From: Miguel Filgueiras <mig at ncc.up.pt>


Hello,

This is to announce version 5.3.1 of GPSMan, available from
http://www.ncc.up.pt/~mig/gpsman.html

and in the next few days from the ftp site at
sunsite.unc.edu /pub/Linux/science/cartography

This is a minor update, that cures some small bugs (the worst
had to do with changing the map scale), and that makes it
possible to create waypoints automatically when drawing a
route on the map (suggested by Stefan Heinen). Please see
below for news concerning downloading and compatibility issues
under Debian.

I am glad to inform that GPSMan was selected for inclusion in
the next release of the Free-GIS CD produced by Intevation
(http://freegis.org).

With sincere thanks to all who helped, 

Best regards,
Miguel Filgueiras

------------------
For those having 5.3 there are small archives with the files
that were changed as well as the new versions of the manual,
meaning that downloading the full distribution may be avoided.

The Debian package is known to be dependant of the versions
of libraries we have in our machines here. For those having older
Debian installations an archive with the sources is available
that can be compiled locally (see the instructions in the
WWW pages). The new version of the C programs to lock the
serial port follow the new definitions in liblockdev version 1.0;
this affects the program getport.c, but in the aux directory we
kept the previous version under the name  getport.c-old.
