Version 0.9.774F
31 October 2017
SARTrack:
- Intermediate Update: Still working on an important Update, but the 2-month expiry has arrived....
SAR Only:
- Fix: Log entries during new Operation Period corrected.
- Change: In Team Setup and team Status windows, the way to show/hide Tabs has been improved.
-
GPS Import: This will now allow you to immediately rename the NAME of
the Track you are importing. So instead of ending up with a name like
"CURRENT TRACK" you can now change this to sometjing like "Team1-
Trk_1" before importing it. It will then immediately appear on the Map
and Object lists under the right name. Just single-click on the name in
the list, and edit it.
- Some other minor changes.
Version 0.9.774E
1 October 2017
SARTrack (SAR Only):
-
Important fix: When Printing paper Forms, in rare situations the
program would get into a loop and crash. Also improved multi-line text
copied from external sources, these will now properly print with
line-feeds.
Version 0.9.774C
6 September 2017
-
Fix: When editing People, a function which is intended to clear any
spaces from the Mobile Phone number, accidentally removed the last
digit of the mobile phone number of the person. This number is used by
the SMS system. Please check if the mobile phone numbers of the people
are still correct. If you have a recent backup (export) of the People
database you could consider to recover that way. Or export the existing
People file, edit it in Excel, then re-import the file. Sorry for the
inconvenience.
- New: A new system has been installed to deal with the SMS credits.
- Fix: Team Status window would duplicate Log entries (display only) when switching Tabs.
Version 0.9.774A
1 September 2017
SARTrack & SARTrackServer:
- Bugfix: During a failed Login, the Login window did not re-appear for the user to change the password, and the connection kept looping.
Version 0.9.774
30 August 2017
MAJOR UPDATE:
SARTrack:
-
Fix: Export to GPX file (Tracks and Waypoints): List of Tracks and
Waypoints was duplicated every time the Export window was re-opened.
- Installed updated OpenSSL DLL files.
-
New: The OSM (OpenStreetMap) directory tree, which is by default
located in the ..\Documents\SARTrack\OSMMAPS\ directory can now be
changed to another location in Setup>Map. If an existing OSMMAPS
directory exists, its contents must manually moved to the new location,
after the setting change.
- Fix: Intermittent problem when adding Objects onto the Map, they did not always appear where clicked, is now fixed.
- New: Improved way of displaying Tracks on the Map. There are 2 TrackTypes:
1) Track with adjustable width, and Waypoints dots slightly larger but same color.
2) Track with Track with adjustable width, and Waypoint dots same width as Track, but inverted color.
The Width of the tracks can now be changed for both type of tracks.
It
is now also possible to select different tracks display for normal APRS
and Radio tracks, and for use with _Imported_ GPS tracks. This because
imported GPS often have thousands of waypoints, and require a much
smaller tracks and waypoint size compared with normal tracks.
All this can be changed in Setup>Maps1>Tracking.
- Fix: When importing GPS Tracks, the automatic color generating of the separate Tracks did not work.
- Fix: When importing GPS Waypoints without a Time, an error occurred. Now defaults to current time.
- Fix: When importing GPS Waypoints, the Tactical name was not set to the 'name' field, but to the 'desc' field.
-
Changed: The Stations window and Objects window has been rewritten to
allow for unlimited Stations / Objects without performance problems.
That is, you can now load thousands of Stations or Objects, and the
window will respond without any delay.
- Fix: ICOM commercial radio decoding: Fixed double prefix in Objectname, fixed generation of empty Object.
- Fix: Motorola MOTOTRBO radios position reporting Interval would behave inconsistent, this is now hopefully fixed.
SARTrack (SAR Only):
-
NEW: End-to-End Encrypted Internet connection to Database Server. Read
http://www.sartrack.nl/encryption.html for IMPORTANT details on this
new feature.
- SARTrack no longer saves local copies of some SAR
Databases to disk, when in SAR/Database mode. It also does no longer
save an 'backup' text file with all Log entries. All SAR related
database files are now only kept on the Database Servers, and the
SARTrack Clients will not retain any data relating to Operations. This
is part of the new enhanced security system.
- New: In the 'Team
Setup' window, right-clicking on a Person, select 'Show Information'
will now show all Capabilities of the person in detail.
- Fix:
LKP/PLS system: When adding a LKP/PLS circle system from the Missing
Person page, and the 'Dispersion Angle' was used, the Missing Person's
LKP/PLS data where not updated.
- In the Operation Period form, the Hazard>Comment field was not populated on the screen.
-
LKP/PLS Circle system: The 'Travel Ring' based on walking speed and the
Mobility Hours for the Missing Person, will now stay on the Map when
the maximum "Mobility Hours" have been reached, instead of the Travel
Ring disappearing at that time.
- Removed: In the Operations Log
window, the "Overview" button has been removed, as the Overview window
was not very useful (and I am running out of space with the buttons).
-
NEW: Operations Log: A new button "Search" has been added. This will
open a new SEARCH LOG window, in which you can search for Log entries,
based on Reference, Summary or full Log information.
- NEW:
Operations Log: A new button "Clues" has been added. This will open the
CLUES window, where you can see all Log entries which are directly
related to Clues.
- New: The Operation Log windows has been upgraded
to the new system, which can deal with nearly unlimited Log Entries,
without performance problems. This also includes the new Log Search,
and Team Status windows.
- New: In the "Log Entry" window, it is now
possible to select a Clue from a list of available Clues, if the Log
Entry is marked as a Clue from the pulldown list. Please see the
updated Manual (v0.9.774) for details on all options in the 'Log Entry'
windows.
