Marcus, The section "GRC and Doxygen Components" /should/ describe what we're doing here: http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/Move_3-6_to_3-7 Basically, we've 'hidden' the old blocks from the category trees and only expose the new versions of the blocks to help make your applications forward compatible with 3.7. According to the document sheet linked in that above page, the blocks_probe_signal_[v]x should be located under the 'Measurement Tools' category. If this isn't the case, it's a mistake and should be corrected. But you can use that document to cross reference where things should be located. I emailed out a list of the blocks that were slatted for removal a while ago to ask if anyone was using them. No on responded, so they were axed in 3.7 (still around in 3.6). We're going to put up another document once we've sorted it out and cleaned it up to make it readable by people other than Johnathan, myself, and scholars of ancient and cryptic languages. This one will list where all the blocks came from and when to in the modules/namespaces/components, including any that were removed. (The probe_signal block is not being removed.)
