NEW MODULES:

eqmaxel - MAXEL Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE) from Dong Hoon Sheen integrated as an 
earthworm module that can be bolted on as another locator in the megamodule.
I listed this here becuase we made mods in 2018 to this module.
Paul Friberg and Dong Hoon Sheen July 20, 2017

pick_ffp - eBEAR tauC and Pd picker based off of Pick_FP instead of pick_ew.
Jin Koo Lee February 25, 2018

pick_gm - eBEAR tauC and Pd ground motion packet generator in a real-time sense (not pick based).
Jin Koo Lee February 25, 2018

buildinfo - not really a module, but a command that will print out the
build information, including the data and time of the build, and the
EW_BITS, 32 or 64, of the build.  For example:

buildinfo: Linux EARTHWORM-64 build of Mar 16 2019 16:44:24

On Windows systems, the MSVC compiler version, the target Windows release,
and the Windows SDK for the build are printed.  On *nix systems, no
additional information is printed.

MODIFICATIONS/BUG FIXES TO EXISTING MODULES:

Note:
Check library changes at the bottom for a more complete picture as applications
that used these libraries were changed accordingly

eqassemble
Added output of TYPE_EVENT_SCNL message to the Debug flag (for use as input testing to eqmaxel).
Paul Friberg July 18, 2017

binder_ew
Fixed a number of edge cases dealing with quake_id.d (thanks to Jin Koo Lee) and also changed the travel
time lookup to allow for finer grained station locations relative to the earthquake. The prior system
dealt in convering travel times to an integer in tenths of a second and that is not enough resolution for
mines or small scale networks less than a kilometer on an edge.
Paul Friberg, version 1.0.38 2019.02.14

nll_mgr
NonLinLoc manager had Debug flag added in for review of actions and a version number was added for tracking.
Paul Friberg, October 23, 2018

ewhtmlemail
Major modifications to using Google Earth maps, there are new GoogleMap key and secret settings in the .d
Paul Friberg July 2018

gmewhtmlemail
Many modifications for USBR for the dam safety division
Paul Friberg & Scott Hunter  Jan to May 2018

restart/copystatus:
Ticket #683 http://earthworm.isti.com/trac/earthworm/ticket/683
Removed 'TypeRestart' from types copystatus is to copy. Rewrote 'restart'
to look up statmgr ring and write to that directly, if it exists
Alexander Schnackenberg February 13, 2019

Hypo71PC
Modifications to ensure a safe crossing of the Greenwich Meridian (lon = 0°)
(bug present in the original version of Hypo71, revealed in the Pyrenees where
the pathological case "lon(closest station) x lon(epicenter) < 0 is not uncommon)
M. Sylvander (Toulouse, France) November 30, 2018

hyp2000/hyp2000_mgr
Upgraded to version 1.42 which cleaned up a CRE bug and a licensing issue with some sorting routines.
(CRE bug fix reported by Jim Pechmann)
Fred Klein & Paul Friberg April 23, 2018
Upgraded to version 1.43 which fixed some infinite loop cases found at AVO
Larry Baker & Paul Friberg December 2018

sniffwave
Added out-of-order packet message to the previous gap and overlap checks (gap and overlap) 
Paul Friberg March 15, 2018

ms2tank
Now echo's back the MINISEED encoding format in the file if it is not compatible with the program. 
Previously it just said that the encoding format was not one of the allowed ones, but that is not
enough information. For instance IEEE Double's are not handled yet, since TRACEBUF2 only allows
integer counts.
Paul Friberg        October 11, 2017

ewthresh
Changed computation of bias to a rolling average; added gap detection & resetting of 
various timers & bias computation when gap detected.  Added gap threshold & window size
paramaters to config file (optional).
Scott Hunter        September 20, 2017

decimate
Cleaned up some compilation issues on newer versions of ubuntu (16). 
Paul Friberg		September 7, 2017

ew2rsam
Added slicing the input data packets into 1 second packets before processing them
Processing code wich assumes 1s data packets has not been modified
This allow the rsam computation to work as expected with variable length TraceBuf packets (as produced by slink_srv)
Jean-Marie Saurel	July 18, 2017

