Trying to find the sweet spot for completeness, usefulness, safety
and, performance from the various custom item models and item
delegates.

Working frequencies are mode dependent and a reset to defaults button
has been added.
Also re-factored much of the model and item delegate code to simplify
several of the model implementations. Introduced a single routine
called from main to register the custom types with Qt.

This merge brings the WSPR feature development into the main line
ready for release in a future v1.6 release.

The settings are a linear calibration correction for the
rig. Calibration constants are supplied as an intercept error in Hertz
and a slope error in parts per million.
The correction is applied only to the final frequencies going to and
from the radio. This means that any transverter offsets are not
corrected. This is appropriate as each transverter will have its own
error factors. Transvertor and other individual band specific errors
can only be corrected by adjusting the offset for the band.
Thanks to Mike W9MDB for an initial implementation of Joe K1JT's
suggestion. See also the WSPR documentation for details of calculating
the required calibration constants.

Various defect repairs and ambigous behaviour clarifications
A regression introduced in v1.5.0-rc1 where PTT on an alternate serial
port when using no CAT control is resolved.
A regression introduced in v1.5.0-rc1 where the network server field
was not being restored in the settings dialog has been resolved.
In settings the "Test PTT" button is now styled by checked state.
The "Test PTT" button is enabled without needing click "Test CAT"
first when no CAT rig control is selected.
Various parts of the settings dialog are now disabled when no CAT rig
control is selected. These are the "Mode" group, the "Split Operation"
group and the "Monitor returns to last used frequency" check box. None
of these have any visible impact nor make sense without CAT rig
control.
Initialization and teardown of rig control internals has been revised
to avoid several problems related to timing and when switching between
different CAT settings. This includes improvements in having the
operating frequency restored between sessions when not using CAT rig
control.
The initialization of OmniRig connections has been improved,
unfortunately it is still possible to get an exception when clicking
the "Test CAT" button where just clicking "OK" and leaving the
settings dialog will probably work.
Some unnecessary CAT commands output during direct rig control have
been elided to reduce the level of traffic a little.
The handling of some automatically generated free text messages used
when the station is a type 2 compound callsign or is working a type 2
compound callsign has been improved. This is related to how a double
click on a message of the form "DE TI4/N0URE 73" is double
clicked. The new behaviour depends on whether the current "DX Call"
matches the call in the message. This resolves the ambiguity as to
whether this message is a sign off at the end of a QSO with current
operator (a 73 message is generated) or a tail end opportunity where
the message should be treated the same as a CQ or QRZ message (WSJT-X
QSYs to the frequency, generates messages and selects message one
ready to call). This still leaves some potential ambiguous behaviors
in this complex area but selecting "Clear DX call and grid after
logging" should resolve most of them.
Rig control trace messages have been cleaned up and are now more
helpful, less verbose and, tidier in the source code.

Merged from the wsjtx-1.5 branch.
git-svn-id: svn+ssh://svn.code.sf.net/p/wsjt/wsjt/branches/wsjtx@5298 ab8295b8-cf94-4d9e-aec4-7959e3be5d79
To facilitate interaction with other applications WSJT-X now sends
status updates to a predefined UDP server or multicast group
address. The status updates include the information currently posted
to the decodes.txt and wsjtx_status.txt files. An optional back
communications channel is also implemented allowing the UDP server
application to control some basic actions in WSJT-X.
A reference implementaion of a typical UDP server written in C++ using
Qt is provided to demonstrate these facilities. This application is
not intended as a user tool but only as an example of how a third
party application may interact with WSJT-X.
The UDP messages Use QDataStream based serialization. Messages are
documented in NetworkMessage.hpp along with some helper classes that
simplify the building and decoding of messages.
Two message handling classes are introduced, MessageClient and
MessageServer. WSJT-X uses the MessageClient class to manage outgoing
and incoming UDP messages that allow communication with other
applications. The MessageServer class implements the kind of code
that a potential cooperating application might use. Although these
classes use Qt serialization facilities, the message formats are
easily read and written by applications that do not use the Qt
framework.
MessageAggregator is a demonstration application that uses
MessageServer and presents a GUI that displays messages from one or
more WSJT-X instances and allows sending back a CQ or QRZ reply
invocation by double clicking a decode. This application is not
intended as a user facing tool but rather as a demonstration of the
WSJT-X UDP messaging facility. It also demonstrates being a multicast
UDP server by allowing multiple instances to run concurrently. This is
enabled by using an appropriate multicast group address as the server
address. Cooperating applications need not implement multicast
techniques but it is recomended otherwise only a single appliaction
can act as a broadcast message (from WSJT-X) recipient.

