Changelog

Note

This project adheres to Semantic Versioning and the format is based on Keep a Changelog.

Unreleased

Added

• Created a setting panel for the audio player
• Selection of the audio output device. Close #4

Fixed

• Fixed margins for downloader window

4.0.5 - 2024-06-15

Added

• Possibility to navigate Artemis just with the keyboard #50
• Windows: automatic updates have been implemented. When a software update is available, Artemis will download the new version and install the updates automatically
• Multiple sigID databases can be conserved. In the case of autoload, the latest local version will be loaded
• Added creation date and DB version in DB manager window

Changed

• Improved readability of labels for filter ranges for frequency, bandwidth, and ACF
• Improved Update manager and Downloader functionalities
• OS-dependent temporary folders are now used for database download and Artemis updates
• The logic for searching the last sigID database has changed now the discriminant is no longer the folder name but is reported as a signature in the database itself (-1 in the editable field; see documentation)
• Old sigID databases are not deleted anymore when a new version is downloaded. This is to avoid removing databases with user changes or additions

Fixed

• Added a database load check to avoid (noncritical) exceptions when applying filters without having loaded a database.
• Fixed a potential issue involving the forcible closure of the downloader window, but the downloader instance keeps running
• With the new logic in the latest sigID database search, manually imported sigID databases are officially recognized as proper ones

4.0.3 - 2024-06-10

Changed

• Optimized final package size (reduced by 30% to 50%) by explicitly including necessary plugins/DLLs and excluding unnecessary ones with Nuitka #47

Fixed

• When the links/urls in the description field of a signal are clicked, they open the default browser #46
• Fixed an error occurig on Linux where configuration file path are not properly resolved during startup with the binary version of the program (they are if running from source) #48

4.0.1 - 2024-06-9

Added

• Database format has been changed from .csv to a proper relational DB (sqlite) which is much easier handled thanks to the native library shipped with python
• Possibility to create an arbitrary number of new databases for storing new custom signals
• Every signal allows an arbitrary number of parameters
• All signal parameters (such as frequency, modulation, location, etc.) are now followed by a description
• Databases can be exported/imported for easy sharing
• Possibility to store and view all type of documents related to a signal entry
• Filtration process is now much more efficient due to usage of SQL queries
• D-Region Absorption Predictions (DRAP) and Aurora OVATION model are now present in the Space Weather window

Changed

• Updated GUI libray from PyQt5 to PySide6. Artemis 4 now relies on the QtQuick framework.
• SigID standard database is now hosted on GitHub (the server is much faster) along with the website parser
• Undefined value for frequency and bandwidth is now deprecated
• Drastically reduced the number of third party libraries
• The signals filtering page has been simplified to be more immediate and user friendly
• Space weather page has been greatly improved and now relies on Poseidon daemon (hosted on aresvalley.com)

Fixed

• Artemis can be execunted inside standard pretected folder (such as Program Files) without using elevated privileges

3.2.4 - 2022-09-30

Fixed

• Fixed crash on opening the Rx/Tx Condition tab

3.2.3 - 2022-09-29

Added

• Add auto-packaging feature using GitHub actions for Windows OS (experimental)

Fixed

• Fix crash for playing audio (#34)

3.2.2 - 2022-07-29

Fixed

• Fixed crash on startup or if checking for updates without an internet connection (#23)
• Updated dependencies for security reasons (urllib3) and to address the main application failure to launch under certain conditions.

3.2.1 - 2020-04-25

Added

• Add some basic logging to the application. Also for severe errors, track them in info.log file in local folder.
• Add Raspberry PI support (#18, #20)

Fixed

• Support new JSON format for some forecast data (#21).
• Fixed categorization for very low x-ray flux according to NOAA format.
• Remove the exclusive parameter in a PyQt function (#16).

3.2.0 - 2019-12-14

Added

• The default font can be changed (#14).
• Move Themes into Settings.
• Better settings management in settings.json.

Fixed

• Fix a bug in the space weather. An inactive k-index caused a crash.

3.1.0 - 2019-10-21

Added

• Automatic updates. From this version Artemis can update itself if a new version is available. Works only when running the executable version (disabled when running from source). The feature is partially unavailable for Mac, you can only download the new version.
• The software version displayed has now a .Dev appended when running from script (e.g. 3.1.0.Dev) to differentiate from an actual binary executable. The .Dev thus implies that the running version of the software could not correspond to a particular release.
• The *.spec files can be executed without copying the source code into their folder.
• Add a link to the GitHub repository in the action bar.
• Add support for signals with multiple-value acf (#9). This partially breaks the backward compatibility because the database changed structure.

Fixed

• Adding the Artemis folder to PATH as the expected behaviour. Prior to this fix, Artemis could not find the Data and themes folders if started from outside the Artemis folder.
• The audio buttons are of the same dimension also for high resolution screens (#13)
• An audio sample can be paused and a different one can be played without a program crash (#12)

3.0.1 - 2019-8-1

Added

• The audio player has now a loop button (#3).
• The project has now a Changelog file.

Fixed

• Added SSL certificates for all downloads. Avoid a crash of the program for certain systems (#6).
• Start the application in maximized mode. The label in the propagation data are well displayed (#7).
• Compile the executable for Linux on an older version to avoid GLIBC compatibilities issues (#8).

3.0.0 - 2019-07-23

First release.
