the correct entries when the "Set current entries to those in
report" option was set for the Awards/Submission Tracking report.
*** 5.26 ***
- Previously some of the Awards reports automatically reset the
"currently selected" log records to the QSOs displayed by the
report. Now when you select these reports an option is displayed
that allows you to control this action ("Reset current records to
those in report"). The reports affected are:
Awards/Worked+Confirmed
Awards/Critical QSOs
Awards/Submission Tracking
Awards/DXCC Submission Forms
Awards/County Validation
*** 5.25 ***
- Bug Fix: If a log entry for Serbia and Montenegro was edited the
name was changed to Serbia. However, the DXCC tracking was still
correct. To fix any entries that were improperly updated, select
the entry, choose Modify, and then OK. (5.24 bug)
*** 5.24 ***
- Added new DXCC country Montenegro (E6)
- Added new DXCC country Swain's Island (KH8/S)
- Bug Fix: The station info fields were not always being set
when adding new entries.
- Bug Fix: The "Awards/Worked+Confirmed" report was not selecting all the
log records for calls appearing in the report (5.23 bug).
*** 5.23 ***
- Added support for the K1EL WinKey 2. This keyer uses a USB port
to connect to your PC but access from XMLog (and other programs)
is via a "virtual" serial port.
- You can now double-click on calls displayed in the
"Awards/Worked+Confirmed" and "Awards/Submission Tracking"
reports to display the appropriate entry in the Log Window.
These reports will now automatically set the Log Windows
"Currently Selected Entries" to the entries corresponding to
those in the report.
- Added the Icom IC-7000 to the list of supported rigs.
*** 5.22 ***
- Added support for CW keying via K1EL's WinKey. Keyer type is
selected using "Options/CW Options and Port Select".
- Moved the "Show Country List" and "Show Callsign List" menu items
from the "DX" to the "View" menu. Added "Show IOTA List" and
"Show U.S. County List" items to the "View" menu.
- The file "labels.ini" is no longer replaced when installing new
versions of XMLog. All .ini files are now preserved when a new
version is installed. Other files that are still preserved are
"totals" and "layouts.mdb".
*** 5.21 ***
- Bug fix: The Packet Window alert filtering for U.S. regions
was not being applied if the spotter was a non-U.S. station.
*** 5.20 ***
- Added a "memory" to the Packet Window "Connect/Internet Connect"
menu item. Ten addresses are saved and the most recently used
address is selected by default. Node file names can also be
entered (the extension must be provided, e.g. filename.nod).
- Bug fix: The Packet Window alert filtering didn't work properly
when more that one of the "allow" filters was set.
- Bug fix: The "Awards/DXCC/Create Submission Form" report
improperly handled callsigns that occurred more than once in
the report. They now appear only in the second section of the
report rather than in both sections.
*** 5.19 ***
- Bug fix: The use of ? as a search key for the Prefix field
was not being allowed. (5.01 bug)
- Changed the order that the set frequency/mode commands are sent
to Kenwood rigs (first frequency, then mode). Also added a
delay between the commands.
- Changed the XMLog email address to support@xmlog.com
*** 5.18 ***
- Callbook lookups using QRZ.COM will now use any latitude/longitude
information provided.
- Updated XMLog installer
*** 5.17 ***
- Added support for Station Info "profiles". This feature allows
you to manage collections of Station Info values. To save, load, or
delete a profile use the Profile menu items from the Station Info
window.
- When right-clicking on a callsign in the Packet Window the list of
options now includes opening the QSOs+Callsign Check Window for
the call.
*** 5.16 ***
- Packet Window: Use the default connection address as the initial
setting when displaying the prompt for the "Connect/Internet Connect"
menu item.
- Log Window: Allow two character grid values.
- Change the command used for positioning Orion 2800 rotors from
### to A###.
- Change the handling of "Address" fields when importing ADIF files
so that the "M" (multi-line) option is not required as part of
the field descriptor.
- Bug fix: When importing ADIF files multi-line fields (like "Address"
fields) could be mis-handled if the ADIF file used CR+LF sequences
as end-of-line characters.
*** 5.15 ***
- Bug fix: Version 5.14 was created with an empty "Totals" file which
caused XMLog to complain at startup. This only happened when installing
version 5.14 when XMLog had not been previously installed.
*** 5.14 ***
- Added several new features to the QSOs Window:
1) A single-click on a call in the Packet Window will update the window.
2) Typing Ctrl+W will clear the callsign prompt.
3) The state/province is now included with the QTH in the QSOs list.
- Fixed some QSOs Window bugs:
1) Using the QSOs Window with no Packet Window caused subscript errors.
2) "Options/Show All" did not enable the "Show Name/QTH" menu items.
*** 5.13 ***
- Combined the "View/Show QSOs" and the "DX/Check Call" windows
into a single new window which is displayed using the
"View/Show QSOs + Check Call Window" menu item. The old F4
shortcut for "DX/Check Call" will now open this new window.
This window combines the features of both of the old windows
and has option settings that let you pick the look you want.
QSOs and info is displayed based on the currently selected
log entry or on a call/prefix entered within the window.
The old "DX/Check Call" menu item has been deleted.
- Bug fix: When using the "Options/Log Defaults..." menu item a
subscipt error could occur if 3 of the 4 log field groups had
been configured to "Always Show".
*** 5.12 ***
- Bug fix: An error would occur if the Log Window was minimized and
the "Options/Log Defaults..." menu item was used from the Packet
Window.
*** 5.11 ***
- Added more filter options to the Spot History window. You can now
filter by mode as well as by callsign.
- Added simple wildcards for the Spot History window callsign search.
You can now search with XX*, *XX, and *XX*.
- Bug Fix: The call search from the Spot History window didn't always
highlight the call if the foreground or background color was black.
- Allow the F4 shortcut (DX/Check Call) from Spot Map and Spot History
windows.
- The window displayed using "DX/Check Call" can now be left showing (it
no longer locks the focus to itself). This window can now also be
displayed from the Log Window using "DX/Check Call" (F4). The
position for this window is now saved across XMLog sessions.
- Added new data modes: FSK411, JT65, Olivia
*** 5.10 ***
- The "Grids/Worked+Confirmed" report can now show info based on 2, 4, or
6 character grid designators.
- You can now supply a Mode field search key "Phone" or "Data" to match
all appropriate values.
- Bug Fix: The Mode field search key "SSB" was not matching SSB, USB, and LSB.
*** 5.09 ***
- The keys use to send CW messages (Ctrl+F1...Ctrl+F8) were not always
being passed to the Packet window from the Spot Map window.
- QRZ.COM lookups will now get any grid info.
- All callbook lookups (except QRZ CDs) will now get any QSL manager info.
*** 5.08 ***
- Added a "View" menu to the Log and Packet windows. The follow menu items
were moved to this new menu:
Log Window:
Display/Show QSOs Window
Log and Packet Windows:
Options/Show Packet Window
Options/Show Packet Spots Map
Options/Show Packet Spots History
Packet Window:
Edit/Split Screen
Edit/Horizontal Scrollbar
Edit/Memory Buttons
- Added a CW keyboard window displayed from Log or Packet windows using
the "View/Show CW Keyboard" menu item.
- The stand-alone keyboard program XCW is now bundled with XMLog and
no longer needs to be installed separately.
*** 5.07 ***
- Bug fix: The log window could not be minimized. (5.05 bug)
*** 5.06 ***
- Fix sizing problems with log window and packet spot window. The
bottom of the displayed info could be clipped or the status bar
could be obscured.
*** 5.05 ***
- Added support for the Orion 2800 rotor
*** 5.04 ***
- Fix a problem with ADIF files that contain Satellite Name/Mode info.
It seems the ARRL's LOTW system requires a "PROP_MODE=SAT" setting
for these QSOs so we will now automatically include this value
for QSOs that have any satellite fields set.
*** 5.03 ***
- Creating a new log file that supports fractional Power field values
is now much easier. Instead of exporting/importing the log file
using ADIF files you can create the new log using the Files/Copy Log to...
menu item.
*** 5.02 ***
- Added support for Power field values less than 1 watt. Only log
files created by version 5.02 or later will support this feature.
To use this feature with data from previous versions you must
save all your log entries using the "Import/Export ADIF File"
menu item, create a new log file, and then import the newly
created ADIF file using the "Import/Import ADIF File" menu item.
- Bug fix: ADIF exports were getting "Type mismatch" errors (5.00 bug).
*** 5.01 ***
- Bug fix: The Awards/Critical QSO Summary reports were getting
"Can't load fields for log entry" errors. (5.00 bug)
*** 5.00 ***
- Added new log fields: Satellite Name/Mode and Contest In/Out. To
enable these fields choose the Options/Log Fields menu item and
pick the Log Fields tab.
- Added a new group of fields, the Station Info fields. These fields
define your location and the callsigns of the station and operator.
To enable these fields choose the Options/Log Fields menu item and
pick the Log Fields tab.
- Added a "Keep Alive" feature for network connections. This feature
is used to avoid the disconnects by some networks when the connection
has been idle for some time. XMLog can now periodically send a command
when there has been no activity to avoid these disconnects. See
Options/Packet Options for details.
- When defaults for log entries are enabled and the "Set time to
current time" option is enabled the Time Off field will be set
to the current time when the entry is added.