Made the force control lines group box in the Configuration UI
checkable which allows the DTR and RTS checkboxes to mean either force
low or force high.
Also improved UI control logic to only allow valid setting
combintions. Disabled network port text edit for OmniRig. Cleared
network port combo box list for network interfaces like HRD and DXLab
Commander, was erroneously showing COM ports.

Several issues mainly related to the rather complex interaction of
style sheets and widget properties with respect to fonts.
Font setting on the astro window should now be consistent and not
overridden by application style sheet driven font settings.
Decoded text font setting should now be consistent and not revert back
to Courier 10 on the next decode after a font change.

Due to what appears to be a Qt bug, any in progress user edit to a
table fields is not updated in the underlying data models until
QDialog::accept() is called, this means that model validation before
calling QDialog::accept() is tricky.
git-svn-id: svn+ssh://svn.code.sf.net/p/wsjt/wsjt/branches/wsjtx@5164 ab8295b8-cf94-4d9e-aec4-7959e3be5d79
This fixes a defect where station detail changes are not saved.
The Qt sort and filter proxy models utilize an item cache that must be
flushed by callig submit() before accessing the underlying model if
the proxy model has been used for updates.
Also separated the item model candidate key filter from the
implementation internals of the foreign key item delegate so that
candidate key filtered models can be used directly as view models.
Make the insert new station details band combo box use a candidate key
filtered item model to avoid constraint violations. Constraint is zero
or one station records per band.

Option to control standard message generation for type 2 compound

The above member opens the port and that twiddles DTR/RTS which is
unhelpful if they are connected to PTT. Instead a primitive port name
filter to try and detect unuseable ends of serial port pairs is
employed. This may need further tests to exclude similar devices yet
to be discovered.

Colours behave like other configuration items and changes are only
applied when the Settings UI is dismissed via the "OK" button.
Simplified font settings and use style sheets consistently to set the
application and decoded text fonts. This is necessary because any UI
widget that has a style sheet applied does not honor a font set by
QWidget::setFont() even if there is no font setting in the style
sheet, this is broken behaviour IMHO but that is the way Qt currently
works.
Use a style sheet to style the frequency display and clock. This is
necessary to allow fonts to be cascaded through parent style sheets
and still be overridden on these widgets.
Simplify the decoded text widgets, there is no need to use the
QTextBrowser as a super class since the simpler QTextEdit set as
read-only is sufficient. Also removed colour setting via a background
brush as it doesn't work and the HTML 'bgcolor' attribute works
correctly.
Change to UI properties of the decoded text widgets to allow
horizontal scrolling if required, this allows larger fonts to be used
without truncating decoded messages.

Also cleaned up duplicate trace output.
Using the DX Lab Suite Commander CAT interface with rigs like the
TS-2000 requires that split mode be set after changing the Tx
frequency. This is because setting teh Tx frequency disables split
mode.
With some Icom rigs the rig must be in split mode before setting the
Tx frequency otherwise the Tx frequency change will not be honoured.
To fix this the sequence set-split, set-tx-frequency, set-split must
always be used to change the Tx frequency.
Support for new DX Lab Suite Commander TCP/IP commands
Dave AA6YQ has added two new commands to the Commander server to allow
more reliable control.
Requires DX Lab Suite Commander 11.1.4 or later.
Ensure split Tx frequency agrees with UI before transmitting

Pass the temporary directory to jt9 and use it to give the correct
paths to temporary files. Also jt9 passes the absolute path to
kvasd.dat in the temporary directory to kvasd.
Clear out all the annoying cruft that has accumulated due to having to
run with $CWD as the temporary directory.
Use QStandardPaths to find the writable data directory where needed
rather than passing it around between objects. This now works because
the $CWD hasn't been changed.

longer needed.

The location of documentation files on Linux distributions is
controlled to a certain extent. Using the QStandardPaths::locate()
method helps us with this.
Work round the misbehaviour of QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath()
when the CWD has been changed by working out the documentation
location before changing the CWD to a temporary directory. This path
is now provided by the Configuration settings class which also manages
other run time paths.
Updated Debian packaging to move a little nearer a conforming DEB

The Plus 2 kHz check box should not be enabled during transmit if the
"Allow Tx Frequency Changes While Transmitting" is not checked.
Also fixed a defect that caused the disabled during Tx state of some
widgets to not clear due to transmit or tune period being shorter than
a poll interval. Fixed by ensuring PTT changes are always signalled
rather than waiting for the next poll.

