  • Support for Icecast stream metadata updates in scanning mode. When enabled,
    every time the scanner stops on a channel, current frequency is written into
    Icecast song title, which in turn is displayed in the player. Alternatively,
    textual labels can be configured for each frequency. It is possible
    to configure the amount of delay between the stream and metadata updates to
    synchronize them with the audio. There are some caveats however - read
    comments in rtl_airband.conf.example for details.
  • Added global option localtime. When enabled, rtl_airband uses local time
    instead of UTC time for output file names. (Credit: ScanOC).
  • Auto gain feature removed. RTL auto gain does not work well for narrowband
    channels. Most often it sets the gain too high which causes problems for
    auto squelch and audio bleeding between adjacent channels. Gain must be
    configured manually from now on.
  • Dropped unmaintained Windows build.
  • Reverted to power level calculation algorithm from version 2.0.2. The new
    algo didn't really do much to sensitivity, but introduced annoying clicks
    on squelch open/close.
  • Improved DC offset estimator for AM mode. This one hardly ever clicks
    on squelch opening.
  • Boosted AM audio volume.
  • Reduced squelch flapping in NFM mode.
