• It contains deprecation of python bindings (swig support) for rhel7 and deb7/8.
• Additionally, bug fixes and library changes were implemented.

Updates since v6.0.0

• Update OceanLoadTides.hpp Add reference to SPOTL in doxygen comments
• Refactor ObsID and RinexObsID initialization of containers (tcDesc, etc.) to use C++11 syntax and eliminate the use of a singleton initializer.

Build System and Test Suite

• Dropping Python Swig binding support for RHEL7/DEB7
• Refactor debian8 remove python bindings
• Refactor debian dpkg-buildpackage Update control files to remove python bindings

Gitlab CI

• Add CODEOWNERS file.
• Refactor gpstk pipeline downstream jobs
• Add Documentation Artifact to CI Pipeline

Library Changes

• Add SatMetaDataStore findSatByFdmaSlot
• Add EnumIterator class to provide the ability to iterate over the above enum classes.
• Refactor Yuma/SEM file support back into ext
• Refactor enumerations in TimeSystem, ReferenceFrame, IERSConvention, SatID, NavID and ObsID (SatelliteSystem, NavType, ObservationType, CarrierBand, TrackingCode) to use strongly typed enumerations and move them outside the scope of those classes.
• Rename TrackingCode enumerations to better support codes that RINEX does not by using names based on the ICDs rather than what RINEX uses.
• Refactor swig bindings for enums to use similar naming conventions between C++ and python (e.g. gpstk::TrackingCode::CA in C++ and gpstk.TrackingCode.CA in python)
• Move RINEX-isms (such as the string constructor for decoding RINEX obs IDs) in ObsID into RinexObsID where they belong.
• Refactor ObsID and RinexObsID initialization of containers (tcDesc, etc.) to use C++11 syntax and eliminate the use of a singleton initializer.
• Update SWIG Bindings to wrap enumerations more correctly.
