GPSBabel full changelog

John Rasmussen adds 'prec' option to KML writer.
fix bug in xml_parse_time. we failed to carry any result from adding the time offset to the date.
Have the gpx reader forward namespace declarations for http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance like all other namespaces. This avoids the problem of the gpx writer potentially using the prefix when it has not been declared.
fix bug in gpx reader when processing unrecognized elements. Any existing prefix on attribute names was erroneously dropped.

Add read support for Google's "gx:track" extension to KML.
Ralf Horstmann adds Mynav Map Manager and VDO GP7.
White B. Coot adds F90G support.

Freshly added:
Add options to discard filter to discard points based on regular expressions.
Experimental support for for faster Garmin serial download speeds.
Fixes:
Windows binary formats that used seek (notably Garmin POI) could return EOF prematurely because of a bad interaction with a new zlib library.
Users upgrading from an older version will no longer presented with a character set option in the GUI that doesn't work.
TODO: list more.
User visible changes:
2014-05-12: Remove the -c handling from the GUI. This should help the problem that Peter Shepheard stumbled into.
2014-05-11: Kolesár András adds faster Garmin serial download speed option.
2014-05-11: Doc fix. CVS left the station long ago.
2014-05-11: Add options to discard filter to toss points based on regular expressions from name, cmt, desc, or icon. This is something I've wanted to add for years. Kolesár András sketched in an implementation, but I went a different route.

We have fixes:
GUI now lists help button on main screen and options pages.
TODO: list more.
By far, our deepest cutting changes are in our infrastructure:
We changed the implementation language from C89 to C++03. This lets our developers use modern, object-oriented programming and modern libraries.
We moved to the open source Qt toolkit. We've successfully used Qt in the GUI for over five years. This lets us focus on GPSBabel itself and not implementing our own OS abstractions from scratch, robust string and time handling, and much more.
We replaced time from our old representation that used the number of seconds since 1/1/1970 and had a fractional seconds component bolted onto the side (that was only sometimes used) with a QDateTime which allows us to represent time within millisecond resolution from Jan 2, 4713 BCE to sometimes in the year 11 million.
