JuliaGNSS/Tracking.jl: v9.0.0

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)

Abstract

Tracking v9.0.0 Diff since v8.3.2 9.0.0 (2026-10-06) build!: require TrackingLoops 2 and drop Windows (0d71e11) feat!: export only this package's API and the functions that read it (b1f34c0) feat(track)!: drive any estimator that implements step_loop (9801822) feat(track)!: remove the vector PLL and DLL, which moved to TrackingLoops (f84794c), closes JuliaGNSS/TrackingLoops.jl#3 Features ask the track state for the estimator's navigation solution (f8c68d3) hand the estimator records that name their satellite on one sample grid (54b2e7e) pvt: hand tracked satellites to PositionVelocityTime from here (b4d6790) track: keep each state's sample grid its own, and carry it into rebuilt ones (dd9baac) BREAKING CHANGES estimate_dopplers_and_filter_prompt and estimate_dopplers_and_filter_prompt! now have a method for every TrackState{<:Any,<:AbstractDopplerEstimator}. A custom estimator that overrides them with an untyped second argument is now ambiguous with it. Type the second argument as documented (measurements::BandMeasurements), or drop the override and implement TrackingLoops.step_loop instead. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 noreply@anthropic.com Tracking no longer installs on Windows, because TrackingLoops 2 depends on GNSSDecoder, whose Aff3ct dependency has no Windows build. Linux and macOS are unaffected. Stay on Tracking 8 on Windows. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 noreply@anthropic.com VectorPLLAndDLL, SatVectorPLLAndDLL, enable_vt!, disable_vt!, reset_code_discr_acc!, reset_carrier_discr_acc!, mean_code_discr, mean_carrier_discr, set_code_freq_updates! and set_carrier_freq_updates! are removed, and track! no longer runs a vector loop. TrackingLoops 2 provides vector tracking instead: its VectorPLLAndDLL(inner) wraps a satellite's scalar loop, its enable_vector_tracking, disable_vector_tracking, set_vector_corrections, reset_discriminator_accumulators, mean_code_discriminator and mean_carrier_discriminator act on one satellite's state, and its VectorTrackingState / update_navigation! close the loops. reset_loop_filters! no longer has a vector-loop case. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 noreply@anthropic.com Tracking no longer exports the TrackingLoops configuration API or GNSSSignals' accessors. Add using TrackingLoops (and using GNSSSignals where not already loaded) next to using Tracking, or qualify the names. No longer exported from Tracking: from TrackingLoops: AbstractCN0Estimator, AbstractCorrelator, AbstractDopplerEstimator, AbstractNoiseEstimator, AbstractPostCorrFilter, CN0UpdateContext, ConventionalAssistedPLLAndDLL, ConventionalPLLAndDLL, CorrelatorNoiseEstimator, CorrelatorOutput, default_carrier_loop_filter_bandwidth, default_code_loop_filter_bandwidth, default_num_code_blocks_to_integrate, DefaultPostCorrFilter, EarlyPromptLateCorrelator, get_correlator_sample_shifts, get_default_correlator, get_early_late_sample_spacing, get_noise_density, get_num_accumulators, get_weights, init_estimator_state, max_num_code_blocks_to_integrate, MomentsCN0Estimator, NoCN0Estimator, noise_observation, noise_observation_from_correlator, noise_observation_from_samples, NoiseObservation, NoiseRefCN0Estimator, NumAccumulators, NumAnts, NWPRCN0Estimator, requires_noise_density, update_accumulator, update_noise!, VeryEarlyPromptLateCorrelator; from GNSSSignals: get_band_id, get_code_frequency, get_code_length, get_codes, get_modulation, get_secondary_code. Internals that moved to TrackingLoops are no longer reachable as Tracking.X; use TrackingLoops.X, including for method overrides such as TrackingLoops.get_bit_edge_detection_confidence.
