I just wanted to give a heads up on several things that are in flight right now, and what Tom and I are planning soon.
- Removal of dependency on gsl for gnuradio-core. The wavelet blocks that were in gnuradio-core, which depend on the GNU Scientific Library for some of their functions, have been moved into their own top-level component, gr-wavelet. This means that for the majority of users, the need for installing libgsl and libgsl-dev will go away. Python users wishing to use these blocks will find them in the 'wavelet' namespace under gnuradio, and C++ users will find them renamed to wavelet_*. - Clean up and preparation for releasing 3.5.3. There are still a few more development items remaining to merge in, but we expect to tag and release this next weekend. Numerous bug fixes, the addition of support for the FUNcube dongle SDR, enhancements to support the Ettus Research UHD 3.4.0 release, and a few smaller items will make this release. - Preparation to to merge the 'next' branch back in to 'master', after the 3.5.3 release. The 'next' branch is the long-running development branch where we implement things that are either somewhat unstable, or more often, make changes to the API such that user code might break. After the 3.5.3 stable release, we'll switch the master branch to the 3.6 API by merging 'next' back into master. The largest change involved here is the official switch from GNU autotools to CMake as the build system for GNU Radio. Our plan is to focus on testing and prepping for a 3.6.0 release, then start a new long-term 'next' branch for the 3.7 API. If you normally use GNU Radio by compiling from a tarball, these changes won't affect to you until you start using the 3.5.3 or 3.6.0 release tarballs. If you are tracking our master branch and compiling from that, then once 3.5.3 releases, you need to be prepared for the change to the 3.6 API. More details on the changes will be provided in release notes and on the list here.
