v1.6.10

What's Changed

• RC 1.6.10 by @semuadmin in #254

1. Minor enhancements to UBX Config Dialog confirmation signalling.
2. Amend CFG-VALSET/GET/DEL Configuration Interface panel; X-type attributes (X004, X008, etc.) are now entered in conventional hexadecimal integer notation rather than little-endian hex strings, consistent with values illustrated in the Interface Specifications e.g. value for CFG_SBAS_PRNSCANMASK (X008) would now be entered 0x000000000003ab88 rather than 88ab030000000000.
3. Make 'Check for update on startup' 'opt-in' rather than 'opt-out'. Setting available via About dialog.
4. pygnssutils version updated to 1.2.2 - incorporates various fixes and enhancements to RINEX Conversion facility.

Full Changelog: v1.6.9...v1.6.10

v1.6.9

What's Changed

• RC 1.6.9 by @semuadmin in #251

1. Add manually-editable resizeable_dialog_b configuration setting as a workaround for screen scaling issues on some platforms (e.g. Ubuntu Wayland). Fixes #250.
2. IMU Monitor renamed to Attitude Monitor, and various internal enhancements including explicit display of NAV-PVT headVehValid status.

Full Changelog: v1.6.8...v1.6.9

v1.6.8

What's Changed

• update rinex dialog by @semuadmin in #249

1. Updates to experimental RINEX conversion dialog for pygnssutils >=1.2.1. Provisional support for RINEX 4.02 and GPS CNAV added.

Full Changelog: v1.6.7...v1.6.8

v1.6.7

What's Changed

• Rc 1.6.7 by @semuadmin in #246

ENHANCEMENTS:

1. Add preliminary support for RINEX conversion of raw observation, navigation and meteorology data from previously-saved binary data logs. Based on the pyrinexconv CLI utility in pygnssutils. NB: This is currently an experimental facility, the intention being to enhance in future releases - see pygnssutils release notes for details of current functionality and limitations.
2. Minor internal enhancements to Import Custom Map exception handling.

Full Changelog: v1.6.6...v1.6.7

v1.6.6

What's Changed

• Rc 1.6.6 by @semuadmin in #245

FIXES:

1. Update nmeahandler to cater for mixed float/null NMEA GGA alt/sep data (e.g. cold GlobalSat BU353) - Fixes #244.

ENHANCEMENTS:

1. Minor internal updates to NTRIP SPARTN handling - no longer requires a 'dummy' key for unencrypted Point Perfect Flex SPARTN NTRIP services, and will decode unencrypted payloads by default. The spartndecode_b flag in the json configuration file now only applies to legacy encrypted MQTT and L-Band SPARTN services.
2. Update deprecated Node20 GitHub actions to Node24.

Full Changelog: v1.6.5...v1.6.6

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).

Full Changelog: v1.6.4...v1.6.5

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.

Full Changelog: v1.6.3...v1.6.4

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.

Full Changelog: v1.6.1...v1.6.2

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.
