- Added default C4FM callsign for DMR calls. This callsign is used to
start a DMR call to a C4FM network until no talker alias is coming from

alias can be turned off by checking the 'Send no in-band data to
network' option on the Settings page.

openSPOT's flash memory, but most of them are played from a remote
spk server. The server's source code is available on Github at
https://github.com/sharkrf/spk-srv
You can query the active connector info:
- DMR: call the 'Connector query DMR ID' with a PTT press
(by default it's ID is 9998).
- C4FM: DTMF code *D
- D-STAR: call ' I' (7 spaces and an I)
- Added profile change support to connectors.
You can query the active profile number:
- DMR: call the 'Profile query/change base DMR ID' with a PTT
press (by default it's ID is 9000).
- C4FM: DTMF code *A
- D-STAR: call ' P' (7 spaces and an P)
To change the active profile:
- DMR: call the 'Profile query/change base DMR ID' with the new
profile number appended to the base ID. Example: you want
to switch to profile 4, and your query/change base DMR ID
is 9000: you have to call 90004 with a short PTT press.
- C4FM: DTMF code *A4 (*A and the new profile number)
- D-STAR: call ' 4' (7 spaces and the new profile number)
- Added BrandMeister linked talkgroups/reflector info to the status
page.
- Added BrandMeister talkgroup and DMRplus reflector list to
Homebrew quick call.
- Changed Homebrew password field on the web interface to be readable.
- Renamed QTH location fields on the web interface.
- Added advanced missing packet handling to DMRplus dongle connector.
- Server is now remembered when switching between Homebrew and
MMDVM protocol modes.
- Added Homebrew call reroute info to the status page.
- Added backup server option for the Homebrew connector. This backup
server is used when the main server can't be connected in the given
timeout time.
- Added 2 more lock IDs/callsigns, so now 3 can be defined.
- Status page has been restructured.
- Added modifiable DTMF special/private call and group call codes.
- Added quick private/group call 4000 buttons to the web interface.
- Added ETag support to the built-in HTTP server, so from this
version there's no need to manually clear the browser cache as
browsers should be able to decide whether the web interface needs
a full refresh.
- Homebrew MMDVM protocol mode fixes.
- Fixed FCS and YSFReflector no keepalive sent issue.
- Fixes for Chinese radio stuttering and dropouts.
0087: - Added option for transmitting RX confirmation for received C4FM
calls from the modem. This will make the C4FM radio to emit a beep.
0086: - Connectors now reconnect much quicker. Connector switching got
quicker too.
- Sending a group message in UDP/Chinese now always succeeds (group
data calls are unconfirmed).
- Improvements in D-STAR lost packet handling.
- Disabling DMR in-band data sending to modem now does not disable
in-band data sending to the network.
0085: - Added option for removing DMR in-band GPS pos. and talker alias data
from modem stream. Some radios (like the Hytera PD365) doesn't seem
to handle in-band data correctly, so in-band data should be removed
from the stream sent to them.
- Added support for interrupting ongoing calls when doing a quick call.
This is possible because of the new Homebrew protocol command RPTINTR.
Note that this command is only available in the latest Brandmeister
version, so your server may not support it yet.
0084: - Added support for config profiles.
- Added support for exporting and importing profile config files.
- Notice: openSPOT automatically migrates configs from v0030 to v0084
to this version, but if you downgrade, your configuration will be
reset to defaults.
- Added MMDVM protocol mode to the Homebrew connector which can be
used to connect to DMRplus for TS1 and TS2 support. DMRplus dongle
protocol will be removed in a later version as the MMDVM protocol
allows more robust packet loss handling.
- Added quick call feature to the web interface. This currently works
only with the Homebrew connector.
- openSPOT now allows in-call GPS data and talker alias to pass.
- Added support for cross mode talker alias handling.
- Added force talker alias to network option to the web
interface. If it's set, this alias will be sent instead of the DMR
radio's alias to the network. You can also use this if your radio does
not support talker alias sending.
- Now all callsigns are converted to uppercase, as D-STAR servers
reject connections with lowercase callsigns.
- Added option to adjust Homebrew advanced missing packet handling.
This is turned on by default. If you have network connection issues
with high packet loss, advanced missing packet handling gives better
audio recreation of the missing frames.
- Fixed Homebrew data/SMS send.
- Fixed that default DMR ID is not used for unparseable C4FM callsigns.
- Removed spin.js.
0077: - Added support for transmitting CW ID.

SRF-IP-CONN connectors.
- Fix invalid logout.cgi response.

openSPOT will only start transmitting when the RSSI level is below
BCLO level).
- Changed the string 'password' to 'server password' at Homebrew
settings on the web interface.
0072: - Increased max. length of DMR ID on the web interface to be compatible
with Brandmeister's new SSID feature (you can add an SSID from 0 to 99
to your DMR ID, for ex. DMR ID 2161005 and SSID 43, then enter
216100543 as your DMR ID).
- Changed sharkrf.com reflector database domain zone.
- Fixes for adding and deleting custom servers on the web interface.
0071: - Fixed Homebrew connector reroute ID overwrite when auto connect is
enabled.

using the radio.
- Fixed Homebrew packet destination/source ID parse error.
0066: - Added room descriptions to FCS server list.
