2018-04-01

### Software Engineering
- Changed Changelog format
- Introducing Semantic Versioning
- Change of development model: Rather than merging bugfixes to maint, merging maint to master, and next, if applicable, we'll be moving forward more in a typical management model: Development happens on master, and bugfixes are cherrypicked onto the maint-${RELEASE} branch. More info: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-gnuradio/2018-02/msg00133.html
- First attempt at having a .clang-format file to improve code contribution style quality. This is Work In Progress.

### Fixed
#### Project Scope
- Buildability on systems where custom CMake command would try to find "" (empty string) as executable
- Buildable with C++11 compilers (though deprecation warning-rich, due to `unique_ptr`)
- several previously improperly handled include directories now actually included in individual lib/CMakeLists
- Unit test/QA now parallelizable
- Logger works with log4cpp <= 1.1.2 both in and out of tree
- Python linkage under MinGW64
- Documentation Directory now uniformly "docs/" (instead of sometimes "doc/")
- `log` vs `logf` performance bugs
- on-time `pmt::mp("string")` calls (instead of cached PMTs) performance bug
- Doxygen build now reproducible
#### GRC
- Dialogs' parent windows
- Embedded Python Blocks now work in hierarchical GRC flow graphs
#### gnuradio-runtime
- `random.h`: Uniform integer Generation depended on Boost version > min version
- `random.h`: time-dependency when seeding with `0` replaced with actual standard seed
- block startup now synchronized via barrier
- New tag propagation policy "custom" for own implementation
- `get_tags_in_range` used `v.resize(0)` to clear vectors, which lead to unnecessary memory reallocations
- `logger_ptr` now always a pointer, no matter whether logging is enabled; fixes heap corruption bug
- `buffer[_reader]_sptr` superfluous grab/release performance bug
- BSD threading and shared mem compatibility
- PMT: `equal()` comparison
#### gr-utils
- Sorted files in `gr_modtool` makexml processing, leading to improved reproducibility of builds
#### gr-audio
- OS X: memcpy bug
- OS X: debug mode
- Non-Linux ALSA compatibibilty
#### gr-analog
- `fmdet_cf` now has GRC file
- `fastnoise_source`: non-threadsafe `libc` `rand()` replaced by XOROSHIRO128+
#### gr-blocks
- `simple_copy` Ctrlport example
- Metadata sink/source not closing file on `close()`
- `multiply_matrix` formerly used "magic int" value where its API expected enum (and that int wasn't covered)
- TCP connection ASIO bug
- `tags_strobe`: superfluous tags addition
- `vector_sink`: multithreading hazards on `data` access
- `tuntap_pdu`: MTU-sized IP packet reception
- `socket_pdu`: Garbage Collect closed TCP connections
#### gr-channels
- IQ imbalance block formula now mathematically correct now mathematically correct
- `selective_fading_model`: proper scaling of path length
#### gr-digital
- `additive_scrambler_bb`: tag triggered reset
- `stream_to_tagged_stream`: tag offset after `unlock()`
- `blks2/packet.py`: Flushing for small packets
- `interpolating_resampler`: GCC 4.0 compile error
- `constellation`: 16QAM demapper was wrong for one constellation point
- `chunks_to_symbols`: mutex-guard LUT against modification during use
- MSVC compatibility throug `and` -> `&&` etc
- `crc32_bb`: handle unpacked bytes correctly
- `ofdm_carrier_allocator`: catching wrong allocations instead of crashing
#### gr-dtv

#### gr-fcd
- Building on non-Linux systems
- Extended symbol bug in Reed-Solomon encoder
