2020.05.08 There is rc150 we are going to share to wide trial starting from May 8th 16:00 UTC if there is no major bugs reported. Changelog: - patch to AutoSeq for message re-transmission scenario - more filters added to catch false FT8 decodes - waterfall TX/RX bars done as option - QSO_DATE_OFF and TIME_OFF ADIF parameters shall be passed over network - changed link for samples download --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2020.05.07 There is rc150_8 where attention&testing shall be focused on AutoSeq operation, please. Changelog: - AutoSeq is reworked - common band hash table shall be cleaned at band|mode change - patch to 11-char callsign in DXpedition special message parsing - added DXpedition special message parsing in FT4 decoder - added vertical bars for RX and TX frequencies into waterfall - added some more filters of false decodes in FT4/FT8 decoders - 4m band frequency list is updated - translation updates ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2020.04.30 We are almost ready to release rc150 but we had major Hamlib issue with some Kenwood radios in rc150_6. rc150_7 build has recent Hamlib Kenwood patches and is aimed to test Kenwood CAT functionality. rc150_7 changelog: - improved prefix-to-grid mapping(false decode detection functionality) - filter out false "FT8OPG/R Z27HRN/R OH12" like messages in FT8 decoder - minor changes to keyboard shorcuts description (translation affected) - updated decoder's lag description in tooltip to Decoded Text label (translation affected) - updated ALLCALL7.TXT, LoTW users list, big CTY is updated to version as of April 18th - some debug related changes - translation updates ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2020.04.28 There is rc150_6, changelog: - removed JA and EU dependencies from forcing 160m crossband: now such crossband operation with Japan is fully optional - added counter of decoded messages into Band Activity window, Decoded Text label, added tooltip to this label explaining average DT, lag and decoded messages counter values - improved FT8 decoder efficiency and sensitivity - improved transceiver polling functionality - Escape keyboard button shall also halt Tx if widegraph window is active - translation updates - added some more debug recording into JTDX_debug.txt file ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2020.04.23 There is rc150_5, changelog: - implemented sync to FT8 CQ signals, major improvement of FT8 decoder sensitivity to weak CQ signals, a bit improved FT8 decoding efficiency on overcrowded bands - implemented displaying decoder's lag in Band Activity window label: lag is calculated relatively to beginning of next interval. Negative values mean spare time can be used for deeper decoding, positive values is decoder's lag into TX or next interval. - attempt to improve FT4 signal transmission in scenario when poll interval is set greater than 1 second - patch: transceiver poll functionality shall not trigger DT changes of FT8 TX signal - 'wanted country' line edit shall allow to enter asterisk symbol with prefix - 'wanted country' and 'country filter' prefix search shall include asterisk and shall be done with prefix at uppercase - defect fixed in filtering false 'CQ callsign/R' messages - Band Activity window label shall not be part of 'Hide menus' functionality - Danish language and translation added - translation updates - attempt to fit timestamp into waterfall at NAvg=3 on all operating systems - added debug to file option on build ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2020.04.19 There is rc150_4, changelog: - defects fixed in modulator, corrected FT8 and FT4 signal transmission - patch: at program launching frequency shall be set to nearest default frequency - transceiver poll is reworked for FT4 mode - FT8 decoder patches: minor bug fixed in candidate thinning, FT8S decodes shall be marked by '^' symbol and displayed with '*' symbol - attempt to patch timestamp displaying in widegraph(waterfall) - DX Call FT8 decoder searching shall trigger AF RX frequency change to the signal found - translation updates - changes to Hound button background color: yellow in common FT8 bands, green color if out of common FT8 bands ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2020.04.15 There is rc150_3, changelog: - unified system date/time implemented - Hamlib, OmniRig, HRD, DXlab transceiver control code is updated to WSJT-X v2.1.2 and modified, decreased modulator start delay versus previous JTDX versions - FT4 mode transmit delay is set to 20ms - added Catalan language and translation - updated translations, added Fortran debug messages and file open dialog into translation - removed date/time format string translations in logqso UI - some more changes in prefix-to-grid mapping to reduce number of false FT8 AP CQ decodes - added several new text filters to prevent various FT8 false decodes - code reworked to unified MessageBox usage - fixed nearest default frequency search for multiple default frequencies in the frequency list - patch to AutoSeq4+ in JT9+JT65 mode. Introduced tx_mode change event into AutoSeq. - patch: restore default frequency on startup if frequency that is not in the list was saved at last exit from JTDX - minor bug fixed in JT65 decoder - AutoTx button alert color is changed from yellow to soft red one - ALLCALL7.TXT file and LoTW users list are updated - now using big CTY file, version as of April 5th, 2020 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2020.04.05 There is rc150_2, changelog: - patch to WSPR decoder crash in scenario where message with empty grid decoded - added Portuguese Brazilian and Latvian languages and translation - updated translations - some more changes in prefix-to-grid mapping to reduce number of false FT8 AP CQ decodes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2020.04.04 There is rc150_1, changelog: - IARU regions implemented: user now can have common for all regions and own region frequencies in the frequency list - frequency list can be saved to file and loaded from file - there is no 'RESET' button in Frequency tab anymore, please use right mouse's button click on the frequency list to get to controls - updated translation and language templates - minor changes in prefix-to-grid mapping - ALLCALL7.TXT is updated to version 20200403 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