- Bug fix: Bad location values for Ohio, Kentucky, and Louisiana
resulted in bad heading displays for these states.
*** 4.96 ***
- Restored the Import/Export XMLog Text File menu items. It seems
that there were people still using this feature. (Removed in 4.86)
*** 4.95 ***
- Bug fix: The zone for Canadian QSOs was not being automatically set
based on the province field. Also, the province field wasn't being
set for callbook lookups for QRZ and RAC callbooks.
*** 4.94 ***
- Bug fix: A "Can't create label record, field is too small" error
would occur when printing QSL labels for QSOs with Alaskan stations
that have very long county names that were abbreviated in the log
entry (e.g. Skagway...).
*** 4.93 ***
- Bug fix: The pop-up menu displayed by right-clicking on certain log
fields (name, address, prefix, county, state) is supposed to include
the option of setting these fields from the callbook. (4.80 bug)
*** 4.92 ***
- Update list of Asiatic Russian prefixes.
- When importing AIF files XMLog saves some information in the Notes
field.
SAT_NAME xxx -> SAT: xxx
SAT_MODE xxx -> MODE: xxx
SRX xxx -> IN: xxx (contest exchange info)
STX xxx -> OUT: xxx (contest exchange info)
ARRL_SECT xxx -> SEC: xxx (contest exchange info)
This version will now move this info from the Notes field to the
appropriate ADIF fields during ADIF exports.
*** 4.91 ***
- Made some changes to the "Awards Worked/Confirmed" reports:
1) The report now shows the most recent QSOs
2) The WAS, Zone, IOTA and Grid reports show one more QSO entry
3) Each line is prefixed with the QSL confirmation status
- Add the Icom IC-7800 to the list of supported rigs.
*** 4.90 ***
- Removed code added in version 4.89 that tried to dynamically change
the printer page size setting when printing labels.
- Removed OR4 from the list of Antarctic prefixes.
*** 4.89 ***
- Mode/Frequency changes weren't always working for the TenTec Argonaut-V.
Added a pause between commands and this seems to fix the problem.
- Speed up report generation for "Awards/..." menu items and for
"DX/Update Packet DXCC status".
*** 4.88 ***
- Added support for the Icom IC-703.
- Added two options to the window displayed by "Display/Show QSOs
Window" - "Show Name" and "Show QTH". When these options are set
the name/QTH will be displayed at the top of the QSO list.
*** 4.87 ***
- Reduce the number of "?" alerts for spots with unknown prefixes.
Don't give alerts if no call is supplied or the call ends in "/MM".
Also, alert inhibits for band/mode/etc. were not being honored
if the spot was for an unknown prefix.
*** 4.86 ***
- Fixed another county name: Chittendon, VT > Chittenden
This name change (and the changes made for version 4.84) will
be automatically applied to log entries when the "Awards/Counties/
Countiy Validation" menu item is invoked.
- SSTV, FAX, and VIDEO were being counted as data modes for DXCC, they
are now correctly counted as Phone QSOs as per ARRL rules.
- Added a page orientation option for QSL and Mailing label page layouts.
This option lets you select Landscape or Portrait mode. The printer
is returned to the original orientation after the labels have been
printed.
- Bug fix: Fixed a problem that occurred when using "Edit/Set Fields
from Callbook (Ctrl+F)" or when using the callbook to set default
values for log fields. We now don't set any location fields
(Prefix, Country, State, County, Grid) if the call includes
a portable designator (/MM, /VP9, etc.)
- Restored the "Edit/Define Custom Modes" menu item that had been
mistakenly deleted.
- Mode/Frequency changes weren't always working for the TenTec Omni-VI.
Added a pause between commands and this seems to fix the problem.
- Remove support for importing/exporting 'XMlog format' files. Also
modified the QBasic conversion programs import.bas and import1.bas
so they now create ADIF files rather than 'XMLog format' files.
*** 4.85 ***
- Updated the prefix file to change Yugoslavia to Serbia and Montenegro.
Any existing YU log entries with dates past Feb 03, 2003 will have the
country name updated automatically.
- Bug fix: The "Edit/Set Fields from Callbook" menu item previously
replaced any existing values for the prefix/country fields. This
caused problems when the fields had been previously set to values
appropriate for a portable operation (e.g. HB9AAA/HB0).
- Bug fix: Double-clicking on a call in the packet window could cause
an "Overflow" error message if QRZ.COM callbook lookups were enabled.
*** 4.84 ***
- Added support for the Yaesu FT-897.
- There is a new form for search keys when you want to search for
log records containing a certain string anywhere in the field.
The old technique was to use a wildcard of the form =*xyz* to
find all log records that contained xyz in the field. You can
now also use a search key of the form ~xyz to save some typing.
- The "Awards/Counties/County Validatiton" menu item now reformats
the county names to a 'standard' form as well as fixing a few
common spelling errors.
- Changed some county names. Both the old and new forms are accepted.
IA: OBrien > O'Brien
AL, GA, IL, IN, MO, TN: DeKalb > De Kalb
IL, TX: DeWitt > De Witt
MI: LaPeer > Lapeer
MS, OK: LeFlore > Leflore
ND: LaMoure > La Moure
NM: DeBaca > De Baca
TX: LaSalle > La Salle
TX: Shackleford > Shackelford
*** 4.83 ***
- ADIF imports with the "Apply default values to imported entries"
option enabled will now correctly set the address info for calls
with a /1, /P, etc.
- ADIF imports now provide two options to handle duplicate records,
ignore the record in the ADIF file, or replace the record in the
log with data from the ADIF file.
- Bug fix: The "File/Backup Log" menu option wasn't disabled when
when there was no log open. When selected, it would display a
spurious error message.
*** 4.82 ***
- Bug fix: Mode wasn't being set for the Kenwood TS-2000.
- Bug fix: Bearing/Distance computations were not working from
locations having both southern latitudes and eastern longitudes.
Also, changes to your configured location were sometimes not
effective until XMLog was restarted.
*** 4.81 ***
- Bug fix: "File/Create New Log" wasn't working (4.80 bug).
*** 4.80 ***
- Added support for the Alinco DX-77
- Added an optional "Time Off" field. To display this field use the
"Option/Log Options" menu and enable "Display Time Off Field".
*** 4.79 ***
- Bug fix: Searches by band name above 2 meters didn't work in
lower case, e.g. 125cm had to be entered as 125CM.
*** 4.78 ***
- Bug fix: Display/Short did not show the QSL status as confirmed
when the QSL Rcvd date was set but the QSL Sent date was not.
*** 4.77 ***
- Changed "Import/Import CT .res File" so that it handles files
created by recent versions of CT. The QSO count field had been
increased from 4 to 5 columns.
- Bug fix: The log window sometimes would not show the correct
info at startup if two of the "Options/Log Options - Always
Show ... Info" options were selected.
*** 4.76 ***
- Bug fix: The "Awards/Create DXCC Submission Forms" report wasn't
sorting entries for deleted countries properly.
*** 4.75 ***
- Added a new menu item for the log window: Display/Show QSOs Window
This window will display a list of QSOs that have calls that match
the call currently displayed in the log window. This list is
automatically updated if a new log entry is displayed or if the
call in the current entry is edited.
*** 4.74 ***
- Changed the Import/Export menu item back to Import. Adding the
extra characters caused the menu bar to use two lines on some systems.
*** 4.73 ***
- XMLog now supports the CW defintion of the @ character (.--.-.).
The @ was previously used to send the SK prosign which is now
sent by using ^ (Shift+6).
- Bug Fix: The Spot History Window wasn't showing data modes
correctly (RTTY, etc.) if the mode was the very first part
of the spot comment field (4.69 bug).
*** 4.72 ***
- Report windows now include a "Print Report" and "Save Report As..."
icon.
- The zone for H40 (Temotu) was incorrect (28 instead of 32). Logs
will be automatically updated when they are opened.
- The Packet Spots History Window can now be scrolled with the mouse
wheel.
- Bug Fix: The Critical QSO Summary report for DXCC should not count
CW QSOs made before 01/01/1975 as credit for a new mode.
*** 4.71 ***
- Added a new Log Window menu item "Edit/Change Date and Time for
Multiple Entries". The primary use for this menu item is to
adjust date/time values from local times to UTC. See the help
file section "Modifying Multiple Entries" for more info.
- Added a new Log Window menu item "File/Backup Log". See the help
file section "Backups" for more info.
*** 4.70 ***
- The U.S. County field now allows actual county names for Alaska.
Previously only district names (Central, South Central, ...) were
allowed since the County Hunters award is based on districts
rather than counties. The county reports created by the
Awards/Counties menu items will still display statistics based
on Alaskan districts and will automatically map county names
to their appropriate district.
- The "Awards/Counties/County Validation" menu item now reformats
the county names to a standard format.
- Formally when using the "Edit/Set Fields from Callbook" menu
item (Ctrl+F) the County/State fields would be set from the
callbook if the county field was blank. Now if the state field
is already set and is different from the state in the callbook
the State/County fields won't be updated. This handles the case
where you have a log entry for W1XXX/KL7 and you have the state
already set as Alaska - you don't want to reset the County/State
to the callbook values for W1XXX.
- Bug Fix: The "Import/Import CT .RES File" menu item wasn't working
correctly with records having dates with 1-digit months (4.66 bug).
