The Ginan team is pleased to release Ginan patch v4.1.1

Highlights:

• Fix issue reading RINEX files in Windows binaries (CRLF-ended format)
• Allow station / receivers names to start with a number in config (e.g. 4RMA00AUS)
• Introduce reading of GLONASS satellites for RNX2 files
• Various updates to the GUI:
  • Apriori position as config option in interface
  • Ability to run faster rate clocks (1 Hz -> 100 Hz)
  • SINEX downloading and validation
  • Verify downloads against CDDIS checksums
  • Use archived products if available

the Ginan team is pleased to release Ginan update v4.1.0

Highlights:

Introduction of SouthPAN SBAS capabilities into Ginan:

• Choice of running L1 SBAS, DFMC (dual-frequency multi-constellation) and PVS (Precise Point Positioning Via SouthPAN)
• Includes SBF (Septentrio) input
• Included sanity check configurations for SBAS, DFMC and PVS

Additions to the Graphical User Interface (GUI) for Ginan - GinanUI:

• "Constellations" config tab for managing code priorities for the selected PPP provider/series/project
• Support for downloading products from the REPRO3 directory for older RINEX files
• Detection of supported code priorities for PPP products using the corresponding .BIA file
• Verification of PPP product constellations using the corresponding .SP3 file

The Ginan team is pleased to release v4.0.0 of the toolkit.

Main Highlights:

• Introduce Ginan binaries for Linux, MacOS and Windows
  • The binaries can be found on the GitHub website:
    • Ginan Binaries
• Introduce a Qt-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) for Ginan:
  • Simply open RNX file and choose from drop-downs
  • Download the GUI from GitHub release page
  • Works across Linux, MacOS and Windows
  • Built using PySide 6
  • A user manual for the GUI can be found here:
    • Ginan GUI User Manual

Major Changes:

• Major refactor: use OpenBLAS / LAPACK instead of Eigen
  • Refactored RTS code
  • Refactored core Kalman filter code
  • Improved efficiency (up to 30% faster on network runs)
• Major improvement in handling state errors in pre-fit and post-fit outlier screening
• Move to vcpkg as the primary package manager for Ginan
• Add RNX2 --> RNX3 phase signal mapping in config

Just finalising the release 2 beta from 3 weeks ago. New example configs added to show you how to do some things.

Beta release of Ginan v2. Change Documentation will come out soon, but many things differ from v1.

Correct the fix from v1.5.3 where PEA marked a satellite as UNHEALTHY by not giving details in the out_pea file.

Couple of minor fortran fixes fonly
