v0.55 is the latest version and introduces the following:
- "Show all track" option and setting to dim maps
- Added NOAA nautical charts as an overlay (link). These maps and the applications are not suitable for navigation (just to reiterate that).
- I created aiscatcher.org and started sharing data from my own station here. The site also contains links to several
dashboards for stations running AIS-catcher and links to interesting (open-source) projects related to AIS and AIS-catcher. - If you want a persistent dashboard available outside the local network, please reach out (jvde.github at gmail.com) and I will add it to aiscatcher.org. It requires a UDP stream from AIS-catcher, station name and, optionally, a rough approximation for the station location. Data is not aggregated and forwarded.
- Addition of option
-N CONTEXT yyyywhich will store the settings in the web browser inyyyy. This will allow to separate setting storage when running multiple web clients. - GPS information (e.g. via serial
-e ...or gpsd-t gpsd ...) is now included in HTTP client push - Introducing data feeds with user ID to reduce security issues with data feeds,
-u x.x.x.x y UUID u. For future versions we are exploring adding HMAC authentication.
