GNU Radio releases 3.6.4.2 and 3.6.5 are now available for download.

Release 3.6.4.2 is a bug-fix only update to 3.6.4.1, and has no new features.

Release 3.6.5 has both bug fixes and new features.

The detailed changelog for both releases is:

Important new features (3.6.5):

New OFDM PHY layer (Martin Braun, Ben Reynwar)

This release includes new OFDM PHY layer blocks in gr-digital. These
have been rewritten from scratch to allow more configurability and to use

some of the newer GNU Radio features (stream tags, async messages). Some
work remains to tie these into a full over-the-air transceiver, so further
development will be happening in the GNU Radio 3.7.x release series.

New runtime logging capability (Tom Rondeau)

GNU Radio has a logging interface to enable various levels of logging
information to be printed to the console or a file. The logger derives
from log4cpp (http://log4cpp.sourceforge.net/) which is readily

available in most Linux distributions. This is an optional dependency
and GNU Radio will work without it. See:

http://gnuradio.org/cgit/gnuradio.git/tree/docs/doxygen/other/logger.dox