- Changed: Operations Log; Radio Operator version: The Log
Entry button in this window will now default to the _Standard_ Log
Entry window. This because there are too many important options in the
standard 'Log Entry' window, which no longer fit in the 'Radio
Operator' version. While the 'Operations Log' window for the Radio
Operator still exists (with a larger font) the 'Log Entry' will now
default to the standard 'Log Entry' window. It can be changed back in
Setup>SAR.
- Coordinates in UTM now pre-loads the Zone and 'CharLat' after the first time use.
- Fix: Improved error reporting during People Import, to show where the problem is.
- Fix: People Equipment box would not export properly when it contained more than one line of text.
-
Fix: Missing Person: When a change was made in the Missing Person form
#2 (but not in form #1) the data would not be saved to the Server.
- New: Operation Period form: Now added a separate "Intel" Person instead of the combined "Planning&Intel" previously.
- Fix: People 'Availability' system: Cleaning up invalid data in the 'Availability' database.
-
Fix: When a Team Location was changed manually in the LogEntry window,
but the Team was made InActive (Hidden) earlier, this will now force
the Team to be re-activated on all Maps.
- New: When adding a 'Clue'
on the map an 'Overlay character' with increasing value will be added
onto the default Clue Icon (a black box) unless overridden by the user.
- Lots of under-the-hood improvements and fixes.
Forms Package:
-
The Forms Package has been updated, and should be downloaded from the
website and installed. (There is no auto-update available for this)
- SARTrack will check the Version of the Forms package from now on, and will notify when it is out-of-date.
DatabaseServer:
-
NEW: End-to-End Encrypted Internet connection and Encrypted storage on
disk. Read http://www.sartrack.nl/encryption.html for IMPORTANT details
on this new feature.
- Fix: Change the way the Local Server
connects/disconnects to an Internet Server: During shutdown, when the
Internet connection is stuck in limbo, the Server would lock up for a
long time before shutting down. Now it will release the broken TCP
connection immediately.
- Installed updated OpenSSL DLL files.
- Fix: People 'Availability' system: Server will clean up invalid data in the 'Availability' database when loading from disk.
Version 0.9.773A
5 August 2017
SARTrack:
- Intermediate Update to fix the SARTrack expiry, not yet ready with the
new Update 0.9.774.
- Installed updated OpenSSL DLL files.
- Updated the Polish language file
- Updated the Dutch language file
Version 0.9.773
6 June 2017
SARTrack (SAR Only):
- Change: TimeLine window: Log entries marked as a "Mistake" do no longer show in the TimeLine's.
- Fix: Internal Server-Reconnect timestamp was not always up-to-date.
-
Fix: Changed Database connection Timeout period, so the Server will
timeout earlier than the Client. This will hopefully fix the problem of
'Duplicate Login' errors after the network connection fails.
DatabaseServer:
- Fix: Sync Database Server timestamp.
**** FORMS Package: Currently
there is no automatic update system for the FORMS package, and there is
also no system build into SARTrack to warn you if it is out-of-date.
Do make sure you have downloaded and installed the latest version, if you use the paper Forms system
I will add a system later which will tell you if the FORMS package is out-of-date.
In the meantime, I always let you know via the mailing list.
Version 0.9.772
16 May 2017
SARTrack:
- Fix: The automatic deleting of old Debug files did not work. From now
on SARTrack will ask if you want to delete these files if there are more
than 30 of them. You can safely say 'Yes'.
- NEW: Tait commercial radios: Added two-way Short Message system.
Tested with TM9300/TP9300 radios in both Digital and Analog mode. Note:
This requires that the TM9300 and TP9300 radios have the _latest_
Firmware upgrade, and use the radio configuration I have developed. Tait
TP9300 programming screenshot can be found at
http://www.sartrack.nl/downloads/Tait-TP9300-program-screenshots.zip .
Please advise me of any problems.
- Icom BIIS based radios: Send and receive Static Messages only. Please
advise me of any problems.
- Fix: Warning (Priority Alarm) window did not clear alarm from Station
trackers.
- Updated Dutch (Netherlands) translation file.
- Updated Italian translation file.
SARTrack (SAR Only):
- Fix: Images attached to an Object or Clue could not be opened afterwards.
- Fix: Object Edit: Button 'Add Image' to Object did not always work.
- Fix: Team Setup: Add image to Task did not work when Task was added
manually.
- Fix: Team Info form would not work when no people in Team.
- Fix: End time was notr set in Current Operation Period after clising
Operation. Also added Log entries for opening and closing Operation periods.
- Fix: People Import would not read .csv files which where not in UTF-8
encoding. Now it will accept any type of encoding.
Database Server:
- Fix: Disabled the Timeout system until all Databases have been
send/received. Previously, when a _very large_ database structure was
SYNC'ed between a Local Database Server and the Internet Database Server
(in Germany) the system could timeout (after 30 seconds) and disconnect in the middle of
the SYNC transaction. Now both the Database Servers and the SARTrack
Client will notify the Server when all data has been received, and only
_then_ the Timeout system will be enabled.
- Removed old "supervisor" login from the Database Users system. If you
need full access to your Database Server, please use the "ServerAdmin"
login.
Version 0.9.770
7 April 2017
SARTrack:
- Fix: Export of APRS Station Tracks to GPX file did not work. (Object Tracks did work)
-
New: Map: The new option 'Show Tracks by Date' has been improved, and
the popup menu (right-click on Map) has been cleaned up. You can now
select a full Date&Time range over which all Tracks will be
rendered, or directly select 'Hide all Tracks' and 'Show all Tracks'.
