  • Extract more information from captured Mode S messages. DF20 / DF21 additional field etc.

  • Fix the SDRPlay interface.

  • Fix the AirSpy interface.

  • Add Hack-RF support.

  • Improve the default web interface web_root/index.html.

  • Make a working web-socket implementation for the Web-clients.

  • Add zip / gzip compression for Web-data.

  • Enhance the algorithm to reliably decode more messages.

  • Add support for USB/IP. I.e. get the USB-data from a remote Linux host.

  • Improve SBS (Serving Base Station) messages when we're it's client.

  • UAT (Universal Access Transceiver) for 978 MHz data-link.

  • Pack several web-roots into an .DLL. Thus allowing to select a web-root at runtime. Use option:

    • --web-page some.dll;1 for the 1st resource. ✔️ Done
    • --web-page some.dll;2 for the 2nd resource etc. ✔️ Done

  • SQLite3 features:

    • store airport-codes.csv into airport-codes.csv.sqlite.
    • store aircraft-database.csv into aircraft-database.csv.sqlite. ✔️ Done
    • add a build-time option to use WinSqlite3.dll (included in Win-10). ✔️ Removed
    • update the above *.csv files into *.csv.sqlite automatically or by an --update option.

  • Switch from getopt_long() to yopt_init() + yopt_next(). Ref: https://g.blicky.net/ylib.git/plain/yopt.h

  • Reception and decoding of ACARS (Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System) using:

    This will need a second RTLSDR/SDRPlay device.

  • Use pyModeS as the decoder. Spawn:

    • python modeslive --source net --connect localhost 30002 raw or
    • python modeslive --source net --connect 127.0.0.1 30005 beast using simple C-embedding.

  • Airports API Add some config-settings to:

    • expire cached records (not 10 min as it is now).
    • regenerate airport-codes.csv automatically in backgound using tools/gen_airport_codes_csv.py.

  • Curses interface (--interactive mode), add:

    • a statistics sub-window with accumulated statistics:
      • Number of unique planes/IP-addresses, network-clients, CSV/SQL-lookups and cache hits,
      • Number of network clients, bytes transferred etc.
    • a tool-tip handler; show more flight-details when mouse is over a specific call-sign.

  • Add a WebUI Interface for --interactive mode (tui = webui).

  • Add config file. Move some command-line options into dump1090.cfg. ✔️ Done. Like:

    • aircrafts = my-own-aircrafts.csv (do not use the default aircraft-database.csv file).
    • aircrafts-sql = yes (enable the SQL-version of the above instead).
    • metric = 1 (always show metric units).

  • IP Access List. Control who is allowed to connect to a service; use mg_check_ip_acl() function.

    • E.g. in dump1090.cfg add a [raw_in] section with:
      • deny4 = 113.30.148.* (a Spanish network).
      • deny4 = 91.224.92.0/24 (a Lithuanian network).

  • Download Aircraft and Airport data from Github or use git (assuming everybody has it):

    • First time: git clone https://github.com/vradarserver/standing-data.git %TEMP%\dump1090\standing-data\standing-data.
    • Periodically: git -C %TEMP%\dump1090 pull. And use the Python-script tools/gen_data.py to regenerate these files into .BIN-files.
      (Perhaps use them as memory-mapped files?)
