[Discuss-gnuradio] Announcing GNU Radio Release 3.0 RC 1

[Johnathan Corgan]

All,

We've created release candidate 3.0rc1 for testing:

http://gnuradio.org/releases/gnuradio/gnuradio-3.0rc1.tar.gz

The tarball contains most of the components that exist on the trunk;
however several have been held back because they are either experimental
in nature or will likely be moved to a 'contrib' type distribution in
the future.

Contained in release 3.0rc1 are:

gnuradio-core
gnuradio-examples
gr-audio-alsa
gr-audio-jack
gr-audio-oss
gr-audio-osx
gr-audio-portaudio
gr-audio-windows
gr-gsm-fr-vocoder
gr-how-to-write-a-block
gr-radio-astronomy
gr-trellis
gr-usrp
gr-video-sdl
gr-wxgui
usrp

Not contained in the release but still available via svn on the trunk:

ezdop
gr-atsc
gr-comedi
gr-error-correcting-codes
gr-ezdop
gr-pager
gr-radar
gr-rdf
mblock
pmt

Building GNU Radio using the release tarball is only slightly different
from building from the SVN repository.  You do not need to have automake
or autoconf installed, and you do not run the first 'bootstrap' command.
Other than that, everything else is the same, including the the build
dependencies that must be satisfied.

Release 3.0 will contain only incremental functionality over release
2.8; however, this represents the first release using the integrated
build system and combined distribution.

Please download the release candidate tarball and give it a whirl.  You
can report problems via the Trac system at:

http://gnuradio.org/trac

To create a ticket, you must log in as 'guest' with password 'gnuradio'.
Please make sure you indicate 3.0rc1 as the software version; the SVN
trunk has now been revved to 3.0svn.

I will be putting up a Wiki page for the release "soon".
