What's Changed

  • All previous versions of aprs-weather-submit had a bug that didn't allow users to create packets that reported 100% relative humidity. Due to a bug in the code, users could only report humidity values from 1% (the minimum, per the APRS specification) to 99%. Thank you to Jeff, N9CQS for the bug report!
  • I've made some minor changes on the backend to better support being packaged for Debian-based Linux distributions.
  • Update README.md by @ploeffler in #11

New Contributors

  • Jeffrey McPike, N9CQS emailed me about this humidity bug. Thank you for the report!
  • @ploeffler made their first contribution in #11

Full Changelog: v1.7.1...v1.7.2

Download and Install

This app is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and even DOS for some reason! Scroll down for platform-specific instructions.

Windows

Download aprs-weather-submit-<arch>.exe for your architecture. The binaries are digitally signed.

System requirements: Windows Vista or newer, and an Intel-compatible processor. (For Windows XP and older, use the DOS build. Windows on ARM users will need to run this under emulation until I figure out how to compile for that platform -- hit me up if you know!)

macOS

Download aprs-weather-submit.dmg. While the app and installer are digitally signed, macOS may warn you that it's from an untrusted developer because it's not notarized. That's normal.

System requirements: A Mac with a PowerPC, Intel, or Apple Silicon processor; and macOS 10.0 or newer.

Linux

If you are using a Debian-based distribution, add the official aprs-weather-submit PPA to your system.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:signofzeta/aprs-weather-submit
sudo apt install aprs-weather-submit

If you don't want to add the repository, download the appropriate .deb file below. (Don't worry about the "Ubuntu" in the filenames. It'll work on any Debian-based distribution.) Then:

sudo dpkg -i <filename>.deb

All other Linux distributions will need to compile the source code. Download it, and then:

# Install the build tools if they're missing.  This one line may vary based on your distribution.
sudo apt install build-essential automake

# Download and extract the source code.
tar xzf v1.7.2.tar.gz
cd v1.7.2

# Build it.
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install

System requirements: Linux. Whatever you have, it'll work somehow.

DOS

Download APRSWX.EXE. MS-DOS, FreeDOS, and others have no concept of code signing, but you can use the GPG signature to verify its authenticity. APRS-IS is not supported on this build.

System requirements: a PC-compatible with an Intel 8086 or newer processor.
