Changes: The following new models are supported: BC235, BC250, BC780, PRO-2052, BCD396T, BCD996T, K3, FT950. A huge pile of various fixes were made for IC-275, IC-475, IC-725, IC-735, IC-756PRO, IC-761, IC-775, IC-781, IC-706*, DttSP, Kenwood TH/TM, Orion, BC245, BC895, FT-100, FT757GX, FT-857, FT-897, and FT-920. The microtune backend is gone. There are new rotator backends for GS232A and PcRotor. Many fixes were brought to bindings, especially for memory channel works. There are new rigctld/rotctld daemons, similar to rpcrigd/rpcrotd but with a simpler protocol, and the corresponding client backends netrigctl/netrotcl.

Changes: This version is a maintenance release. Owners of a FT1000MP definitely need to upgrade in order to fix a regression introduced by 1.2.7. This release also has a new backend for miniVNA. Fixes were made for the Tentec Orion and Omni VI Plus. The scanning has been implemented in the AOR backend. Kenwood models TS-2000 and TS-870S can now get and set antenna. The TS-2000 backend gained strength meter calibration.

Changes: This release has much-improved documentation. This is an ongoing effort. The new models added are IC-820H, DttSP (experimental), Elektor SDR-USB (Windows and Un*x), DDS-60, FT-450, and FT-767GX. Fixes have been made to models IC-746, IC-765, IC-910, Kenwood's, FT1000MP, FT817, and others. A new toy, the rigsmtr program, has been added to graph polar signal strength. There's also a new experimental rigctld rig daemon, with a simple protocol for scripting languages and radio applications.
