Upstream says that using sqlite3 will become somewhere between normal
and the standard approach. Because sqlite3 is small and typically
already isntalled on systems where one would want to run gama, just
depend on it and don't bother to make it an option.
It would be fine with me to make it a default-on option, but I don't
think that's worth the complexity.
XXX The comment in the code is wrong and using std::isnan is actually
XXX the portable approach. DragonFly and other GCC users likely need the
XXX same change
GNU Gama is a project dedicated to adjustment of geodetic networks. It
is intended for use with traditional geodetic surveyings which are
still used and needed in special measurements (e.g., underground or
high precision engineering measurements) where the Global Positioning
System (GPS) cannot be used.
Adjustment in local Cartesian coordinate systems is fully supported by
a command-line program gama-local that adjusts geodetic (free)
networks of observed distances, directions, angles, height
differences, 3D vectors and observed coordinates (coordinates with
given variance-covariance matrix). Adjustment in global coordinate
systems is supported only partly as a gama-g3 program.

* Mon Mar 21 2011 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 2.96~dev
Bumped maximum channel count to 32 to accommodate GPS+GLONASS devices.
API version bumped to 5, redesign finished (changes are documented
in the Client HOWTO). cgps now handles resize signals. Code can now
link with uClibc for embedded use. Various bugs in the C++ binding
have been fixed. gpxlogger can now daemonize and write to a specified
log file. A gpsd client can now set any locale it likes, and JSON
will still be parsed using the C locale matching the daemon's. Clients
are no longer required to define a gpsd_report() hook. gpsd no longer
emits probe strings to unidentified USB devices at startup.
JSON timestamps in TPV and SKY are now ISO8601 rather than seconds since
the Unix epoch; the library handles the older style backward-compatibly.
GPGST sentences are now parsed for noise statistics when a device emits them.
AIS and RTCM2 JSON dumps have device fields. JSON reports now include 50bps
subframe data if the device allows access to it. gpsdecode can now dump NMEA
GPS binary, and subframe data to JSON. The RTCM2 code now understands and
analyzes RTCM2.3 messages 13, 14, and 31, and has been checked against another
analyzer. The ancient Sager dump format for RTCM2 is abolished in favor of
a JSON profile.
pst-geo is a set of PSTricks related packages for various cartographic
projections of the terrestrial sphere. The package pst-map2d provides
conventional projections such as Mercator, Lambert, cylindrical, etc.
The package pst-map3d treats representation in three dimensions of the
terrestrial sphere. Packages pst-map2dII and pst-map3dII allow use of
the CIA World DataBank II. Various parameters of the packages allow for
choice of the level of the detail and the layouts possible (cities,
borders, rivers etc). Substantial data files are provided, in an
(internally) compressed format. Decompression happens on-the-fly as a
document using the data is displayed, printed or converted to PDF
format. A Perl script is provided for the user to do the decompression,
if the need should arise.
The changes are fully described at
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/Release/1.8.0-News
However, the following are the highlights.
In a nutshell:
* New GDAL drivers : GTX, HF2, JPEGLS, JP2OpenJPEG, JPIPKAK,
KMLSUPEROVERLAY, LOS/LAS, MG4Lidar, NTv2, OZI, PDF, RASDAMAN,
XYZ
* New OGR drivers : AeronavFAA, ArcObjects, GPSBabel, HTF, LIBKML,
MSSQLSpatial, NAS, OpenAir, PDS, PGDump, SOSI, SUA, WFS
* Significantly improved OGR drivers : DXF, GML
* New implemented RFCs:
o RFC 7: Use VSILFILE for VSI*L Functions
o RFC 24: Progressive data support in GDAL
o RFC 28: OGR SQL Generalized Expressions
o RFC 29: OGR Set Ignored Fields
o RFC 30: Unicode Filenames
o RFC 33: GTIFF - Corrected !PixelIsPoint Interpretation
* New utility : gdallocationinfo
Backward compatibility issues:
* MITAB driver: use "," for the OGR Feature Style id: parameter
delimiter, not "." as per the spec. Known impacted application:
MapServer?
* RFC 33 changes the way PixelIsPoint? is handled for GeoTIFF
* GML driver: write valid <gml:MultiGeometry> element instead of
the non-conformant <gml:GeometryCollection>. For backward
compatibility, recognize both syntax for the reading part

alternative from mk/jpeg.buildlink3.mk
This allows selection of an alternative jpeg library (namely the x86 MMX,
SSE, SSE2 accelerated libjpeg-turbo) via JPEG_DEFAULT=libjpeg-turbo, and
follows the current standard model for alternatives (fam, motif, fuse etc).
The mechanical edits were applied via the following script:

