nham/hamlib: Update to 4.5
Upstream NEWS does not indicate an ABI break, and there is no shlib
major change.
Upstream NEWS, less most new radios, bugfixes, and minor improvements:
Version 4.5 (2022-10-30)
* New rotator utility https://www.pianetaradio.it/blog/catrotator/
* Kenwood rigs should now support AI command packets
* Add get_separator and set_separator and -S option for rigctld -- \
node-red applicability
* Add GRBLTRK rotor project -- two axis rotor
* enum meter_level_e is deprecated and will be removed in 4.6
* Add SDRPlay SDRUno rig -- can now use Data/Pkt in WSJTX
* Add ability to use cat_string to FLRig via the "w" and \
"W" commands
* Add -B/--mapa2b to rigctlcom
Allows rigctlcom to map set_freq on VFOA to VFOB instead
This will allow CW Skimmer to work with some rigs (e.g. IC7300) using FM
mode on VFOA and CW mode on VFOB and split mode transmit on VFOB.
Clicking on CW Skimmer will change VFOB instead of VFOA to allow working
dxpeditions where the fox is staying on frequency
* Add password capability to rigctld via -A switch.
rigctld -A will produce a consistent shared key for any specific \
password that can used in \password and rig_set_password
TBD The shared key can also be placed in .hamlib_settings
* Asynchronous rig data output handling to support transceive and \
spectrum data. Mikael, OH3BHX
Example for the IC-7300 to multicast on port 20001 and provide async \
rig information
rigctld --port=20001 --model=3073 --serial-speed=115200 \
--rig-file=/dev/serial/... --set-conf=rts_state=OFF --set-conf=dtr_state=OFF \
--multicast-addr=224.0.0.1 --multicast-port=20001 --set-conf=async=1
Also, spectrum data output needs to be enabled with: \set_func SPECTRUM 1
* See new set_conf option async for some Icom rigs
* Multicast UDP packet output for asynchronous data. Mikael, OH3BHX
* Rig state poll routine to serve commonly used data like frequency and \
mode from cache. Mikael, OH3BHX
* deprecated hamlib_port_t at front of rig_state structure -- new one at \
end of structure
* New rig_send_raw to send/read raw command to rig
* New RIG_LEVEL_BAND_SELECT for Yaesu rigs
* New rig_get_conf2 to replace rig_get_conf buffer overflow potential
* New rot_get_conf2 to reaplce rot_get_conf buffer overflow potential
* Added Barrett 4050 -- not functional yet
* Deprecated: rigctl commands \set_trn (A) and \get_trn (a) as they \
never worked as intended
* Deprecated: field rig_caps.transceive and RIG_TRN_* macros
Version 4.4 (2021-12-02)
* Icom rigs now default filter 2 when setting PKTUSB but user can override
* Add Android sensor as a rotator
* Added rig_get_vfo to some Icom rigs that have XCHG or 0x25 command \
capability
* Added ability to build hamlib with docker
* Faster serial i/o noticeable on higher baud rates
