## Version 1.8 -- Development Version
### New Features: ###
### New Features:
- Support for CM108 PTT on Mac.
- New NCHANNEL feature to map a channel number to an external network TCP KISS TNC. See xxx for example of a bridge to LoRa APRS. See [APRS-LoRa-VHF-APRS-Bridge.pdf](https://github.com/wb2osz/direwolf-doc/blob/main/APRS-LoRa-VHF-APRS-Bridge.pdf) for explanation.
- [http://www.aprs.org/aprs11/tocalls.txt](http://www.aprs.org/aprs11/tocalls.txt) has been abandoned since the end of 2021. [https://github.com/aprsorg/aprs-deviceid](https://github.com/aprsorg/aprs-deviceid) is now considered to be the authoritative source of truth for the vendor/model encoding.

### New Features: ###
### New Features:
- New ICHANNEL configuration option to map a KISS client application channel to APRS-IS. Packets from APRS-IS will be presented to client applications as the specified channel. Packets sent, by client applications, to that channel will go to APRS-IS rather than a radio channel. Details in ***Internal-Packet-Routing.pdf***.
- New variable speed option for gen_packets. For example, "-v 5,0.1" would generate packets from 5% too slow to 5% too fast with increments of 0.1. Some implementations might have imprecise timing. Use this to test how well TNCs tolerate sloppy timing.
- Improved Layer 2 Protocol [(IL2P)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FX.25_Forward_Error_Correction). Compatible with Nino TNC for 1200 and 9600 bps. Use "-I 1" on command line to enable transmit for first channel. For more general case, add to config file (simplified version, see User Guide for more details):
> After: "CHANNEL 1" (or other channel)

> Add: "IL2PTX 1"

- The BEACON configuration now recognizes the SOURCE= option. This replaces the AX.25 source address rather than using the MYCALL value for the channel. This is useful for sending more than 5 analog telemetry channels. Use two, or more, source addresses with up to 5 analog channels each.
- For more flexibility, the FX.25 transmit property can now be set individually by channel, rather than having a global setting for all channels. The -X on the command line applies only to channel 0. For other channels you need to add a new line to the configuration file. You can specify a specific number of parity bytes (16, 32, 64) or 1 to choose automatically based on packet size.
