release change notes for ver 3.34.0 as of....... 19 aug 2011
================================================
note - item 1 below was actually contained within the version 3.33.0
release
- there have been two interim maintenance releases - ver 3.33.7 and
3.33.18
1) two new rotors should now be visible on the rotor setup window.
(gs232b az/az a and gs232b az/az b) to support the new erc-m interface
2) a new option in the telnet local host menu allows for the main telnet
blocking filters to be used or
not as desired for this window .
3) change made to the previous qso window to stop it automatically opening
every time a call is entered in
the "logbook entry" window?
4) the iota activity window is now sizeable in both the horizontal and
vertical directions (just like dx activity window).
5) a code change has been made that may (or may not) help the reported
problem with dx spot and worked/confirmed
windows not aligning [vertically] the grid properly.
6) cleared the problem of non printable characters appearing on the local
host screen when looking at a cluster.
7) the country name now appears in the upper status bar when clicking on a
callsign in previous qso window.
8) when using the "add qso" facility the incremental seconds addition for
qso having the same time was not resetting
correctly at the next minute.
9) maintenance release 3.33.16 fixes a bug in the release 3.33.7 that caused
the messages tab of the telnet/cluster window
to display incorrectly.
10) file export - changes made to allow the user to specify the qsl file
export \path\filename and for logger32 to remember it
the same has also been applied to the two backup selections (logbook & user
files). both changes simplify the generating of
backups without having to specify the path each time.
11) under some circumstances the previous qsos windows populated, cleared,
and populated a second time. bug cleared.
12) change made so that search window does not automatically close when the
logbook page window looses focus.
13) minor bug associated with the internet callsign window that didn't
close on clicking on a new spot report cleared
14) a vsc (virtual steppir controller) introduced. see new antenna icon on
the icon bar.
15) logbook entry window now allows the form style/colour of the user.
previously the form was fixed in windows
classic colours.
16) 6m added to the cqdxfield awards table.
17) bug cleared whereby transverter offset was not being applied in the
orion support software when setting the
radio frequency via the cat control.
18) a simple sanity check for the user defined transverter freq offset has
been added.
19) when using "incremented time" on entering qsos manually the time_off
field was being populated with 00
00
20) when using dual radios in so2r a dxspot selected from the dxspot table
worked correctly but
doing the same from the dxspot map caused logger32 to crash when a change
of radio was involved.
21) a number of cosmetic changes have been made to:-
cw machine and its associated macro setup window
data terminal window and its associated macro setup window
sound card data and its associated macro setup window
logbook entry window and online lookup window (formerly the qrz lookup).
dvk and the radio debug windows.
22) bug cleared that under certain circumstances did not allow the correct
transference of the qsl_via field from previous qso information
23) simple bug fix of a 'focus' issue that happened only when slow typing
was enabled in the cwmachine.
24) auto band switching added to the 87a support interface - as a user
option.
25) there has been a major rewrite of the stats and database referential
integrity code to make things faster, and
to see test changes to the iota query window (the ? next to the iota field
on the logbook entry window) and the iota
activity window. a recalc stats for all logbooks will be required.

** changed main country prefix and offset prefixes for asiatic russia from ua9 to r9.
this is to avoid confusion when a specific callsign (for example, ua9b) and offset prefix
(ua9b) are matched and portable callsigns are not recognized correctly.
** timezones for asiatic russia (r9, formerly ua9) corrected to reflect abolition of
daylight saving time (dst) in russia.
