|
|
|
|
3.17: 2017-09-07 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Repair support for non-NMEA devices requring active probing
|
|
(e.g. Garmin USB GPSes). Apply OS X build fixes. Fix a SiRF driver
|
|
bug that occasionally confused NTP. Support for Spectratime iSync
|
|
GRClok and LNRClok oscillators. gpxlogger can reconnect when
|
|
the GPS loses the fix. xgps and xgpsspeed moved to python-gi,
|
|
getting shut of the deprecated pygtk2 bindings. Default mode for
|
|
xgpsspeed is now the more interesting nautical display. gpsmon
|
|
includes the hostname with the device display. gpsprof now has
|
|
centimeter precision.
|
|
|
|
3.16: 2016-01-08 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Test rebuilds for mid-2015 leapsecond bump. Regression tests will
|
|
run even if "python" in Python 3. Build correctly on systems where
|
|
-ltinfo is split from -lncurses. Avoid some rare overflow conditions
|
|
in PPS code. Fix bugs in JSON sat-view parsing due to the JSON
|
|
parser stuffing ints into shorts. Various small fixes to AIS
|
|
interpretation. Prevent a memory leak in long-running gpsmon
|
|
instances. Fix Savannah bug #45270: serial driver does not work
|
|
properly on pipes. Fix Savannah bug #44648: GPSD won't build if
|
|
CCFLAGS contains options that are only compatible with the
|
|
cros1s-compiler. Fix Savannah bug #45342: SConstruct generates wrong
|
|
*.pc files. Fix Savannah bug #46495: gpsd_poll may crash due to
|
|
unitialized pointer (probably due to buggy FD_ISSET on host
|
|
system). Fix Savannah bug #46648: gpsd crashes and buffer overflow
|
|
is reported when terminated. Fix Savannah bug #46802: AIVDM to CSV
|
|
is broken in some weird cases. Fix Savannah bug #46804: JSON
|
|
satellite view parsing is somewhat broken.
|
|
|
|
3.15: 2015-06-03 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Fix a rare crash bug related to devices becoming inaccessible while timed out.
|
|
Accept NMEA 4.1 GSV sentences with the trailing signal-ID field.
|
|
Fixed incorrect decode of south latitudes in AIS Type 17 messages.
|
|
splint has been retired; this removes almost 2KLOC of annotations.
|
|
chrpath is no longer a build dependency. Corrected Beidou/QZNSS display
|
|
in the Python clients so the graphics don't look like SBAS.
|
|
|
|
3.14: 2015-03-14 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Pi Day release, 3.14 on 3/14 2015 at 9:26. Longer timeouts on test clients.
|
|
Skyview support for the Beidou and QZSS constellations in the NMEA0183 driver.
|
|
ntpmon rename to ntpshmmon - it doesn't actually monitor NTP itself.
|
|
New HOWTO on the website: "Introduction to Time Service".
|
|
|
|
3.13: 2015-02-26 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
compiler.h inclusion removed for gps.h so it's standalone for /usr/include.
|
|
TOFF JSON report gives the offset between GPS top of second and clock time.
|
|
A new ntpmon tool supports capturing clock samples from NTP SHM segments.
|
|
|
|
3.12: 2015-02-22 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
The daemon's power utilization has been reduced by changing from
|
|
non-blocking to blocking I/O; this may be significant on mobile devices.
|
|
Better protection against false matches of Inland AIS messages; this
|
|
required a libgps version bump to 22 (as a side effect, per-device
|
|
footprint has decreased). PPS feature is no longer marked
|
|
experimental/unstable. Sentence tag fields have been dropped from
|
|
the JSON reports. GNSS and GLONASS SKY reports are now
|
|
merged. Addressed versions of AIS Type 25 and 26 are now
|
|
handled. The 'nmea' build option is now 'nmea0183'. New 'minimal'
|
|
option sets all boolean options not explicitly set on the build
|
|
command line to false. The 'limited_max_devices' option is now
|
|
'max_devices'; the 'limited_max_clients' option is now 'max_clients'
|
|
The previously deprecated 'libQgpsmm' option has been removed; use 'qt'.
|
|
A bug fix for error modeling when NMEA 0183 reports empty DOP
|
|
fields. On OS X, the "osx-pl203" driver has been explicitly listed
|
|
as unsupported. The last remnants of the old pre-JSON query protocol
|
|
have been removed from the client library.
|
|
|
|
3.11: 2014-07-23 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
A bug that prevented track interpolation has been fixed.
|
|
We now get vertical error position and speed estimates from the
|
|
u-blox driver rather than having to interpolate them.
|
|
Some unusual AIS talker IDs (NMEA 4.0 station classes) are supported.
