Originally published on libvolk.org Hi everyone! VOLK 2.3 is out! We want to thank all contributors. This release wouldn’t have been possible without them. We saw lots of great improvements. On GNU Radio ‘master’ VOLK was finally removed as a submodule. Currently we see ongoing discussions on how to improve CPU feature detection because VOLK is not as reliable as we’d like it to be in that department.
Google Summer of Code 2020 projects are announced! I am very glad that my proposal for the project gr-dpd: Digital Pre-Distortion under the organisation GNU Radio is accepted.
With the growth of a project there come changes. For GNU Radio, a big change is in the pipeline too: We’re moving from our chat service from Slack to Matrix. Untypically for us, this decision came about pretty quickly, and without much community involvement. Let me go through why did this, how we reached a decision, and, most importantly, how you can join the new chat service as well.
As we continue to work on the next major release of GNU Radio (version 3.9), we take the next big step: Remove VOLK as a submodule from the GNU Radio repository. If you try and build master branch as of today, it might fail stating that CMake cannot find VOLK – this is expected, and easily remedied.
This removal is something we’ve always planned to do, ever since we created the submodule – but we never made a GREP, so let me take this opportunity to catch up and explain what we’re doing here.
Dearest most-enduring SDR community to ever roam the galaxy, the legacy 3.7 release series sees a bug fix release. We had to bump the maint version from 13 to 14, because we fundamentally changed the (pseudo) random number generation – which has the effect that pre-3.7.14.0 flowgraphs use different random scramblers and pilots, amongst other things.
Dear bravest FOSS SDR fellowship to ever been heard of in Middle-earth, it’s a relief to be able share this release candidate with you: https://github.com/gnuradio/gnuradio/releases/tag/v3.8.1.0-rc1 This contains a lot of bug fixes when comparing it directly to 3.8.0.0; it’s also home of a lot of interesting features and featurettes (see the release notes below).
Hi everyone, we have a new VOLK release v2.2.0! We want to thank all contributors. This release wouldn’t have been possible without them. We’re curious about VOLK users. Especially we’d like to learn about VOLK users who use VOLK outside GNU Radio. If you have ideas for VOLK enhancements, let us know.
VOLK Release 2.1.0 Hi everyone, we just released VOLK v2.1.0! we would like to announce that Michael Dickens and Johannes Demel are the new VOLK maintainers. We want to review and merge PRs in a timely manner as well as commenting on issues in order to resolve them. We want to thank all contributors.
Just as the year closes, it’s time to remind people that two fantastic events are going to take place at the end of January / the beginning of February: FOSDEM 2020 FOSDEM is the Free- and Open Source conference in Europe! GNU Radio has had a strong presence there for the last few years, and 2020 will be no different.
It’s that time of the year when the open-source, software defined radio (SDR) community gathers for the annual GNU Radio Conference, or GRCon, for short. The ninth installment of this premier industry event is taking place September 16–20 in Huntsville, Alabama, at the Huntsville Marriot at the Space & Rocket Center, and NI is proud to serve as diamond sponsor along with its brand, Ettus Research.