*** 4.69 ***
- Reversed the command sequence for setting the frequency and mode
for the Elecraft K2. Setting the mode then frequency resulted
in the mode setting being overridden.
- Bug Fix: Some users that had selected a non-English value for
their Windows regional settings would get a "Type Mismatch"
error message from the Packet Window.
*** 4.68 ***
- Bug Fix: The "AutoScroll Disable" feature for the Spots History
Window wasn't working.
*** 4.67 ***
- During ADIF imports consider SSB equivalent to USB and LSB
when checking for duplicate records.
- Bug Fix: The mode was not being displayed in the Spot History
Window for 60m spots.
- Bug Fix: Disabling the "Enable CW Alerts" option did not disable
alerts if the "Add Band/Mode to CW Alerts" option was enabled.
- Bug Fix: If you closed the Packet and Spots History window while
a node file was in progress you would receive a "Can't Write Spots
Map Info File" error message and any spot history band definitions
would be lost.
*** 4.66 ***
- Changed the log menu item "Import" to "Import/Export".
- Bug fix: The width of the band displays sometimes would not extend
to the width of the band map window.
*** 4.65 ***
- Add a new menu item "Awards/WAZ Validate Zones". This menu item
produces a report that lists QSOs that may have bad zone settings.
- Remove reference to wininet.dll - this was causing install problems.
*** 4.64 ***
- Don't back up logs if there haven't been changes since the last backup.
- Added support for the TenTec Paragon-I.
- Included the new interface for Buckmaster callbook CDs (hamcal32.dll).
This version searches any callbook update files.
- Bug fix: ADIF imports - If there were invalid fields in a record
and the record was edited and the "Include" button was selected XMLog
would get stuck in an infinite loop if there were still errors in
any field.
- Bug fix: ADIF imports - Any change to the "Don't Import Dupes"
and "Verify County Guesses" options were not being saved.
- Bug fix: Setting the Packet window alert option "Don't display QSO
status lines" would also disable other spot related features (spot
highlighting, voice/cw alerts, and spots would not always get added
to the Packet Spot Map and Packet Spot History windows).
- Bug fix: Log searches using ? for the frequency field didn't work
and gave a spurious error message.
- Bug fix: The Awards/Create DXCC Submissions report did not include
29 mHz entries if the 10m filter was set (or 51-54 mHz entries if
the 6m filter was set).
*** 4.63 ***
- Change default prefix used for ADIF exports from .ADF to .ADI
- Added new commands that can be included in CW and Packet messages.
These commands are replaced by fields from the current log entry:
#LOGCALL #LOGCOUNTRY #LOGFREQ #LOGFREQMHZ
#LOGGRID #LOGMODE #LOGNAME #LOGPOWER
#LOGPREFIX #LOGQTH #LOGSTATE #LOGZONE
- Bug Fix: ADIF exports didn't include a "Band" field for 60 meter QSOs.
*** 4.62 ***
- Added a "Don't show already accepted entries" option to the awards
submission tracking reports.
- Improved the handling of rotor position displays in the popup menus from
the packet, spot map, and spot history windows.
- Bug fix: Spots were not being handled properly by the packet window when
the horizontal scrollbar option was disabled and the width of the packet
window was very narrow.
- Bug fix: The frequency wasn't being read properly from the TenTec Orion.
*** 4.61 ***
- Add 60m to the list of allowable search keys for the frequency field.
- Improve mode handling from spots in packet window.
*** 4.60 ***
- The packet window menu item "DX/Check Call" now displays more info.
- PacketCluster alert times for the Spot History and Spot Map windows
now extract the time from the alert itself rather than using the
current time.
- The packet window now features Rig/Rotor memory buttons. These buttons
are enabled using the "Edit/Memory Buttons" menu item. For details see
the help section "Memory Buttons" within "Using the Packet Window".
- Added LSB and USB to the modes list.
- Added a "Edit/Clear Spot History" menu item to the Spots History window.
- Bug fix: Frequencies were not being extracted properly from PacketCluster
spots when the spotting station had a long callsign.
- Bug fix: The date/times displayed in the Spot History window did not
take daylight savings time into account when "Use UTC" was not set.
*** 4.59 ***
- Added rig support for the Elecraft K2.
- Bug fix: If no default log file was set an "Invalid procedure call" error
would be displayed during startup (4.58 bug).
*** 4.58 ***
- The "Select" button wasn't getting the initial focus in the Log window
if the packet auto-start option wasn't set.
- Update country names to fix spelling errors or to match the names
used in the ARRL DXCC list. All entries in log files will be
automatically updated when they are opened.
3C0 Pagalu I. -> Annobon I.
CT3 Maderia Is. -> Madeira Is.
ER Moldavia -> Moldova
EY Tajikstan -> Tajikistan
HK Columbia -> Colombia
PZ Surinam -> Suriname
T5 Somali -> Somalia
VP2M Monserrat -> Montserrat
VU/L Laccadive Is. -> Lakshadweep Is.
XT Burkino Faso -> Burkina Faso
XU Kampuchea -> Cambodia
YA Afganistan -> Afghanistan
*8Z4 Suadi-Iraqi -> Saudi-Iraqi
*8Z5 Kuwait/Iraqi -> Kuwait/Saudi
*CR8/D Damoa -> Damao
*HK0/B Baha Nuevo -> Bajo Nuevo
*VQ9/D Desroshes -> Desroches
- Add rig support for the Yaesu FT-857 and the TenTec Orion, Jupiter and
Argonaut-V.
- Bug fix: If the packet port was set to "Internet" with no node file
a "Can't read node file" message would be displayed. (4.57 bug)
*** 4.57 ***
- Fixed a problem where Node files were getting stuck when connecting to
certain Internet addresses.
- Custom labels: Frequencies can now be displayed as bands (80m, 20m, etc.).
Frequency (mhz) now displays 160m as 1.8 and 80m as 3.5
rather than 1 and 3.
- Internet addresses with explicit port numbers can now be specified
as "address port-number" or as "address:port-number".
*** 4.56 ***
- Improved QRZ.COM support. "State" field now gets set for US calls.
*** 4.55 ***
- Bug fix: Packet window didn't initially scroll to last line if the window
was maximized.
*** 4.54 ***
- Add built-in support for callbook lookups using QRZ.COM (see
"Options/Callbook Setup").
- Bug fix: Wild cards weren't working for the callsign field (4.53 bug)
*** 4.53 ***
- When searching the log by callsign entering a call that contains a slash
will match two versions of the call. For example if you enter W1ECT/KH6
this will match entries for W1ECT/KH6 and entries for KH6/W1ECT. If you
only want an exact match you can precede the call with an = sign, for
example =W1ECT/KH6 will not match KH6/W1ECT. This new feature does not
try to handle more complicated calls that contain more than one slash,
for example KH6/W1ECT/P.
- In version 4.50 I had changed "File/Copy Log To..." such that it rebuilt
the log database as it was copied. For some reason this causes problems
when the destination is a floppy diskette. For the time being the file
copy menu item will revert to the old technique of simply copying the file.
- Added "Band" fields to ADIF exports.
- Bug fix: Packet highlighting for PacketCluster spots wasn't always
highlighting the appropriate area.
- Bug fix: The names for the XMLog awards tracking date fields were
mis-named in ADIF export files. However the data was being saved/restored
properly except for the WAZ/Reject date which was not being restored.
Since these fields are unique to XMLog this bug doesn't affect other
programs since the fields would be ignored.
- Bug fix: The date format setting DD/MM/YY was being changed to MM/DD/YY
after an ADIF import.
*** 4.52 ***
- You can now click on "CW KB", "Pileup", etc. at the bottom of the Packet
Window to clear these modes. Clicking on "Scrolled" is the same as
using the "End" key.
- Bug fix: The dates shown by "Display/Display Excel" were not always
respecting the date format setting (mm/dd/yy vs. dd/mm/yy).
- Bug fix: If you chose "Display/Display All Entries for Call" while
adding a new log entry all fields would be erased or set to values
from the current entry.
- Bug fix: The log window was going into edit mode when right-clicking
on a field. This only applies when the "Show Modify Button" option is
disabled.
*** 4.51 ***
- Improved the CW timing - it was noticably bad on my new XP system.
Also, fixed a problem where some CW COM ports were starting in a
key-down state on XP.
- Changed how totals were being calculated for CW DXCC. No credit
should be given for QSOs before 1/1/75.
- Added a new option to the Spot History display that allows you to
override the default auto-sizing of columns.
- Bug fix: "Help/Display changes.txt" was giving "Out of memory" errors.
*** 4.50 ***
- The Packet Spot Display has been renamed, it's now the Packet Spot Map.
- Added a new way to display spots as a list. To try this new display
use the "Options/Show Packet Spot History" menu item. See the help
file for more info. This display can be a good alternative to the
normal packet window when all you want to see is the spot info and
not all the chit-chat. While the Spot Map is a good way to display
recent spots the Spot History is better at managing large numbers of
spots and also maintains a record of spots from previous sessions.
- Bug Fix: If you gave a name of a non-existant file for an ADIF import
XMLog would create an empty file with that name and import 0 entries.
- Bug Fix: ADIF imports could miss some data if an end-of-record (EOR)
flag was followed by data for the next record without starting a new
line. This was occurring for files created by an old version of LogEQF.
*** 4.49 ***
- Awards/DXCC Submission Form: Add a list of multi-QSO calls at the end
of the report.
