This is the first release of FoxtrotGPS since branching from tangoGPS.
The user-visible features and functionality of this release very similar
to those of tangoGPS 0.99.3; FoxtrotGPS does, however, include several fixes
and enhancements:
* Thanks to libgps, FoxtrotGPS supports both the new and old
gpsd protocols transparently.
* The gpsd server address can now be specified either by name or
by IP address.
* The saved gpsd host and port settings are used at startup,
rather than defaulting to `localhost:2947' after each restart.
* Any pending `Load Track...' windows are no longer cancelled by
geocoding.
* A bug causing geotagging of photographs to fail for photographs
taken near lines of latitude or longitude has been fixed.
* Toolbars now have a style more consistent with other GTK+ applications.
* The command option-parser has been replaced:
- The "-fullscreen" option has been replaced by a more standard
"--fullscreen" option.
- A "--display" option is now supported to specify which X11
display to use.
- A standard "--help" option is now supported as a means of
enquiring as to basic information about the program and its
invocation.
* A new `detail-scaling' feature has been added to the main menu,
allowing selection of `fewer/larger details' or `more/smaller details'.
* GUI elements directing the user to `see tangogps.org for more details'
have been removed.
Additionally, packagers and developers should note the following changes:
* All user-visible references in the program to the package-name
(including paths to icons and configuration-data) are defined in
terms of the GNU-standard symbols, "PACKAGE" and "PACKAGE_NAME",
for easy re-branding.
* The internationalisation infrastructure has been updated and
extended using intltool, and now supports translations in
foxtrotgps.desktop.
* Issues triggering warnings from the GNU Autotools and the C
compiler have been have been fixed. It should now be possible to
build using GCC with CFLAGS="-Wall -Werror".
* All libraries on which FoxtrotGPS depends are now specifically
probed by ./configure; the package should no longer fail to build
following successful configuration.
* An `autogen.sh' script hass been added to simplify bootstrapping
the GNU Autotools-based build-infrastructure.
* The output of the ./configure script's probes for depdencies has
been made less confusing by naming each dependency as it is
probed.
* The GUI has been converted to GladeXML, and is dynamically
loaded via libglade. A GladeXML UI definition can be specified
from the command-line via a new "--gui" option.