|
|
chrpath is no longer a dependency for building and testing, and
|
|
now defaults to 'no'. Full systemd support. Fixes for handling
|
|
large PPS offsets. Improved recovery from device flakeouts,
|
|
gpsmon argument parsing.
|
|
|
|
3.10: 2013-11-22 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
AIS: Adds gps2udp, an AIS data relay, split24 option supports
|
|
passing through Type 24 halves; support for Inland AIS; "scaled" no
|
|
longer controls dumping of controlled-vocabulary fields; instead,
|
|
the're always dumped numerically and as text, with text in an
|
|
attribute name generated by appending "_text" to the name of the
|
|
base attribute. The packetizer's handling of write boundaries not
|
|
coinciding with packet boundaries is improved. Better support for
|
|
mode and speed switching in the UBX driver. PPS message now ships
|
|
nsec. PPS events are visible in gpsmon. Time-reporting fix to TSIP.
|
|
|
|
3.9: 2013-05-01 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Note to packagers: this is an urgent release that fixes a possible
|
|
DoS or security hole! Armor the AIS driver against an implausible
|
|
overrun attack. A (different) fix for our first malformed-packet
|
|
crash since about 2007. Minor improvements to the NMEA2000
|
|
driver. New FAQ entry on how to know WAAS/EGNOS is working.
|
|
New -u and -uu options enable usec timestamps on gpspipe output.
|
|
|
|
3.8: 2013-02-25 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Fix various minor errors in the AIVDM/AIVDO description. Repair the
|
|
xmlto support in the build system. Add two more regression
|
|
tests. Significant improvements to NMEA2000 support. Upgrade the PHP
|
|
client to v3 of the Google Maps API. Support for the Telit SL869
|
|
chipset. Added a nautical-style display to xgpsspeed. Minor
|
|
improvements to leapsecond.py.
|
|
|
|
3.7: 2012-07-02 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Snap release to get the midnight change in the default leap-second
|
|
constant out the door. Port tests now pass on all Debian supported
|
|
architectures, including the Sparc and s390 that were giving us
|
|
trouble before. Pre-2003 Delorme Earthmate works again.
|
|
|
|
3.6: 2012-05-23 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
It's the Fernando Poo Day release. Code has zero detectible defects
|
|
under Coverity scanning and cppcheck 1.52; this is mainly a cleanup
|
|
release to get those minor fixes into the field. If a leap-second
|
|
warning is available from GPS subframe information it is passed to
|
|
ntpd. NMEA2000 is now supported via the Linux kernel CAN interface.
|
|
There's a chrpath=no config option for distribution makers, so
|
|
chrpath is no longer a build dependency; see build.txt for
|
|
explanation.
|
|
|
|
3.5: 2012-04-14 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Use pselect when it's available to cut down on wakeups and improve
|
|
signal handling. New {PPS} message exporting clock drift. The AIVDM
|
|
driver now handles up to 16 interleaved 24A and 24B pair-halves.
|
|
The NMEA driver interprets depth-sounder returns from SDDBT and
|
|
reports them as negative altitudes. The pps-pin option is gone, the
|
|
PPS code now just accepts any handshake pin. A bug that sometimes
|
|
caused RTCM packets to be dropped rather than relayed is fixed.
|
|
|
|
3.4: 2012-01-12 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Don't barf when chrpath is not available, fall back to static linking;
|
|
helps people not running Linux.
|
|
|
|
3.3: 2011-10-29 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Improvements to build and release-procedure documentation. Make
|
|
sirf=no build work again. Main reason for this release is to make
|
|
chrpath a mandatory build dependency and explain why in the build
|
|
documentation.
|
|
|
|
3.2: 2011-10-25 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
In the build recipe, (1) set pkgconfig properly for 64-bit Fedora
|
|
systems, (2) clean up various derived files including *.pyc on scons
|
|
-c, (3) add an option to disable stripping of binaries (strip=no),
|
|
(4) for embedded targets, add an option to disable building Python
|
|
support (python=no), (5) make the help for gpsd_group and gpsd_user
|
|
a little clearer, (6) add a force_global option to build gpsd to
|
|
listen to all addresses (rather than just loopback). The packet
|
|
sniffer now accepts NMEA packets with the ECDIS packet leader 'EC'.
|
|
SBAS satellites are now properly use-flagged in SiRF and UBX
|
|
skyviews. The -G option now works under IPv6. Cross-build is now
|
|
officially supported and instructions included. gpsprof works again
|
|
and does whole-cycle profiling. gpsd.php has Open Street Map
|
|
support. The pps-on-cts option is replaced by a pps_pin option that
|
|
lets you specify the pin; the default is still DCD. New supported
|
|
device; the Jackson Labs Fury. The chrpath utility has become a
|
|
build prerequisite.
