released this
2026-07-14 21:51:39 +00:00 | 2 commits to main since this release0.11.0
- CRT-style shut-off animation — when powering off, the current screen
collapses towards the middle (squeezed to a line, then a dot) like an old CRT
switching off, replacing the "Power Off" message. (Colour displays only.)

FreeTRX v0.10.1 Pre-release
released this
2026-07-14 21:28:09 +00:00 | 4 commits to main since this release0.10.1
- Fix: the muted "M" indicator in the status bar overlapped the GPS text
when GPS was enabled. The header icon is removed; the muted state is shown by
the flashing red LED alone.

FreeTRX v0.10.0 Pre-release
released this
2026-07-14 21:08:59 +00:00 | 7 commits to main since this release0.10.0
- SMS recipient from contacts — when composing a message, press GREEN in
the recipient field to pick the destination from your private-call DMR
contacts (or type a DMR ID manually and press DOWN to move to the text). - Contacts list shows everything — Menu → Contacts now lists all contact
types together under the title "Contacts" instead of defaulting to the group
filter; HASH still cycles the per-type filters (all / groups / private /
all-call).

showing as white boxes.

FreeTRX v0.8.0 Pre-release
released this
2026-07-14 12:48:17 +00:00 | 11 commits to main since this release0.8.0
- Three new theme presets (Display Options → "Theme"): Red (black-on-red
day / red-on-black night); Neon 80s, an 80s-synthwave palette that maps
several neon colours (cyan, magenta, violet, green, yellow) across the
individual UI elements over a dark background; and Pride, which paints the
background as a rainbow pride flag with black text and white menu/header boxes
kept readable over the stripes. - Build: each build now prints a per-region memory-usage summary
(FLASH / RAM / CCMRAM used, size and free) so the remaining headroom is
visible after every build.

FreeTRX v0.7.1 Pre-release
released this
2026-07-13 15:32:26 +00:00 | 16 commits to main since this release0.7.1
- Fix: the radio crashed when navigating the Messages menu with voice
prompts enabled. Menu strings added after the voice-prompt pack was built map
to a table-of-contents slot that doesn't exist; the player read past the end
of the table. Such strings now play silence instead (also hardens the
pre-existing strings sitting at the end of the table).

FreeTRX v0.7.0 Pre-release
released this
2026-07-13 14:53:33 +00:00 | 19 commits to main since this release0.7.0
- DMR text messages (SMS) — full ETSI/Motorola-TMS-compatible messaging:
compose on the keypad (multi-tap, up to 160 characters), inbox and sent box
(8 messages each, persisted to flash across power cycles), 10 editable
quick-text templates, an incoming-message popup with chime and one-key
reply, and delivery confirmation (waits for the ETSI response PDU / ACK
with a resend prompt on timeout). Transmits in the Motorola TMS format
(UDP port 4007) understood by BrandMeister, hotspots and most OEM radios;
receives both TMS and the Anytone/"DMR standard" format (port 5016) and
answers delivery-report requests from other radios. Reachable from the
main menu ("Messages") or a long-press on GREEN in channel/VFO mode.
Options: "Wait for ACK" and "My ID only" (accept only messages addressed
to your own DMR ID). Voice PTT is locked out while a message transmits,
and hotspot mode is unaffected. - Removed the main-menu icons — the top-level menu entries are plain text again.

FreeTRX v0.6.0 Pre-release
released this
2026-07-13 08:04:01 +00:00 | 23 commits to main since this release0.6.0
- Theme presets — selectable on the radio in Display Options → "Theme":
Custom (CPS-editable, default), BASIC 80s (Commodore 64 blue/light-blue),
Terminal (green-on-black night / black-on-green day), and Vertexic
(orange, black-on-orange day / orange-on-black night). The choice is stored
in the codeplug custom-data area (migration-safe; defaults to Custom), and CPS
theme edits only ever change Custom. - Fix: green LED flickering between the red flashes while muted during a DMR
QSO. The DMR RX handler re-asserts the green LED as soon as it reads it off, racing
the main-loop mute clear; the green LED is now held off at the driver for the
whole mute (and released on un-mute), so only the red flash shows. screenshot.sh— a one-command wrapper around the OpenGD77 screen grabber
that auto-detects the serial port and sets up a self-contained Python venv
(pyserial + pillow) on first run. Saves toscreenshots/.

FreeTRX v0.5.0 Pre-release
released this
2026-07-10 11:54:15 +00:00 | 29 commits to main since this release0.5.0
- Fix: un-muting during an active QSO left the LED off instead of returning
to green. On un-mute the green RX LED is now restored from the current receive
state (active DMR slot or FM/digital signal), so an in-progress call lights green
again. MANUAL.md— a user-facing feature & usage guide covering both inherited
OpenGD77 features and FreeTRX additions, each tagged 🟢 [FreeTRX] or ⚪
[OpenGD77]. Includes the spectrum scope (VFO sweep, hold#), channel add/delete,
mute, dimming, and a button reference.- Documentation website (
website/) — MkDocs Material config that renders the
markdown into a static, searchable HTML site (client-side search, dark/light
theme). Built in Docker via./website/build-docs.sh; the public URL is set with
SITE_URL=…. For self-hosting on Forgejo.

FreeTRX v0.4.0 Pre-release
released this
2026-07-10 10:49:45 +00:00 | 33 commits to main since this release0.4.0
- On-radio channel add/delete. The Channel quick menu (top button) has two new
entries:- new channel — creates a blank 145.500 MHz FM channel in the first free
slot, adds it to the current zone, and opens Channel Details to edit it. The
zone is reloaded so the channel is immediately navigable. - Delete Channel — deletes the selected channel after a confirmation, and
scrubs it out of every zone that referenced it. Refuses to delete the last
remaining channel, and respects the read-only/APRS channel lock. - The new menu strings are translated (German, French, Italian, Spanish,
Portuguese, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Catalan, Finnish, Czech; English fallback
for the rest).
- new channel — creates a blank 145.500 MHz FM channel in the first free
flash.shnow always rebuilds the language (.gla) packs, so edits to the
language files are picked up instead of a stale pack being re-flashed.- Release script now flags every release before v1.0.0 as a pre-release
(and corrects the flag on re-runs).