Some rigs either do not honour some CAT commands while transmitting or
interpret them incorrectly. To deal with this a settings option to
allow TX frequency changes while transmitting has been added with a
default value of off.
Any UI actions that directly or indirectly change the TX frequency are
guarded according to this new option. As well as this band changes and
use of the +2kHz check box are disabled and guarded respectively in
transmit mode.
Mode changes via the menu are now disabled while transmitting.
When TX frequency changes are allowed; frequency changes are correctly
implemented while in tune mode.
Double clicking decodes while transmitting now correctly regenerate
and change the message sent on the fly.

To aid rapid diagnosis of missing HRD support in WSJT-X for untested
rigs the HRD interface now writes a text file with the available HRD
facilities for the rig to the data directory. The intent is to have
users experiencing problems interfacing untested rigs to sub,it the
file to us (the developers) for analysis and updating the regexps in
teh HRD interface to support their rig in the next release.
The text file is called "HRD Interface Information.txt".

The Qt test mode that uses special paths for writeable files (via
QtStandardPaths) doesn't make a special temporary file path. This
change appends " - test_mode" to the WSJT-X unique temporary file path
so that an application run in test mode will not interact with another
running in normal mode.

Sometimes parts of the application are not fully ready for release at
release time. This option allows such features to be enabled
conditionally at configure time.
The CMake option WSJT_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_FEATURES is used to control
this ability. Normally you will not need to change it as it behaves
in a reasonable way. The option is ON in debug build configurations
and OFF in non-debug configuratiuons.
The option is made available in all source modules via the
WSJT_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_FEATURES macro which is defined to 1 if the
option is ON and to 0 if it is OFF.
Since this default behavior is potentially dangerous because it can
mean that release builds contain different code from debug builds; the
option may be set to OFF in debug configurations in the normal way
(cmake-gui, edit CMakeCache.txt, etc.) to achieve a debug build
similar to a default release build.

default).
Reorganized Modulator interface so that it can control the stream
it writes to.
Make sure only QAudioOutput::stop is called at the end of sending
rather than QAudioOutput::reset which discards pending samples.
Added a quick close option to the Modulator::stop slot to discard
pending buffers if required.
Fix issue in CW synthesizer that was causing CW to be inverted
occasionally.
Made global arrays of symbols volatile because compiler waa
optimizing away reads in sound thread. These global variables
must go eventually as they are a multi-threading hazard.
Simplified TX sequencing to remove some duplicate signals.