- Added ADIF DXCC indexes for East Timor, Chesterfield Is., and Ducie I.
as per ARRL.
- Changed the province abbreviation for Newfoundland/Labrador from NF to NL.
- Added a "File" menu item to reports that allows a "Save As..." and "Print".
- Allow the grid tracking report to track bands above 2 meters.
- Increase the maximum frequency in log entries to 10 gHz.
- Bring IOTA list up to date.
- Bug Fix: Searches using a band name above 2 meters wasn't working.
*** 4.48 ***
- Allow mouse-wheel scrolling for the log, report, and packet windows.
- Bug fix: If the packet form was minimized when XMLog was closed the next
time XMLog was run you could see a "Form cannot be moved or sized while
maximized or minimized" message. (4.47 bug)
*** 4.47 ***
- Added support for the Icom IC-746Pro, IC-7400, Yaesu FT-747 and
Heath SB-1400.
- The spot display window now provides a "Display all entries for call"
option when right-clicking on a callsign (just like the packet window).
- You can now do log searches by band by providing the band name in the
frequency field (like 160m, 30m, 10m, ...). The old technique of just
providing the mHz portion to do searches by band is still supported.
See "Search Keys" under the "Searching the Log" section of the help file
for more info.
- Bug Fix: The longitude was not being read properly from Buckmaster callbook
CDs resulting in bad headings/distances for entries that had the location
set.
*** 4.46 ***
- Award tracking dates: Require submit date if accept or reject date is set.
- Bug fix: Callbook lookups didn't always show country in window caption.
*** 4.45 ***
- Add CW PTT control for LPT ports.
- Bug fix: Double-clicking on lines in a DXCC Submission Report didn't go
to the correct log entry.
*** 4.44 ***
- The Worked/Confirmed and the Submission Tracking reports now include
a totals line for each band/mode.
- The CW Options menu now lets you set an option that toggles the RTS line
of the COM port while CW is being sent. This signal is used by some
PC-to-rig interfaces to control the rig PTT circuit - useful when you
aren't in QSK mode.
- Bug fix: More fixes to log searches. Using = and != comparisons on
numeric and submission date fields wasn't matching all the appropriate
entries.
*** 4.43 ***
- Added a new "Awards/DXCC/Create DXCC Submission Forms" menu item. This
creates the QSO detail forms that are submitted to the ARRL with DXCC
applications (hopefully these "non-official" forms will be accepted).
- Added an automatic log backup feature. Use the Help button from the
"Options/Log Backup Options" menu for details.
- Removed message about previously installed XMLog version from the
installer. Also removed message about replacing prefixes file.
- Bug fix: A log search using a "not equal" (e.g. !=buro) also wasn't
matching all the appropriate entries.
- Bug fix: The address info was sometimes being mishandled on ADIF imports.
*** 4.42 ***
- Both the Clear and the Stop buttons are now always displayed when adding
new log entries.
- When a new log entry is created from the Packet or Packet Spots
window Add mode is exited automatically after the entry is added.
- #him is now set when new log entries are created from the Packet or
the Packet Spots window.
- Bug fix: The "Verify Prefix Guesses" option was being ignored if
the "Set Fields from Callbook" option was enabled.
- Bug fix: A log search using a "not equal to wildcard" (e.g. !=*buro*)
wasn't matching all the appropriate entries.
*** 4.41 ***
- Bug fix: "File/Create New Log" was giving a "Can't set property" error
message (4.39 bug).
*** 4.40 ***
- Bug fix: The "Grids Worked/Confirmed" report gave a subscript error when
the number lines in the report exceeded 250.
*** 4.39 ***
- Added a new option for imports "Ignore Duplicate Entries". An entry is
considered to be a duplicate if the Date/Time/Call/Frequency/Mode fields
are the same. This option is enabled by default.
*** 4.38 ***
- The packet window menu item "DX/Check Call/Prefix" (F4) now displays the
country/bearing information as the callsign is entered.
- "DX/Show Country List" now displays the country/bearing information and
selects the country as the callsign is entered (no more Guess button).
- Leading and trailing spaces are now allowed on CW messages so you can
send multiple messages and not have them run together.
- Bug fix: Fixed problem that caused error messages when trying to create a
QSL or mailing label layout whose name contained a quote.
- Bug fix: Highlighting in log fields using Shift+Home,End,Left/Right Arrows
wasn't working.
*** 4.37 ***
- Changed commands used for Hy-Gain DCU-Rotor to be compatible with the
Rotor-EZ controller for HyGain Tailtwister/Ham2/Ham3/Ham4 rotors.
*** 4.36 ***
- The packet window can now be configured to do an auto-connect at startup
for comm ports as well as Internet ports. Use "Options/Packet Options"
to set a node file name for "Comm Port Auto-Connect".
- When importing a file you can now define default field values that will
be applied to each imported entry. These defaults are seperate from the
defaults that are used when creating log entries from the log window.
- Previously, if you double-clicked on a line within a report to display
the corresponding log entry XMLog would complain if that entry wasn't
a member of the currently selected entries. Now you're given the option
of selecting all log entries so that the requested entry can be displayed.
- Add new entries for Icom rig control: IC-706MkIIG, IC-718, IC-731,
IC-746MkII, IC-751A, IC-756Pro, IC-756ProII. Also fixed the IC-706MkII
entry (it had an incorrect rig address).
- Added support for the Yaesu FT-980
- Bug Fix: The RTTY and FM mode setting for the FT-1000MP was incorrect.
- Bug Fix: CW Alerts would not sound if there was no CW Port configured
and the CW sidetone was disabled.
- Bug Fix: The latitude/longitude for S. Sandwich in the prefixes file
was reversed!
*** 4.35 ***
- Go back to using old style beeps when the beep type set from "Options/Sounds"
is set to "Default".
- Bug Fix: Don't check for packet comm port conflicts if the packet port type
is set to "Internet".
- Bug fix: It was possible to get an "Invalid Call" error from the packet
window after doing a "DX/Update Packet DXCC Status" (4.32 bug).
*** 4.34 ***
- Added a new menu item "Options/Sounds" that lets you select beep sounds
for the Log and Packet windows.
*** 4.33 ***
- Callbook lookups using the Flying Horse CD now make use of the DXCC info
provided on the CD. This helps identify countries for callsigns that
can't always be determined from the call alone (like ZK1, 3D2, VP8, etc.).
To make full use of this feature (e.g. for determining the country for
PacketCluster spots) you should copy your CD to your hard disk and set the
"Use Callbook for Locations" option using "Options/Callbook Setup".
- Bug fix: An error would occur if you did a Save from the Log Options window
while the log window was minimized.
- Bug fix: The PacketCluster alert option "Don't display QSL status lines"
wasn't working properly (4.32 bug).
*** 4.31, 4.32 ***
- Since most new PacketCluster nodes don't recognize the Set/ANSI command
the "Highlight" option set from the "Options/Packet Options" hasn't been
very useful. Now XMLog will do its' own highlighting of the frequency/call
portions of spots when the Highlight option is enabled. When the spot
causes an alert the highlighted area will be extended a bit around the
frequency/call to make it stand out.
- Bug fix: For ADIF imports 12 meter QSOs that had the "BAND" field set but
had no "FREQ" field set were having the frequency set to ?.
- Bug fix: More fixes for colors for various windows not being saved across
XMLog sessions. The problem was occuring when the color was set to black.
- Bug fix: The packet window input area wasn't always getting focus when the
packet window started. As a result you couldn't enter anything!
- Bug fix: Fix another problem with the packet window starting up minimized
with an unspecified Internet address. You couldn't shift focus to the
prompt to enter the address.
- Bug fix: When updating older versions of XMLog it was possible to get a
"Field length cannot be zero" error when copying the new demo QSL label
layouts.
*** 4.30 ***
- Bug fix: The colors for the packet spot window were not always being
saved across XMLog sessions.
- Bug fix: If the packet window port was set as an Internet port with
no default address an "Invalid procedure call" error could result.
*** 4.29 ***
- Bug fix: The "Countries Needed", "Zones Needed", etc. reports were
sometimes producing "Invalid procedure call" errors.
- Bug fix: For submission tracking reports, if a QSO was shown as "Accepted"
it would not be shown as "Submitted" as well.
- Bug fix: "File/Print..." wasn't working for the packet window.
*** 4.28 ***
- Added a new item to the popup menu that's displayed when you right-click on
a callsign in the Packet Window - "Display all entries for call".
- Added "Awards/Grids Worked+Confirmed" report.
- Bug Fix: The Packet Spot Window still wasn't allowing a band definition for
6 meters - it wasn't being restored in the next XMLog session.
*** 4.27 ***
- Bug Fix: The Packet Spot Window wasn't allowing band definitions for 6 meters.
*** 4.26 ***
- Added Ducie Island as a new DXCC country.
- Added support for the Yaesu FT-817
- Add six meters to the Awards reports and PacketCluster alerts.
Six meters will be intially set as one of the "Bands to Ignore" in
the "DX/PacketCluster Alerts" menu item.
- Added two new inhibit types for the "DX/PacketCluster Alerts" menu item.
You can now inhibit alerts for spots for countries that have already been
worked or have QSLs outstanding.
- The "PacketCluster Alerts" options are now accessible from the
"Options/Packet Options and Port" menu item.