- Fixed: Tracker Objects: The 'LH' (Last Heard) on the Label did not automatically update.
-
Updated: The Open_Cycle_Maps have moved to another company and now
require a Key. This is now updated in the OSMMaps.ini file. NOTE: This
will override some of your Selections on which Maps you can see in the
MapType Pulldown Menu. Sorry about that. You can fix this in
"Setup>Maps_2".
- NEW: ICOM commercial radios in _BIIS_ mode: I
made some changes and improvements here, and the way the Radio ID is
generated has changed. It will now be the character "I" + the "Common
ID" + the Radio ID. The Common ID *MUST* be manually programmed in the
Icom Connect settings, and must be identical to the Common ID
programmed in all Icom radios. Note: If you are using the 'Permanent'
link between a Icom radio and a TEAM, you must set this up again based
on the new Radio ID's.
The red Emergency button on the BIIS radios will now cause SARTrack to generate an Alarm (on Map, screen and audio).
- New: Map: "Follow On Map" now also works on all non-APRS Trackers (eg all commercial radio trackers as Objects, etc).
SARTrack (SAR Only):
-
People: Import/Export of People will now use a new format, which
includes the GroupID of a person. I recommend that you now add
the correct GroupID to every person, then Export the People database
for backup. The old export file format is still accepted, but
will show a warning. If you manually generate the .csv file,
please insert an extra field just before the "CAPS" field, called
'GroupID'.
- Fixed: After a New Operation was started, the 'Wizard' did not start (when selected).
- Fixed: The Missing Person forms did not work correctly with the various buttons.
- New: The Search urgency form now allows you to make changes and calculate the Urgency, without being in Edit mode first.
-
New: It is now possible to add Attachments (Images, Documents) to an
Object on the Map. For example, a 'Clue' can now have one or more
pictures attached to it.
- Fixed: When a Tracker Object (Radio
Trackers) was edited by another Station, it was no longer possible to
use the 'Request Position' system.
- New: Team Setup: You can now
set up and save a Team without any Team Members. This allows you to set
up a Team in advance, including Equipment and Tasking, but before you
know who will populate the Team.
- New: I have rewritten the
Create/Edit Object system for SAR mode. This new window will allow you
to create / edit an Object as a Team, Clue or basic Object.
- New:
Rewritten the Edit Station window for SAR mode. This is now greatly
simplyfied, and you can now edit a Station as a basic Station or link
it to a Team.
- New: In the Add Log Entry form, in 'Enter
Coordinates' you can now select if the coordinates are the *position*
of the selected Team, or if the coordinates represent a CLUE. In the
latter case, the above new Create Object window will appear, where full
details of the Clue can be entered.
- New: Permanent Team Objects
and Permanent Team Stations. When a Tracker Object or a Tracker Station
is edited and save as 'Permanent', a permanent link will be saved
between the Object ID or Station Callsign. When in a _New Active
Operation_ this Station or Tracker Object is heard for the first time,
a TEAM will be AUTOMATICALLY be created with the saved Team Name
(Tactical). This option can be disabled in Setup>SAR (it is enabled
by default).
- Fix: TeamSetup People list did not update Status changes in some situations.
- Fix: PeopleArrival window list did not update itself after Status change.
DatabaseServer:
- Some minor internal fixes.
Version 0.9.769
27 February 2017
SARTrack:
-
Renamed the OSM Map "Europe Topographic" to "World Topographic". This
map now shows the entire world topographic, an excellent map!
SARTrack (SAR Only):
- Fix: Some bug fixes in the Missing Person windows
- Fix: Bug fixes in the Tasking system: You could not always changing its status by right-clicking on a Task.
- Fix: Missing Person photo: When clicking on photo, the image viewer did not show.
- Fix: Log Windows: 'Save Logs to Disk' did not work.
- Fix: Radio Ops Log Entry: Enter Coordinates did not work.
- Fix: Radio Ops window: Display problem when scrolling list with mousewheel, and fixed double entry of coordinates.
DatabaseServer:
- Small update
Version 0.9.768
16 February 2017
SARTrack:
- Fix: 'Direwolf' Hide Panel was not saved and Panel kept coming back.
-
APRS Messages: The 'PING' button in the Messages window will now force
a PING over the Radio network, even if the Station has not been heard
via radio.
- New: Map: Tracks on the Map: It is now possible to
select a _date range_ on all Tracks, which makes it possible to only
show Tracks for a certain day, or multiple days. This to de-clutter the
Map during multi-day operations. Right-click on the Map and select
'Show Tracks by Date'.
- NEW: You can now look for any *address*
by Town/Street/Country from the main OSM map window. Right-click on
Map, select "Find Location". Also has option to generate an Object at
the location. This uses Google data, and Internet access is required.
-
Fix: OSM Map Servers which use "https" instead of "http" did not work
(Europe Topo). SSL is now enabled in the OSM download system.
- New:
The box at the bottom of the Connect Menu, which shows the Callsign of
incoming Stations, will now also show the ID of incoming non-APRS
trackers (Tracking radios, AIS, Satellite, etc), or, if available the
Tactical name.
SARTrack (SAR Only):
-
Fixed a problem with the Forms package: SARTrack will now be able to
select the Country without first having this set in the 'Form Designer'
program. *** You must download and install the latest Forms
Package for this to work ***.
- Fix: In TeamSetup, the Date and Time of Team Departure where not properly pre-set.
