[3.8.2.0] - 2020-08-21

----------------------

Changed
~~~~~~~

Project Scope
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

-  Call SWIG without ``-modern`` flag if new enough to make that
   inherent, thus removing warnings

GRC
^^^

-  Mako templating now ``strict_undefined``
-  Show block comments by default
-  dynamically updated block namespaces (execute imports from templates)
-  Name-lookup detection of dark color themes, adjusted input box color
   scheme

gr-dtv
^^^^^^

-  ``dvb_bbscrambler``: LUT 8B alignment (private, but relevant for
   future usable optimization)

Fixed
~~~~~

.. _grc-1:

GRC
^^^

-  incorrect "clear console" and "save console" labels
-  generator: ``flow_graph.py.mako`` now contains import for
   ``print_function`` for compatibility in Py2 generation
-  ``variable_config.block.yml`` now properly handles ``configparser`` /
   ``ConfigParser`` import
-  Change port types of all selected block on key-press cycling, not
   just first one
-  Always check for Python version in flow graph generation, not only in
   specific block types
-  Don't run stale flow graphs
-  Prevent search keystrokes from modifying flowgraph

gr-blocks
^^^^^^^^^

-  ``file_sink`` flushes contents to file on ``stop()``
-  ``file_meta_sink`` block YAML: emit proper default PMT dict
-  XMLRPC client/server block templates: use Py3 XMLRPC when possible

gr-digital
^^^^^^^^^^

-  ``soft_dec_lut_gen`` now explicitly casts ``2.0**prec`` to ``int``
-  ``map_bb``: add missing definition of static
   ``constexpr size_t s_map_size``

.. _gr-dtv-1:

gr-dtv
^^^^^^

-  Reduce ``send_frame_size`` in UHD examples (broken after UHD
   v3.13.0.3-rc1)

gr-filter
^^^^^^^^^

-  ``logpwrfft`` YAML was hiding FFT length
-  FFT frequency range calculation was occasionally off due to abuse of
   ``numpy.arange``

.. _gr-filter-1:

gr-filter
^^^^^^^^^

-  GRC band pass filter taps block: use ``firdes.complex_band_pass``
   when complex
-  ``firdes.root_raised_cosine`` gain for unity alpha

gr-qtgui
^^^^^^^^

-  ``qtgui_chooser`` regained 3.7 capability to set default
-  Frequency Sink hovering now respects set units
-  GRC blocks had optional stream inputs

gr-uhd
^^^^^^

-  ignore ``len_tag_name`` in USRP Source YAML generator python
-  ``uhd_fft``/``uhd_siggen_gui``: import order of sip and Qt
-  GRC example block errors

Added
~~~~~

.. _grc-2:

GRC
^^^

-  OS X: Meta modifier key support (eq. Ctrl on other platforms)
-  configuration setting ``show_block_comments``

gr-analog
^^^^^^^^^

-  Signal source ``cmd`` port

gr-zeromq
^^^^^^^^^

-  Message-based ZMQ blocks take bind argument, as necessary for N:1
   patterns. Changes ABI.

Deprecated
~~~~~~~~~~

.. _gr-analog-1:

gr-analog
^^^^^^^^^

-  Signal source ``freq`` port
