Mooneer’s FreeDV Update – July 2024

This month, the FreeDV application got a few updates:

  • The previous work on updating the Voice Keyer feature was finally completed and merged into the repository. This mainly consisted of updating the appearance of the voice keyer file’s name in the Voice Keyer button based on user feedback.
  • wxWidgets inside the Windows and macOS binary builds was updated to version 3.2.5.
  • Adjustment dials for the monitor volume (for both Voice Keyer and standard PTT) were added to their respective right-click menus.
  • Logic to automatically adjust the audio configuration upon detection of missing devices was removed by user request (mainly due to the feature never working properly).

ezDV also got the following updates:

  • The in-progress work on Ethernet support for ezDV was finally merged. This resulted in version 1.1.0 of the firmware being released as well as additional content added to the User’s Guide to document the required hardware modifications.
  • Minor code cleanup of the I2C bus handling due to deprecation of the “legacy” I2C driver by Espressif.
  • Updated the minimum ESP-IDF version to 5.3.
  • Reenabled asynchronous HTTP request handling (previously disabled due to an ESP-IDF bug that is now fixed).
