Hi the list,

Win-Test version 2.3.0 is available for download at: 
http://download.win-test.com/wt-2.3.0.exe

NB: We have done lots of modifications in the interfaces management. 
Despite of the tests we made, they still can be some side effects with 
your particular environment, and we strongly suggest to you to well 
check that all is working as usual (radios, cluster, misc interfaces, ...)

As usual, the release file follows:

- "DTR always_on" in wt.ini not used anymore: this can be set in the
   "setting interface" windows directly.

- The "Interface configuration" was changed into different points:

   - "PTT/CW for Radio 1/2" option is removed from the serial port
   devices list. You should select "Other interface" instead.

   - The "configure" button associated with each device open a new
   COM port property window, which allow to set more precisely
   how to manage either DTR or RTS lines: one can select between:
   handhake, CW, PTT, always ON, always OFF, Active radio. For CW
   and PTT, one can also select which radio is concerned with.

   These settings are available with every devices connected to the
   serial port, even with a TNC or WT Network.

   - The datas sent to the LPT1 printer port can now be more
   precisely defined, clicking on the "configure" button located
   near the LPT1 checkbox. One can change the LPT port address, and
   define which data are sent (DVK, DVK/STOP, Data bands, Active
   Radio, CW/PTT. NB: both DVK/STOP and Band data are sharing the
   pin 2! Some SO2R interfaces can support this, as the DVK/STOP
   signal is only a short pulse. Please check the manual of your
   SO2R interface to insure that it supports this feature.

   These modifications imposed many changes in the source code. I
   tried to carry out many checks but it is not safe from a side
   effect in your particular environement. I recommend to you to
   check well as your equipment is still working as before (radio,
   packet/internet cluster, CW/PTT interfaces, band decoder, ...).

- Croatian CW Contest added.

- Scrollbars in Gab (Alt-I), Packet (Alt-O)  and Spots (Alt-A) windows
   added. Tnx F5TNI.

- QSX frequency automagically added in split mode when sending a spot
   to the DX Cluster (Alt-F3).

- NOCUT, SEMICUT, FULLCUT and PROCUT text commands added to mimics menu
   items for CW cut numbers.

- Cut numbers adjustment :
   - SEMICUT includes T = 0 only.
   - FULLCUT includes T = 0, A = 1, N = 9 (usual case).
   - PROCUT includes T = 0, A = 1, U = 2, V = 3, E = 5, B = 7, D = 8 and
     N = 9 (for those who were born with a keyer in their hand).

- Alt-F8 CT compatibility added to wipe current QSO.

- Ctrl-Shift + Up/Down arrows grabs spots even if they are not needed
   QSO (can be a dupe or a 0 points).

- Bugfix : When specifiying a root directory for logs output, the export
   was failing. Tnx F8CRH.

- Bugfix : Modifying the default directory for logs output was
   cancelling the choosen output formats.

- Bugfix : In CQWW DX, /MM stations are no more credited for country
   multiplier.

- Bugfix : Some windows were not updated after hitting Alt-W, and the
   warning text was not cleared. Tnx F5IN.

- Bugfix : Big scores display in RateSheet window (Ctrl-F9) was
   showing negative hourly points in some circonstances.

- English reference manual included into the distribution package.

- wtDxTelnet included into the distribution package.

Enjoy!
