PyTAK 6.0.0

  • Moved & expanded documentation at https://pytak.readthedocs.io/
  • COT_URL now defaults to udp+wo://239.2.3.1:6969, aka 'Mesh SA' in ATAK & WinTAK. This disables receiveing CoT by default. To enable receiving CoT, remove the +wo modifier.
  • Fixes #31: 'protobuf support', "TAK Protocol, Version 1" is now the default output from PyTAK, BUT you must install the takproto python module seperately to ENABLE, otherwise reverts to CoT XML. PyTAK will automatically detect if the COT_URL is multicast or unicast, and use the appropriate protobuf format. See: https://github.com/snstac/takproto
  • Fixes #36: 'Network is unreachable', added PYTAK_MULTICAST_LOCAL_ADDR to allow setting bind port on network connections.
  • Fixes #37: 'unknown compression', reverted to github builder ubuntu-20.04

  • Updates for AirTAK v1 support: https://www.snstac.com/blog/introducing-airtak-v1
  • Moved setup.py metadata to setup.cfg
  • Style, lint and layout cleanup of code.