* Tue Jul 13 2010 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 2.95
The autonomous robot submarine total world domination release!
Rationalize clearing and generation of DOPs, this makes epx/epy much
more generally available. Fixed the test productions for the udev
magic and added a troubleshooting note in INSTALL. cgps now displays
epx/epy rather than eph. Speed is now always reported if our last
two fixes were good, even if the GPS didn't compute it. Reading
packets from UDP datagrams by specifying a listening address and
port is now supported, and the regression-test driver cam now be
told to force this with -u; this enables regression testing in
chroot jails where access to ptys is locked out. AIS code now
interprets message type 6 and 8 application IDs correctly as a
Designated Area Code and Functional ID pair. gpspipe has a new -T
option for setting the timestamp format. xgpsspeed is completely
rewritten in Python, eliminating some dependencies on ancient X
libraries. We now ship a Qt binding for the client library. Note
a GCC 4.2.1 optimizer bug. gpsdcode now uses | as a field separator
in -c mode, as string fields can contain commas. Corrected error
or reporting of AIS rate-of-turn fields.

and many tweaks and little things...
* Sun Apr 20 2010 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 2.94
Error-checking in the 50bps subframe code has been greatly improved.
The Garmin GPS driver can now use libusb, if it is present, to do
device discovery. The libgps library has been split apart; the
service functions used by the daemon now live in libgpsd. This
will shave some code volume from GPSD client applications. A packaging
error that resulted in xgps not being shipped in 2.93 has been
corrected. We now have stronger checking for valid ephemeris before
extracting the leap-second offset; they should prevent many cases
where gpsd migh previously have used an invalid leap-second offset.
* Fri Apr 16 2010 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 2.93
Support for JSON dumping and parsing of AIS message types 25 and 26,
not yet observed in the wild on AISHub. Fix Debian bug #569703. by
removing non-streaming mode from the Python exerciser. Fix Debian
bug #572900 by unsetting the appropriate in-use flag in the device
array. Change the libgps default from old protocol to JSON. Add a
close() method to the C++ binding. Try to recover better from
sporadic cases of false matches to Trimble packet format from a SiRF
binary datastream. gps_poll() now returns -1 with errno not set when
the gpsd socket closes. TPV now refrains from reporting fields the
fix quality won't support. gpsmon option for listing device types is
now -L to -l can be used to enable logging (to stay consistent with
the l command). There is new FAQ material on improving fix and time
reference accuracy. New sections have been added to NMEA.txt on
error status indications and satellite IDs. New POLL command brings
back polling-mode operation. A Client-HOWTO has been added to the
documentation. gpsd no longer eats CPU when a device is unexpectedly
unplugged. Support for the TNT revolution is back (run mode only).
There is now a gpsdfake diagnostic tool that fakes being gpsd shipping
arbitrary specified data to clients.
* Wed Mar 3 2010 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 2.92
Fix a packaging error. The new Python library module was
inadvertently omitted from the 2.91 tarball. Also, improve the json
import test slightly.
* Mon Mar 1 2010 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 2.91
We have support for NMEA GLONASS sentences, and a regression test.
Clients now get a DEVICE notification on every driver switch. It is
possible to specify a TCP/IP AIS feed such as AISHub as a data
source. Serious bitrot in the NTRIP support has been fixed - it was
probably nonfunctional for several releases before this. Fixed
buggy display of satellite-used flags in cgps. xgps is replaced by
a rewrite in Python that uses pygtk, eliminating a dependency on
Motif; also, it now displays AIS information. Uniform treatment of
display-unit defaulting and -u in xgps, cgps, and lcdgps. Support
for AIS message types 25 and 26. Support for IPv6. A numeric
instability in the earth_distance() function affecting track error
modeling has been fixed. Old protocol has been removed from the
daemon; the library still speaks it.
