PyGPSClient Pull Request Template

RELEASE CANDIDATE v1.4.1

ENHANCEMENTS:

1. Configuration *.json file save procedure enhanced to save and restore all user-configurable settings parameters, including those for NTRIP and SPARTN Clients. NB: changes require pygnssutils>=1.0.13. Order of precedence for config settings is:

   1. *.json config file (all user-configurable settings)
   2. CLI keyword argument (where available)
   3. Environment Variable (where used)

   NB: Configuration file element names have been changed to facilitate type validation (e.g. "sockclientport" is now "sockclientport_n" to signify it takes an integer value). Some older names will no longer be recognised. It is recommended to save a new copy of the default configuration as pygpsclient.json.

2. Add scrollbars to settings frame to allow better navigation on low-res displays.
3. Add EBNO & FEC Bits values to SPARTN L-Band configuration panel to help monitor signal quality.
4. Minor enhancements to banner position formatting.
5. Add IPv6 flowinfo & scopeid fields to NTRIP Client configuration panel.
6. Minor improvements to documentation and code comments.

FIXES:

1. Fix AttributeError if opening with older json configuration file.