|
|
|
|
3.1: 2011-07-28 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
The Irene release, rocking you like a hurricane and brought to you
|
|
from the storm shelter in my basement. This is a snap release mainly
|
|
to get some scons recipe cleanups out the door. Parallelized builds
|
|
now work. Small but fatal problems with reconfigure=no, netfeed=no
|
|
and sock_export=no builds have been fixed. Build recipe ported for
|
|
Fedora, Darwin, FreeBSD and OpenBSD. libgps now brings -lm with it
|
|
on systems with implicit linking. One old bug fixed (code was
|
|
previously present but broken): Under Linux, gpsd will refrain from
|
|
opening serial or USB devices that another process has open,
|
|
avoiding potential problems with class 0xFF USB devices opened by
|
|
other programs. One new bug fix: we now use an atof()
|
|
implementation that ignores locale, avoiding problems where decimal
|
|
point is a comma. One new feature: Change -N semantics so it only
|
|
suppresses backgrounding; privileges are now dropped as in normal
|
|
background operation.
|
|
|
|
3.0: 2011-07-19 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
POLL subobject name changes: fixes -> tpv, skyview -> sky.
|
|
Fix a timestamp-clobbering bug in the C library revealed by an
|
|
obscure car-nav device, the MyGuide 3100. The DEVICE 'activated'
|
|
attribute becomes an ISO8601 string; the client libraries will
|
|
still backward-compatibly read a float value. gps_unpack() is
|
|
now a documented part of the library API. There is now a
|
|
shared-memory export from the daemon that can be accessed through
|
|
the C and C++ client libraries. xgps and cgps may now display
|
|
the Maidenhead grid locator for current lat/lon. xgps displays
|
|
GST noise statistics if they are available. Codebase now has
|
|
an scons build recipe. Direct support for activation of gpsd from
|
|
Mac OS/X systemd. gpsdecode can now filter reports by RTCM2, RTCM3,
|
|
or AIS message type. NMEA HEHDT is implemented. Remote gpsd instances
|
|
can now be used as data sources via a gpsd:// URL. There is a client
|
|
for live-feeding GPSD data to Google Earth. The hotplug sequence no
|
|
longer requires Python.
|
|
|
|
2.96: 2011-03-21 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
2.95: 2010-07-13 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
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
|
|
in reporting of AIS rate-of-turn fields.
|
|
|
|
2.94: 2010-04-20 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
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 might previously have used an invalid leap-second offset.
|
|
|
|
2.93: 2010-04-16 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
2.92: 2010-03-03 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Fix a packaging error. The new Python library module was
|
|
inadvertently omitted from the 2.91 tarball. Also, improve the json
|
|
import test slightly.
|
|
|
|
2.91: 2010-03-01 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
2.90: 2009-12-04 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
GPSD-NG, the new JSON-based command protocol, is now deployed; as a
|
|
consequence, AIS is now fully supported in both daemon and client.
|
|
Detection of end of a fix-reporting cycle is now reliable;
|
|
accordingly data is accumulated from cycle start and the "J"
|
|
(nojitter) option on both server and client side is gone. We have
|
|
abandoned the gpsflash subproject since it has become apparent that
|
|
we can't do it without more vendor cooperation than we're likely to
|
|
get. Increase major version of shared library due to significant API
|
|
change. Added new driver for Motorola Oncore receivers, with help
|
|
from H�kan Johansson. gpsfake can now accept multiple logfiles,
|
|
interleaving test sentences from each. gpsd now accepts error
|
|
estimates from the NMEA $GPGBS sentence.
|
|
|
|
2.39: 2009-03-18 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Fixed potential core dump in C client handling of "K" responses.
|
|
Made device hotplugging work again; had been broken by changes in udev.
|
|
Introduced major and minor API version symbols into the public interfaces.
|
|
The sirfmon utility is gone, replaced by gpsmon which does the same
|
|
job for multiple GPS types. Fixed a two-year old error in NMEA parsing
|
|
that nobody noticed because its only effect was to trash VDOP values from
|
|
GSA sentences, and gpsd computes those with an internal error model
|
|
when they look wonky. cgpxlogger has been merged into gpxlogger.
|
|
Speed-setting commands now allow parity and stop-bit setting if the
|
|
GPS chipset and adaptor can support it. Specfile and other packaging
|
|
paraphenalia now live in a packaging subdirectory. rtcmdecode becomes
|
|
gpsdecode and can now de-armor and dump AIDVM packets. The client
|
|
library now works correctly in locales where the decimal separator is
|
|
not a period.
|
|
|
|
2.38: 2009-02-10 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
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 mtk-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 RTCM104v3 is fully working.
|
|
|
|
2.37: 2008-02-17 (Chris Kuethe <ckuethe@mainframe.cx>)
|
|
The C++ bindings, Garmin USB support, and multiple instances of ntp
|
|
pps thread starting were fixed. Handling of odd PPS signals was
|
|
improved. The eye candy in the PHP visualizers was fixed.