TASKING Many changes and improvements:
---
Bug fixes and improvements. Tasks can now also be Canceled, not only
marked as 'Completed'. Also added more 'Task Types' in the
pulldown list.
--- NEW: You can now attach an IMAGE to a TASK. Could
be the Missing Person picture or a Map/Search_Area for example. ---
NEW: Tasks can be printed out from the "Team Setup" window, including
any Image attachements.
--- NOTE: Not finished yet: Email Task, including attached Images.
Some more improvements will be made in that area in the future.
-
Fix: The TCP 'Read timeout' for connection to the Database Server has
been increased from 5 to 10 seconds, to be able to deal with extremely
bad satellite connections to the Internet Database Server.
- Re-written the Printing system. Now much more flexible to Print all kinds of stuff.
- Re-written the Image Viewing system. Can now view all kinds of Images, Forms, Maps, etc. much better.
-
NEW: A new feature has been partly finished at this point: The 'Welfare
Needs Assessment' system. This will be part of the new Urban Operation
system, which is intended to be used after a dissaster situation like
an earthquake of flood. This system will work together with the
upcoming SARTrack Android App, for use in the field. More on this
later.
- APRS Messages: You can no longer Delete APRS
Messages when in an Active Operation. If you are Closed (Operation
"NONE") then you can now properly Delete APRS Messages, and this will
be done accross all Database connected computers.
DatabaseServer:
-
Fix: In some complicated error situations, the Local Database Server
would not automatically re-connect to the Internet based Server. This
is now fixed.
- Added a Warning system if a Local Database Server is
losing its connection with the Internet Server. A Warning box will
appear on the screen of the Local Database Server 15 minutes after loss
on connection with the Internet based Database Server. I am also
considering sending an email to a special email address in such a
case... Feedback on this is welcome.
- Fix: Tasks from a previous
Operation where reloaded when a new Operation started. There are now
two sepparate files for the Task Templates and the Tasks used during an
Operation, the latter will be saved and cleared when the Operation
closes.
- Task database structure now allows for Image attachment.
- New: Database structure for 'Welface Assessment' (Red Cross) system.
-
The Database Server is now mostly prepared for the future use of the
Android App, which connects via a separate TCP Port on the Server.
Version 0.9.767D
12 January 2017
SARTrack:
This is an intermediate Update because of the Beta expiry date. Still working on a major new Update which is not ready yet.
Also Updated two SSL DLL files to the latest secure version.
Version 0.9.767C
16 December 2016
SARTrack:
- Re-Uploaded SARTrack.exe as it was not the right version.
- Updated the Dutch (Nederlands) language file.
SARTrack (SAR Only):
- Fix: The Update botton in the second Missing Person window did not work correctly.
Versions 0.9.767B
18 October 2016
SARTrack (SAR Only):
- Fix: A bug in the Team Setup, Equipment Drag/Drop caused selected Equipment not to be marked as 'Assigned'.
Versions 0.9.767
15 October 2016
SARTrack:
-
Import GPX Tracks and Waypoints: This is completely rewritten, and 100x
faster. Also more options, and improvments. Please try this out with
your GPX files, and if things do not work as expected, please email me
your GPX file(s) so I can test againts it.
SARTrack (SAR Only):
-
LogEntry: When coordinates are entered during a Log Entry, these are
now also added to the Log text, and can be printed out during the
'Export' of the Log.
- To DELETE or Clear a Team in TeamSetup, Supervisor access is now required. It also goes into the Auto Log.
-
In the Log window, 'Export Log' will now also save all Teams with the
Team Members. This will later be expanded with time and duration they
have been assigned.
- NEW: The first step in the 'Availability'
system. When People are assigned and removed from Teams, this is now
recorded in the new system. While this is still work in progress, it is
now possible to generate a report to disk on the 'Status' and history
of all People, which can be done by clicking on the 'Print' button in
the Team Setup window, and select "Save All People Status". Later this
will be replaced by a a new option to print this all out. The
same system will also be used for People to set their future
'Availability' using an Android App (in development)
DatabaseServer:
-
Fixed issue when new Local Database Server was installed, it would not
synchronize the first time with an Internet based Server. Please
(re)read the documentation on the installation of Database Servers for
more details: How to install and set up the Database
system (Updated Sep 2016)
-
Fix: In heavy traffic situations, the synchonisation from the Local
Database Server TO the Internet based Server would sometimes not work
properly.
- Replaced all internal Timers with better type.
- Some non-critical internal improvements.
Versions 0.9.766B
6 October 2016
SARTrack (SAR Only):
- Bug fixes related to Tasking for Teams.
Versions 0.9.766
3 October 2016
SARTrack:
- Updated the Polish Langage file.
-
The SARTrack Update program is now also capable of multi-language (But
all Translators must first translate all new code). The Polish version
is available.
SARTrack SAR version Only:
- Important Fix: The OperationPeriod Form would not always open from the Forms window, when the selection was "New".
-
Improved: The OperationPeriod windows, and all MissingPerson related
windows can now _only_ be edited when the EDIT Button is pressed first.
-
This version of SARTrack is now ready to use the new Availability
system. However, the Android App which will make it possible to
generate the Availabilities of a person (Member) is not ready
yet. You will see the new Availability strip in the People and
Team Setup windows, when you select a person. But as there is no
information available yet, the bar will be gray.
DatabaseServer:
- Some non-critical internal improvements.
Versions 0.9.765A
27 September 2016
SARTrack (SAR Only):
-Fix:
Removed warning syste in SAR Log when existing Active Operation is
older than 2 weeks, as this caused problems with SAREX Operations which
where set up way in advance.