- Bug Fix: The state wasn't being set correctly for ADIF imports when
the section was WCF or WMA.
*** 4.25 ***
- Undo the change made in 4.24 that switched the order of commands sent
when changing a rig's frequency/mode. Caused more problems than it cured.
*** 4.24 ***
- Added new menu items for the log window:
"Labels/Add Mailing Labels for all Selected Entries"
"Awards/WAS Critical QSOs"
"Awards/WAS Needed States"
"Awards/WAZ Needed Zones"
"Awards/IOTA Totals"
"Awards/IOTA Checklist"
"Awards/IOTA Critical QSOs"
"Awards/County Totals"
"Awards/County Checklist"
"Awards/County Critical QSOs"
- Added a new option for "Options/Rig Port Select". This option lets you
select which mode is set when setting the rig frequency for a "Data" QSO.
- Switched the order in which commands are sent to your rig - first the
frequency is set, then the mode. Setting the mode first had an annoying
side effect for some rigs in that the mode 'memory' for the current band
could be set inappropriately.
- Set rig mode to FM when setting frequencies 29.510 through 29.700 mHz
- Added new county: Broomfield, Co.
- Bug Fix: The "Callsigns to Upper Case" option wasn't being applied to
Excel reports.
*** 4.23 ***
- Bug Fix: Font changes to the log form were not being applied to the
next XMLog session.
*** 4.22 ***
- Bug Fix: ADIF imports were not handling fields that contained leading
or trailing spaces.
*** 4.21 ***
- If the "Rejected" field for a QSO is set the QSO is not considered to
be worked/confirmed/submitted/... and doesn't contribute to any values
in the Summary reports (except possibly the "rejected" count). If there
is another QSO that can be used to replace the rejected QSO then the
rejected QSO doesn't even contribute to the "rejected" count.
This subtle change was made because with the old scheme the rejected
QSO was taking precedence over any other QSO that was made later.
For example if an A5 station was worked, confirmed, submitted and
then rejected things were reported correctly (and this QSO showed up
in the "rejected" count). But if you then worked another A5 station
(and confirmed/submitted it) A5 was still shown as rejected.
The most noticible effect of this change will be that the "submitted"
counts will no longer include submitted QSOs that were rejected.
- The Worked/Confirmed reports now includes the submitted/accepted status.
- Include import7.bas, a utility for converting DXBase 4.5 logs to XMLog
import format. Thanks Wayne, VE3JV.
- Bug Fix: The format for some columns in the Excel display were not being
explicitly set which caused Excel to auto-format these values (an RST
of 5-9 was displayed as a date!).
*** 4.20 ***
- Added a new command for node files "pause xxx" where xxx is the number
of seconds to pause and can be 1 to 30.
- Bug Fix: QSOs within multi-QSO labels were not being correctly sorted
by date.
- Bug Fix: Countries that only had rejected QSOs were not being displayed
in the "DXCC/Needed Countries" report.
- Bug Fix: Not all of the newly added data modes were being exported
for ADIF files. (Were being mapped to "RTTY").
*** 4.19 ***
- Added new data modes: MTTY (Mini RTTY), ASCII, GTOR (Golay TOR),
PAC2 (Pactor II), FSK31, HFSK, MFSK8, MFSK16, PSK63, PSK125, THROB,
Q15X25, and PCW (Precision CW). These modes are now officially supported
for ADIF import/export.
- Added a "CW/Key Down" menu item for the packet window. This will lock key
down for transmitter tuning. Select it again to lift key.
- The maximized/minimized state for the log, packet, and spot windows is
now saved across XMLog sessions.
- Bug Fix: Selecting a rig type of Icom or TenTec gave a "Rig type too
large" error.
- Bug Fix: Using the "Options/Log Options" menu item while the Log window
was maximized caused an error.
*** 4.18 ***
- Bug Fix: "Display/Display Excel" could hang if used more than once
in a single XMLog session.
- Bug Fix: Divide faults could occur when computing headings if the
other station's location was close to yours.
*** 4.17 ***
- Added a new report format "Display/Display Excel" which creates a report
displayed in an Excel spreadsheet. This report can be customized to
display any combination of log fields.
This feature requires Microsoft Office to be installed on your system.
- Added a new log menu item "Edit/Set Fields from Callbook" (Ctrl+F)
which sets the name, address, qsl via, county, state and grid fields.
Only sets fields that are not currently set.
- Changed how callbook lookups are used to set fields for new log entries.
Previously there were seperate options for setting the name and address.
Now there is a single setting that sets the name, address, qsl via,
county, state, and grid fields.
This new option is "Get Info from Callbook" and can be set from the
"Edit/Edit Defaults for New Entries" menu item.
- Restored the item counter in the heading of reports. It now only counts
actual entries in the report, not headings or blank lines.
- Improve handling of calls containing a / during callbook lookups.
- Allow most control characters to be entered in the packet window.
- Added "Set Rotor to..." to the popup menu displayed when right-clicking
on the Call, Prefix, or Country fields of the log window.
- Added a query named 'All-Formatted' saved in XMLog log files (which are
MS Access databases). This query formats and returns all fields in the
database. This makes it easier to get XMLog entries from Excel, etc.
- Bug Fix: Buckmaster callbook CD lookups were not returning the full
address.
*** 4.16 ***
- The currently opened log can now be copied to an alternate location using
"File/Copy Log To...". This can be useful for creating backups in other
folders or on diskettes/CD's - it doesn't affect the current log.
- Added "Worked/Confirmed" reports for the DXCC, WAS and WAZ awards.
- The DXCC/WAS/WAZ summaries now display the awards tracking counts
(submitted/accepted/rejected) if any have been set.
- The DXCC summary now displays deleted country counts.
- The "DXCC/Need Countries" report now shows deleted countries, but only
if the status is worked or outstanding.
- Bug Fix: Custom labels defined in centimeters were not being printed
correctly.
- Bug Fix: Callbook lookups were not always ignoring any portable
designation (/1 etc.).
- Bug Fix: Log searches using the prefix field could fail for certain
prefixes.
*** 4.15 ***
- Added right-click support for the packet spots window allowing you to:
Set the rig frequency
Do callbook lookups
Start a log entry
Set the rotor position
- Allow double-clicks within 'Invalid County' reports to move to
corresponding log entries.
- Bug Fix: Couldn't define new bandsets for packet spots window.
- Bug Fix: Fixed problem that caused a "Can't assign spot site" message
when displaying long callsigns in the packet spot window.
- Bug Fix: Fixed the problem with random ghostly outlines that could
appear when printing QSL labels.
*** 4.14 ***
- Bug fix: Background color settings for custom QSL and Mailing labels
were causing problems (clearing an area in the upper left of the page).
- Bug fix: Mailing labels added through the callbook lookup form were
not getting sorted by country/call/date when printed.
- Added documentation for the Packet Spot Window to the help file.
*** 4.13 ***
- Bug fix: #cr's were being ignored in packet message definitions when
they were sent while in split screen mode.
- Bug fix: If the "Use Callbook for Locations" option was enabled with
the QRZ or Buckmaster CD, XMLog could hang when entering calls.
*** 4.12 ***
- Use Right-Click on the Callsign field to show a popup menu containing
the last 10 QSO's with this station (replaces Ctrl+Click).
- The double-click action for log fields can now also be accessed by
popup menus displayed by right-clicking on the field.
- Changed the main prefix for the Chesterfield Islands from TX to FK/C
to agree with the DXCC countries list.
- Added support for Multi-QSO labels. Check the help file for details and
see the Demo layouts "Demo QSL-5" and "Demo QSL-4 Small".
- Labels are now sorted when printed (by Country, Call, Date and Time).
*** 4.10 ***
- Version 4.05 included a feature that allowed you to update certain fields
by double-clicking on them when the "Modify" button is enabled. This
will now put you in edit mode so you have the option of selecting "Cancel"
to discard the change.
- The spot display window has a new option: "Don't Show Inhibited Spots".
*** 4.08 ***
- Packet window input editing has been changed to be consistent with
Windows standards.
Tab or Shift/Tab - Move right/left one word (unchanged)
Control+Right/Left arrow - Move right/left one word (new)
Control+Home/End - Move start/end of line (new)
Check "Help/Sortcut Guide" for a list of all editing characters.
*** 4.05 ***
- A Ctrl+Click on the Callsign field shows a list with the last 10
QSO's with this station. You can navigate to an entry in the list
by selecting it assuming you aren't currently editing the entry.
You can also choose to display a Window with all the entries (same
as the "Edit/Display All Entries for Call" menu item).
I had hoped to have this feature controlled by a right-click but
it turns out that it's difficult to disable the default right-click
action for a field - maybe later...
- When you have the "Modify" button enabled and you are not currently
editing an entry Double-clicking on fields now works. This means that
you can set the mode/freq from your rig, do callbook lookups, or set
the IOTA, country, county, fields from a list. Check the "Help/Display
ShortCut Guide" menu item to see which fields allow Double-Clicking.
Double-clicking previously only worked when an entry was being edited.
- You can now control which groups of fields are shown in the log window
by setting options from the "Options/Log Options" menu item. Use the
"Always Show QSO Info Fields", "Always Show Address Fields", and the
"Always Show Awards Tracking Fields" options. See the help file for
details.
- Added support for the Yaesu FT-1000D separate from the FT-1000.