|
|
|
|
2.36: 2008-01-01 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Urgent fix to leap-day calculation affecting dates from today to
|
|
28 Feb on generic NMEA GPSes, Zodiacs, and SirFs emitting message 0x62.
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
2.35: 2007-12-10 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
2.34: 2006-12-14 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
2.33: 2006-06-09 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Fix bad unit conversion in V output. Clean up some man-page messes.
|
|
Fixed buggy libgps parsing of multiple responses. It's now possible
|
|
to lock gpsd to a fixed speed at compile time for embedded use. Added
|
|
NTRIP support, thanks to Ville Nuorvala. O command now ships an
|
|
explicit mode field.
|
|
|
|
2.32: 2006-03-12 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Cleanup of the xgps layout, and minor memory-leak fixes for xgps. Fix
|
|
to cope with Antares u-blox by Andreas Stricker. Minor fix to libgps
|
|
cgpxlogger. Merge cgpxlogger and gpxlogger documentation onto
|
|
the xgps(1) manual page and rename it gps(1).
|
|
|
|
2.31: 2006-02-17 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Now builds and runs under Cygwin. Correct the speed units in
|
|
synthetic NMEA. Slightly better time handling under NMEA. Daemon
|
|
now builds with all but NMEA disabled. Update the leap-second
|
|
offset. cgpxlogger introduced. Upgrade gpxlogger to DBUS 0.60
|
|
conformance. Jason von Nieda's patch may fix the chronic TSIP
|
|
driver problems.
|
|
|
|
2.30: 2005-09-14 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Prevent core dump on -d option. The .log extension is no longer required for
|
|
test loads. cgps and xgps now have configurable latitude/longitude formats
|
|
via the -l option. Introduced new 'g' command that allows clients to
|
|
specify whether they want GPS or RTCM104 information.
|
|
|
|
2.29: 2005-07-19 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Added Sony CXD2951 support, untested. All error estimates are
|
|
now nailed to 95% confidence interval. Added rtcmdecode and its
|
|
documentation; also, gpsd can now monitor serial devices emitting
|
|
RTCM104 and display differential-GPS data in a readable format.
|
|
Added dangerous alpha version of gpsflash. Work around a nasty bug
|
|
in SiRFStar III firmware version < 3.1.1. Added support for True
|
|
North Technologies Revolution 2X Digital compass. Added the
|
|
gpxlogger client for systems with DBUS support and the gpspipe
|
|
and cgps clients for general use.
|
|
|
|
2.28: 2005-07-06 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
The 2.27 source tarball somehow got truncated on upload.
|
|
Due to procedural mechanics at Berlios, shipping a new release
|
|
seems to be the least painful way to recover. This release is
|
|
identical to 2.27 except the roadmap stuff has been added to TODO.
|
|
|
|
2.27: 2005-07-06 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Arrange for the daemon to remove its pid file on exit. Fix some
|
|
buffering problems with the Python side of the hotplug interface.
|
|
gpsfake can now run sessions under a monitor like Valgrind. Most
|
|
of the gpsfake logic now lives in a module that can be used to write
|
|
other test loads; its progress baton is now optional. Fixed
|
|
some minor bugs found by valgrind audit, including (1) a slow
|
|
memory leak, (2) a possible but unconfirmed file-descriptor leak,
|
|
and (3) a subtle error in the channel-assignment logic that only
|
|
showed up with multiple sessions active. In fact, the daemon code
|
|
no longer uses dynamic-memory allocation at all. Also, the code
|
|
no longer relies on FIONREAD working. The track error field in the
|
|
O response is now computed. The project website has some new eye candy.
|
|
Client connections now time out when the mode is neither raw nor watcher.
|
|
Fixed a core-dump that could happen if C, B or I commands were issued
|
|
at odd times.
|
|
|
|
2.26: 2005-06-22 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Time DOP and total DOP are now passed on from GPSes that report
|
|
them. Ensure longitude has a leading zero when <100, for
|
|
compatibility with gpsdrive. Synchronous and thread hooks are now
|
|
separate in the client library. Packet-sniffing on a new device no
|
|
longer holds up incoming data on already-connected ones. There is
|
|
now a super-raw mode (R=2) that dumps a hex-encoding of every binary
|
|
packet received to the client; sirfmon uses it to operate through
|
|
the daemon if one is running. Support for Trimble TSIP GPSes
|
|
merged. gpsfake now works with SiRF and Zodiac logs. Python library
|
|
supports thread callbacks. New -p option of gpsfake supports
|
|
regression testing of the daemon, and there is a test suite included
|
|
with the distribution. PPS support is turned off, as there is some
|
|
pthreads problem that sometimes kills the daemon on pthreads exit.