Versions SARTrack 0.9.765 and Server 0.9.766 Beta
24 September 2016
SARTrack:
- Overhauled the internal Email system
- Moved all Debug files into a separate Debug directory.
- The SARTrack Temp directory is now cleared on exit.
-
Fix: The Replay system had several bugs which are now fixed. Also, when
using SARTrack in Database Modr (SAR) then the Replay system will now
properly switch between the local replay file, and reconnect to the
Database Server afterwards. NOTE that the Replay system is
disabled by default in Database mode. If you want to use it, enabled it
in Setup>General.
-
Fix: When editing a Station or an Object, then changing the Track Color
or the Tactical name, this was not immediately updated on the Map and
Lists until a new packet came in.
-
NEW: While drawing Polylines on the Map (Search areas, etc) the
Polyline window will now also show the total _length_ of the Polyline.
Also NOTE the new Polyline setting for SAR Database users below.
SARTrack SAR version Only:
-
NEW: Polyline: In Setup>SAR you can now enable 'Extended Polyline'.
When this is checked, there is no limit anymore on how many Parts the Polyline can have, BUT it can no longer be transmitted over the APRS system, ONLY via the Database Servers.
-
Fix: When a New (aditional) Task was assigned to a Team in the Team
Setup window, this was not correctly handled in the Log as a new Task,
but as a new Team setup. Therefore the Log entry was not correct, and
also the new Task did not show up in the TimeLine window on the Task
line. (Adding a new Task from the Log Entry window was correctly
handled). Also, both New Tasks and Close Tasks are now logged, and will
go onto the TimeLine 'Task' line.
- New: Team Status Window now has new view of the current TASK for the selected team.
- Fix in the Team Status Window, will now properly respond to the mouse-wheel and show all Logs correctly.
-
NEW: A NEW window is now available: "Team Information". This window
shows for each Team the Team Members, and the current Task. The window
can be opened from the Team Setup and Team Status windows with a new
button.
- New: In both the TeamSetup and the (new) Team Info windows, you can now CLOSE a TASK by right-clicking on one a task in the list.
- Fix: When editing a person in the People window, the record would not always be unlocked after saving the record.
- New: The LKP/PLS Circle system now has an optional fixed 300 meter or 1000 feet circle. (This is a mandatory Search Area)
- Much faster connection to Database Server in Automatic mode.
-
New: There is now a MUTE button in the Operation Log window, where you
can switch off the 'Ping' sound when a new Log entry comes in... I
understand people got crazy when all computers in the Ops room all kept
pinging... I can't see why :)
-
Improved the 'Historical Operations' selection window (From the Ops Log
window in Options). Now shows the Date, and can be ordered. Makes it
much easier to find a Historical Operation back.
- Multiple minor bug fixes, many of them intermittendly or only in certain situations.
-
COMING UP: Availability of all People (Team members). This is already
part of the Database Server and the SARTrack program, but not yet
activated, while I do more testing. This will be accompanied by the NEW
SARTRACK ANDROID APP, which will enable all organisation Members to
edit their own data, track their position and set their own
Availability into the future, and more! Watch this space!
DatabaseServer:
- NEW: New database structures for the use of People Availabilities, and a Private encrypted Message system.
- NEW: Secundary TCP Port is now operational on Port 8051. This Port will be used by the new ADROID APP (Coming up).
-
NEW: It is now possible to connect multiple LOCAL Database Servers to
an Internet Database Server. This makes it now possible to use a Local
Server at the remote locations, but at the same time use another Local
Server at a Permanent Base.
-
Fix: In certain situations, when a Local Database would SYNC with an
Internet based Server after a connection failure, the connected Clients
on both sides would not always be updated at that time.
-
Fix: In high traffic situations, when a SARTrack Client tried to Login,
it would sometimes be disconnected before the Login procedure was
finished.
- Fix: Due to an internal error, Tracks of Objects and Stations could sometimes disappear, including Polylines.
Version 0.9.764 Beta
26 July 2016
SARTrack:
- New: Option to protect the Configuration Setup with a Password.
-
New: You can now EXPORT the SARTrack Configuration file, and IMPORT it
into other SARTrack computers. This will enable you to set up one
SARTrack computer for your SAR Group, export the Configuration onto a
USB stick, then IMPORT this into all other SARTrack computers.
The
IMPORT will not change the CALLSIGN, and will set all Connection's to
FALSE, except the Database Connection. If you first also add a
Configuration Password, the new SARTrack computer users will not be
able to change the settings.
SAR Only:
-
Improved the LKP Circle System. Now switches between LKP (Last Known
Position) and PLS (Point Last Seen), including the Details.
- In
the Missing Person form, page 2, there are now sepparate buttons for
the LKP and PLS circle systems. These can now _both_ be set from this
form, and the information will automatically be saved in the Missing
Person form. The 'Details' field of the LKP/PLS form will be copied
over into the Missing Person form, but can be overwritten there if
required. You can jump to the positon on the Map by clicking on the
coordinates of the LKP or PLS.
- NEW: In the 'People',
'People-Arrival' and 'Team Setup' windows, you can now FILTER the
People (Members) by Name, ID, GroupID and Capability.
This means
you can for example only show all People with a certain GroupID (of you
own Group for example, excluding any other Group Members in your
database) or you can search for people with a specific Capability (for
example 'Logistics Manager' or 'Alpine Cliff Rescue team member' etc.)
NOTE:
You can now pre-load (Import) the People (Members) of SAR Groups in
your area, when they have their GroupID saved first. Then you can
filter on your own GroupID, and only your own People will be visible to
reduce clutter.
