OpenRepeater Version History

2.1.3
  • 2 years ago Update Upgraded kernel to version 5.10.17. This is to add support the Pi 4 8GB model as well as other newer board variants.
  • 2 years ago Update Built with SVXLink release 19.09.1 instead of 17.12.2 used in 2.1.2
  • 2 years ago Add Image partition size has been shrunk down leading to a smaller IMG file size. Should work on cards as small as 4GB, but 8GB is still recommended for headroom.
  • 2 years ago Add Auto expand on first boot, like that which is native in the stock Raspberry Pi OS, has been added back into the IMG via new workflow script. When booting for the first time the filesystem will expend to fill the entire card.
  • 2 years ago Fixed Patches to ALSA settings for ICS Controller boards that use the STL5000 audio codec. New kernel was causing the output to be muted by default.
2.1.2
  • 4 years ago Update Built with SVXLink release 17.12.2
  • 4 years ago Update Added Support for Raspberry Pi 4: Image is now based on Raspbian Lite Buster (v 10)
  • 4 years ago Update Updates to dashboard AJAX to improve load times and login times in some setups.
  • 4 years ago Update Update PHP version to 7.3
  • 4 years ago Update Change Memcache to Memcached
  • 4 years ago Update Updates to board presets values to compensate for shift in GPIO values for expander chipset used by ICS controllers affected by change to Buster OS.
  • 4 years ago Update Miscellaneous PHP fixes/updates for PHP 7.3 compatibility.
2.1.1
  • 4 years ago Fixed Bug Fix. Rolled back Raspbian updates that were causing unknown issues with ethernet connection.
  • 4 years ago Add Added custom message of the day (motd) text to shell/ssh login.
2.1.0
  • 4 years ago Add Add new backup & restore feature. Allows backup of UI settings, custom audio files, and alsa settings into a special backup file (.orp). Files can be kept locally on controller as 'snapshots' or downloaded for archiving or transfer to another controller setup.
  • 4 years ago Add Add a simplex mode option. This feature adds a dropdown at the top of the interfaces tab. In addition to the standard 1 repeater port + additional simplex links, the dropdown also has a “simplex node” selection. This feature is useful for creating a single radio simplex EchoLink node.
  • 4 years ago Update Major updates to module framework. ORP comes with a few standard “core” modules, but the ability has now been added to upload and install custom ORP modules developed for the OpenRepeater system.
  • 4 years ago Update Add an autoloader class to PHP files to autoload required PHP classes and simplify future class inclusions.
  • 4 years ago Fixed Reorder redundant GPIO setup/teardown calls in PHP code causing issues in some cases. Added fix to SVXLink GPIO service that also cased issues in other cases.
  • 4 years ago Fixed Add additional logic for disabling IDs to php class.
  • 4 years ago Fixed Fix for erroneous IDs that did not match ID settings in UI. These were another type of ID not associated with the long and short ID settings. They are a bug in the current release of SVXLink at the time. We added a patch to our build script to correct this in the interim.
  • 4 years ago Removed ORP Remote Relay module from default installation. This is now available as add-on module and must be downloaded and installed separately.
  • 4 years ago Removed Removed 'pi' user for security. Added function to build script to handle this task.
  • 4 years ago Add Add new database class for interfacing with database.
  • 4 years ago Fixed Bug fix for missing details on Advanced Details popup on Interface page.
  • 4 years ago Update Updates and bug fixes to the setup wizard.
  • 4 years ago Fixed Various other minor fixes and improvements.