|
|
Correct off-by-one error in GPZDA processing. The code has been
|
|
audited and cleaned with splint (www.splint.org).
|
|
|
|
2.25: 2005-05-21 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Various signedness and scaling fixes and an OpenBSD port patch for the
|
|
Zodiac driver. Command-line arguments to gpsd are now treated as a default
|
|
device list; -f is still supported but deprecated. sirfmon now tries not
|
|
changing the line speed first, so it syncs up much faster. Prevent a
|
|
potential buffer overrun in the client library. PPS-thread support is now
|
|
on by default. Lots of documentation improvements. D-BUS broadcast support
|
|
by Amaury Jacquot. Added Alfredo Pironti's thread-callback and C++
|
|
support. gpsd no longer uses the system clock for anything, so it
|
|
can be used to set that clock.
|
|
|
|
2.24: 2005-05-17 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Crazy-speed bug is finally fixed. Autobauding now starts with the
|
|
current speed of the device, not the stored gpsd speed; this means
|
|
hunting only takes place when device and GPS speed aren't matched.
|
|
xgpsspeed unit-conversion bug introduced in 2.22 is fixed. Satellite
|
|
display now really shows 12 channels, not just 11. Major improvements
|
|
in ntp notifications.
|
|
|
|
2.23: 2005-05- 4 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
For better security, the daemon now drops root privileges after startup.
|
|
gpsd-clients is now a separate RPM; this is helpful on lean systems
|
|
that don't run X. The O command now reports speeds in meters per second
|
|
rather than knots, client code has been adjusted so there is no user-visible
|
|
change. We now compute the missing components of DOP when using SiRF chips.
|
|
/dev/gps is no longer special; there is no default GPS device unless you
|
|
specify one. The intermittent processor-hogging problem introduced by the
|
|
control-channel change in 2.21 has been solved.
|
|
|
|
2.22: 2005-04-25 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
SiRF-binary driver can now get leap-second corrections from subframe data.
|
|
Device add/delete commands now send back OK or ERROR. Error-modeling
|
|
corrections from the SiRF folks. Higher precision in position reports.
|
|
|
|
2.21: 2005-04-12 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Add tag and timestamp to Y response. Use computed geoid separation as
|
|
SiRF packet 42 is flaky. Security fix: hotplug scripts now do device
|
|
add/removes through a separate local control channel. True multi-device
|
|
support is in place. When in watcher mode, device switches are announced.
|
|
|
|
2.20: 2005-03-31 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Rob Janssen's patches to fix timezone issues and improve cooperation
|
|
with NTP. License changed to BSD so linking to libgps won't make people
|
|
nervous. gpsprobe and gpsd.py are obsolete and have been removed, the
|
|
autoprobe and profiling capabilities in the daemon more than replace
|
|
them. gpsprof now ships self-contained GNUPLOT scripts to stdout,
|
|
so they can be saved and redisplayed. Zodiac sort of works again, but
|
|
occasionally spins madly during autobauding.
|
|
|
|
2.19: 2005-03-26 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Fix brown-paper-bag bug with NMEA parsing. Set SiRF GPSes to use
|
|
SBAS. sirfmon now displays SBAS parameters, and is included in the
|
|
installed programs. Add to FAQ a fix for spurious high speeds reported
|
|
in XTrac mode. We now interpret GPZDA. We no longer fudge a missing
|
|
ddmmyy in NMEA timestamps from the system clock, so replay will work better.
|
|
|
|
2.18-1: 2005-03-23 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
First cut at cooperating with NTP. Major library restructuring;
|
|
a fix is now a data structure of its own, and per-field timestamps
|
|
are gone. Use new 'o' command for watcher mode. Compute some estimated
|
|
error bounds.
|
|
|
|
2.17: 2005-03-16 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Fix packet-engine problem that made disconnect/reconnect unreliable
|
|
(important!). Fix bonehead error in interpretation of PGRME. We
|
|
don't use O_SYNC (it turned out not to be reliable) so remove it to make
|
|
life easier under Mac OS X. Allow gpsfake to accept subsecond cycle times.
|
|
Add a FAQ to the HTML documentation. gps_poll() now handles multi-line
|
|
responses. Add N command for switching driver modes.
|
|
|
|
2.16: 2005-03-11 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
New F command allows changing the GPS device after startup time.
|
|
Hotplug scripts to go with it are now installed by the RPM. The
|
|
Garmin probe is working. The -T and -s options are gone. We have
|
|
achieved zero configuration!
