Description

RELEASE 1.2.11

ENHANCEMENTS:

1. GNSSStreamer class at heart of gnssdump CLI utility enhanced to allow a variety of writeable output medium to be used as an external protocol handler for NMEA, UBX and/or RTCM protocols. Acceptable output media types include Serial, File (text or binary), socket or Queue. Essentially this means that gnssdump can write its output data to any of these media rather than to sys.stdout (terminal).
2. New example gnssserver.py added to /examples folder. This utilises the enhanced GNSSStreamer class to implement a simple but fully-functional command-line TCP Socket Server or NTRIP Server.
