It's here folks - released for your use and pleasure on 13 June:
The latest stable release of xastir

http://sourceforge.net/projects/xastir

The xastir project is a dynamic, constantly growing and developing endevour. On the sourceforge site, you can also find information on how to stay up to date with the latest development of xastir via CVS. Already, new ideas, features and tweeks are being added.

For information on what xastir is, what it can do for your APRS experience, and information on the xastir users email reflector, visit:
http://www.xastir.org

I'm at a bit of a loss for words trying to describe what all xastir can do. The list is rather large. Over 115 different local and online map sources, weather instrumentation, kernel AX.25 support, serial TNC support, support for customizable server port filters, messaging, auto-reply, control over how those many information sources are layered and displayed, mapping bookmarks, objects, I-gate, NWS info gating to RF, map scrolling to track your icon for mobile stations, updated multi-lingual support and many other features I've left out - simply because no one station/person can use 'em all! Basically - if you've heard of it, very good chance xastir's got it. If you've an idea and it's *not* implimented, yet, mention it on the xastir users email list or enter your feature request direct to the request tracker on sourceforge. If it's a popular idea - well, no promises - but I have seen some features added and available literaly within hours of being mentioned.

Due to the numerous bug fixes, clean ups and improvements - anyone running any older version of xastir is highly encouraged to upgrade to 1.2.0 - you'll be glad you did!

And last, but not least - many, many thanks to the entire xastir-development team!!

Way to go guys. Thanks for building what, in my opinion, is the most useful, bug free and accessible full service APRS client anywhere for almost any platform.