|
|
|
|
2.15: 2005-03-02 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
A new packet engine autobauds much more quickly, and now iterates
|
|
over both 1 and 2 stopbits. Explicit support for FV18 (the -T f
|
|
option) is gone; instead, gpsd syncs with any 7N2 device and always
|
|
ships a suitable init string. New E command, supporting the Garmin
|
|
position-error sentence or computing these numbers from DOP and an
|
|
error model. New U command reports climb/sink from GPSes that report
|
|
vertical velocity. There is a prototype driver for SiRF-binary GPses,
|
|
invoked automatically when SiRF packets present themselves on the
|
|
wire after device open.
|
|
|
|
2.14: 2005-02-25 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Pass zero magnetic variation in generated NMEA from binary GPSes
|
|
correctly. Use O_SYNC rather than timeouts to guarantee that
|
|
baud-rate change strings get to the GPS before changing the line
|
|
parameters. Introduced I command. Spatial scattergram plotting
|
|
moved from gpsprobe to gpsprof.
|
|
|
|
2.13: 2005-02-21 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Correct a bug in binary-protocol dumping (applies to Zodiac and
|
|
Garmin only). Gary Miller's patch to deal gracefully with GPSes
|
|
like the Magellan EC10X that send only GPRMC and never GPGGA or
|
|
GPGSA, and thus never set mode or status fields. Fixed buggy
|
|
handling of units options in xgps and xgpsspeed. Bumped library
|
|
major version, since seen_sentences is now exposed and drivers have
|
|
more capabilities. Stricter NMEA buffer validation. Withdrew the
|
|
change that always passed up a timestamp; on SiRF receivers, the year
|
|
part is garbage when the PVT fields are garbage. Can now recognize
|
|
SiRF GPSes. Experimental baud-switching support for Zodiac.
|
|
|
|
2.12: 2005-02-15 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Fixed core-dump bug in processing of the GLL variant that does not
|
|
include an FAA Mode Indicator. When using the NMEA driver, gpsd now
|
|
hunts for a baud rate rather than requiring a fixed one to be set.
|
|
A new 'B' command returns the RS232 parameters, and a new 'C'
|
|
command returns the update cycle time. Added gpsfake test harness.
|
|
Alpha driver for Garmin binary protocol added, requires Linux
|
|
garmin_usb kernel driver. The daemon now always passes up a
|
|
timestamp for every sentence that has one, even if the PVT fields
|
|
aren't valid.
|
|
|
|
2.11: 2005-02-10 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Added gpsprof and the capability to generate GPS latency profiles.
|
|
gpsprobe now hunts through plausible baud rates when looking for NMEA
|
|
data from a GPS. The -b (baudrate) option fixes a speed, disabling
|
|
the baud-matching logic. Also, gpsprobe can now recognize SiRF
|
|
protocol, though not speak it. Fixed a math domain error in
|
|
gps.EarthDistance due to numeric blowup on points very close together,
|
|
and another in gps.MeterOffset() that was screwing up gpsprobe plots.
|
|
|
|
2.10: 2005-02-01 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Add -N option to explicitly foreground the daemon. Fixed a bug
|
|
that was causing gpsd to keep reopening the GPS device after
|
|
leaving raw or watcher mode. Fixed Gary Miller's core-dump bug.
|
|
|
|
2.9: 2005-01-27 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Python files restored to RPM.
|
|
|
|
2.8: 2005-01-27 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Embarrassing typo fix in gps.py. Avoid buffer overrun in xgps.c.
|
|
Plug Debian security bug 292347, CVE number CAN-2004-1388.
|
|
This version issued on an emergency basis without Python libraries,
|
|
which have packaging problems due to the 2.3/2.4 transition.
|
|
|
|
2.7: 2005-01-14 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
More compiler-warning cleanups. gps client name changed to xgps.
|
|
Added --speedunits option to xgpsspeed, --speedunits and --altunits
|
|
options to xgps. Improved GPGSV parsing so it copes gracefully if
|
|
we start in the middle of a sequence. Merged Petter Reinholdtsen's
|
|
fix for GPGSA lists with holes. In xgps, satellites used in the
|
|
last fix are now dotted in the middle. New -P option to create
|
|
pidfile. Audited for potential buffer overruns, found and fixed
|
|
two.
|
|
|
|
2.6: 2005-01-01 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Petter Reinholdtsen's fix for gps.py buffering. Fix syntax errors
|
|
in udev scriptlets. Clean up after GCC warning messages. Drop use of
|
|
vsprintf, so we get a link-time error on systems that might produce
|
|
buffer overruns (all modern Unixes support vsnsprintf which is safe).
|
|
|
|
2.5: 2004-12-23 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Use gmtime instead of localtime when guessing the day or year of a date;
|
|
this avoids jitter in the day after 19:00 GMT. Added -v option to dump
|
|
version and exit. Commented out a crash-causing debug line in gps.py.
