Or mine. I drastically rewrote this code to clean it up and extend it
New features include:
* Documentation (what a concept!)
- * Cleaned up, simplified command-line options
- * It understands the GLL (Geograpic position - Latitude, Longitude)
+ * Cleaned up, simplified command-line options.
+ * It understands the GLL (Geographic position - Latitude, Longitude)
sentence from NMEA 3.0.
* It now parses both variants of the VTG sentence correctly.
+ * New y and z commands support signal-status reporting and satellite
+ location -- it should no longer ever be necessary for clients to go to
+ raw mode.
+ * Massive refactoring -- one main loop now calls a self-contained
+ driver object for each type.
+ * Cleaned-up error reporting, we don't use syslog when running in foreground
+ but send all error and status messages to the tty instead.
