What has changed in v0.32 ?
This version of cocoaModem has a new MFSK16 interface. Upper sideband operation has been added to the FM Hellschreiber modes. Escape characters no longer causes cocoaModem to quit.
MFSK16
cocoaModem now has an MFSK interface. (Only MFSK16 for now.)
Upper sideband in Hellschreiber
Feld Hell is sideband independent, but the FM Hell modes
are not.
The FM Hell modulator and demodulator have up to now only
been implemented for lower sideband (AFSK on the Yaesu
FT-1000MP). When used in upper sideband mode, the display
and transmission had their polarities inverted (the text
shows up as reversed video with white/black reversed, and
the other end also copies the transmission as a reversed
image).
The FM Hell modes now obey the sideband menu in the Receive
Config panel. When using upper sideband, text in FM Hell
should now appear as they do in Feld Hell.
Escape characters from the
keyboard
Escape characters that are typed into cocoaModem's
TextViews are now ignored.
All characters that are typed into a text view used to be
passed on to Cocoa's NSTextView class; that had caused an
untrapped Escape key to close the main cocoaModem window.
In turn, that had caused cocoaModem to Quit if the
"Allow main window close button to quit
application" preference is turned on.
The Escape character is no longer passed on to NSTextView.
