Java Marine API v0.9.0

CHANGES

• SentenceValidator now accepts different combinations of newline and carriage
  return characters.
• GSV sentence may now contain less than four satellite infos.
• Date class; fixed month index off-by-one in toDate() method.
• SentenceReader; I/O exceptions are logged only when ExceptionHandler is not
  set. InputStream is now checked with ready() before reading.
• SentenceParser; hasValue() now checks fields content explicitly.
• DPTSentence; getMaximum() return value changed from int to double.
• XDRSentence; fixed fields indexing bug in getMeasurements().
• TalkerId enum; added ids BD, GA, GB, GI, GQ, IR, QZ, RC and VM.

NEW FEATURES

• Support for VBW sentences; dual ground/water speed.
• Support for MDA sentences; meteorological composite.
• Support for MWD sentences; wind speed and direction.
• SentenceReader; DataListener interface for receiving any non-NMEA data that
  has been read from current data source.
• SentenceReader; read interval is now configurable.
• SentenceFactory; listParser() method for listing registered parsers.
• SentenceFactory; reset() method for resetting the factory in initial state.

Java Marine API v0.8.1

Bug-fix release, ExceptionListener visibility was accidentally set to package-only. Fixed back to public.

Java Marine API v0.8.0

NEW FEATURES

• Support for RSA sentences; rudder angle in degrees.
• Support for XTE sentences; measured cross-track error.
• Support for VDR sentences; set and drift.
• Support for TTM sentences; tracked target message.
• Support for DTM sentences; datum reference.
• Support for RPM sentences; engine or shaft revolutions.
• Support for VLW sentences; distance traveled through water.
• Support for APB sentences; autopilot destination, bearings and heading.
• SentenceReader; exception listener for detecting i/o errors.

CHANGES

• TalkerId; added ids 'GL' and 'GN' for GLONASS sentences.
• SentenceReader; UDP packet may now contain multiple lines/sentences.
• SentenceParser; setFieldCount() now preserves existing/remaining values.
• RMCParser, VTGParser; if optional FAA mode was omitted, sentence field count
  is now adjusted before setting the mode.
• SentenceValidator; sentences including line terminator <CR><LF> did not pass
  validation. Fixed by adding optional newline in sentence format regexp.

Java Marine API v0.7.0

New Features

• AbstractSentenceListener; base class for creating listeners with automatic
  sentence type resolving and casting.
• Support for ROT sentences (vessel's rate of turn)

Changes

• SentenceId; fixed a bug in parseStr(), sentence id length was assumed to be
  exactly three chars. This prevented parsing proprietary sentences that may
  have ids of different lenghts.
• PositionEvent; fixed speed returned in knots instead of km/h.
• TalkerId; added new id 'CP' (Channel Pilot).
• SentenceReader; refactored and removed duplicate code.
• Javadoc improvements

Java Marine API v0.6.0

New features

• UDP/DatagramSocket support in SentenceReader.
• SatelliteInfoProvider; reports all GPS satellite information in single event.
• SentenceParser; reset() and setFieldCount(int) methods for resetting and
  adjusting the number of data fields.
• PositionParser; parsePosition(Position) and setPositionValues(Position)
  methods.
• Date, Time; added support for time zones and ISO 8601 formatting.
• ZDASentence; setTimeAndLocalZone(Time t) for setting time and offset.
• Support for XDR sentences; transducer measurements.

Changes

• SentenceReader; refactored to better support diffrent data sources, including
  some performance tweaks (should take less CPU now). When dispatching events,
  all exceptions thrown by SentenceListeners are now logged using the default
  java.util.logging.Logger on level WARNING.
• SentenceValidator; performance tweaks in regular expressions. Sentence length
  is no longer strictly checked, sentence IDs may contain now 3-10 chars.
• SentenceParser; due to changes in SentenceValidator, toSentence() does not
  automatically check sentence length anymore. Added toSentence(int) method
  for validating the length.
• TPVProvider and related classes renamed to PositionProvider.
• GSASentence; getSatellitesIds() renamed to getSatelliteIds().
• Sentence; removed unused constant ADDRESS_FIELD.
• Date, Time; fractions of second are now handled. Moved common date/time
  parsing and formatting in Date and Time classes. Fixed a bug in Time.toDate()
  causing incorrect hour of day.
• GLL, GGA, RMC and ZDA parsers; fractions of second are now parsed and
  formatted in timestamp fields. When setting/formatting values, three decimals
  is used regardless of given precision (padded with zeros as needed).
• Position; refactored and removed explicit hemisphere indicators. Hemispheres
  are now handled more automatically and indicated by positive and negative
  values of latitude and longitude. Affected classes are PositionParser,
  GGAParser, GLLParser, RMAParser, RMCParser, WPLParser and Waypoint.
