The news:
It's the Fernando Poo Day release. Code has zero detectible defects
under Coverity scanning and cppcheck 1.52; this is mainly a cleanup
release to get those minor fixes into the field. If a leap-second
warning is available from GPS subframe information it is passed to
ntpd. NMEA2000 is now supported via the Linux kernel CAN interface.
There's a chrpath=no config option for distribution makers, so
chrpath is no longer a build dependency; see build.txt for
explanation.
Another major motivation for this release was to get a stable release out
in time for the Debian wheezy and CeroWrt code freezes. That has been
achieved.
Objectives for 3.7:
* NMEA2000 needs some work and cleanup - presently there's an unhappy
interaction with the PPS code when CAN is active.
* We've actually got a dev who's doing field testing with the AIS code.
We're expecting to add support for some UK and Republic of Ireland
local message types, significant as there's a lot of maritime
activity around those islands.
* Get the website fully moved to Savannah. The holdup here is that I
want to script their horrifying CVS-based web-update process rather
than doing it by hand even once, and I haven't shaken loose the time
to do that yet.
