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.

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.

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.
