gpsd.spec.in

gpsd, a popular GPS daemon.

* Sat Jan 01 2005 Eric S. Raymond <[e-mail]> - 2.6-1
- 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).

* Thu Dec 23 2004 Eric S. Raymond <[e-mail]> - 2.5.1
- 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.

* Thu Dec  9 2004 Eric S. Raymond <[e-mail]> - 2.4-1
- 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.

* Mon Oct 25 2004 Eric S. Raymond <[e-mail]> - 2.3-1
- 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 <[e-mail]>.

* Mon Oct 18 2004 Eric S. Raymond <[e-mail]> - 2.2-1
- 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.

* Thu Sep 30 2004 Eric S. Raymond <[e-mail]> - 2.1-1
- 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.

* Thu Sep 16 2004 Eric S. Raymond <[e-mail]> - 2.0-1
- Packaging fixes for 2.0 release.

* Wed Sep  8 2004 Eric S. Raymond <[e-mail]> - 1.98-1
- 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.

* Wed Sep 08 2004 Eric S. Raymond <[e-mail]> - 1.97-1
- 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.

* Tue Aug 31 2004 Eric S. Raymond <[e-mail]> - 1.96-1
- 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.

* Wed Aug 25 2004 Eric S. Raymond <[e-mail]> - 1.95-1
- Fixed broken 'make dist', missing display.c and Tachometer.c 
  are in there now.

* Tue Aug 24 2004 Eric S. Raymond <[e-mail]> - 1.94-1
- 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.

* Mon Aug 23 2004 Eric S. Raymond <[e-mail]> - 1.93-1
- 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.

* Sun Aug 22 2004 Eric S. Raymond <[e-mail]> - 1.92-1
- 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.

* Sat Aug 21 2004 Eric S. Raymond <[e-mail]> - 1.91-1
- 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.

* Sun Aug 15 2004 Eric S. Raymond <[e-mail]> - 1.90
- Creation of specfile.

* Sun Mar 21 2004 Remco Treffkorn <[e-mail]> - ?
- 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.

* Thu Jan 29 2004 Remco Treffkorn <[e-mail]> - ?
- Make applications null-terminate their resource lists.

* Sat Dec 20 2003 Remco Treffkorn <[e-mail]> - ?
- Removed <varargs.h> from netlib. Not needed, and new gcc does not support
  it any more.

* Wed Aug 20 2003 Remco Treffkorn <[e-mail]> - 1.10
- 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.

* Mon Aug 18 2003 Remco Treffkorn <[e-mail]> - ?
- 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 <[e-mail]>

* Sun Feb 16 2003 Remco Treffkorn <[e-mail]> - 1.09
- Include sys/time.h in gpsd.c for struct timeval.

* Sun Nov 03 2002 Remco Treffkorn <[e-mail]> - ?
- G or g command returns six-digit Maidenhead grid square (like FN12fx)

* Thu Oct 03 2002 Remco Treffkorn <[e-mail]> - 1.08
- Added sockopt SO_REUSEADDR to netlib.c passive_sock.

* Tue Feb 05 2002 Remco Treffkorn <[e-mail]> - 1.07
- 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.

* Fri Aug 11 2000 Remco Treffkorn <[e-mail]> - 1.06
- 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.

* Fri May 12 2000 Remco Treffkorn <[e-mail]> - 1.05
- (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().

* Fri Mar 17 2000 Remco Treffkorn <[e-mail]> - 1.02
- (even though version.h says 1.01)

* Sun Mar 05 2000 Remco Treffkorn <[e-mail]> - 1.01
- Updated to IANA port.
- Fixes to DGPS support.

* Sun Jan 02 2000 Remco Treffkorn <[e-mail]> - 1.0
- Added DGPS fixes from Curt Mills. (See README for contact info.)

* Mon Dec 13 1999 Remco Treffkorn <[e-mail]> - 0.99dgps
- Added minimal DGPS support by Derrick J Brashear

* Sat Jul 17 1999 Remco Treffkorn <[e-mail]> - 0.99
- 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).

* Thu Mar 04 1999 Remco Treffkorn <[e-mail]> - 0.96
- Changed EarthMate support. Rockwell binary is now almost properly
  supported. Only the minimum required information is extracted.

* Sat Feb 06 1999 Remco Treffkorn <[e-mail]> - 0.95
- 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.

* Sun Jan 24 1999 Remco Treffkorn <[e-mail]> - 0.94
- Y2K compliant ;-)  (... is NOT. Look for "FIXME:" in nmea_parse.c)

* Tue Jan 27 1998 Remco Treffkorn <[e-mail]> - 0.93
- using GNU autoconf now.
- combined gpsd + gpsclient. No more init files, command line only.

* Tue May 13 1997 Remco Treffkorn <[e-mail]> - 0.9
- some cleanups in the ini code. version 0.9 ...

* Fri Apr 25 1997 Remco Treffkorn <[e-mail]> - 0.8
- version 0.8, some bug fixes. New MODE member, STATUS member changed.

* Mon Apr 21 1997 Remco Treffkorn <[e-mail]> - 0.7
- released version 0.7
