v1.0.43

What's Changed

• Rc 1.0.43 by @semuadmin in #69

1. Add provision for user-defined payload definition dictionary, supplementing the existing NMEA_PAYLOADS_GET and NMEA_PAYLOADS_GET_PROP dictionaries. Format should mirror that used in NMEA_PAYLOADS_GET. Can be used for proprietary product development purposes or for standard payload definitions which are not yet in the public domain.
2. Drop active support for Python 3.8 - now End of Life as at October 2024.

v1.0.41

What's Changed

• parse unknown message IDs by @semuadmin in #65

ENHANCEMENTS:

1. Enhance NMEAMessage to parse unrecognised* NMEA sentence types to a nominal <NMEA(TTXXX, NOMINAL, field_01=x...)> message structure if VALMSGID validation flag is not set, rather than raise a NMEAParseMessage error e.g.:

   A. with the VALMSGID flag not set (the new default behaviour):

   from pynmeagps import NMEAReader
   msg = NMEAReader.parse("$GNACN,103607.00,ECN,E,A,W,A,test,C*67\r\n")
   print(msg)

   <NMEA(GNACN, NOMINAL, field_01=103607.00, field_02=ECN, field_03=E, field_04=A, field_05=W, field_06=A, field_07=test, field_08=C)>
   

   B. with the VALMSGID flag set:

   from pynmeagps import NMEAReader, VALMSGID
   msg = NMEAReader.parse("$GNACN,103607.00,ECN,E,A,W,A,test,C*67\r\n", validate=VALMSGID)
   print(msg)

   pynmeagps.exceptions.NMEAParseError: Unknown msgID GNACN, msgmode GET.
   

   * unrecognised message types include those with unknown or invalid NMEA msgIDs (but valid payloads and checksums), or valid NMEA sentences whose payload definitions are not yet in the public domain (e.g. those currently commented-out in NMEA_MSGIDS).

2. Add NMEA ALF sentence definition.

3. Add validate argument to NMEAMessage and carry forward from NMEAReader

4. Add logger to NMEAMessage.

Full Changelog: v1.0.35...v1.0.36

v1.0.35

What's Changed

• RELEASE CANDIDATE 1.0.35 by @semuadmin in #56

FIXES:

1. Fixes & simplifies the derivation of NMEA NS and EW values when creating NMEAMessage objects (e.g. GNGLL) using individual keyword arguments. NS and EW will always be derived from the sign of the provided signed decimal lat and lon values and need not be provided explicitly. When creating an NMEAMessage using a single payload argument (which is effectively what happens when parsing incoming serial data streams), the value of NS and EW in the payload will determine the sign of the decimal lat/lon values in the NMEAMessage object.
