Changelog for package gpsd_client

2.2.0 (2026-07-08)

• gpsd_client: fix GPS status mapping and satellite PRN reporting (#119) Restore corrected-fix status handling that was accidentally broken during the gpsd API 10 migration. The DGPS/SBAS/RTK status checks now have real bodies again and update GPSFix.status.status instead of falling through to the next statement. This allows GPSFix to report SBAS, DGPS, RTK fixed, and RTK float states instead of always publishing a plain fix. Update NavSatFix status handling to use fix mode as the validity gate and gpsd status as the correction-quality qualifier. This prevents valid 2D/3D fixes with unrecognized or newer gpsd status values from being reported as NO_FIX, while still mapping SBAS/DGPS/RTK corrections to the closest NavSatStatus values. Fix satellite_used_prn population for newer gpsd APIs by collecting the PRN from each used skyview entry. The previous code stored the boolean "used" flag instead of the satellite PRN and assumed the first satellites_used skyview entries were the used satellites. Also harden startup by avoiding timer creation when gpsd fails to open and guarding against invalid publish_rate values before computing the timer period.
