* Repository head
- Adds gps2udp, a utility for relaying AIS data to AIS aggregation
- sites. Alpha-stage partial unpacking of RTCM3 JSON in the client
- library. Tweaks of Evermore support remove code and suppress
- spurious error messages. Minor fix to AIVDM unpacking of Type 123
- radio field. Longer maximum path names (required an object library
- version bump). New split24 option supports passing through unmatched
- AIS type 24 message halves. ITU-R 1371-4 model and serial fields are
- extracted from AIS Type 24s. The packet getter's handling of write
- boundaries not coinciding with packet boundaries is improved. The
- "scaled" flag no longer controls dumping of AIS controlled-vocabulary
- fields; instead, they are now always dumped both numerically and as
- text, with the text form in an attribute name generated by appending
- "_text" to the name of the base attribute. Full support (untested) for
- Inland AIS extended sentences. In gpsmon, entering a command no longer
- pauses packet display. Better support for mode and speed switching in the
- UBX driver. Be a bit more forgiving about AIS Type 5 message lengths.
- PPS drift message now ships nsec rather than msec. PPS events are
- visible in gpsmon.
