v1.6.5

What's Changed

• RC 1.6.5 by @semuadmin in #243

FIXES:

1. Fix custom map import spurious validation error.

ENHANCEMENTS:

1. Add preset description entry field to Configuration Command Recorder import facility.
2. Make TTY Presets dialog fully resizeable.
3. Update NMEA config panel to allow preset commands to be edited or entered manually before sending.
4. Update NMEA config panel to recognise correct PAIR responses for some Quectel set and poll commands (e.g. a PAIR864 Set baud rate command corresponds to a PAIR865 poll response).

v1.6.4

What's Changed

• RC 1.6.4 by @semuadmin in #242

FIXES:

1. Fix CFG-VALSET ACK-NAK error when configuring ZED-X20P as base station.
2. Fix AttributeError: ... has no attribute frm_socketserver error in Server Config panel when configuring certain devices for SVIN.

ENHANCEMENTS:

1. Improve Base Station receiver configuration handling in the NTRIP Caster/Socket Server dialog.
2. Add connected device descriptor to status bar (e.g. "u-blox ZED-F9P", "Unicore UM981S", "Septentrio mosaic-X5" or "Quectel LG290AG03"). FYI This is based on polls of hardware information messages (one for each enabled protocol) sent approximately 3 seconds after the connection is started (you may see 'unknown protocol' warnings in response to some of these messages; these can be ignored). Failing this, a generic descriptor is displayed on receipt of a message protocol unique to a particular manufacturer (e.g. "u-blox" on receipt of a UBX message, "Unicore" on receipt of a UNI message, etc.). Note that some (mainly older) devices may not return a meaningful descriptor, in which case "N/A" will be displayed. Note also that some receivers will not output hardware information messages at low baud rates (< 38,400).
3. Minor updates to serial port configuration panel (additional timeout values).
4. Mininum pynmeagps version updated to v1.1.1.

v1.6.3

What's Changed

• RC 1.6.3 - Add Unicore binary data output support by @semuadmin in #240

1. Add support for Unicore UNI binary data output messages via pyunigps>=0.1.3 and pygnssutils>=1.1.22.

Full Changelog: v1.6.2...v1.6.3

v1.6.2

What's Changed

• RC 1.6.2 by @semuadmin in #239

1. Add support for Unicore Secondary Antenna and Attitude (IMU) NMEA sentences e.g. UM98n "GGAH", "HPD" (requires pynmeagps>=1.1.0).
2. Minor cosmetic UI enhancements to improve rendering on some Linux window managers (e.g. xfce).
3. Waiting for XXX data alerts added to user-selectable widgets to clarify which type of GNSS data each widget is waiting for. Widgets are not 'initialised' (underlying grids & labels drawn) until this data arrives. As in previous versions, widgets which depend on protocol-specific data (e.g. UBX) will display a Receiver does not appear to support XXX data alert if requisite data isn't received after 10 navigation solutions.

v1.6.1

What's Changed

• RC 1.6.1 by @semuadmin in #235

1. Updates to main application window geometry (size and position) handling. Current window geometry is now saved to json configuration file as screengeom_s (e.g. "1373x798+71+44"), and will be restored on restart. Default startup geometry is centered at 75% of screen resolution.

v1.6.0

What's Changed

• RC 1.6.0 by @semuadmin in #233

FIXES:

1. Fix Load Configuration error #232 AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'upper'.

ENHANCEMENTS:

1. Add user-selectable Signals widget, displaying individual GNSS PRN / Signal ID levels and (where applicable) correction sources (receiver must support UBX NAV-SIG messages). Provides greater granularity than the existing Levels widget for UBX devices. Signal IDs are shown in RINEX format e.g. "L1_C/A", "E5_aQ", etc.
2. Add user-defined preset import facility to Configuration Load/Save/Record panel (accessed via Menu..Options..Configuration Command Recorder). This allows user to record a sequence of UBX, NMEA or TTY commands as they are sent to the receiver and to import this sequence as a user-defined preset in the PyGPSClient json configuration file. This obviates the need to edit the configuration file manually. Remember to re-save the configuration file to persist the changes.
3. Add Undock/Dock Settings panel facility, via Menu..View..Undock/Dock Settings. Settings panel can now be undocked from the main application window and displayed as a separate Toplevel dialog. If (and only if) non-transient (transient_dialog_b: 0), the settings panel can be minimized independently of the main window.
4. NTRIP Caster / Socket Server Configuration is now a separate Toplevel dialog panel, accessed through Server Config button on Settings panel or via Menu..Options..Server Configuration. Number of connected clients is now displayed in topmost banner panel.
5. Show "C/No = 0 dbHz" option ("unused satellites") is now accessible through double-right-click on LevelsView and SignalsView widgets; option removed from main Settings panel.
6. Minor cosmetic updates to various panels to improve navigation on smaller / lower resolution screens.

ENHANCEMENTS:

1. Move Configuration Command Load/Save/Record facility from UBX Configuration Panel to separate dialog, selectable from Options menu. Can now be used to record and replay UBX, NMEA and TTY configuration commands.
2. Reduce minimum File Delay spinbox setting to 2 ms (was previously 20 ms).

2. Tolerate unrecognised configuration settings in json file with warning "Consider re-saving" (previously json file would have been rejected). Unrecognised settings will be logged as INFO messages (--verbosity 2).
3. Internal enhancements to thread handling to improve dialog response at high transaction rates.
