Version 5.4.2
- there is now a FreeBSD package thanks to David Wolfskill
(david_at_catwhisker.org).
- Dutch language support contributed by Rob Buitenhuis
(rob_at_buitenhs.demon.nl).
- changing the datum of all the waypoints in a group can now be
made from the group window.
- conversion parameters for the "Rijks Driehoeksmeting" datum
corrected (thanks to Rob Buitenhuis).
- the stereographic projection and the Taiwan grid (description
made available by Dan Jacobson, jidanni_at_yahoo.com.tw) are now
supported; descriptions of the Iceland and the Netherlands national
coordinates grid inserted in the manual.
- a few more definitions of ellipsoids and datums.
- coordinates for grids not having zones are now shown with only
the easting and northing fields.
- A3 paper can now be used, as well as a new date format for,
e.g., "2002-02-01 16:50:40" (suggested by Anto Veldre,
anto.veldre_at_tllapt.ee).
- for adventurous users knowing Tcl/Tk: if there is a file named
patch.tcl in the GPSMan user directory, it will be loaded
just after all the GPSMan source files have been loaded (suggested
by Slaven Rezic, slaven.rezic_at_berlin.de).
- enhanced Lowrance support and documentation by Brian Baulch
(baulchb_at_hotkey.net.au).
- Garmin support: conversion of floating-point numbers in Tcl/Tk
depends on the machine architecture and is now checked, the user
being warned if there are problems; this will not be the case with
little- or big-endian machines with IEEE standard floating-point
numbers; i.e., most of the computers currently in use; problem
solved with the help of Dragan Milicic (dragan_at_math.utah.edu).
- last but not least, there is now a separate program to convert
the routes listed in HTML pages of the MapsOnUS site into GPSMan
files; at its core is code contributed by Frank Kujawski
(Frank_at_Kujawski.org); a better scheme for naming waypoints is
being devised.