There are entries for "new" and "old" versions. Later versions
of the FT-1000D support commands that allow faster responses.
- Whenever the PacketCluster Spot Display has the focus, anything
typed there gets passed to the packet window (including control
keys used to send CW messages, Home, Page Up, etc).
- Bug fix: The "Get Name From Callbook" feature available from the
"Edit/Edit Defaults" menu didn't work for non-US/VE calls using
the Radio Amateur Callbook CD.
- Bug fix: The address fields didn't have the correct data for ADIF
exports.
*** 4.04 ***
- Added an experimental PacketCluster Spot Display. Use "Options/Show
Packet Spots Window". Use the Help menu item from the spot window
for a description of the features.
- You can now add to the the list of recognized modes by choosing
"Edit/Define Custom Modes" from the log window.
- The "Options/Packet Options" and "Options/Packet Port" menu items have
been combined. The "Options/Packet Options and Port" window now has
three tabs that let you set the Options, Port, and Messages.
- The "Options/Autostart Packet Window" menu item has been moved to the
"Options/Packet Options and Port" window. This new option can be found
under the Options tab as: "Display Packet Window When XMLog Starts".
- You can now change the font used for the log window by choosing the
"Options/Log Options" menu item.
- Double-clicking on log entry fields to set values now also works
while entering search keys.
- "File/Print Setup" now works on Windows NT and 2000. The settings
not saved between XMLog sessions.
- Bug fix: TenTec OMNI-VI support didn't work.
- Bug fix: Lookups for undefined calls using the Winter 2001 Callbook
CD could display a error message with a status of 65532. Replaced
the callbook interface routine with their latest version.
- Bug fix: A double-click on an empty QSL Via field caused killed XMLog.
- Bug fix: Importing ADIF files that had format errors in the first record
would stop without importing records or giving an error message.
*** 4.00 ***
- This is the first "32-bit" version of XMLog. This version will not run
on Windows version 3.
- If you have a 'wheel' mouse you may need to update your mouse driver to
get the wheel to work. The latest mouse drivers are available at:
www.microsoft.com/products/hardware/mouse/driver/default.htm
*** 4.00 Log Window ***
- New log files will be created in Microsoft Access 97 version format.
This version will still be able to use log files created by previous
versions of XMLog (which were created in Access version 2 format). Logs
created with XMLog 4.00 cannot be used with previous XMLog versions.
- A new set of "Address" fields have been added to the log. To display
these fields click on the "Show" button in the lower left of the window.
This button now cycles through the QSO info, Address, and Awards Tracking
displays.
- The "Name" and "Address" fields can now be set from your callbook CD by
double-clicking on them. You can also have them automatically set when
creating new log entries by using the "Edit/Edit Defaults for New Entries"
feature. If the address info from the callbook CD has any "QSL Via"
info, this info is moved to the QSL Via field.
- When using "Labels/Add Mailing Label" the address info is taken from the
address fields of the current log entry (not from the callbook).
- Mailing labels can specify a custom layout seperate from the current QSL
label layout (use "Options/Mailing Label Layout").
- Mailing labels are now saved in their own list (mailing.out). The QSL
and Mailing labels lists now have their own Print and Erase commands
(e.g. "Labels/Print Mailing List"). This feature can be disabled by setting
the "Combine QSL/Mailing Labels" option from the page layout window.
- Custom layouts can now include pictures.
- The country "guess" and the heading/distance are shown in the log window
caption as callsigns are edited.
- Added a "Show new entries after Import or Add" feature. When this feature
is enabled newly added or imported entries are displayed as the currently
selected entries. This feature is enabled by default - to disable it use
the "Options/Log Options" menu item. When the feature is disabled the
currently selected entries are not changed by an Add or Import.
- The UTC offset and Daylight Savings values are now taken from your Windows
settings. XMLog no longer has any UTC offset or Daylight Savings settings.
- Automatically generated QSO dates/times may now be local or UTC. Set or
clear the "Use UTC" option from the "Options/Log Options" menu item.
- Callsigns may now be mapped to upper case. Use "Options/Log Options" to
set "Callsigns to Upper Case".
- The IOTA field can be set by selecting from a list. Use "Edit/Set IOTA
From List" or double-click on the IOTA field.
*** 4.00 Packet Window ***
- You can now right-click in the packet window to select from a list of actions
that were formerly selected by shift/left-click, etc. This means that you can
no longer use a right-click to read BBS and PacketCluster messages, but this
function is now the first item in the action list. See the help file section
on the Packet Window Popup Menu for details.
- Changed the CW sidetone support for sound cards. See the Option/CW Options
menu item and check the CW Setup section of the help file.
- Windows NT: CW keying via a comm port is now supported (no LPT support yet).
Also, CW sidetone via the speaker or sound card is supported.
- You can now set the CW port to "none" and enable the sidetone to do local
CW testing - e.g. to send a file for code practice.
- CW, Packet, Rig, and Rotor comm port numbers can now range from 1 to 8.
*** 4.00 Callbooks ***
- Added Control+L as a shortcut for "DX/Callbook Lookup" for the Log and
the Packet windows.
- Callbook lookups now display a list of QSOs for the call. Double-clicking
on an entry in this QSO list will move the main log window to that entry (if
it's among the currently selected log entries).
- The location for the Callbook, Inc. database can now include a pathname.
- The callbook setup window now includes the option "Use Callbook for
Locations". When this option is enabled your on-line callbook is checked
when computing headings (handles the W8 who has moved to W4). It is also
checked when guessing contries (handles KP2AA who is really in Arizona).
This option should only be used if your callbook data has been moved to
your hard disk.
*** 4.00 Misc. ***
- Main prefix change: KC6 (W. Carolines) is now T8 (Republic of Palau).
- Added more flexible color control for Options/Colors.
- Added more flexible clock control for Options/Status Bar Clock.
- Combined dialog for "Options/Packet Options" and "Options/Select Packet Port".
*** 3.04 ***
- Update IOTA list.
- Bug fix: The file "Append or Replace" dialog aways did a replace!
*** 3.03 ***
- For ADIF imports the QSL_RCVD and QSL_SENT fields were not being handled
correctly causing the fields to be set to ? when it wasn't appropriate.
*** 3.02 ***
- For ADIF imports the state wasn't getting set correctly from the County data.
- Added AS-146, SA-087 to the IOTA list.
*** 3.01 ***
- Minor improvements to ADIF exports and imports.
- Added support for the Yaesu FT-100
- Added AF-084, AF-085, AS-145 to the IOTA list.
*** 3.00 ***
- XMLog can now (optionally) update your log to use prefixes that more closely
match the ARRL DXCC prefix assignments. Most of the prefix changes in version
3.00 apply to former USSR countries.
Moved the ADIF DXCC country ID info from the file "adifinfo.txt" to the
prefixes file.
Both of these updates required changes to the format of the prefixes file.
Although XMLog will still read old prefixes files anyone who maintains a
custom file should consider updating it to use the new format.
See readme.txt for more info.
- Added 4W/East Timor and TX/Chesterfield Is. to the prefixes list.
- Added a new menu item "DX/Show Callsign List" to the Log and Packet windows.
This feature allows you to assign countries to specific callsigns that
XMLog can't "guess" correctly.
- Add heading/distance to callbook lookup messages. For now only U.S. calls
have the station location defined. This feature is currently only available
for RAC Callbook, Inc. CD's.
- Added new commands for CW messages, #pause, #repeat and #file. For example
you can create a repeating CQ with: CQ CQ de #me #me k #pause 3 #repeat
or if your CQ was in a file: #file c:\messages\cq.txt #pause 3 #repeat
See the help file section of CW Messages for more details.
- You can now double-click on RST fields in the log window to set the
field to 59 or 599 (only works when the mode or frequency is set).
- Added rotor interface support for Yaesu SDX rotors and the HY-Gain DCU-1.
Control+Click on a call or heading in the packet window to move

(newest to oldest).
- Fixed a bug in XMLog-style log exports that contained mode names longer than
3 characters.
*** 2.15 ***
- Bug fixes for custom QSL layouts.
- Add a new prompt when labels are printed. This prompt allows you to set the
starting row/column on the page. This prompt can be disabled from the
"Options/Labels Layout" menu.
- Fixed a 32K limitation on the number of QSO's that could be contained in a
log (the scrollbar was the limiting factor).
- Add a section to the help file under "Importing/Exporting Log Entries" that
describes LogConv. This utility can convert TRLog, CT, NA and dBase logs to
ADIF which can then be imported into XMLog.
- Modify a feature added in 2.14 - The automatic update of the QSL Sent dates
can be disabled by setting the "Don't Update QSL Sent Date" from the
"Options/Labels Layout" menu.
- Added data modes J2C and FH.
- Bug fix: ADIF imports could give "Illegal function" errors if the XMLog date
format was set to dd/mm/yy.
- Bug fix: The QSO date was incorrect for "Add QSL Label for all selected
entries" if the date format was set to dd/mm/yy.
*** 2.14 ***
- Added Custom QSL layouts
- Moved all label menu items on the log window from "Display" to a new menu,

- Added a new log menu item "Labels/Add QSL Labels for all Selected Entries".
- The Add QSL menu items now set the QSL Sent date to the current date.
- Improved error handling for Internet connections. In earlier versions
connections to non-responding destinations would just stall and display no
error message. Also added an Internet Disconnect entry under the Connect
menu.
