[WT-support] WT 2.0.8

[Olivier Le Cam]

Bonjour,

WT version 2.0.8 est sorti. Comme d'habitude, vous pourrez télécharger 
cette mise à jour et l'installer « par dessus » la précédente, mais 
notez qu'une petite sauvegarde ne peut pas de mal !

Parmi les nouveautés importantes : plusieurs contests ajoutés (King of 
Spain, ARI International DX, SP DX Contest, CQ-M International DX, YU 
DX, ...) et les bugs signalés récemment ont été corrigés. Par ailleurs, 
une nouvelle étape a fait son apparition lors de l'installation, et 
permet de sauvegarder si on le souhaite les fichiers .DAT (le fichier 
DXCC, les états et provinces, ...) dans un répertoire backup avant de 
les remplacer par la dernière mise à jour disponible. Je vous laisse 
découvrir la suite ci-dessous (éh oui, toujours en anglais) :

- Added a serial number column for both ARRL 10 (dx side only) and Baltic
  contests.

- Bugfix: deleting a QSO no longer disorder serial number in V/UHF contests.
  Tks F8ACF.

- ADIF files export fixed for various contests. Tnx F5IN.

- Long prefixes (LY2004 for example) are now no more truncated,
  if new prefix multiplier applies. Tnx F5IN.

- Equivalences zones files (STATES.DAT, OBLASTS.DAT, ARIPROV.DAT)
  can now have commented lines (starting with # character).

- King of Spain Contest support added.

- Baltic Contest support added.

- CQ-M country file (CTY_CQM.DAT) added within distribution,
  with last informations gathered from different sources.
  Special tnx to UA9CIR.

- ARI International DX contest support added.

- SP DX Contest : Dupe check in mixed mode was broken. Fixed.

- Bug fix: Date in REG1TEST format fixed (year must be 2 digit long only).

- New network protocol version released.

- The note file (.not) now includes the mode of the annoted QSO.

- The DX Cluster spots are now recorded in a .dxc file. Only relevant
  spots are recorded (ie the ones displayed in the Announce window). The
  main purpose of this new feature is not only to help users for
  after-contest statistics, but the file is also reloaded at startup,
  thus avoiding to send an usual SH/DX 500 to fill up the bandmaps.

- In CQWW WPX M/S or M/M grabbing a spot from another band wasn't
  modifying the serial numbering as it should do. Fixed.

- CQ-M International DX contest support added.

- When using the 'extended' DXCC list (e.g. for CQWW), 4U1VIC was still
  processed as an OE station. Fixed.

- KG4x (KG4 + 1 letter only) callsigns are now resolved to an US station.

- SP DX contest : Cabrillo file generation bug fix (mode forgotten).

- YU DX contest support added.

- RDXC country list used is now the same as for the CQWW DX. The RDXC
  rules didn't specify it ! Sorry for inconvenience. Tnx F6GOX/F5IN/RW1AC.

- Bugfix in DXCC_lookup internal function. Entering a callsign like "TK/7"
  (if you were hearing the end of W8TK/7 callsign for example) was leading
  to a violent crash !

- Bandmap windows : Spot time now displays the elapsed time since this
  spot was sent rather than spot time.

- Shift-Del deletes all chars under and after cursor position.

- Greyline display : Some glitches were still appearing during this equinox.
  Code entirely rewritten. Should be ok now (and faster...).

- Rate window : Calculations might be wrong in Mixed mode : Fixed.

- F10 window in DXped : Some modes weren't visible with some OS : Fixed.
  Tnx F5JSD/5V7C.

- Summary added for each bandmap : Displayed infos are : Spots count,
  needed QSOs count, new countries count, new zones count and
  new HQ count (IARU DX).

- Setting CW speed by calling Alt-V dialog with an entered callsign in the
  log was deleting this callsign. Fixed. Tnx F6GOX.