|
|
|
|
2.4: 2004-12-09 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Minor bugs in gpsd.py fixed. M now returns 0 status if GPGSA not yet
|
|
seen; this change also fixes a bug where gpsd claimed it was confused
|
|
if GPGSA had not been seen and status was set. RPM will now install
|
|
a udevd rule if the host system uses it. Don't set the online flag
|
|
on activate. HP port changes and -Wall cleanup. James Cameron's
|
|
fixes to clean up gps.c and use X timeouts rather than alarms.
|
|
|
|
2.3: 2004-10-25 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Documentation and comment fixes. Last two globals removed from
|
|
low-level interface; library should now be fully re-entrant. Mac OS X
|
|
port fixes. Q command fix from Robin L Darroch <robin@spade-men.com>.
|
|
|
|
2.2: 2004-10-18 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Documentation improvements. BSD port fixes. Bug fix: speed timestamp
|
|
wasn't initialized properly in libgps. Device is now an optional
|
|
command-line argument of gpsprobe, in line with the clients. gpsd.py
|
|
now should handle fvwm devices correctly. Values in gps data
|
|
panel are now labeled with units. Attempted fix for 2.1 bug of DTR
|
|
not being pulled low on exit.
|
|
|
|
2.1: 2004-09-30 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Various internal cleanups, including fossil removal in the
|
|
configuration machinery. FV-18, Tripmate, Earthmate and are now
|
|
enabled but can be disable with --disable-$NAME at configure time.
|
|
When you call configure with --disable-shared, libgps is linked
|
|
statically to the binaries (native libs are still linked
|
|
shared). Fixed buggy handling of -p option in gps.c and xgpsspeed.c;
|
|
it's now an optional command-line argument.
|
|
|
|
2.0: 2004-09-16 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Packaging fixes for 2.0 release.
|
|
|
|
1.98: 2004-09-08 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Only do one getdtablesize() call, otherwise we do several
|
|
getrlimits() each poll cycle. TripMate is working. gpsprobe now
|
|
deduces NMEA version. Zodiac Earthmate seems to work.
|
|
|
|
1.97: 2004-08-08 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Removed PRWIZCH support (it still passes through in raw mode).
|
|
Build Motif-dependent programs conditionally. Added gpsprobe.
|
|
Fixed a brown-paper-bag-bug in 1.96 RPM packaging.
|
|
|
|
1.96: 2004-08-31 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Implemented non-blocking writes to clients, so a stalled client
|
|
cannot stall gpsd. Fixed a nasty array-overrun bug. Timestamps
|
|
are now in ISO8601 format, with sub-second precision if the GPS
|
|
delivers that. First cuts at Python interfaces included. libgps.a
|
|
interface now bundles session fd into an allocated session block.
|
|
Automake-based build machinery from Jens Oberender; RPM now
|
|
installs shared libraries. FV18 driver added. Offline timer in GPS.
|
|
|
|
1.95: 2004-08-25 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Fixed broken 'make dist', missing display.c and Tachometer.c
|
|
are in there now.
|
|
|
|
1.94: 2004-08-24 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Fix embarrassing bug -- watcher mode did not work for more than one
|
|
client at a time. Y command now carries information about which
|
|
satellites were used in the last fix. New timeout mechanism, no
|
|
longer dependent on FIONREAD.
|
|
|
|
1.93: 2004-08-23 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Fourth prerelease. Daemon-side timeouts are gone, they complicated
|
|
the interface without adding anything. Command responses now
|
|
contain ? to tag invalid data. -D2 feature of 1.92 backed out.
|
|
|
|
1.92: 2004-08-22 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Third prerelease. Clients in watcher mode now get notified when
|
|
the GPS goes online or offline. Major name changes -- old libgps
|
|
is new libgpsd and vice-versa (so the high-level interface is more
|
|
prominent). Specfile now includes code to install gpsd so it will
|
|
be started at boot time. -D2 now causes command error messages
|
|
to be echoed to the client.
|
|
|
|
1.91: 2004-08-21 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Second pre-2.0 release. Features a linkable C library that hides the
|
|
details of communicating with the daemon. The daemon now recovers
|
|
gracefully from having the GPS unplugged and plugged in at any time;
|
|
one of the bits of status it can report is whether the GPS is online.
|
|
The gps and xgpsspeed clients now query the daemon; their code
|
|
for direct access to the serial port has been deliberately removed.
|
|
|
|
1.90: 2004-08-15 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
|
|
Creation of specfile.
|
|
|
|
?: 2004-03-21 (Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com>)
|
|
Without PRWIZCH sentence: sat. colors in gps according to ss, grey==lt20,
|
|
yellow==lt40 else green.
|
|
Added L Q and I to the protocol. Removed G and T.
|
|
Changed the timeout mechanism. Try to not return Lat/Lon/Alt if
|
|
validity is in doubt.
