- Update to version 2.1.2
* 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".
