The regex search is now by default case insensitive.
Also update each core plugin to better match the command.
ping plugin can now match on
p
p foo
ping
pIng
Weather plugins can now match on
w
wx
wX
Wx KM6LYW

This patch is the initial conversion of the custom config
and config file yaml format to oslo_config's configuration mechanism.
The resulting config format is now an ini type file.
The default location is ~/.config/aprsd/aprsd.conf
This is a backwards incompatible change. You will have to rebuild
the config file and edit it.
Also any aprsd plugins can now define config options in code and
add an setup.cfg entry_point definition
oslo_config.opts =
foo.conf = foo.conf:list_opts
This patch adds the always enabled HelpPlugin. This plugin
now will respond to the 'help' or 'h' commands that will
automatically build a help string based on the number of
enabled plugins. It will also respond to
help <plugin> with the plugin specific help
This patch refactors how the recieved message processing happens.
We now handle all incoming packets the same. Removed the notification
thread to handle the watchlist packets. This is now done with a
unified plugins architecture that allows different capabilities
via the new plugin structure. All packets sent to us will be
sent through all of the plugins. It's the plugins job to decide what to
do with that packet or ignore it.
Email is no longer a special case for the most part. All email
functions have been migrated to the EmailPlugin, including starting the
EmailThread, which works in the background to check for new emails and
send those to the registered callsign. The EmailPlugin now starts the
EmailThread itself.
All plugins are now build on the new APRSDPluginBase which has a common
set of features. The APRSDPluginBase calls self.setup() upon creation,
which allows all plugins to do whatever they want for initiali startup.
The EmailPlugin uses setup() to start the EmailThread if email is
enabled.
This patch adds a new optional feature called Watch list.
Aprsd will filter IN all aprs packets from a list of callsigns.
APRSD will keep track of the last time a callsign has been seen.
When the configured timeout value has been reached, the next time
a callsign is seen, APRSD will send the next packet from that callsign
through the new notification plugins list.
The new BaseNotifyPlugin is the default core APRSD notify based plugin.
When it gets a packet it will construct a reply message to be sent
to the configured alert callsign to alert them that the seen callsign
is now on the APRS network.
This basically acts as a notification that your watched callsign list is
available on APRS.
The new configuration options:
aprsd:
watch_list:
# The callsign to send a message to once a watch list callsign
# is now seen on APRS-IS
alert_callsign: NOCALL
# The time in seconds to wait for notification.
# The default is 12 hours.
alert_time_seconds: 43200
# The list of callsigns to watch for
callsigns:
- WB4BOR
- KFART
# Enable/disable this feature
enabled: false
# The list of notify based plugins to load for
# processing a new seen packet from a callsign.
enabled_plugins:
- aprsd.plugins.notify.BaseNotifyPlugin
This patch also adds a new section in the Admin UI for showing the
watch list and the age of the last seen packet for each callsing since
APRSD startup.
This patch reorganizes the config file layout and options
to make more logical sense as well as make it more readable.
This breaks backwards compatibility.
This patch adds the openweathermap weather plugin.
Also adds a new config option to set the overall
units setting from imperial (default) to metric.
to change it add the following to the ~/.config/aprsd/aprsd.yaml
...
aprsd:
units: metric
This patch adds a new CLI app called aprsd-dev. arpsd-dev is
used specifically for developing plugins. It allows you to run a
plugin directly without the need to run aprsd server.
This patch also adds the Weather Metar plugin called WxPlugin.
You can use it to fetch METAR from the nearest station for a callsign
or from a known METAR station id. Call WxPlugin with a message of
'wx' for closest metar station or 'wx KAUN' for metar at KAUN wx station
This patch adds the new required aprs.fi api key. This key is used
by 2 of the core plugins, locationPlugin and weatherPlugin.
You must set the apiKey in the config, or aprsd won't start.
This patch moves all of the plugins out of plugin.py
into their own separate plugins/<plugin>.py file. This
makes it easier to maintain each plugin.
NOTE: You will have to update your ~/.config/aprsd/aprsd.yml
to change the python location path for each plugin enabled.
For example:
OLD:
enabled_plugins:
- aprsd.plugin.EmailPlugin
TO NEW
enabled_plugins:
- aprsd.plugins.email.EmailPlugin
