New version of SBS-1 utils coming soon
It's been a while since I released the first beta version of the utils so it's time for some update. This update will mainly focus on sbs1tcp and it will finally bring TCP30003 compatibility mode. Also the current custom data feed will be more stable and reliable. I am planning to release the new version on Monday 13th of October 2008. If you have noticed any strange behavior of the currently released tools please report it here so that I can try to fix it.
Update 1#: Next version will be 2-3 days late due to sunny weather :) I spent the last few days at the airport spotting planes so I haven't had much time to code.
Update 2# (Oct 25th): I guess you've already noticed I'm not the best at estimating time required to acomplish certain tasks.. or rather at devoting my time to one particular thing. I was away for a few days because of my cousin's wedding, but I'm back and I'll do my best to do what's been promised.

A suggestion on sbs1tcp. Maybe make the heading and speed have 1 decimal place of accuracy – that is, 271.5 instead of 272. While it doesn’t do much, it does keep a little accuracy if you want to use them for other calculations.

I have a love/hate relationship with java. After spending two hours trying to figure out how to limit the amount of scrolled text in a text window. My sniffer program kept blowing up if I let it run for a day. Ran out of memory. Now I’m a happy camper, but my head hurts…
The problem with java, is there are too many objects. I’m thinking of the King who told Mozart he had too many notes in his opera. Yes, that’s it…
To solve a lot of problems, you just keep adding object references to classes of classes who inherit other classes. Yes, yes…
Anyway sbs1hex does a good job as it is, so I can’t imagine your making it any better, except maybe as a java native method, ha.

I will modify it so that it gives decimal values, thx for the suggestion. About possible sbs1hex modifications, there is one thing that will be changed in all the tools. Packet processing will be separated from packet reception ( fifo queue + thread) because otherwise timestamps are incorrect + when client has slow connection packets would be accumulated in the system read-buffer which is not that big.
Anyway, this time I am almost 100% sure it will be released until Monday. And now for those who can’t understand why it takes so long.. imagine I had an ATC slot to make it, let’s say it was 2h, and I was delayed .. so the next available slot was in 3 weeks.. just too much to do at work and at my university. I hope you’ll understand now :)