This allows writable files to be located in the "correct"
location for each platform rather than in the directory of
the executable which, in general, is not recommended or
allowed in some cases.
A preprocessor macro WSJT_STANDARD_FILE_LOCATIONS is used to
switch be tween old and new functionality, currently it is on
by default. It can be turned off by defining it to a false
value (0) or more simply with cmake-gui setting the option
with the same name. JTAlert can only work with the old
non-standard file locations until Laurie VK3AMA chooses to
support the new file locations.
Even if the above is not enabled; the QSettings file is
written to a user specific location so it will be shared by
all instances of the program (i.e. across upgrades). See
below for multiple concurrent instance support changes.
Added a command line parser module for Fortran.
Added 'lib/options.f90' to facilitate more complex argument
passing to jt9 to cover explicit file locations.
Changed the way multiple concurrent instances are handled.
This is to allow the program to be run multiple times from
the same installation directory.
A new wsjtx command line optional argument is available "-r"
or "--rig" which enables multiple concurrent instance
support. The parameter of the new option is a unique name
signifying a rig or equivalent. The name is used as the
shared memory segment key and in window titles. The name is
also used to access unique settings files and writable data
files like ALL.TXT and log files. No attempt has been made
to share these files between concurrent instances.
If "-r" or "--rig" is used without a parameter it still
enables multiple concurrent instance support for that
instance. All instances must use a unique parameter, one of
which may be empty.
The rig name is appended the
QCoreApplication::applicationName() for convenient usage like
window titles.
Set non Qt locale to "C".
This ensures that C library functions give consistent results
whatever the system locale is set to. QApplication follows
the system locale as before. Thus using QApplication and its
descendants like widgets and QString for all user visible
formating will give correct l10n and using C/C++ library will
give consistent formatting across locales.
Added top level C++ exception handling to main.cpp.
Because the new transceiver framework uses exceptions
internally, the main function now handles any exceptions that
aren't caught.
Retired devsetup, replaced with Configuration.
Configuration is a class that encapsulates most of the
configuration behavior. Because rig configuration is so
closely coupled with rig operation, Configuration serves as a
proxy for access to the rig control functions. See
Configuration.hpp for more details of the Configuration
interface.
Menu changes.
Various checkable menu actions moved from main menu to the
Configuration dialog. The whole settings menu has been
retired with the single "Settings..." action moved to the
file menu for consistency on Mac where it appears as
"Preferences" in line with Mac guidelines.
New data models for data used by the application.
ADIF amateur band parameters, free text message macros, spot
working frequencies and, station information (station
descriptions and transverter offsets per band) each implement
the QAbstractItemModel interface allowing them to be used
directly with Qt view widgets (Bands.hpp, FrequencyList.hpp
and, StationList.hpp). Configuration manages maintenance of
an instance of all but the former of the above models. The
ADIF band model is owned by Configuration but requires no
user maintenance as it is immutable.
Band combo box gets more functionality.
This widget is now an editable QComboBox with some extra
input capabilities.
The popup list is still the list of spot working frequencies,
now showing the actual frequency decorated with the band
name. This allows multiple spot frequencies on a band if
required.
The line edit allows direct frequency entry in mega-Hertz
with a completer built in to suggest the available spot
working frequencies. It also allows band name entry where
the first available spot working frequency is selected.
Recognized band names are those that are defined by the ADIF
specification and can be found in in the implementation of
the ADIF bands model (Bands.cpp).
If an out of band frequency is chosen, the line edit shows a
warning red background and the text "OOB". Out of band is
only defined by the ADIF band limits which in general are
wider than any entities regulations.
Qt 5.2 now supports default audio i/p and o/p devices.
These devices are placeholders for whatever the user defines
as the default device. Because of this they need special
treatment as the actual device used is chosen at open time
behind the scenes.
Close-down behavior is simplified.
The close-down semantics were broken such that some objects
were not being shut down cleanly, this required amendments to
facilitate correct close down of threads.
User font selection added to Configuration UI.
Buttons to set the application font and the font for the band
and Rx frequency activity widgets have been added to the
Configuration UI to replace the file based font size control.
Free text macros now selected directly.
The free text line edit widgets are now editable combo boxes
that have the current free text macro definitions as their
popup list. The old context menu to do this has been
retired.
Astronomical data window dynamically formatted and has font a chooser.
This window is now autonomous, has its own font chooser and,
dynamically resizes to cover the contents.
Double click to Tx enabled now has its own widget in the status bar.
QDir used for portable path and file name handling throughout.
The "Monitor", "Decode", "Enable Tx" and, "Tune" buttons are now
checkable.
Being checkable allows these buttons control their own state
and rendering.
Calls to PSK Reporter interface simplified.
In mainwindow.cpp the calls to this interface are
rationalized to just 3 locations.
Manipulation of ALL.TXT simplified.
Moved, where possible, to common functions.
Elevated frequency types to be Qt types.
Frequency and FrequencyDelta defined as Qt types in their
meta-type system (Radio.hpp). They are integral types for
maximum accuracy.
Re-factored rig control calls in mainwindow.cpp.
The new Configuration proxy access to rig control required
many changes (mostly simplifications) to the MainWindow rig
control code. Some common code has been gathered in member
functions like qsy(), monitor(), band_changed() and
