Apache Labs Community Forum

I downloaded The latest final release from GitHub and the new flash screen of Thetis looks amazing.
I wonder if the announcement is not here in this forum, or if if there is something wrong with me as I am unable to see it.

There is nothing wrong with you. Even though the Anan radios use Thetis, it is something developed by volunteer developers not employees of Apache Labs. And they are not obligated to share their work. That they do is a good thing.
I suspect, without any actual proof, that updates may not always be posted on this website as it has in the past. The links to the Github repository in Ritchie's previous announcements for Thetis are still valid. So, it would be a good idea to check the repository every once in a while to see if there is something new that might be of interest to you.
If you are interested in helping with the development of Thetis, even if it is testing new software, check out the Discord link in Richie's signature line as well. If you get an invitation to join in testing, and you are able to provide feedback,that would help everyone.

Actually, 2.10.3.7 was announced in the 2.10.3.6 thread. ....Erik.

Look again, that announcement was for v2.10.3.6 not v2.10.3.7 which was released on Discord and Github just a few days ago.

I need to modify my statement slightly. What was announced in the v2.10.3.6 thread was a release candidate for v2.10.3.7. Not the final release that was posted on Discord a few days ago.
There are additional things that made it into the final release that may not have been there or needed additional work before the final release was announced there.

What I am talking about a final release and not a release candidate. I am using it and its not a RC.

Read carefully, it is not an announcement of the final release.

[quote="ramdor"]This issue is addressed in version 2.10.3.7, which is currently undergoing testing on my Discord server. You can join the server and become a tester to gain access. The Discord server link is available in my signature below. The release date is currently unknown. Here's the changelog so far from version 2.10.3.6:

- [add] manuals added to about box links/manuals
- [add] new auto attenuate TX when PS is off options in Setup->Ant/Filters->Antenna

- [add] added command line option, -noinstancewarn so that no warning is shown if other instances are running. Use -help in a console window to get more info

- mouse wheel/click left-right when a number glows (10 steps default, ctrl single steps)
- drag filter edges in tx + rx
- drag top filter to shift in rx

- can add notches with the [+mnf] button, and turn the mnf system with the [mnf] button, ctrl-rightclick to add one at the mouse
- drag notches
- right click notch to show popup for that notch
- mouse wheel over a notch to adjust width

Bhanu,

To be clear, there has been no formal announcement of Thetis 2.10.3.7 Final Release in this forum, even though that version is available for download from Github.