|
|
|
|
?: 2004-01-29 (Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com>)
|
|
Make applications null-terminate their resource lists.
|
|
|
|
?: 2003-12-20 (Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com>)
|
|
Removed <varargs.h> from netlib. Not needed, and new gcc does not support
|
|
it any more.
|
|
|
|
1.10: 2003-08-20 (Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com>)
|
|
Add install target. Fix clean target. Make GPS timeout configurable.
|
|
Make xgpsspeed build with Apple's X11.
|
|
Make sure that we don't segfault if the NMEA is badly formed.
|
|
|
|
?: 2003-08-18 (Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com>)
|
|
Use cfset[io]speed() to set speed in serial.h. Glibc is quite insane
|
|
and I am tired to chase it, so I give up. Hope this works for BSD.
|
|
Set status and mode 0 after GPS timeout (5 sec) - Cougar <cougar@random.ee>
|
|
|
|
1.09: 2003-02-16 (Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com>)
|
|
Include sys/time.h in gpsd.c for struct timeval.
|
|
|
|
?: 2002-11-03 (Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com>)
|
|
G or g command returns six-digit Maidenhead grid square (like FN12fx)
|
|
|
|
1.08: 2002-10-03 (Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com>)
|
|
Added sockopt SO_REUSEADDR to netlib.c passive_sock.
|
|
|
|
1.07: 2002-02-05 (Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com>)
|
|
em.c uses <time.h> (as it should). Removed some <sys/time.h>
|
|
where they were not needed.
|
|
Russ Nelson: Improved Earthmate support: added state machine for
|
|
EARTHA recognizer, removed alignment problems seen on ARM architecture.
|
|
Added setsockopt to add SO_REUSEADDR, so that
|
|
gpsd can stop and immediately restart. Added support for bitrates
|
|
higher than 38400, needed for the SIRF chipset.
|
|
Derrick: my patch causes longitude when under 100 degrees to be printed
|
|
zero-padded as needed, the latitude same deal under 10, fixes the GGA
|
|
sentence to not erroneously print fix type (2/3) instead of fix quality,
|
|
and calculates fix type correctly.
|
|
|
|
1.06: 2000-08-11 (Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com>)
|
|
Change from C++ (/) to C comments (/* */)for compatibility.
|
|
Added -n (need init) flag.
|
|
Don't init unless lat/lon specified.
|
|
Remove gps.mayko.com as the default hostname.
|
|
|
|
1.05: 2000-05-12 (Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com>)
|
|
(even though version.h says 1.04)
|
|
Added some includes to xgpsspeed.c for portability.
|
|
Fix problem with flags being overwritten, and using the wrong port
|
|
variable also in xgpsspeed.c
|
|
Add a note about Y2K compatibility fix.
|
|
Pass latitude and longitude into em_init().
|
|
|
|
1.02: 2000-03-17 (Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com>)
|
|
(even though version.h says 1.01)
|
|
|
|
1.01: 2000-03-05 (Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com>)
|
|
Updated to IANA port. Fixes to DGPS support.
|
|
|
|
1.0: 2000-01-02 (Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com>)
|
|
Added DGPS fixes from Curt Mills. (See README for contact info.)
|
|
|
|
0.99dgps: 1999-12-13 (Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com>)
|
|
Added minimal DGPS support by Derrick J Brashear
|
|
|
|
0.99: 1999-07-17 (Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com>)
|
|
Rockwell binary is now translated to NMEA format, so that
|
|
clients like gps will work with an EarthMate.
|
|
Added speedometer application. Thanks to Derrick J Brashear
|
|
for his work (see README for contact info).
|
|
|
|
0.96: 1999-03-04 (Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com>)
|
|
Changed EarthMate support. Rockwell binary is now almost properly
|
|
supported. Only the minimum required information is extracted.
|
|
|
|
0.95: 1999-02-06 (Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com>)
|
|
Added support for EarthMate receivers. Since I do not have one, this is
|
|
untested.
|
|
If it works, it does the following: You start gpsd with a baudrate of 9600
|
|
and give it the -Te option. If gpsd gets the EartMate it will enable the
|
|
receiver and then attempt to switch it into NMEA mode. If the EarthMate id
|
|
is not received, but a binary data header is received, then we will try to
|
|
switch NMEA too.
|
|
|
|
0.94: 1999-01-24 (Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com>)
|
|
Y2K compliant ;-) (... is NOT. Look for "FIXME:" in nmea_parse.c)
|
|
|
|
0.93: 1998-01-27 (Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com>)
|
|
using GNU autoconf now.
|
|
combined gpsd + gpsclient. No more init files, command line only.
|
|
|
|
0.9: 1997-05-13 (Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com>)
|
|
some cleanups in the ini code. version 0.9 ...

|
|
|
0.8: 1997-04-25 (Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com>)