auto_tx_mode().
Rig control enhancements.
The rig control for clients interface is declared as an
abstract interface (See Transceiver.hpp). Concrete
implementations of this interface are provided for the Hamlib
rig control library, DX Lab Suite Commander via a TCP/IP
command channel, Ham Radio Deluxe also via a TCP/IP command
channel and, OmniRig via its Windows COM server interface.
Concrete Transceiver implementations are expected to be moved
to a separate thread after construction since many operations
are blocking and not suitable for running in a GUI thread.
To facilitate this all instantiation of concrete Transceiver
instances are handled by Configuration using a factory class
(TransceiverFactory) for configuration parameter based
instantiation.
Various common functionality shared by different rig
interface implementations are factored out into helper base
classes that implement or delegate parts of the Transceiver
interface. They are TransceiverBase which caches state to
minimize expensive rig commands, it also maps the Transceiver
interface into a more convenient form for implementation
(template methods). PollingTransceiver that provides a state
polling mechanism that only reports actual changes.
EmulateSplitTransceiver that provides split operation by
QSYing on PTT state changes.
EmulateSplitTransceiver can be used with any implementation
as it follows the GoF Decorator pattern and can wrap any
Transceiver implementation.
OmniRigTransceiver is derived directly from TransceiverBase
since it doesn't require polling due to its asynchronous
nature. OmniRigTransceiver is only built on Windows as it is
a COM server client. To build it you must first install the
OmniRig client on the development machine
(http://www.dxatlas.com/omnirig/).
DXLabSuiteCommanderTransceiver derives from
PollingTransceiver since it is a synchronous communications
channel. No third party library is required for this
interface.
HRDTransceiver also derives from PollingTransceiver. The HRD
interface library has been reverse engineered to provide
functionality with all available versions of HRD. No third
party libraries are required.
HamlibTransceiver likewise derives from PollingTransceiver
since the Hamlib asynchronous interface is non-functional.
Although this class will interface with the release version
of Hamlib (1.2.15.3); for correct operation on most rigs it
needs to run with the latest master branch code of Hamlib.
During development many changes to Hamlib have been submitted
and accepted, hence this requirement. Hamlib source can be
obtained from git://git.code.sf.net/p/hamlib/code and at the
time of writing he master branch was at SHA 6e4432.
The Hamlib interface directly calls the "C" interface and the
modified rigclass.{h,cpp} files have been retired.
There is a rig type selection of "None" which may be used for
non-CAT rigs, this is actually a connection to the dummy
Hamlib device.
PollingTransvceiver derives from TransceiverBase and
TransceiverBase derives from the Transceiver interface.
Each interface implementation offers some possibility of PTT
control via a different serial port than the CAT port. We
also support PTT control directly via a second serial port.
This is done by delegating to a dummy Hamlib instance which
is only used for PTT control. This means that
DXLabSuiteCommanderTransceiver, HRDTransceiver and
OmniRigTransceiver always wrap a dummy HamlibTransceiver
instance. The factory class TransceiverFactory manages all
these constructional complexities.
Serial port selection combo boxes are now editable with a
manually entered value being saved to the settings file.
This allows a non-standard port device to be used without
having to edit the settings file manually.
For TCP/IP network CAT interfaces; the network address and
port may be specified allowing the target device to be
located on a different machine from the one running wsjtx if
required. The default used when the address field is left
blank is the correct one for normal usage on the local host.
Selecting a polling interval of zero is no longer possible,
this is because the rig control capability can no longer
support one way connection. This is in line with most other
CAT control software.
In the Configuration dialog there are options to select split
mode control by the software and mode control by the
software. For the former "None", "Rig" and "Fake it" are
available, for the latter "None", "USB" and, "Data" are
available. Because tone generation is implicitly linked to
split mode operation; it is no longer possible to have the
software in split mode and the rig not or vice versa. This
may mean some rigs cannot be used in split mode and therefore
not in dual JT65+JT9 until issues with CAT control with that
rig are resolved. Single mode with VOX keying and no CAT
control are still possible so even the most basic transceiver
setup is supported as before.
Configuration now supports a frequency offset suitable for
transverter operation. The station details model
(StationList.hpp) includes a column to store an offset for
each band if required.
CMake build script improvements.
The CMakeLists.txt from the 'lib' directory has been retired
with its contents merged into the top level CMakeLists.txt.
Install target support has been greatly improved with the
Release build configuration now building a fully standalone
installation on Mac and Windows. The Debug configuration
still builds an installation that has environment
dependencies for external libraries, which is desirable for
testing and debugging.
Package target support is largely complete for Mac, Windows
and, Linux, it should be possible to build release installers
directly from CMake/CPack.
Cmake FindXXXX.cmake modules have been added to improve the
location of fftw-3 and Hamlib packages.
Version numbers are now stored in Versions.cmake and work in
concert with automatic svn revision lookup during build. The
version string becomes 'rlocal'± if there are any uncommitted
changes in the build source tree.
Moved resource like files to Qt resources.
Because location of resource files (when they cannot go into
the installation directory because of packaging rules) is
hard to standardize. I have used the Qt resource system for
all ancillary data files. Some like kvasd.dat are dumped out
to the temp (working directory) because they are accessed by
an external program, others like the audio samples are copied
out so they appear in the data directory under the default
save directory.
