## Version 5.4.2

- there is now a FreeBSD package thanks to David Wolfskill (david`_at_`catwhisker.org).
- Dutch language support contributed by Rob Buitenhuis (rob`_at_`buitenhs.demon.nl).
- changing the datum of all the waypoints in a group can now be made from the group window.
- conversion parameters for the "Rijks Driehoeksmeting" datum corrected (thanks to Rob Buitenhuis).
- the stereographic projection and the Taiwan grid (description made available by Dan Jacobson, jidanni`_at_`yahoo.com.tw) are now supported; descriptions of the Iceland and the Netherlands national coordinates grid inserted in the manual.
- a few more definitions of ellipsoids and datums.
- coordinates for grids not having zones are now shown with only the easting and northing fields.
- A3 paper can now be used, as well as a new date format for, e.g., "2002-02-01 16:50:40" (suggested by Anto Veldre, anto.veldre`_at_`tllapt.ee).
- for adventurous users knowing Tcl/Tk: if there is a file named `patch.tcl` in the GPSMan user directory, it will be loaded just after all the GPSMan source files have been loaded (suggested by Slaven Rezic, slaven.rezic`_at_`berlin.de).
- enhanced Lowrance support and documentation by Brian Baulch (baulchb`_at_`hotkey.net.au).
- Garmin support: conversion of floating-point numbers in Tcl/Tk depends on the machine architecture and is now checked, the user being warned if there are problems; this will not be the case with little- or big-endian machines with IEEE standard floating-point numbers; i.e., most of the computers currently in use; problem solved with the help of Dragan Milicic (dragan`_at_`math.utah.edu).
- last but not least, there is now a separate program to convert the routes listed in HTML pages of the MapsOnUS site into GPSMan files; at its core is code contributed by Frank Kujawski (Frank`_at_`Kujawski.org); a better scheme for naming waypoints is being devised.
