We are pleased to announce the release of wfview v2.01
Further to the release of v2.00 of wfview 2 days ago, a number of issues have been discovered, so we have decided to make a new release which should address these issues.
Updated the windows (server) and MacBook (client). When I click on about on the Windows application it still shows version 2.00 and still no PTT on the client.
Hi Phil,
just installed the V2.01 on both a windows 10 machine and a Raspberry4 running bookworm. Was flawless. However one thing to mention. As I wrote earlier, I need the virtual serial ports to run FLDigi with hamlib/rigcat to be able to send CW in CW mode (and not USB-D) with my IC7300. On the Raspberry, there was V1.64 installed and a virtual port was configured (/home/pi/rig-pty1), the same also in FLDigi 4.2.06. After the Upgrade I did not change my FLDigi config. I went through WFView’s mandatory short setup process and then tried to configure the virtual serial port. I could not find the list as it was in V1.64, so I choose only “Manual”. To my big surpise, after starting FLDigi, everything worked as expected.
Until I shutted down WFView and Fldigi. After that only, the FLdigi hamlib config (localhost:4533) works. Rigcat doesn’t. A reboot does not help. Weird…
Another thing, which gives me a headache, the sound on the client (now also V2.01) does not work (on Bullseye it was working with both version).
What is interesting, is that now I hear my voice taken from the PCs Mike in the PCs speaker, when the WFView client has been started. I did not see this beviour before. Do not get me wrong, I expect here a problem with Bookworm, not with WFView, just do not know how to proceed.
Just installed the new 2.01 release by installing it over the wfview program directory and found the the release has 1.94 7300 rig drivers. As expected, it has none of the corrected parameters. The 7610 driver is also a 1.94 release. Probably the rest are but did not check. About reports 2.00 as you indicated it would.
You are quite correct there Don. I can see what happened, the build ran but my process to copy the new build over failed. I will replace the files now.
Hi Terry, as you “correctly” noticed, the download was the wrong file, so sorry about that, please re-download.
On the plus side, in the intervening few hours I may have come-up with a solution to the PTT issue and “snook” that in
You will need to update both client and server for it to work. btw. It was only the Windows download that was affected, the original MacOS one should be OK.
Updated both server and client with no joy. Now I am unable to even get the radio to transmit from the server instance and the TX button seems to be unresponsive.
Thanks for the renew and update for the WFVIEW.
I want to ask that IF i can install the 2.01 and 1.64 on the same time.
Because i run the 1.64 very well,and i want to try the new one, but i afraid i can not play the new one,so i want to keep the 1.64 as well.
That’s strange. One thing I have realised, as you are using a Mac for the client, can you copy the IC-718.rig file from the Windows version (in the rigs directory) to the rigs directory of the Mac binary, as the Windows version has a slightly newer version?
OK I think that I know what the problem is. the rig handler code doesn’t know that you want to use RTS. To test this theory, on the server computer, while connected to the rig, try unchecking Use RTS and then check it again, this should signal the rig handler that RTS is required.
Hopefully this workaround will be sufficient until we release a new version in the coming weeks.
