Please upgrade hamlib to hamlib 3

[Hveem]

The hamlib libraries are unopdated, this needs to be fixed.
The newest version is here:
https://github.com/N0NB/hamlib/tree/Hamlib-3.0

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Actually could we package up the 3.1 series, which has a lot of new fixes, and support for the newer ICOM radios

[Ervin Hegedüs (airween)]

A few hours ago the Hamlib 3.1 had been uploaded to Debian repository. Looks like Ubuntu also uses it:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hamlib. As I see, the current Ubuntu version use the Hamlib 3.0.

May be you could close this issue.

Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu better.

As mentioned in the comment above, Ubuntu 17.04 contains hamlib 3.0.1-1build1, while the upcoming 17.10 will have 3.1-6. I therefore believe this can be marked as fixed.

If you need a newer version of the library in a previous versions of Ubuntu, please follow the instructions for "Requesting a Backport" at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports#Requesting_a_Backport.
