changed to dev branch gives us the possibility to use other SDR receivers through SoapySDR

b3nn0 commented 1 year ago

Use of a stable release, rather than an ever changing development branch is on purpose. I want public releases to be reproducible, and not everyone to end up with something different. It makes supporting it a nightmare.

If anything, I would consider referencing a very specific commit, so things remain reproducible, but even then I'm not a fan of it - it is untested alpha code.

Once they release a new stable version with support, I will switch to it. If SoapySDR will be enabled in the first version, though, I'm not sure yet, as it requires additional system libraries, and hence a new major release. Time will tell.
