Release 3.10.2.0 [3.10.2.0] - 2022-04-09 Changed Project Scope Clayton Smith continues the effort to replace Boost usage with modern C++ equivalents. In a related effort, he has continued the logging modernization started by Marcus Müller. In his spare time, he has tackled some tricky, intermittent CI failures, some of which turned out to be real bugs.
Release 3.9.6.0 [3.9.6.0] - 2022-04-09 Changed Project Scope PEP8 formatting applied and enforced on all Python files. GRC New JSON Config and YAML Config blocks that load configuration variables from files at runtime. Those variables may then be used in block parameters. Store the GNU Radio version in flowgraph metadata when saving.
Hooray! GNU Radio has once again been accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code. This means that we will soon be accepting proposals from students/contributors who want to spend their summer hacking on GNU Radio. Our ideas list has been updated for this year’s GSoC installment, and we are eagerly awaiting your project proposals!
We are excited to announce that we are planning for GRCon 2022 to be run as an in-person event September 26-30 at the Capital Hilton in Washington DC. If you know you will be planning to come, you are encouraged to go ahead and book your room here: https://book.passkey.com/go/GNU2022 Reservation line: (800) 405-0064 Group Code: GNU GRCon 2022 will celebrate and showcase the substantial and remarkable progress of GNU Radio and its usage in a diverse field of applications and industries.
Originally published on libvolk.org Hi everyone! We have a new VOLK release! We are happy to announce VOLK v2.5.1! We want to thank all contributors. This release wouldn’t have been possible without them. The list of contributors is pretty long this time due to a lot of support to relicense VOLK under LGPL.
The last six months brought a small number of changes regarding the GNU Radio project. Time to give an update! General Assembly September 2021 In September 2021, prior to GRCon, the General Assembly met for a “synchronous meeting” (which is what we call official events with real-time voting/elections). The meeting mainly comprised of the Board giving an update on activities and finances, an election of the Board, and votes on new members to the GA.
We are pleased to announce a new set of beginner-level tutorials, as well as a new tutorials landing page, you can check them out here A big thank you to NumFOCUS for sponsoring the work and to Matt from wavewalkerdsp who did the bulk of the work! These beginner-level tutorials walk a new user through starting GRC and creating a simple flowgraph, all the way up to creating custom blocks and using tags and message passing.
Release 3.10.0.0 [3.10.0.0] - 2022-01-14 It is with much excitement that we release the next step forward for GNU Radio - 3.10.0.0! Not only does this release bring in some extremely useful new modules (gr-iio, gr-pdu, and arguably gr-soapy thought that thankfully made it also into recent 3.9 maintenance releases), but also sets a path forward for using GNU Radio in heterogeneous compute environments by providing “custom buffers” for more efficiently interacting with accelerators (GPUS, FPGAs, TPUs, etc.
The Signal Metadata Format (SigMF) specifies a way to describe sets of recorded digital signal samples with metadata written in JSON. SigMF can be used to describe general information about a collection of samples, the characteristics of the system that generated the samples, features of signals themselves, and the relationship between different recordings.
Just as the year closes, it’s time to remind people that a fantastic event is going to take place at the beginning of February: FOSDEM 2022 FOSDEM is the Free- and Open Source conference in Europe! GNU Radio has had a strong presence there for the last few years, and 2022 will be no different.
