- Improved user_hardware script or program initiation for WSPR
band-hopping mode.
- Decoded QSO mode message display narrowed to make appended
information easier to view without scrolling the window.
- Option to record the propagation mode in logged QSO records.
- ADIF v3.1.1 compliance.
- Option to connect to PSKReporter using TCP/IP for those with very
poor Internet connections.
- Major rewrite of the PSKReporter interface to improve efficiency
and reduce traffic levels.
- Removal of the Tab 2 generated messages.
- Accessibility improvements to the UI.
- Tweaked decode speed options for a better user experience with
lower powered single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi.
- Updates to UI translations in Spanish, Italian, Catalan, Chinese,
Hong Kong Chinese, Danish, and Japanese.
- Audio devices only enumerated when starting up and opening the
"Settings->Audio" device lists.
- Option to select the default audio device removed to minimize the
likelihood of system sounds being transmitted.
- Better handling of missing audio devices.
- Improved and enhanced meta-data saved to .WAV files.
- More reliable multi-instance support.
- Included CTY.DAT file moved to installation share directory.
- The bundled Hamlib library is updated to the latest available which
fixes several regressions, defects, and adds new rig support.
- Fixed some edge-case message packing and unpacking defects and
ambiguities.
- Fix a defect that allowed non-CQ messages to be replied to via the
UDP Message Protocol.
- Fix a long-standing defect with Tx start timing.
- Repair a defect with style sheets when switching configurations.
- Repair defects that made the astronomical data window an several
main window controls unreadable when using the dark style sheet.
- Repair a regression with setting WSPR transmitted power levels.
- Repair a regression with newly created ADIF log file's header.
- Many other defects repaired.
