Subject: [PATCH] Make terrasync more usable, more like a proper daemon.
-- writes pid to file
-- normally does not exit until signalled
-- uses blocking and non-blocking I/O as appropriate.
Note that Python's XML parser is picky about accents. Choose encoding
ISO-8859-1 for latin1 accents or UTF-8 for UTF-8 accents. (Don't use latin1
comments in UTF-8 encoding!) Use xmllint to check for the validity of your
XML files (or let ./scripts/tools/fg-check do that for you):
$ xmllint a26-yasim.xml
a26-yasim.xml:113: parser error : Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding !

* add xmlErrorGetColumnNo to get the column number of the syntax error
* pass an error at a higher level to lower levels
* detect a number of extra syntax errors
sequence could give a false negative result
* Add a 'clear' attribute to the xmlErrorGet functions that indicates whether
the error should be cleared or not
* detect more xml syntax errors
for thread safety under windows
* Add xmlErrorGetString, xmlErrorGetLineNo for syntax error detetction
* Add xmlErrGetNo for detection of, and clearing the last error
* likewise for xmlCopyNode en xmlCompareNode
* add xmlAttributeGetDouble, xmlAttributeGetInt, xmlAttributeGetString
xmlAttributeCopyString and xmlAttributeCompareString functions
* fix some small bugs and problems along the way
* add support for filtering on attribute value in xmlgrep
This patch changes terrasync so it links against the subversion
library if you have it installed. It supports people who build binary
releases for use by non-developers by removing the runtime external
dependency on having command line svn or rsync available. Since the
patch changes autoconf to detect libsvn, I'd appreciate it if people
who release binaries could verify that the detection scripting works
for their platform.
Developer warning: If you do have libsvn developer libraries
installed, terrasync changes its default option from "-R" to "-S" to
remove the command line dependency. However, Martin has not yet
uploaded world scenery into the subversion repository so it won't be
useful to fly against and you may want to specify "-R" on the command
line in the short term. Or run both.
Me: Update MSVC 7.1 project file. Need svn-win32-1.x.y_dev.zip and svn-win32-1.x.y.zip

* Doesn't download the area at lot,lon of 0,0 if terrasync starts before FlightGear is ready
* Attempt to download the Airports directory when no scenery needs to be fetched
* Add svn over http support for flag "-S", in addition to the existing default of rsync
* Add the command line flag "-T" to just refresh the KSFO surrounding area and exit
Frederic Bouvier:
Add a MSVC71 project file
* experimental clean-up / reduction on two of the FG headers:
(I'm going to await feedback on the developers list before doing more of
these, to avoiding going over files multiple times, but in principle it
seems pretty straightforward.)
* final fixes for SG_USING_STD removal
- this exposed a bizarre issue on Mac where dragging in <AGL/agl.h> in
extensions.hxx was pulling in all of Carbon to the global namespace
- very scary. As a result, I now need to explicitly include CoreFoundation
in fg_init.cxx.
- change SG_USING_STD(x) to using std::x
SimGear change. It changes all the SG_xxxx to be the 'real' includes, and gets
rid of many #ifdef SG_HAVE_STD_INCLUDES. As an added bonus, rather than
replacing 'SG_USING_NAMESPACE(std)' with 'using namespace std', I just fixed
the small number of places to use std:: explicitly. So we're no longer polluting
the global namespace with the entire contents of std, in many cases.
There is one more 'mechanical' change to come - getting rid of SG_USING_STD(X),
but I want to keep that separate from everything else. (There's another
mechnical change, replacing <math.h> with <cmath> and so on *everywhere*, but
one step at a time)
* fix a problem where the wrong node-name length was returned
* xmlgrep now also works when only the -e options is specified
* fix xmlgrep to show the correct node-name (it reported the parent
node-name in the previous version)
* add the xmlGetNodeName and xmlCopyNodeName functions
* add the xmlCopyString function
* clean up some code
'xmlgrep -v' now returns the proper node name
* rewrite the code to always recursively walk the node tree when searching
for a particular node. this is required for cases where a node with a
particular name is located deeper in a node with the same name;
for example -r /configuration/device/reference/device would fail in the
previous verion
* rename xmlGetElement to xmlGetNodeNum and add the possibility to request
the nth node with this name
* rename xmlGetNumElements to xmlGetNumNodes
The drawback is that this is approach slows down processing the files a bit,
but at least it can now find any xml node in any xml file.
Also, no more function changes are planned from now on.
* depreciate __xmlFindNextElement and use __xmlGetNode instead
* xmlGetNextElement now returns char* instead of void* for furute use
* add preliminary support for wildcards in the search path ('*' and '?')

powered groundstations.)
- Add a test for "valid" gps data.
- Pretty print gps coordinates in debug output.
a aerial photo texture. You need to determine the coordinates of the 4
corners of your image and this utility will use that to build a 3d model
in meters and tell you the information to copy into the proper .stg file.
