Change log for nmea_navsat_driver package
0.5.1 (2018-12-30)
- Add support for IMU aided GPS systems like the Applanix POS/MV, whose NMEA strings typically begin '$IN'. (e.g. $INGGA). Add support for VTG messages, which contain Course Over Ground and Speed Made Good. These are useful when not using RMC messages and you don't have a heading sensor. (#30/#58)
- Add a NMEA socket driver node, which is like the existing serial driver node, but instead of attaching to a TTY handle from a serial port, it listens to a UDP port for NMEA sentences. (#32)
- Add code to handle serial exception to allow node to exit cleanly (#52)
- Cleanup CMakeLists, package.xml; using package format 2. (#28)
- Update maintainer to Ed Venator (#38)
- Add GLONASS support
- Updated driver to accept status of 9 which some novatel recievers report for a WAAS (SBAS) fix.

0.4.2 (2015-04-23)
- Fix remaining parse problem with NovAtel receivers (empty field specified for num_satellite).
0.4.1 (2014-08-03)
- Add debug logging output to the parser (PR #8, Mike Purvis)
- Add queue size arguement to publishers to fix warning on Indigo (PR #9, Mike Purvis)
- Add support for roslint and some related cleanup (PR #10, Mike Purvis)
0.4.0 (2014-05-04)
- Initial release for Indigo
- Fix #5: Empty fields spam rosout with warnings. Driver now outputs sensor_msgs/NavSatFix messages that may contain NaNs in position and covariance when receiving invalid fixes from the device.
0.3.3 (2013-10-08)
- Allow the driver to output velocity information anytime an RMC message is received
0.3.2 (2013-07-21)
- Moved to nmea_navsat_driver package
- Removed .py extensions from new-in-Hydro scripts
- Now uses nmea_msgs/Sentence instead of custom sentence type
- nmea_topic_driver reads the frame_id parameter from the sentence, not from the parameter server
0.3.1 (2013-05-07)
- Removed incorrect find_package dependencies
0.3.0 (2013-05-05)
- Initial release for Hydro
- Converted to Catkin
- nmea_gps_driver.py is now deprecated and will be removed in I-Turtle. Replacement node is nmea_serial_driver.py .
- Refactored code into NMEA parser, common ROS driver and separate nodes for reading directly from serial or from topic.
- Bugs fixed:
- nmea_gps_driver crashes when a sentence doesn't have a checksum * character ( http://kforge.ros.org/gpsdrivers/trac/ticket/4 )
- Add ability for nmea_gps_driver to support reading from string topic ( https://github.com/ros-drivers/nmea_gps_driver/issues/1 ). Use the nmea_topic_driver.py node to get this support.
0.2.0 (2012-03-15)
- Initial version (released into Fuerte)
- Supports GGA or RMC+GSA sentences to generate sensor_msgs/NavSatFix messages