- Fix: An intermittent problem where sometimes you could not enter text into a edit box has now been fixed.
FORMS Package: Some changes where made in the Forms package to use some new variables. Some New Zealand Forms have been changed.
Version 0.9.763 Beta
19 July 2016
SARTrack:
-
Critical Bug fix: I Bug was introduced in the last version (0.9.762)
which would cause a loss of the Settings, when the Setup Window was
opened. See the mailing list for information on this issue.
SAR Only:
-
New: Delete Team. It is now possible to delete a Team, from the Team
Setup window, in Options. This requires that the Database Server is
upgraded to version 0.9.763 as well.
SARTrackServer:
-
Additional warning to SARTrack clients, if a client is trying to
connect to the Database Server with the same CALLSIGN AND IP address of
another SARTrack client.
- New: Delete a Team. The Database Server
MUST be updated to this version, to make it possible to delete a TEAM
fron a SARTrack client.
Version 0.9.762 Beta
13 July 2016
SARTrack: SAR Only:
- New Print Forms system. The system to print paper
Forms has been completely changed. A whole new Forms installation
package is now available from the web server, with a new Form Designer
program which makes it posible for you to generate your own Forms. This
package can be downloaded from http://www.sartrack.nz/
If you are using the Forms, you MUST Update both the Forms package, AND SARTrack to the latest version.
Version 0.9.761 Beta
23 June 2016
SARTrack:
-
Fix: Due to a decoding error in 'Satellite Time' from GPS data, the
decoding of some none-APRS trackers failed, including Icom, Tait and
Hytera radios.
SAR Only:
- Fix: In the 'Add Log Entry' forms, the last 3 "Type" entries in the pulldown list did not work properly.
Version 0.9.760 Beta
18 June 2016
SARTrack:
- Fix: Tait radio decoding did not decode the Speed properly.
- Added new OSM Map Server "Topo-AU-NewSouthWales-ArcGIS" to the Web server 'Example' directory, see below.
SAR Only:
-
Fix: In the 'Add Log Entry' forms, SARTrack will warn if the "Type" is
left at "One-Off" because in that case the Reference will not be saved
and will not show up in the pulldown lists or the Team Status tabs.
When selecting a "Type" of 'Team', 'Person', etc. the Reference will be
saved and is afterwards available in all pulldown lists and tabs.
-
NEW: Hytera commercial radio interface. SARTrack can now decode Hytera
radio Position Reports. Some features have not been tested yet (Request
Position).
SARTrackServer:
-
Removed the Expiry system in the Server. If the Database Server is to
old compared to the SARTrack Clients, a warning will be displayed to
Update the Server.
- When the Database Server runs in 'Internet
Mode', added extra protection to prevent multiple Local Database
Connections. At the moment you can only connect ONE 'LOCAL Database
Server' to an Internet based Database Server (including the SARTrack
German server).
Version 0.9.759 Beta
16 May 2016
SARTrack:
-
New: Motorola Radio interface. After a lot of work, it SARTrack can now
interface with Motorola MOTOTRBO radios. SARTrack will act as an 'ARS'
Server and 'Location Server' for
the Motorola radios. Please read the Help file on the system for
details (in Connection_Setup>Motorola>Help). Many thanks to
Steven Heimand VK2BN for the help
writing this interface (he had to test it with his radios). Please
advise me if you are going to use this system.
- Fix: Station Tracks where not loaded on startup in non-database mode.
-
Fix: When using the AGWPE interface, packets where not forwarded to the
APRS Server when they had no PATH. This currently happens with the
Direwolf software on the AGWPE interface, as it does not supply any PATH (which is a bug in Direwolf).
-
Fix: In the main Map window, it is now possible to Zoom with the
MouseWheel while drawing a line, doing distance calculation, moving
Objects, etc.
-
Fix: Map window, Bulk Download of OSM Map Tiles did not work for some
OSM Servers. If you are in a situation where you used the Bulk
Download, and now some parts of the map do not resolve into detail, do a new Bulk Download over the same area, and check "Force Complate Download".
-
Fix: In NON-Database mode, on startup and load-from-disk, all Objects
with a Track would be reset to 'Hide Track', which caused Tracks to
disappear once a new packet came in for that Object.
-
New: SARTrack Activation system will now lookup the Amateur Radio
Callsign on qrz.com, and if it exists, load some details into the
Activation window and automatically generate the APRS Passcode.
SAR Only:
- Fix: in NON-database mode, "New Log Entry" would give a 'Database No Reply' error.
Version 0.9.758 Beta
25 April 2016
SARTrack:
-
Fix: When the Map window was closed while the DetailsWindow (of a
Station or Object) was still showing, this DetailsWindow would come
back the next time the Map window was opened, and would not go away
until a restart.
SAR Only:
- Critical Fix: Log Entries would fail when an entry was made for which no Reference (Team name) existed yet.
-
Improvements: Icom Static Messages; Now adds GPS location info to the
SAR Log when a Static message comes in. Also, new option in SAR Log and
Team Status: On right-click on Log entry, option "Show On Map" if a GPS
refererence is linked to the Log entry.
Version 0.9.757 Beta
6 April 2016
SARTrack:
- Fix: Problem with Tait Radio decoding
- Fix: Improved checking for a valid Callsign of the local Station, including connections to APRS-IS servers.
-
New: Move an Object by dragging on Map. You can now move an Object by
right-clicking on and and select 'Move Object'. When position reached,
left-click to save, or right-click to cancel move.
