RC 1.7.1

PyGPSClient Pull Request Template

Description

FIXES:

1. Fix 'memory leak' issue (socket server message queue filling up when server not active).
2. Internal refactoring to improve long-term stability and responsiveness and reliability of extended datalogging.
3. Fix u-blox preset configuration validation which was preventing some valid preset commands.

ENHANCEMENTS:

1. Display UBX NAV-DAHEADING data from dual-antenna receivers such as the u-blox ZED-X20D in the "Rover Plot" widget.
2. Update portid designation in System Monitor I/O widget (X20 assigns different MON-COMMS.portids to F9P).
3. Add satellite filter entry field to RINEX conversion dialog (requires pygnssutils>=1.2.6).
4. "Meta Only" parsing mode added. When enabled, incoming raw data will only be parsed for basic metadata (protocol, identity, length) rather than individual data attributes. This mode is significantly quicker than full parsing, but individual data attributes will no longer be available and PyGPSClient's widgets other than the console will not be updated. Utilises the new GNSSReader parsing=2 argument. Requires pygnssutils>=1.2.6.

Fixes #257
