New stable version has been released

As the development update I released last weekend does not seem to have any serious bugs in it, I have released this as a stable version
https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/ ... 2020.06.27
Note.
A stable version does not mean bug free.
All versions are likely to have both known and unknown bugs.
In this case there are several known bugs, however its not practical to hold off releasing a "Stable" version until the currently know bugs are fixed, as by that time some more bugs are likely to have been discovered.

The Stable version has been updated and now has all the updates from the last unstable release
https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/ ... 2020.08.01
Those who have installed the unstable / development version recently, do not need to update as there are no changes in this version to the last unstable version.
Note.
The RD-5R version is still considered as experimental because of the various issues in this radio, mainly caused by the inferior hardware, and hence has not been included in the stable release.
RD-5R users should continue to use the unstable version.

12th September 2020
As there have been no new problems reported with the "Development" version in the last 2 weeks I have now released that version as the Stable version
See
https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/ ... 2020.09.12
Note.
The RD-5R version is not included in the Stable release because of various unresolved problems.
The RD-5R may never be released as a Stable version because the hardware is inferior and has various problems which may not be possible to solve by changes to the firmware.

30th September
I tried releasing a new stable version, but I've had multiple reports of problems, both from GD77S owners and also from people without voice prompts loaded.
The problem relates to changes I made to auto-enable voice prompts when the radio has a factory reset or a firmware settings upgrade, but it seems that I screwed up.
I've very busy with my day job, so I've withdrawn this release and I will investigate the problem and perhaps do another release at the weekend when I have more free time

Thanks for the new release.
I just loaded it and noticed a change. The power on beep is not played anymore when the radio has "silent" selected under the sound options->prompt
I liked the silent mode when changing channels, etc, but the feedback on the power on beep (or my CW call) is reassuring during power on, even though the sound is selected for silent mode during normal operations after the power on.
Was that change done by design?
Thanks.

No.
Its a mistake. Its supposed to set the radio to Beep or Voice 1 depending if the voice prompts are loaded.
I will withdraw this version until its had more testing.