Note: This only works on the primary OSM Map, not on the Google Static Map or the New Zealand Topo map.
SARTrackServer:
- Fix: Small fix in the processing of 'Station' requests/delete from SARTrack clients.
Version 0.9.756 Beta
4 April 2016
SARTrack:
- Added decoding of the NAVITRA $PNTS protocol in APRS packets.
-
New: Multi-selection of Objects and Stations, to enable multiple
hiding, showing, deleting etc. of these in the Object window and
Station window.
- Fix: Decoding of GPS related timestamp would give an error due to some non-standard time formats
- Fix: Some sorting in the Stations window did not work right.
-
Change: Changed to resolution of your location in the APRS-IS Server
distance filter command. This previousely used only a integer type, now
it uses up to 4 digits behind the '.'.
For example, the command to the APRS-IS Server for a distance of 50 kilometer from your location was:
"r/-45/169/50"
but now it is "r/-45.6389/169.3479/50". You have to go into the
ConnectionSettings, and make a small change to your APRS-IS Filter
Distance settings, to activate the new settings.
I
do hope this does not break the function with some APRS servers. Please
let me know if it does not work for you, and which APRS-IS Server you
are using.
SARTrack (SAR Only)
- Fix: A messagebox warning about 'You are still in Edit mode...' would pop up sometimes without reason.
- Fix: 'Close Active Log' would not clear People and Equipment (But 'New Active Log' would)
-
Change: 'Team' linkage to People, Equipment, Tasks and Tracker-Objects
is now based on an internal reference code. All NEW Operations
will now have more reliable internal links, required during Team or
Object name change, etc.
- Fix: The TeamStatus window would not update the Logs for a Team in certain situations.
-
Fix: When SARTrack is switched to HAM mode, it will no longer respond
to some incoming SAR commands or Logs via the APRS network.
- Fix: During an active Operation, some Objects would still timeout and disappear from the Map.
- Fix: Improved flexibility in the Date format of the Import People system.
-
NEW: Added 'Static Messages' for Icom commercial radios. When a Static
Message code is received from a radio in the field, SARTrack will add a
LOG entry with the message text, as coming from the Team associated
with this radio. Message Code/Text can be edited from the
ConnectionSettings window in the Icom tab. (Note: Work in progress.
Transmitting a Static Message _from_ SARTrack will be added later)
Database Server:
- Rewritten Email system (includes SMS system)
- Added new datebase structure which will be used for global settings.
Version 0.9.753 Beta
21 February 2016
SARTrack:
-

a missing comma in the data send :( This has been the case for
some time, until somebody finally reported it.
Version 0.9.752 Beta
17 February 2016
SARTrack:
-
Changed the OSM Maptype list, all Weather related Maps are now grouped
together. Also added some more Map options, based on the OpenWeatherMap
server.
- Fix: The optional "OpenPortGuide" Weather maps did no
longer work, now they work again. These can be downloaded from the
'examples' directory on the web server.
SARTrack (SAR Only):
-
Fix: When somebody would drag a Task into a Team, this Task would
appear on all other computers in any open Team Setup window, regardless
which Team was displayed.
- Fix: When an (Tracker) Object which is
linked to a Team had its Tactical (and therefore Team Name) *renamed*,
the Team Members assigned to this Team would end up in limbo, because
their internal reference was lost. This is now fixed.
- Fix:
Problems which occured when Team Names (and Object Tactical names)
where added and changed with mixed uppercase and lowercase characters.
This caused confusion the the program, with as result loss of access to
some Team names. SARTrack now completly ignores the upper/lowercase of
Team Names and Tactical names.
NOTE: There are still some issues when a Team Tracker is renamed in the Map window. This will be fixed in the next update.
-
New: in the Team Setup window, Equipment can now be 'multi selected' on
both the left and right sides of the window. By right-clicking on
selected Equipment, you can now remove the equipment from any Team to
which it was assigned, regardless which team it was assigned to.
- Improvements in the Tasking system.

Updates. It is disabled by default. If you check this, SARTrack will
automatically check for updates (ONLY when it is running), and restart
itself after the update. It will also automatically re-Login to the
Database Server with the same credentials as it was logged in before
the update.
The Automatic Update is strongly recommended in situations where SARTrack is running unattended.
To use this feature, restart SARTrack one extra time after this current Update.

latest "Forms" package, which at this time only has the New Zealand
forms working. Users in other countries can have a play as well, just
switch the Country in Setup>SAR to 'New Zealand'.

Right-Click on OSM Map, and 'Request Current Weather at this location'.
This will interogate an Internet Weather server, and if a Weather
Station is in the area, if will popup a Weather information box.
(Try this first on a larger city). More Weather related work is in
progress.

coordinate problems in countries where a comma "," is used as a decimal
separator, instead of a dot ".".

Version 0.9.726 Beta
14 July 2015
SARTrack:
-
Some fixes in the TNC AX25 encoding where it relates to the new
Digipeater function. The TNC code was not correctly dealing with the
re-transmission of the stations in the Path.
- NEW: In the
Information balloon, which shows up on the Map when you move your mouse
over a Station or Object, if the Information contains an URL (link to a
Web page) you can now click on it to open the Web page (internet
required). You can try it by adding your own Web page in the Comment
field of Setup>This_Station. NOTE: The URL must start with "http:"
or "www."
