Headline Items

• mwp is migrated to Gtk4.
• Please see the migration guide for system requirements etc. and migration from the legacy version.

Recent changes

• More Windows fixes (and collateral damage fixes)

• Fix "less than timely update" of Heading/Yaw from LTM.

• Add an option to desensitise actions / menu items to upload / download many artefacts by MSP when armed. Neither mwp nor INAV really care whether the FC is armed for not, however several Windows users requested that such actions (other then Upload Mission when not in WP mode) be suppressed.

  By default, such actions are allowed (legacy, default behaviour). These actions may be suppressed by setting armed-msp-placebo to true, e.g.

  gsettings set org.stronnag.mwp armed-msp-placebo 'true'
  

• Add --debug-help option to list --debug-flags values

• Improve display of --debug-flags 4 (MSP) output.

• Re-enable "beeps" (lost from Gtk4 port).

mwp Gtk4 RC3

Third (and probably final) public release candidate for mwp / Gtk4.

• This is built from the mwp4 branch.
• Please see the migration guide for system requirements etc.
• Please raise Github issues for stuff that is broken / regressions
• It is the intention that unless there are major issues, the mwp4 branch will become master and the current master (Gtk+-3.0) branch will be renamed to legacy. This should happen at the end of September 2024.
• As the published user guide has yet to be updated, please ask any usage / UX questions in the current discussion. The draft UG in the mwp4 branch reflects the latest documentation.