pick_FP 
Fixed a bug in offline mode. Thanks to Jin Koo Lee from KITValley Co LTD for reporting this bug. new version v0.0.6
Paul Friberg		June 5, 2017  
Fixed a bug in windows mode. Thanks to Jin Koo Lee from KITValley Co LTD for reporting this bug. new version v0.0.7
Paul Friberg		Dec 21, 2017  

libsrc/util/wfdiscputaway.c
Modified output format for CSS wfdisc data at request of the current only user:  isla.hawaii.edu
Ilya Dricker          February 23 2017

slink2ew
Ticket #565. http://earthworm.isti.com/trac/earthworm/ticket/565
Add MseedRing command to echo/redirect output in miniSEED format to 
a different ring.
Scott Hunter          January 25, 2017

nmxptool
Update nmxptool version 2.1.4
Matteo Quintiliani    January 4, 2017

localmag
Add parameter searchTimesTauSFunc, alternative for searchTimes
The end time of window for searching for peak amplitudes is defined by 
     Estimated_S_Times + ( K1 * ( 1 - exp( - TauS / K2 ) ) )
where TauS = Estimated_S_Times - Origin_Time
Read details in localmag.d or next section "CHANGES to CONFIGURATION FILES"
Matteo Quintiliani and Franco Mele    December 7, 2016

scream2ew - added in 250Hz srate handling capability
Richard Luckett and Murray McGowan - Dec 6, 2016

Extend use of parameter SkipStationsNotInArc also for S phase
Matteo Quintiliani    December 1, 2016

Matteo Quintiliani    November 11, 2016

sniffwave
Ticket #534. http://earthworm.isti.com/trac/earthworm/ticket/534
Add help description for data and feed latency.
Matteo Quintiliani    November 11, 2016

gmew
Ticket #555. http://earthworm.isti.com/trac/earthworm/ticket/555

Larry Baker March 1, 2019


ew2moledb
* preserve query when error "Lost connection to MySQL server during query" occurs. (Error code: 2013)
* preserve query when error "MySQL server has gone away" occurs. (Error code: 2006)
* fix precision to millisecond in datetime fields
Matteo Quintiliani - May 28, 2019



CHANGES TO CONFIGURATION FILES and DESCRIPTOR FILES:
localmag.d
Add parameter searchTimesTauSFunc, alternative for searchTimes
searchTimesTauSFunc  K1 K2  A B  deltaA deltaB
The time window for searching for peak amplitudes is:
    A seconds before the Estimated_P_Times
      B seconds after
                     Estimated_S_Times + ( K1 * ( 1 - exp( - TauS / K2 ) ) )
                     where TauS = Estimated_S_Times - Origin_Time
The time window for cutting traces is:
    deltaA seconds before 
      deltaB seconds after  
example: searchTimesTauSFunc 40.0 30.0  1.0 1.0  19.0 9.0
WARNING: searchTimesTauSFunc conflicts with searchTimes
WARNING: traceTimes is ignored if searchTimesTauSFunc is used
Matteo Quintiliani and Franco Mele    December 7, 2016

hyp2000_mgr.d
Add option to log HYPINV commands:
LogFile    2            # 0 no log, >=1 errors, >=2 hypocenters, >=3 HYPINV commands
Larry Baker February 20, 2019

 LIBRARY CHANGES: 

massive makefile.nt and makefile.unix clean up by Larry Baker. Thanks Larry!!

crypto
encode64/decode64 via SHA-1 added for ewhtmemail use of Google Maps and signing
This uses a GNU licensed version of codes from the Free Software Foundation
Paul Friberg  July 2018 

socket_ew
Added wrapper functions setuptcpclient_ew() and setuptcpserver_ew()
which eliminate boilerplate socket code and allow applications to
be agnostic as to whether addresses are IPv4 or IPv6
Alexander Schnackenberg November 26, 2018

parse_ip_address:
New library routines to properly parse IPv4 and IPv6 address strings
Includes rewritten 'ip_in_same_subnet()' function to determine whether
two addresses are in the same subnet
Larry Baker March 16, 2018

threads_ew
Updated threading functions to use ew_thread_t types that correctly resolve
to underlying opaque types, vs assuming the use of unsigned integers is correct
across 32 bit and 64 bit systems
Alexander Schnackenberg February 6, 2019
