Changelog for gpsd-2.8-1.i386.rpm :

* Thu Jan 27 2005 Eric S. Raymond - 2.8-1Embarrassing typo fix in gps.py. Avoid buffer overrun in xgps.c. Plug Debian security bug 292347. This version issued on an emergency basis without Python libraries, which have packaging problems due to the 2.3/2.4 transition.
* Fri Jan 14 2005 Eric S. Raymond - 2.7-1- 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.
* Sat Jan 01 2005 Eric S. Raymond - 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 - 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 09 2004 Eric S. Raymond - 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.
* Tue Oct 26 2004 Eric S. Raymond - 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 .
* Tue Oct 19 2004 Eric S. Raymond - 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.
* Fri Oct 01 2004 Eric S. Raymond - 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.
* Fri Sep 17 2004 Eric S. Raymond - 2.0-1- Packaging fixes for 2.0 release.
* Thu Sep 09 2004 Eric S. Raymond - 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.
* Thu Sep 09 2004 Eric S. Raymond - 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.
* Wed Sep 01 2004 Eric S. Raymond - 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.
* Thu Aug 26 2004 Eric S. Raymond - 1.95-1- Fixed broken \'make dist\', missing display.c and Tachometer.c are in there now.
* Wed Aug 25 2004 Eric S. Raymond - 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.
* Tue Aug 24 2004 Eric S. Raymond - 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.
* Mon Aug 23 2004 Eric S. Raymond - 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.
* Sun Aug 22 2004 Eric S. Raymond - 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.
* Mon Aug 16 2004 Eric S. Raymond - 1.90- Creation of specfile.
* Sun Mar 21 2004 Remco Treffkorn - ?- 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 - ?- Make applications null-terminate their resource lists.
* Sat Dec 20 2003 Remco Treffkorn - ?- Removed from netlib. Not needed, and new gcc does not support it any more.
* Thu Aug 21 2003 Remco Treffkorn - 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.
* Tue Aug 19 2003 Remco Treffkorn - ?- 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
* Sun Feb 16 2003 Remco Treffkorn - 1.09- Include sys/time.h in gpsd.c for struct timeval.
* Sun Nov 03 2002 Remco Treffkorn - ?- G or g command returns six-digit Maidenhead grid square (like FN12fx)
* Fri Oct 04 2002 Remco Treffkorn - 1.08- Added sockopt SO_REUSEADDR to netlib.c passive_sock.
* Tue Feb 05 2002 Remco Treffkorn - 1.07- What happend with 1.02 to 1.06?- em.c uses (as it should). Removed some - where they were not needed.
* Sun Mar 05 2000 Remco Treffkorn - 1.01- Updated to IANA port.- Fixes to DGPS support.
* Sun Jan 02 2000 Remco Treffkorn - 1.0- Added DGPS fixes from Curt Mills. (See README for contact info.)
* Mon Dec 13 1999 Remco Treffkorn - 0.99dgps- Added minimal DGPS support by Derrick J Brashear
* Sun Jul 18 1999 Remco Treffkorn - 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 - 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 - 0.95- Added suport 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 - 0.94- Y2K compliant ;-) (... is NOT. Look for \"FIXME:\" in nmea_parse.c)
* Tue Jan 27 1998 Remco Treffkorn - 0.93- using GNU autoconf now.- combined gpsd + gpsclient. No more init files, command line only.
* Wed May 14 1997 Remco Treffkorn - 0.9- some cleanups in the ini code. version 0.9 ...
* Sat Apr 26 1997 Remco Treffkorn - 0.8- version 0.8, some bug fixes. New MODE member, STATUS member changed.
* Tue Apr 22 1997 Remco Treffkorn - 0.7- released version 0.7
