- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Cleanup of the xgps layout, and minor memory-leak fixes for xgps. Fix
to cope with Antares uBlox by Andreas Stricker. Minor fix to libgps
cgpxlogger. Merge cgpxlogger and gpxlogger documentation onto
the xgps(1) manual page and rename it gps(1).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- The 2.27 source tarball somehow got truncated on upload.
Due to procedural mechanics at berlios.de, 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.
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Python files restored to RPM.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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>.
- 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.
- 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.
- Packaging fixes for 2.0 release.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Fixed broken 'make dist', missing display.c and Tachometer.c
are in there now.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Creation of specfile.
- 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.
- Make applications null-terminate their resource lists.
- Removed <varargs.h> from netlib. Not needed, and new gcc does not support
it any more.
- 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.
- 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>
- Include sys/time.h in gpsd.c for struct timeval.
- G or g command returns six-digit Maidenhead grid square (like FN12fx)
- Added sockopt SO_REUSEADDR to netlib.c passive_sock.
- 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.
- 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.
- (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().
- (even though version.h says 1.01)
- Updated to IANA port.
- Fixes to DGPS support.
- Added DGPS fixes from Curt Mills. (See README for contact info.)
- Added minimal DGPS support by Derrick J Brashear
- 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).
- Changed EarthMate support. Rockwell binary is now almost properly
supported. Only the minimum required information is extracted.
- 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.
- Y2K compliant ;-) (... is NOT. Look for "FIXME:" in nmea_parse.c)
- using GNU autoconf now.
- combined gpsd + gpsclient. No more init files, command line only.
- some cleanups in the ini code. version 0.9 ...
- version 0.8, some bug fixes. New MODE member, STATUS member changed.
- released version 0.7
