This release of Xastir implements the following changes: - National Weather Service shapefile script updated, dbfawk files added.
- Compilation errors in OS X earlier than 10.6 fixed. - Tiger WMS server maps added. - A new set of National Map .geo files replaces those that referenced WMS products that have gone off-line since the last release. - GDAL and OGR support removed. - Xastir builds are now reproducible (builds no longer contain the build date and time). - Deprecated GraphicsMagick and ImageMagick function calls replaced with new API. - Download of tiled maps is now handled by a download manager running in a separate thread, dramatically improving map update speed. - Obsolete interface to old Tiger/Line map server removed (the server went down years ago). - OpenTrac decoding support removed. - Support for the old PocketAPRS (PalmOS based APRS) map format has been removed. Users of these old map types should transition to a more modern format. - Xastir sources no longer contains a copy of an old version of shapelib source. Shapelib support must now always be provided by an external library. - The embryonic "Xastir-qt" project has been moved to a separate repository. - "Xastir -V" will now cause Xastir to report its version number (with git sha-1 hash appended if built from a git clone) and exit. - Support for many additional satellite navigation (GNSS) receivers has been added to the existing GPS support. Prior to this release, only NMEA sentences starting with $GP were recognized. - Many compilation warnings from recent GCC and Clang compilers have been eliminated, resulting in a cleaner build. - Our Makefiles now default to "silent rules" to reduce uninteresting output during compliation. The old, noisier behavior may be invoked by adding "V=1" to the "make" line at build time. - The configure summary now shows the status of its probe for Xpm libraries under "Xpm / Snapshots".
