This patch adds some try except blocks in both the stats collector
and the packets collector calls to registered objects. This can
prevent the rest of APRSD falling down when the collector objects
have a failure of some sort.
this patch adds the new PacketCollector class.
It's a single point for collecting information about
packets sent and recieved from the APRS client.
Basically instead of having the packetlist call the seen list
when we get a packet, we simply call the PacketCollector.rx(),
which in turn calls each registered PacketMonitor class.
This allows us to decouple the packet stats like classses inside
of APRSD. More importantly, it allows extensions to append their
own PacketMonitor class to the chain without modifying ARPSD.
This patch adds support for processing incoming packets that have
the 'new' acks embedded in messages called replyacks as described here:
http://www.aprs.org/aprs11/replyacks.txt
This patch changes the stats Collector object registration
to take a class name instead of an object. This allows the
app to start up and fetch the configuration correctly so that
when objects are created the CONF has the proper values.
This is so singleton objects can assign settings values at
creation time.
If you want a constructor time member to have a
value you have to set it after the stats collector
registration is done because it will only be the default
since the CONF isn't setup at that point yet.
This allows the admin to set the number of packets to store
in the PacketList object for tracking. For apps like IRC,
we need to store lots more packets to detect dupes.
There may be applications where the admin might not want a hard
coded 3 acks sent for every RX'd packet. This patch adds the
ability to change the number of acks sent per RX'd packet.
The default is still 3.
Somehow the hidden div for the webchat interface's
tab notification was removed. this patch adds it back in
so the user knows that they have message(s) for a tab that
isn't selected
