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.

warning text was not cleared. Tnx F5IN.
