complete revision to avoid problems in dealing with toplevel
windows caused by a bug in the Gnome Metacity window manager; thanks
to Sergei Golovan.
accurate formulae for computing distances and bearings are now
the default and should be used except on very slow computers; most
users should select them when upgrading; thanks to Valère Robin.
full support for TFW files following the description available
from the ESRI site; with the help of Jim McGuire
(jxmcguire1_at_ualr.edu).
fonts can now be fully configured, with real-time configuration
for map and plots fonts; font sizes selected in previous versions
will not be considered when upgrading and manual selection is
needed; in answer to a suggestion from Paul Gogan
(pgmail_at_gogan.org).
user-defined methods for renaming waypoints; after a suggestion
by Zvi Grauer.
changes in group window, suggested by Zvi Grauer: element names
are coloured depending on being in the data-base (only updated when
clicking or double-clicking on them), more than one element can be
selected.
tentative support for importation of waypoints from points of
interest in MapEdit Polish format files; asked by Zvi Grauer.
information on a waypoint can be sent to a Twitter account if
the TclCurl library is available; with thanks to Zvi Grauer
for his PHP script to do a similar thing.
GPSMan can now be extended through pre- and user-defined
plug-ins coded in Tcl/Tk.
patch files may now change the procedures that set up the
interface and initialise global variables.
explicit support for some new Garmin receivers; with thanks to
Ken Stephens, Geoff, Elven Decker, Bill Rainey, Thomas D. Dean, Mark
N. Reihart, Pekka Ahoi, Alex Preobrazhenskiy and Mario Borgnia
who sent protocol lists.
