Happy new year - xlog 0.8 release candidate 1
For those who want to give it a try, the first release candidate for
xlog-0.8 is available at
http://auric.debian.org/~pa3aba/xlog-0.8rc1.tar.gz
Changes compared to version 0.7 are:
* Update automake, gettext and autoconf versions.
* Add defaults for logging band, mode, power, txrst, rxrst, freefield1,
freefield2 and remarks. They can be set from the settings->defaults
dialog. Use 'Click All' or Ctrl+k to use them.
* Add a 'Worked B4' dialog. When activated by selecting Tools->Worked
B4, a sorted list of callsigns is displayed while you enter a call in
the callsign field.
* You can set the number of columns in the 'Worked B4' dialog by
selecting Settings->Dialogs from the menu.
* The widely used cty.dat file is now used for dxcc lookups.
* If cty.dat fails for some reason, entries can be added to xlog.dat.
* Remote logging has been adapted for the 2 free fields.
* In the preferences dialog you can choose to add remote data directly
to the log, or to the QSO frame first.
* You can now choose to use autosave or 'save with every log change',
which means your log will be saved every time you click Add, Update or
Delete.
* 'Type ahead find' has been added for the name, QTH, Locator and
Remarks fields. It is enabled by default. You can switch it off in the
preferences dialog.
* Printing is now done in the background with fork().
The latest ktrack will send logging information to xlog, you need to
enable the 2 free fields to use all capabilities.
Regards,
Joop PA4TU
