Bugfixes, log verbosity, and datacast API preview
This release includes:
- Small bugfixes for the TCP packetserver, and tidied up includes.
- Tweaks to the internal clock code to make the generated packet stream run closer to the system clock time.
- The verbosity of log output is now controlled by the
--debug <level>
argument. This takes a value between 0 (none) and 5 (verbose debug message). - Added Nemetext to available services.
This release also contains an experimental preview of a databroadcasting server, which can be enabled with the new --datacast <port>
argument. The API currently supports inserting IDL format A or raw packet data on datachannels 1-15, but is subject to change before release.
A new datacast_lines
parameter in vbit.conf
sets how many lines per field are dedicated to datacast packet output. If this is absent or set to zero, datacast lines will replace filler packets within the main service instead.
