OK, I just tried upgrading YAAC on my Mac (x86 running Sonoma 14.1.2). No problem.
So I'm guessing something strange with the Java runtime on the M2 (ARM) processor, or a new security "feature" in Sonoma 14.2.1. Try starting YAAC from a Terminal window, and saving all the messages that get printed to the Terminal window. There will probably be some error message in there explaining why the other menus didn't get created (such as a failure exception message before it gets to the "YAAC creating main menu bar..." log message. By the way, which version of the Java runtime are you using? In the Terminal window, type the command java -version to get it to print out the JRE version. Looking forward to your response.

Not a good start for me. I clicked the usual way of doing things and asked YAAC to download the new version. Then open it, the only thing that opened was the main window with no maps, and no menu items except the default 'YAAC'. Not sure where to go from here. I¡¯m running a MacBook Air M2 Sonoma 14.2.1. I¡¯ve been running YAAC for years on various Macs this is my first issue with a new version. Ideas? Keith, WA0?TJT Author: ARRL ARES Communicator Level 2, AEC for Platte Co.

This also required updating some plugins with custom screen views. 9. rescale line-of-sight plot to display more useful vertical range. 10. fix popup station window to be reasonable size and scrollable if there are hundreds of stations at the point (such as for the Coast-of-Africa point for stations without positions). 11. fix OSM downloader to optionally download sways (unlabeled way) files if preferences say to use them. 12. fix pseudo-APRS-IS-server plugin to properly send APRS frames upstream (working with the core YAAC fixes to support it). 13. make "right-click" fixes in smallscreen plugin. 14. fix marineports and aisdecoder plugins to support AIS-Catcher application. |
