Mar 1, 2026March 2026 (2026-03) monthly write-up for fair-acc/gnuradio4 focusing on timing accuracy, memory efficiency, reliability, and CI readiness. Delivered cross-platform GPS/GNSS timing integration with PPS-synced tagging (GpsSource) and kernel-clock timing (PpsSource), enabling WASM-friendly timing blocks and improved synchronization. Exposed PMR resources from buffers and ports to avoid default allocations in tag paths, boosting memory efficiency in property maps/values. Enhanced lifecycle and shutdown handling for RTL2832Source with end-of-stream tagging and safer teardown. Improved device access and WebUSB handling through DeviceRegistry integration for permissions/connections and safer threading in device ops. Strengthened test coverage and CI reliability with wrap-around regression tests and stable subgraph state checks, plus macOS/Clang CI improvements and re-enabled WASM tests for Node.js. Updated Zenodo/CITATION metadata to reflect all contributors.
