localhost) were merged upstream.
* Tue Feb 10 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 2.38
Regression test load for RoyalTek RGM3800 and Blumax GPS-009 added.
Scaling on E error-estimate fields fixed to match O. Listen on
localhost only by default to avoid security problems; this can be
overridden with the -G command-line option. The packet-state machine
can now recognize RTCM3 packets, though support is not yet complete.
Added support for ublox5 and mkt-3301 devices. Add a wrapper around
gpsd_hexdump to save CPU. Lots of little fixes to various packet
parsers. Always keep the device open: "-n" is not optional any more.
xgpsspeed no longer depends on Motif. gpsctl can now ship arbitrary
payloads to a device. It's possible to send binary through the
control channel with the new "&" command. Experimental new driver
for Novatel SuperStarII. The 'g' mode switch command now requires,
and returns, 'rtcm104v2' rather than 'rtcm104'; this is design forward
for when RTCM104v2 is fully working.
position is only provided on on-machine clients. Previously, gpsd
listened on INADDR_ANY, providing position of the computer to any host
that asked. (The fix is in upstream bugzilla, with link in
patches/patch-ac.)
- Integrated Garmin Simple Text Protocol driver from Peter Slansky.
Minor fixes in error modeling and a better NaN guard stabilize the
Trimble regression tests. Remove the wired-in NTP time offset from the
NMEA driver, this could only have worked by accident and should be
set in ntpd.conf. Integrated Ashtech driver from Chris Kuethe.
- Navcom driver merged. Removed -d -f and -p options of gpsd; these
have been undocumented for a while. Make gpsd play well with pkgconfig.
Incorrect computation of VDOP when GPSes didn't supply it has been fixed.
The xgps code has been revamped and now has a much nicer interface.
Add -b (no-configuration) option as a sadly clumsy workaround for some
problems with Bluetooth receivers. Added tests for Haicom-305N and Pharos
360; separated out the tests for the unstable Trimble drivers.
32-vs-64-bit problems in the regression tests have been solved.
- Fix for byte-swapping of Zodiac control messages on big-endian hardware.
Disable iTalk by default and note that it needs to be tested. Command line
arguments can now be DGPSIP or NTRIP URLs; -d is deprecated. Added udev
rules. Address excessive processor and memory utilization on SBCs; it's
now possible to configure compile-time limits on the number of devices
and client sessions. Eliminate use of fuser(1) in gpsfake. Get gpsd
working with EarthMates again, this had been broken since 2.15. Massive
string safety audit and OpenBSD port by Chris Kuethe. J command added.
The gpsctl and gpscat tools and the gpsd.phps script were added. Switched
to lesstif from openmotif. Better autodetection of DLE-led packet
protocols (notably TSIP and Garmin binary) and of SiRFStar I and III
devices. Fixed buggy parsing and generation of PGRME.
this is a major upgrade (from 1.07), please check the homepage for
details
(I've played with 2.30 for a while and it worked well.)