- Added two new items for CW/TNC messages, #freq and #mode. These are
replaced by the current freq/mode from your rig if you have rig control
enabled.
For example, a message to create a DX Cluster spot would be "DX #freq #him".
Do a single click on the call to set #him before using this message.
- Default values for the rst in/out fields are now automatically mapped between
59 and 599 based on the mode (but only if the defaults are explicitly set to
59 or 599).
- Bug fix: ADIF imports could abort if fields were too long. Now all fields are
truncated to their maximum length.
- Bug fix: Fixed conflict checking for the TNC, CW, and rig control ports.
Don't check the TNC port if the port type is "Internet".
- Bug fix: Searches with bad dates could fall into "add" mode with no error
message.
*** 2.13 ***
- Allow COM5 and COM6 for TNC ports and Rig Control ports (but not CW keying

- Added ID codes for Temotu Province, Austral Is., and Marquesas Is. for ADIF
import/exports.
- Ignore blank lines in node (.nod) files - don't give a "syntax error" message.
*** 2.12 ***
- Added new menu item "Help/Shortcut Guide".
- For the packet window - Shift/left-click on a call will start a new log
entry for that call.
Moved "CW/Set #Him" to "Edit/Set #Him". Single left-clicks on a call in the
packet window now "set #him" (can be used in TNC/CW messages).
- Added the FT-847 to the rig control list.
- Added the support for realtime logging for Icom rigs and the FT-847.

Miles/Kilometers (only used by the Display Country List form).
- Bug fix: If you changed the TNC port from the log window options menu you
would get a "device in use message" when starting the packet window. (Worked
ok from packet window Options menu).
*** 2.11 ***
- New real time logging feature, the frequency/mode can be read from your rig
(only Kenwood and Yeasu FT-1000MP tested so far). See help file section
on adding log entries for info.
- Changed the DXCC status of ST0, Southern Sudan to deleted. This means the
entry in the prefixes file got changed to *ST0. If you're lucky enough to
have one (or more) of these in your log, use the "Edit/Change Prefix" menu
item to change ST0 to *ST0. (For more info check the help file section on
changing prefixes).
Changed the entry for Fed. Rep. of Germany, it had included DS-DT
(South Korea).
- Added a new error message that's displayed when unknown prefixes are
found during log scans.
- CW keyer now handles international characters. See the help file section on
CW Messages for details.
- CT users note: A utility C2A, is now available from the CT web site
(www.contesting.com/ct/files) that will convert a CT log file directly into
an ADIF file. This technique is preferable to using B2R9 since more
information is saved including the country/zone info and the contest type.
- Added 6, 2 and VHF to the list of legal entries for inhibiting PacketCluster
alerts ("DX/PacketCluster Alerts" from the packet window).
- When using "Edit/Edit Defaults for New Entries" you can now use #him in the
call field - the field will be filled with the current value of #him (set
by the packet window "CW/Set #him" menu item (for K1DAN).
- XMLog can't always handle arrow keys on log form to move through selected
entries. Added workaround for now - use Alt/left-arrow and Alt/right-arrow
if you have problems.
- Bug fix: The rig control features were sometimes giving "file not found"
errors.
- Bug fix: The counties report wasn't recognizing a QSL received date of "?".
- Bug fix: ADIF exports were not including dates if the Windows "Regional
Settings" for the date format wad not mm/dd/yy (thanks VE3IAY).
- Bug fix: Year 2000 problem - automatically generated dates (or via double-
clicking on a date field) were being created incorrectly for years > 1999
(thanks AA1IK).
*** 2.10 ***
- Added Help buttons to forms.
- Add more filtering to the DXCC/WAZ "Critical QSO Summary" reports. The
entries displayed by this report now become the "currently selected log
entries" in the main log window.
- Allow double-clicking on "Critical QSO Summary" report lines to make that
entry be the current entry in the main log window. Also works for
"Display Short/Medium/Long" and "Display All Entries for Call".
- Add a flow control selection to the rig control options screen.

1998 file.
- Added the submitted and accepted dates to the "Awards/Submission Tracking"
reports. (But reduced the number of confirmed QSOs displayed to two).
- Added new log menu item "Edit/Select US County from List". You can also
display this list by double-clicking on the county field while adding or
editing an entry.
Added new log "Awards" menu items "Counties Worked/Confirmed" and
"County Validation".
- Fixed a bug that kept the "Disconnected" message from being display when
closing an internet connection.
*** 2.06 ***
- Added import/export of ADIF (Amateur Data Interchange Format) files. This
format will hopefully become the standard for exchanging data between
logging/contesting programs.
- Added new fields for State/Province, County, IOTA and GridSquare. (No award
reports for County, Grid or IOTA implemented as yet).
Old logs will be updated to copy any state from the QTH field to the state
field. When entering new log entries the state field will automatically
be be filled in from any state in the QTH field (you don't need to enter
it twice).
- Added a new packet window menu item "File/Clear Screen History". Clears the
screen and any saved sessions.
- Added the FT-920 to the list of supported rigs.
- When adding or editing a log entry, double-clicking on the Prefix or Country
fields will allow you to select the country from the country list. You can
also choose "Edit/Select Country from List". Handy if the country "guesser"
guesses incorrectly.
- Added support for 1998 Radio Amateur Callbook CDs. XMLog tries copy the
appropropriate interface library (lgaccss1.97 or lgaccss1.98) to
lgaccss1.dll in the XMLog directory. After an update, you should exit
XMLog and restart Windows. Also - Callbook lookups using the 1998 CDs
now include the country.
- Prefixes file changes:

- Fixed a bug that was causing "File not found" errors when trying to open the
packet window.
- Allow appends to files used to record packet sessions.
*** 2.05 ***
- Added new help menu item "Display hints.txt". This file has a few pointers
for features often missed by a quick scan of the help file.
- Added latest version of Internet support libaray (CSWSKCTL.VBX replaces
CSWSOCK.VBX). Hopefully this will stop the "Can't load cswsock.dll"
messages some people were getting.
*** 2.04 ***
- Added a new log menu item "Display/Show All Entries for Call". This item will
display a list of all log entries that match the current Call field.
- Internet addresses can now include a port number.
*** 2.03 ***
- When you select "DX/Callbook Lookup" from the log window we now do a
lookup on any call from the current entry.

Alerts" under "PacketCluster Support".
*** 2.02 ***
- Fixed rig control for Yaesu rigs.
*** 2.01 ***
- Added a few more mode types
CW: A1, A1A
Phone: A3, A3E, F3, F3E, J3, J3E
Data: ATV, SSTV, J2, J2B, J2D

*** 2.00 ***
- Added support for Internet PacketCluster nodes. See help file section
"New features".

- Fixed bugs when trying to create a new log file with no filename extension.
We now assume .log for filenames given without extensions.
- Fixed a problem defining multi-line addresses in the "Log Options" screen.
The "Enter" key was closing the screen so a multi-line entry could not be
created.
- Fixed "Sort By QSO Date/Time" problem. When log entries had identical
dates/times, those entries were not always sorted in the order they were
entered. This change does not affect the sort order of current log entries,
only new entries added to the log.
*** 1.27 ***
- Added support for dd/mm/yy date format. Use the
"Options/Log Options" menu to choose the date format.
- Fixed a bug that caused crashes when the GMT offset was set to a value
greater than 9 hours.
- Awards submission tracking reports were broken, the submitted/accepted
statuses were not being reported correctly.
- Added a new option to the "Options/Labels Layout" menu, "Add callsign to
mailing labels". Setting this option formats the first line of the label as
"FirstName LastName, Callsign".
- "Print Labels" now asks if you want to erase the labels AFTER it starts
printing instead of before!
- The Packet window "PacketCluster Alerts" menu has a new option that will
include the band/mode on CW alerts.

*** 1.26 ***
- You can now define default values for any field for new log entries. This
feature is controlled by new menu items "Edit/Set Defaults for New Entries"
and "Edit/Enable Defaults for New Entries". See the help section on
"Adding New Entries" for details.
This feature replaces the old "Auto Add Date/Time" mode.
- Added voice PacketCluster alerts. To install voice alerts you must first get
a copy of the voice files (contained in waves.zip). Create a "voice"
directory within your MLOG directory and PKUNZIP waves.zip in that
directory. Then use the "DX/PacketCluster Alerts" dialog to enable voice
alerts. Check the help file section "PacketCluster Voice Alerts" for more
info.
- Added a new menu item "Options/HF Rig Comm Port Select". Use this menu
item to set up a comm port that XMLog can use to control your HF rig. If you
double-click on frequencies displayed in the packet window, XMLog will send
your rig to the appropriate frequency and mode. See the help file screen
"HF Rig Control" in the "Using the Packet Window/PacketCluster Support"
section of the help file.
- Added a new option to the packet "DX/PacketCluster Alerts" dialog. Turning
on "Don't show alert info" will disable the beam heading and QSL status line.
- Added some new shortcuts for the log window:
Ctrl+A for Edit/Add New Entry
Ctrl+M for Edit/Modify Entry
Ctrl+Q for Display/Add QSL Label to List
- Added Pratas Island (BV9P) and Scarborough Reef (BS7) to the prefixes file.
- Made the scroll bar in log window active - the screen gets updated as you
drag the position box.
