- Update to version 1.8.0
* Support for ATN-B2 Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Contract
(ADS-C) version 2.
* Support for automatic reassembly of multiblock ACARS messages,
MIAM file transfers and fragmented X.25 packets. Contents of
reassembled messages is now logged in one piece and passed
upwards to decoders of higher layer protocols / applications.
Thanks to this, many large messages which so far were decoded
partially and logged with "Unparseable ... PDU" errors due to
fragmentation, are now decoded correctly.
* StatsD metrics for monitoring reassembly engine performance
have been added.
* Logged messages may be enriched with ground stations details
read from a text file in MultiPSK GS format. Look up --gs-file
and --addrinfo options in README.md and dumpvdl2 usage text for
more details.
* Logged messages may be enriched with aircraft details read from
a Basestation SQLite database. SQLite3 library must be installed
prior to compiling dumpvdl2 in order for this feature to be
enabled. Look up --bs-db and --addrinfo options in README.md and
dumpvdl2 usage text for more details. Database entries are
cached in memory. There are new StatsD metrics for monitoring
performance and utilization of the cache.
* New --prettify-xml option enables pretty-printing of XML
documents carried in ACARS and MIAM CORE messages. The purpose
is to improve readability. If enabled, XML content will be
printed as multiline text with proper indentation. This
requires libacars built with libxml2 support.
* ACARS sublabel and MFI fields are now stripped from message text
and logged as separate fields (if present).
