This release brings the following updates:

  • Decoders: iMet-1 & 4 XDATA extraction support - Thanks @rs1729 !
  • Decoders: Detection of iMet-1 vs iMet-4 sondes, based on frame rate vs time increment.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to issues with auto_Rx versions <=1.5.8 poorly handling iMet-1 sonde telemetry, it is extremely important that stations within range of iMet-1/4 sondes update ASAP. Uploading of iMet telemetry from any version of auto_rx below 1.5.9 into SondeHub will be blocked shortly.

There are no configuration file changes in this release.

Note: We are aware that new installations may display the following message on startup:

The WebSocket transport is not available, you must install a WebSocket server that is compatible with your async mode to enable it. See the documentation for details. (further occurrences of this error will be logged with level INFO)

This can be safely ignored. The web interface should still continue to work as usual. Eventually we will figure out how to suppress it...

The pre-built Docker Image is now the recommended way to setup radiosonde_auto_rx on a new station. Using Docker avoids issues with updates to dependencies, and allows for fixes relating to system packages to be easily pushed out to users.

Please report any problems encountered either on the mailing list, or by raising an issue on this repository.
