Releases: ryanvolz/radioconda
2024.05.29
This release contains the usual round of package version updates (sadly no new packages for this one), plus a major Windows fix that prevented Qt GUI elements from running in GNU Radio.
Updated software radio packages:
- digital_rf 2.6.9
- gnuradio 3.10.10.0
- gqrx 2.17.5
- hackrf 2024.02.1
- libm2k 0.8.0
- soapysdr-module-plutosdr 0.2.2
Other updated packages:
- ipython 8.24.0
- matplotlib 3.8.4
- numpy 1.26.4
- pandas 2.2.2
- python 3.11.9
- scipy 1.13.1
Fixes:
- Fixed "ImportError: DLL load failed while importing qtgui_python" (#78). A bug in PyQt caused non-radioconda libraries to be loaded in certain circumstances, causing the error and failure to load Qt graphical components. A workaround has been implemented while a proper fix to PyQt is considered.
- Fixed "gqrx doesn't launch from menu shortcut on Windows" (#89). A change in conda menu installation caused the gqrx shortcut to not work, and this has now been fixed by updating the shortcut.
2024.01.26
It's been a few months, so time for a new release! There's not as much happening with this one, with the highlights being updates to GNU Radio 3.10.9.2 and UHD 4.6.
New packages:
- ephem 4.1.5
Updated software radio packages:
- gnuradio 3.10.9.2
- gnuradio-satellites 5.5.0
- uhd 4.6.0.0
Other updated packages:
- ipython 8.20.0
- matplotlib 3.8.2
- numpy 1.26.3
- pandas 2.2.0
- python 3.11.7 (3.10.13 for linux-aarch64 and osx-arm64)
- scipy 1.12.0
2023.11.06
Lots of updates and a few new packages with this release! On the updates side, highlights include GNU Radio 3.10.8.0 and the latest versions of a number of SDR libraries (libiio, limesuite, rtl-sdr, and uhd). In particular, the rtl-sdr update brings support for the RTL-SDR Blog V4 dongle!
For newly-included packages, we have:
- GNSS-SDR A software-defined receiver for global navigation satellite system signals
- gr-iqbal A GNU Radio I/Q balancing module
- Hamlib A library for controlling the myriad of radios and rotators available to amateur radio and communications users
- libmirisdr-4 Support for Mirics MSi001 + MSi2500 SDR devices
- pyfda A Python filter design and analysis tool
Finally, this release also includes an important update to conda. With this latest release, conda defaults to using its new libmamba solver, resulting in much faster performance for installing and updating packages. The mamba package (from which libmamba was born) is still included, but it should no longer be necessary to use mamba to get better performance over plain conda.
Oh, and Python 3.11 is included now as well, updated from Python 3.10!

2023.02.24
Package updates have been coming in steadily, so it's time for another release!

The notable features of this release include various package version updates (GNU Radio 3.10.4!) and an imporant fix to the cairo package for a crash on macOS seen when using GTK3 programs (like GNU Radio Companion). If you're a macOS user, I highly recommend upgrading and reporting any other bugs you might encounter!
Late addition! This release also includes installers for 3 new platforms: osx-arm64, linux-aarch64, and linux-ppc64le. These packages have existed on conda-forge for a little while, but now there are finally installers. Testing is light on these platforms, so please report any issues.

This release brings GNU Radio 3.10 to the mainline, along with a few new packages and notably including bladeRF device support! Also of note is that the Windows installer now includes Python 3.10, which sadly means that Windows 7 is no longer supported by the installer. (You can still install miniconda/mambaforge and get the same packages through the conda-forge channel!)
