- Update to version 2.96:
+ 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.

+ gpspipe has a new -T option for setting the timestamp format
+ xgpsspeed is completely rewritten in Python

- Changes of version 2.94:
+ Error-checking in the 50bps subframe code has been greatly
improved
+ The Garmin GPS driver can now use libusb for device discovery

leap-second offset
- Changes of version 2.93:
+ Support for JSON dumping and parsing of AIS message types 25 and 26

+ 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

+ gpsmon option for listing device types is now -L to -l can be used
to enable logging
+ Documentation updates
+ New POLL command brings back polling-mode operation
+ gpsd no longer eats CPU when a device is unexpectedly uplugged

Sat Mar 27 02:43:46 CET 2010 - vuntz@opensuse.org
- Update to version 2.92:
+ Fix a packaging error: the python library module was omitted
from the 2.91 tarball.
+ Improve the json import test.
- Changes from version 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.
- Drop openmotif, openmotif-devel BuildRequires.
- Add xorg-x11-devel, xorg-x11-libXpm-devel BuildRequires.
- Add gpsd-fix-python-install.patch to fix installation of the
python bindings.
- Add python-gtk Requires to gpsd-clients subpackage as xgps now
depends on it.
- Use a valid group for the devel subpackage.
- Do not manually strip executables: this will be done by the build
service.
