March build finally available
On Monday I have quitely enabled download of the latest build of SBS1 Utilities. I have not received any bug reports yet, so for those of you who have not checked it you can give it a go now. As promised I have prepared Linux, MacOSX and Windows builds this time.
From now on "nightly" builds will be available under the same location. These won't be truly nightly builds as I won't be making changes every day, but when there is a change, there will be a build. I won't be announcing them unless there are significant changes.
Download link is available in the SBS1 Utilities project section.
Another bug fixed in the SBS-1 utilities
There's a new build available for Linux, it fixes wrong byte order in the internal timer output in both HEX and decoded mode.
To download please go to SBS1 Utilities
C code optimization by Felix von Leitner
Felix von Leitner has prepared an interesting presentation about C code optimization with a few different compilers and the bad habit of writing less readable code in hope of producing faster binaries. I must admit I have changed my mind about manual optimization after reading this presentation. Below is the abstract and link to the presentation itself:
People often write less readable code because they think it will produce faster code. Unfortunately, in most cases, the code will not be faster...

Two more bugs fixed in the SBS1 Utilities
I have prepared a new build of the SBS1 Utilities for Linux. It should fix the longitude decoding issue for the Western Hemisphere as well as a minor issue in clearing the AC table which was not revealed before.
Update 1: Colin has reported a bug in the BS30003 compatible feed, the line endings were not sent correctly. This has been fixed and the latest build is available for download.
New version of SBS1 Utilities finally available!
It's been more than a year since I promised the next release of SBS1 utilities. I know most of you are disappointed, but I hope some will still be happy to eventually get it. There are a lot of improvements especially with stability of the application and better thread management, but also a few new features which I will describe in the project description.
The code was almost entirely rewritten so it obviously still requires testing. More information in SBS1 Utilities.
Old utilities no longer supported, new coming on Friday
I have recently received a few email with questions about the sbs-utilities. I would like to announce that old utilities are no longer supported so please do not send questions about them.
I am currently working on a short document with parameter description and usage information for the new utilities. Once this ready, I will publish the new tools. This is planned for Friday ( 22.01.2010 ).
Update 1:
I need a few more days, sorry.. I've been busy with other stuff.
Update 2:
I have fixed two more bugs, testing it right now.. If nothing goes wrong I will publish the Linux build tomorrow ( 2010-02-03 ) and the documentation will be added later.
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.
Yet another update on SBS1 for Linux/Mac
This is the last progress update before beta version release in July. I'm finally done with data decoding, but I am not done with my exams yet :/ This week is going to be tough, then my friend's wedding and on Monday 30th June I should finally be free to code again :) What's left to be done is TCP 30003 compatible output and some stability tests.
