More Decoders

This release introduces the ability to install not one but your choice of two VDL Mode 2 decoders. Choose between either VDLM2DEC or dumpvdl2 to handle VDL Mode 2 decoding. Readsb is now offered in addition to dump1090-fa as ADS-B decoder options. As far as extras are concerned, the option to install both Graphs1090 as well as tar1090 have been added to the extras menu. Additional changes include new dialogs for choosing decoders, PiAware on Noble fixes, and further script cleanup.

ADS-B Receiver Project v2.8.6 ✈️

ACARS Added

This release introduces the ability to install ACARSDEC along with ACARSSERV in order to receive and retain ACARS data over the air. A basic ACARS message page has been added to the existing portal as well. This release was rushed out the door sooner than anticipated due to an issue found during testing having to do with the check_package function and logging. Logging apt output from check_packages has been disabled until a proper fix can be put in place.

This is a re-release of v 2.8.6 which includes fixes submitted by @RensHijdra after the initial release was made available yesterday.

v2.8.5

Debian Trixie and Ubuntu Noble support has been added using an as of this time an unofficial fix to the piaware_builder source code. I have submitted a pull request containing the fixes to the main piaware_builder repository but it has not gone through the approval process yet. Until this or another fix is approved, I modified the scripts to use my fork of piaware_builder when Trixie or Noble is detected. All other supported distributions use the official piaware_builder repository. Although tested, the use of PiAware on Trixie or Noble based distributions should be considered "use at your own risk" until the official repository adds support for them.

A working version of the previously removed logging functionality has been readded. Each time the scripts are ran a dated log file is generated within the ~/adsb-receiver/logs directory. These logs can be used to help troubleshoot issues which may have been encountered or used as reference to view exactly what the scripts have done. By default, logging is turned on but can be disabled with the use the --no-logging of -n switches when executing install.sh.

Other changes include an updated dump1090-fa installation process which mimics the instructions found in the official FlightAware dump1090 README and the ability to change text colors used by the install scripts via variables located in the ~/adsb-receiver/bash/variables.sh file. There has also been extensive work done to bring the scripts to current bash scripting standards.

ADS-B Receiver Project v2.8.4 ✈️

The bird may be matured now.

This release focuses on issues found while testing the advanced portal features. It also includes the completion of previous unfinished additions as well as rewrites to the scripts responsible for adding and maintaining historical data locally on the receiver. Added was the ability to install the airplanes.live feeder client as well as images supplied by planespotters.net to the portal's plots page.

ADS-B Receiver Project v2.8.3 ✈️

Better quality of life for developers.

This release includes the addition of a Fly Italy ADS-B feeder installation option as well as a handful of additional bug fixes and script cleanup and optimizations. A major fix which may affect those wishing to contribute to the project was a fix to the repository update process where since its introduction back in the day did not fully work as planned. The install scripts now ensure that the master branch is updated then utilized when executed. It should be noted that any changes made in the branch from which install.sh is executed are stashed before making the change to master. In order to overcome this action while developing in your own branch the --development switch is now respected skipping the change to the master branch as well as any updates said branch contained in origin. For those wishing to test bleeding edge changes the --branch option is now respected as well allowing the user to specify the branch which is used.

ADS-B Receiver Project v2.8.2 ✈️

Light at the end of the tunnel.

With this release I am hoping to have thing back in working order once more. I was able to test things on the hardware I have available to me at the moment and things look to be running smoothly as far as I can see. As with the previous v2.8.x releases there will not be an image released for this version as I await feedback from the community. In the meantime I plan to add a few more feeder options as well as address any lingering issues which may be found in this release as they are reported. If things go well v2.9.0 will be next up which will include a Raspberry Pi OS lite image for those awaiting this option.

Growing pains.

This release contains fixes to a few serious issues with the v2.8.0 release.

There will not be an image released for this version due to the fact there is still a handful of issues with the portal which need to be addressed most of which are somewhat minor. An image will be released in a follow up minor version once things are sorted out.

ADS-B Receiver Project v2.8.0 ✈️

A phoenix beginning to arise from the ashes.

For this release every install script has been updated to ensure the installation options work with the latest software available. A few options were also removed due to the fact the code bases they supported were abandoned or are no longer maintained by the developer responsible for said project since the previous release.

There will not be an image released for this version due to the fact there is still a handful of issues with the portal which need to be addressed most of which are somewhat minor. An image will be released in a follow up minor version once things are sorted out.

ADS-B Receiver Project v2.6.3 ✈️

I apparently did not see the SQLite last time...

The following images were created using Raspbian Stretch Lite version April 2018 and includes all available updates as of June 23rd, 2018. The images comes with either dump1090-mutability or dump1090-fa and PiAware preinstalled and ready to install the ADS-B Receiver Project Portal. More features can be added by executing the file install.sh after configuring your chosen version of dump1090 and the portal.

Note that SSH is enabled by default on both of the images.

This is a bug fix release once again too long in the making... Those setting up new receivers running advanced portal features using SQLite should be delighted in the fact the installation now works! There are a few other bug fixes included as well as updated third party software and newer OS compatibility included.
