This month two releases of FreeDV went out–2.3.0 followed by 2.3.1 a few weeks later. 2.3.1 had some audio quality and other fixes for issues discovered after 2.3.0’s release. In particular, the FreeDV integration on Flex had different audio than the FreeDV application for the same signals, not to mention some issues with Windows audio not reaching FreeDV on some user’s machines.
More importantly, however, is that the code shared between the Flex/KA9Q integrations and freedv-gui has been split out into its own repository, allowing those who want to integrate FreeDV into their own hardware or applications an easier path for doing so. In addition, the Flex and KA9Q integrations were branched off into their own repository, both so that those who want to include FreeDV have a simpler example to follow as well as to allow the integrations to follow a different release cadence from freedv-gui. This should hopefully allow more people to integrate FreeDV more quickly.
Besides bugfixes and the work to split the code into separate repos, a few other features managed to merge post-2.3.1 release:
