*) Dan Brown, N8YSZ, is our newest developer, added this morning. We're at 15 developers now.
*) Jesse, KF4HZU, submitted a patch to fix numeric overlays for base-91 packets. It's in CVS now. *) An interesting killer-packet bug cropped up this morning that killed two out of the three Xastir instances I had running. The other instance was on a filtered feed and doesn't appear to have received that type of packet, so that instance is at 140 days of continuous run-time and still going. Anyway, the bug happens if you receive a SKY bulletin that has the word "EMERGENCY" in the text. If Xastir doesn't have a decoded position for the station when it starts into it's emergency processing code it tries to throw the packet back through the processing. This is so a single packet w/position can trigger the emergency popups. In this case the packet didn't have any position so Xastir kept throwing it back in for processing again and again. I've disabled this recursion for emergency packets. It'll again take TWO packets to trigger the emergency code unless a previous position for the station is known before the emergency packet comes through. In that last case it'll only require the one packet. -- Curt, WE7U.
