Per info. pc -------- Messaggio Originale --------
This is to announce version 6.4 of GPSMan, available from http://www.ncc.up.pt/gpsman At this moment only the basic archives are available and links to the Debian, RPM and FreeBSD packages will be added when possible. This release fixes some bugs in the previous one and includes the changes in the list below. I would like to express my sincere thanks to all those who contributed code, or helped with tests, bug reports and suggestions. Best wishes, Miguel Filgueiras --------------- Changes since 6.3.2: - support for the Russian language, kindly contributed by Nikolai Kosyakoff. - new option for default on displaying items on map when reading a file; asked by Valère Robin. - changes in the edit/show windows for routes, tracks and polylines: new way of selecting points, affecting the way some edit operations work, and new Split operation that creates new items of the same type by cutting the original item at certain points; in answer to suggestions by Zvi Grauer. - side-view elevation graphs now answer to Control-key and mouse left-button showing the number of the nearest point, its altitude and cumulative distance or time; contributed by Benoit Steiner. There is a new button for displaying/hiding vertical grid lines; asked by Rudolf Martin. Distances in the horizontal axis are now shown and gaps between segments are displayed as interrupted lines. - new values in computation of track parameters: - cummulative ascent (height of climbing); contributed by Benoit Steiner. - cummulative descent, maximum and minimum altitudes; asked by Rudolf Martin. - total distance and time not considering gaps between segments. - the average speed is now computed not considering gaps between segments. Altitude related parameters only shown if there is altitude information, and total distance and time not considering gaps only shown if different from totals including gaps. - enhanced support for the least squares fit geo-referencing method that can now be used with the affine, affine conformal and affine conformal with no rotation transformations, and produce information on the deviations of control points after a least squares fit; with the kind assistance of J. B. Mehl who provided the formulas and helped with tests. - support for the EOV (Hungarian National) projection and grid, kindly contributed by Sándor Laky; asked by Attila Berenyi with thanks for his help. - the time offset (defining a time zone) in GPSMan files is now taken into account when loading them; this may affect waypoint creation dates, track points time-stamps and lap start times; in answer to a question by Stephen Berryman. - data items can now be opened from the \verb-Data- sub-menus and the list menus. - a single type of items (apart from Group) must be chosen when putting to or getting from the receiver; this is avoids synchronization problems that may occur if the connection is slow. - the "translate" command accepts parameters for overrriding the time offsets in GPSMan files. - the "geopicts" command can now use EXIF files (as produced, for instance, by "exif" or "metacam") instead of picture files, and can deal with different time-zones for track and pictures time-stamps. - importation and exportation of KML format; contributed by Valère Robin, asked by Zvi Grauer. - better support for GPX files, concerning the treatment of waypoint names and of character encoding. - importation of OziExplorer waypoint files. - examples of some commands in the section about the command-line mode in the user manual. - Garmin support: - when getting waypoints not defined by the user from the receiver, those with the same name but different positions will be renamed instead of overwritten; - experimental support for changing the baud rate of a serial communication with some receivers. GPSMan now uses the option for the default baud rate in a different way. With thanks to Andy Walls who found out a specification of the corresponding protocol, and to Klaus Ethgen for his help with tests; - explicit support for some new receivers; with thanks to all those who sent protocol lists: Wouter Amsterdam, Facundo Ariel Perez, David W.
