Thanks for the new version of Lady Heather!  I have already downloaded, compiled it and it is running well on my linux box, but I did have one minor problem.
I am running Fedora 24 (have not upgraded my Time/Radio PC to Fedora 25 yet) and followed the readme instruction:

For Fedora Linux edit the makefile and change "OS = g++" to "OS = gpp".

but making this edit did not work for me (could not find gpp).  I had to change it back to g++ and it compiled without errors.

Thanks again for this great program!

Subject: [time-nuts] Lady Heather Version 5 is now available

Lady Heather version 5.0 is now available for download from:
http://www.ke5fx.com/heather/readme.htm

Many thanks to John Miles for hosting the distribution and his work on the Windows installer, PDF documentation file, readme file, and bring an all-around good guy.

Heather now has some proper user documentation.  Check the heather.pdf file and/or the comments in the first 3500+ lines of the heather.cpp file.  Heather can be compiled for Linux (including the Raspberry Pi) and macOS.  Download the heatherx11.zip file and check the readme.txt file for compilation instructions.

There are MANY new features in Heather.  One of the main ones is support for many new receiver types.  When Heather is started it defaults to attempting to automatically determine the receiver type.  You can bypass this and force the receiver type using the new "/rx..." command line options.  Some receiver types cannot be auto-detected.  Also many receivers power up speaking NMEA and you can enable their native binary language using the /rx commands.  Native binary mode gives better information and allows controlling the receiver configuration and settings.

Currently-supported receivers include:
Trimble Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt-E
Acron Zeit WWVB receiver
UCCM - Trimble / Symmetricom GPSDOs
DATUM STARLOC II GPSDO
NEC GPSDO (STAR-4 compatible)
GPSD interface
Jupiter-T (aka Zodiac)
Lucent KS24361 REF0/Z3811A (19200:8:N:1)
Motorola binary format
Generic NMEA receiver
Trimble Resolution T family with odd parity
Sirf binary
Generic Trimble TSIP binary
Ublox UBX binary
Venus mixed binary / NMEA
Nortel SCPI-compatible GPSDOs (NTWB, NTPX, etc.)
Z3801A and compatible SCPI GPSDOs
HP 5xxxx-style SCPI
Oscilloquartz STAR-4 (via the management interface)
NVS binary
PC system clock (no receiver)

After installing Heather, you should edit the heather.cfg file (or the PROPERTIES setting for the desktop icon) for your desired configuration.  Everybody should change the "/tz" option for their time zone... it comes set up for the US central time zone.  International uses should add a "/b..." command to set their daylight savings time information.  On Windows, you can press the "n" key and that will bring up NOTEPAD to edit the file.  For the changes to take effect you will need to re-start Heather (or do a "r heather.cfg" keyboard command).

Built out of the box/zipfile for me on Fedora 24 with the stock
makefile unaltered. Running fine with my UCCM GPSDO from China. Now
all I need is Santa to bring me an antenna installer's time to get a
better outdoor antenna location...

Thanks again for this great program!

Yes, my thanks also to Mark for the wonderful program - I shall look
forward to watching the leap second on it at the end of this year.

To everyone that has made this release available. Thank you ever so much.
What a Holiday present. Can't wait to get it going on the z3801. Yahoooo.
But I can also see a raspberry pi very quickly just for fun.

Hi

Well there goes the neighborhood :) …

It used to be that the absolutely terrific Lady Heather only worked on TBolt’s.
That made the TBolt a slam dunk when it came to recommending a GPSDO.
Now that it’s even more terrific (THANKS !!!), and no longer is TBolt only, do I
dump all my TBolts ? :)

Now running for me on Linux twice : one with a KS24361 and the other with a
Res-T (rx only).

Thanks !