Version 0.9.725 Beta
11 July 2015
SARTrack:
-
NEW: Digipeater function. SARTrack can now be used as a fill-in OR Full
digipeater. Only enable if you really need this in your area! (In
Setup>Communications). In Fill-in mode, SARTrack will only
respond to the "WIDE1-1" path. In FULL mode SARTrack will respond to
WIDE1, WIDE2, WIDE3 and WIDE4 paths.
- NEW: Labels on Maps: You can
now select the Font Size for the Labels on the maps, in Setup>Maps1.
And you can select the Label background to be Solid (default),
Transparent or Semi-transparent. This will change the background of all
Labels to transparent, or with a cross-hatched background. Against a
dark background (satellite maps) this is not always easy to read. Note
that when fully transparent, the you can no longer see the status of
the Station or Object (For example: Yellow for Timeout). For SAR users
I do NOT recommend using fully transparent.
- NEW: Show Line
to last Repeater. (Setup>Maps1). When enabled (default), when
LEFT-Clicking your mouse on a Station Icon (same as dragging the Map),
it will show a line from the Station to the first Repeater/Gateway
through which the Station was received. This is based on the last
packet received, and the Repeater/Gateway must already be in the
database, with its coordinates. If no Repeater was found in the Path,
or the Repeater/Gateway is not itself in the database, nothing will
happen.
- Fixed and updated the Help for the Maps window.
SAR ONLY:
-
Added new option in DTBUsers window: New entry "Database Server". This
will be part of the new system to synchronize two database servers.
Version 0.9.724 Beta

SARTrack:
-
Fix: Hidden Tracks of moving Objects would get re-activated when new
position data would come in (and track would re-appear on the map)
- Fixed visual error in Setup window.
- Change in the way Overlay maps are blended.
-
Fix: Forward-to-Internet and Forward-to-Radio for non-APRS (Object)
Trackers (AIS, Satellite, ICOM, Tait, Kenwood commercial radios, etc)
was not properly set for all existing trackers when the forwarding was
enabled/disabled in the specific connection menu. Also fixed the issue
that the Forward-to-Internet was still happening when the data came in
via the Database Server.
- Change: In the OSM Map window, a change
has been made in the way "Local Maps" are rendered. They no longer have
a fixed Aspect Ratio based on the horizontal pixel size: Now both the
vertical and horizontal ZOOM size are now rendered independently. This
means that if your .INF file for the local map is not correct in the
latitude values, the map will get stretched out of proportion. If your
.INF files are correct, you should not see any difference. To
make your Local Maps work again in this version, in the OSM Map window
please select "Options>Re-Scan Local Maps". You can then select them
again from the pulldown list at the top.
SAR ONLY:
-
Fix: Reported issue with clearing People Status from 'Assigned' back to
_previous_ Status. Added extra protection to force the Status to
'Available' when the previous status was also 'Assigned'.

the local IP address of the PC every time in case it has changed.

Version 0.9.718 Beta
2 April 2015
SARTrack Database users, please read the importnant information below, regarding the change of the Server Admin login.
SARTrack:
- NEW: Decoding of Tait commercial Radios.
- Fix: "Setup>This Station" Beacon, when using a GPS, could not change the Beacon interval.
-
New: On some Icom radios, Tait radios and the GPSMic microphone, these
can now be Polled for their GPS position from remote SARTrack
computers, via the APRS network and via the Database Server.
- Fix: Manually added Objects did not get transmitted via (APRS Radio) TNC, even if "Transmit Objects Over Radio" was enabled.
- Updated the Help system on Icom and Tait radio settings.
SAR ONLY:
-
Fix: LKP/PLS Circle system would 'timeout' and get hidden on the Map
after one hour. Now will stay permanently unless hidden manually.
- Fix: Operations Menu was not updated when switching Active or Historic Operations, so some buttons where grayed out.
-
Fix: In Team Setup, the Tabs are now set to 'multi-line', so you do not
have to scroll to find them if you have lots of Team Tabs. Also, on
first start ALL Teams will now be shown on the Tabs sheet. You can hide
any Teams Tabs afterwards.
- Team Status, improved clarity which Tab is currently at the foreground. Team Name/Reference now in list.
SARTrackServer:
- Improved debug logging.
- **** Changes to the Supervisor Login system.
There is now a NEW Login for the Database Server Adminstrator, to
separate it from the "Supervisor" login, which will now be different
for all GroupID's.
After this Update, in the Database Server Setup
window, first re-enter the Password for the "ServerAdmin" login. By
default, it should be the old 'Supervisor' password for the Server.
When
you login as "ServerAdmin" with the above password, you can access
_any_ GroupID, therefore have access to all GroupID databases,
including the editing of the Database Users (DTB Users).
In the DTB
Users system of the Server, you will now have a separate "Supervisor"
login for each GroupID, each with their OWN Password.
It is possible
that "Supervisor" login for the GroupID you are using no longer works.
In that case, login as "ServerAdmin" with the required GroupID, and
change the password for the "Supervisor" for this GroupID. NOTE: This
only affects the actual "Supervisor" login. It does NOT affect any DTB
Users which have been generated with a Supervisor _access level_.
-
There is a new option in the Setup window: "Server is on the
Internet". When this is NOT ticked (the default), the Server will
automatically generate a "Supervisor" login the first time somebody
connects to it with a NEW GroupID, with a Password of "test".
This enables quick access when a new GroupID is going to be used.
When
the option "Server is on the Internet" is ticked, the Server will NOT
allow a new GroupID to be accessed by logging in as "Supervisor".
Instead, the "ServerAdmin" user will have to login with the required
GroupID, and manually enter the first DTB Users (including a new
"Supervisor" login if required).
Only then have other users access to this new GroupID database.