- Fixed occasional bad column alignment in reports when proportional fonts are
used.
*** 1.25 ***

CD.
- Status bar changes:
Moved all packet window status messages from the caption to the status bar.
The status bar can no longer be disabled.
Added a status bar to the log window - messages are now displayed in this
bar rather than in the caption.
The status bar clocks are now enabled/disabled from the Options menu.
- Moved the log window "Sort By" option from "Edit" to "Display".
- Added a new menu item "Edit/Handle Bureau Card" to the log window. It sets
the QSL Sent/Received fields to today's date. It also adds a QSL label to
the labels list (same as choosing "Display/Add QSL Label"). This feature
is useful when you get those fat envelopes from your QSL bureau.
- While adding new log entries, you can now choose "Clear" to reset the current
entry, or choose "Stop" to exit add mode.
- A problem which caused the packet window to stall when using Windows for
Workgroups 3.11 has been fixed. (This problem had also been seen on some
Windows '95 systems).
*** 1.23 ***
- When opening logs, complain if file sharing isn't available. The changes made
in version 1.17 allowing Microsoft Access 2.0 style logs require file sharing
to be loaded. Check the "Starting XMLog" help screen for details.
- Install system files in \windows\system rather than leaving them in the mlog
directory.
- Added "Sort by QSL Sent Date" to "Edit/Sort By".
- Got the latest version of the install program "setup.exe" from MicroSoft. The
old one was giving a "Cannot start application" message if share.exe wasn't
loaded.
*** 1.22 ***
- Moved "Callbook Lookup" on the Log Window from the "Display" to the "DX"
menu. Added a "DX/Callbook Lookup" menu item to the packet window to match
the one available from the log window.
- Moved "Enable CW Alerts" from the "Options/CW Options" to "DX/Alerts". Now
all the alert stuff is in one place.
*** 1.21 ***
- Changed our name from MLog to XMLog. To prevent conversion headaches,
files and directories retain their old "mlog" names.
- The "File/Record" feature of the packet window now puts the files in a
"record" directory by default. The "Send/Send File to TNC" feature starts
at this directory by default.
- Add "Edit/Status Bar" and "Edit/Status Bar Clock" to the packet window to
allow control of status bar.
- We weren't guessing the zone for VE's whose provinces were given as two
character abbreviations.
*** 1.19, 1.20 ***
- Added a status bar to the packet window.
- "Minimizing" report display windows didn't work.
- Fixed some minor "Edit/Change Prefix" bugs.
*** 1.18 ***
- Added support for SoundBlaster compatible sound cards for CW sidetone and
CW PacketCluster alerts. For info, see the "Options/CW Options" menu item.
- Allow a double-click on an item in a "Display/..." report to load that entry
and bring it to the fore. (Instead of the old technique of using a right
button click, though we still allow that).
- The >> and << buttons weren't going through the help display items in the
right order.
- The install program prompted for a diskette if given a bad directory name
when installing from hard disk.
- Fixed packet crash (overflow) when receiving very long lines.
*** 1.17 ***
- Added "Help/Display changes.txt" to display this file.
- Added a new log menu item "Stats/WAZ Critical QSO List". See "WAZ Award
Tracking" in the Help display for details.
- Speed up all the "Stats" reports.
- Blink error messages in the log window caption a couple of times.
- New logs are created in Microsoft Access 2.0 style rather than 1.1 (we can
handle either type).
- Added some new menu items and options to allow the current date/time to be
automatically added to new log entries:
- "Edit/Add Date and Time to Entry" (Ctrl+D)
- "Edit/Auto-Add Date and Time"
- "Options/Log Options" (UTC Offset, Daylight Savings)
See "Adding Log Entries" in the Help display for details.
- Version 1.16 had a bad copy of the file import.bas
- When a bad mode field was given for a log entry, the error message was
displayed briefly and the bad mode was accepted. This only happened during
an Edit Entry and not during an Add Entry.
- If you tried a search key consisting of a comparison with no field in the
Via/QTH/Name/Notes fields, you got a couple of extraneous error messages -
"Problem Searching Log" and "Error Loading Record". No harm done however.
*** 1.16 ***
- For "Import/Import Text File" allow yes, no, y and n as QSL sent/received
dates.
- Identify the specific date field (QSO, QSL Sent/Received) in error messages.
- Prevent flakey Buckmaster lookups by making sure the callsign double-clicked
upon has a number and a letter in it somewhere.
*** 1.15 ***
- Added the packet history manager mlog-mem.dll, dramatically reduces memory
requirements and allows lines in history (and on screen) to be up to 250
characters.
- Renamed the MLog CW manager mlog-dll.dll as mlog-cw.dll
- Made the scrollbars in the log display/reports alive (the screen is updated
while dragging).
- Added context sensitive help (F1) for windows, menu items, and dialog boxes.
- Double-clicking on a blank line in the packet window caused a crash.
*** 1.14 ***
- Double-clicking on callsign in the packet window does a callbook lookup.
- Highlight found string after a successful packet search (Ctrl+F).
- Implement ANSI highlighting for the packet window. This feature is enabled or
disabled from the "Options/Packet and TNC Options" menu.
- Added a horizontal scroll bar for the packet window. This feature is enabled
or disabled using the "Edit/Horizontal Scrollbar" menu item.
- Changed the packet window backwards tab character from Ctrl+Tab to Shift+Tab
(more Windows-like). Split screen mode only.
- The "You have new mail from xxx" alert wasn't working.
- If the packet window was ever closed maximized, it would always open that way
regardless of the close state on subsequent runs of MLog.
- Fix an "off by one" bug in the packet window Page Up key.
- Fix handling of proportional fonts in the packet window.
*** 1.13 ***
- CW Pileup Mode now allows the Escape key as an alias for the F12 key (stop
sending).
- Made CW a bit more immune to system activity.
- Got rid of the "list of speeds" that F9 cycled through. Now F9 increases
speed, Shift+F9 decreases speed.
- The initial CW speed is set from "Options/CW Options", fixed things so this
value is not changed by F9, etc.
- Got rid of delays that sometimes occured when hitting a CW message key.
*** 1.12 ***
- Made the callbook lookup form "non-modal", you're not forced to close it
before moving elsewhere.
- Added a "CW Sidetone" checkbox to CW Options menu. Replaces the old
technique of setting the frequency to zero.
- Changed the status lines for spots that are needed (ones that caused an
alert). They previously contained a --, changed it to -+- so they're
easier to find with a search (Ctrl+F).
- Added LPT1/LPT2 CW keying.
- System sounds could kill CW beeping.
*** 1.11 ***
- The QTH field for VE QSO's is scanned for a province abbreviation (just like
the WAS scan). Now we fill in the zone for provinces that cover a single zone.
- Added a new CW controller.
- Don't write Ctrl+Z's to history file. They caused a premature end of file when
reading it back.
- Changed the log scan to scan until end-of-file rather than trusting the record
count in database.
*** 1.10 ***
- Added "Add to Labels List" to "Display/Callbook Lookup" dialog.
- For U.S. calls, guess the zone from the state in the QTH field.
- Added better resolution for CW timing.
- "Write Text File" when selecting "All Log Entries" now uses the current
"Sort By..." setting.
- Spots for VHF now show the DXCC status info. No more "We don't handle this
frequency..." messages.
- Changed the prefixes/totals file layout so that deleted countries are at the
end, not at the top of the files.
- Changed "Import/Import Text File" to handle 100 character notes fields.
*** 1.09 ***

- Display/Short, etc. now uses the current "sort by" criteria.
- Moved/renamed some log window menu items:
DXCC -> DX
WAS -> Stats
DXCC reports -> Stats
DXCC/Change Prefix -> Edit
*** 1.08 ***
- Inhibit "all" now only inhibits alerts, still shows status line.
- "Show country list" now can do a prefix guess or country name search.
- Smarter state recognizer - checks last word. (so "fargo, nd. - 12345" is ok).
- If the packet window is "maximized" when closed, it will now be restored as
maximized.
- Fixed import bug, exited w/o message if first entry had format error.
- Label printing was broken in 1.07
*** 1.07 ***
- Added "Edit/Sort By..." for log searches. Selected records can be sorted by
date/time, call, prefix, etc.
- Added horizontal scrolling for reports.
- Increased width of Notes field to 100, to convert old logs, unload to text
file, create a new log, reload. Prefix for lines in text files is now "350,".
- The state is added to QTH field during CT import for all contests with state
or section info.
- Make a dupe check on first record of import - you can quit or do import
anyway.
- Clicking the *right* mouse button on a line in the Display/Short... reports
moves to that entry in the main MLog window.
- Added "Edit/Delete all entries" to delete all currently selected entries.
- Added Buckmaster support.
- Clicking the *right* mouse button on a BBS summary line creates a read
command ("r ###") for that item.
- Added independent control of log report fonts and packet window fonts.
- The packet window now supports proportional fonts (though it doesn't look very
good since column alignment is lost).
- TNC escape key reassigned (F1 -> F2). Windows standards want you to use F1
as a context sensitive help key.
- Node sequence startup key reassinged (F2 -> F5). So, now use F2 F5 to start a
node connect sequence. Hopefully, this will be the last keyboard diddling.
- Added "Send/Send Clipboard".
- Added control character input. Prints blots (or boxes depending on the font).
