Release information: v 3.2.0 (Aug 30, 2006)

- CIS contest : Adapted to the new rules 2006 (bands : 160m to 10m).
   The Contests of the month faeture is also updated. Tnx F5IN.

- CheckPartial (F12) and N+1 (F8) windows : New option in the
   contextual menu to limit searches to the available space of these
   windows.

   It is only useful for very slow configurations : For a given
   callsign, once the window is filled, no more search is performed,
   even if the window is resized.

   By default, this option is disabled, meaning that if more matching
   callsigns are available (because [+n] is displayed), you can now
   display them by enlarging these windows on the fly.

- New network protocol advanced settings dlg in the interface settings
   dlg.

   *CAUTION* : Modifications of the default settings must be considered
   with an extreme attention. It is reserved for very particular
   configurations or purposes, mainly used by expert users. You're on
   your own !

   We offer some preset example configurations :

   - Silent time master : Can be used if the computer is used to *only*
     distribute an accurate clock. It will not appear in the status
     wnd of the other networked computers, but it will be listed in
     an INVENTORY command. Note that NO QSO will be recorded on
     (and sent from) this machine with this preset.
	
   - Silent backup : Can be used if the computer is *only* used for
     this purpose : It will not appear in the status window of the
     other networked computers, but will be listed in a INVENTORY
     command.

   - Packet sharing : Can be used if different stations are networked
     with different callsigns, do not want a common log, but want to
     share a commun packet stream. Can be used for several single-ops
     stations for example.

   - Silent log rebuilding : Can be used if you need to rebuild from
     scratch a complete log from networked stations, without appearing
     in the status wnd of the other networked computers, but will be
     listed in a INVENTORY command.

- RDA Contest : Cursor positioning after exchange guessing modified,
   depending on the guessed region or district and the callsign.
   Tnx HA1AG, UA6AA.

- User interface : You can now drag any child wnd (except the RTTY
   windows) by using the Ctrl key (held down) and left-click anywhere
   in the wnd. It avoids to click strictly in the title bar region.

- TOEC contest : It is now held in September instead of August. Thus,
   the "Contests of the month" checkbox feature is updated. Tnx F5IN.

- New feature : Flexible and powerful bandplans management. See (among
   others) the Options / Bandplans menu item.

- Partner wnd : You can now enter data from the secondary radio wnd.
   Tnx OH4JFN.

- Partner wnd : New "No band/mode filtering" contextual option added.
   Might be useful in some unusual cases.

- New options in the integrated voice keyer settings to mute or not
   the microphone input.

   Reminder : These settings can be modified on the fly with the
   following text commands :

   - MIC : Enables the mic input when the VK is not playing
   - NOMIC :  Mutes the mic input when the VK is not playing (*)
   - MICWHENPLAY : Enables the mic input when the VK is playing
   - NOMICWHENPLAY : Mutes the mic input when the VK is playing (*)

   (*) Default settings.

- Band changes Alt-F1/F2 : WT is now compliant with WL and CT :

   ALT-F1  Next lower band   20 -> 40 -> 80 -> 160 -> 10 -> 15 -> 20
   ALT-F2  Next higher band  20 -> 15 -> 10 -> 160 -> 80 -> 40 -> 20

   "Lower" means "Lower frequency"...

   The menu item labels, and the toolbar tooltips are consistent with
   this behaviour.

   Tnx I2WIJ, DL4NER, F6BEE.

- New Options / Windows / Default opened windows feature. This dialog
   allows you to select the default windows which are opened when a
   new contest log is created.

- Check partial wnd (F12) and N+1 (F8) wnd : A double click on a
   callsign inserts it in the callsign field. Tnx F6IRF.

- New extra informations window (Alt-X => Stands for eXtra).

   This window displays data included in .xdt (eXtra DaTa) files.
   These files are textual and have a very basic "Callsign Data"
   syntax.

   The # TITLE directive is used to display a title in the wnd.

   You can set up to 10 default extra data files by a new menu
   (Options / Data files / Default data files). These files will be
   opened with every log. They must be located in the WT installation
   directory.

   You can also add log-specific extra data files by using the
   "Extra files..." item in the contextual menu of this wnd.
   There is no limitation to the location and the number of these
   log-specific files.

   Some usages of this new feature :

   - VHFers can have a database of stations QRV on such or such band,
     to ask for a QSY.
   - Operators names
   - List of WT users ;-)
   - etc...

   This feature is tailored to deal with few thousands of callsigns
   only. Don't try it with millions of lines !

   If you modify an .xdt file while it is in use, you must reload it
   by using the "Reload files" item menu.

   The # VARIABLE directive allows you to sent the extra information
   in a CW message by using a variable name. The variable name
   *must* begin with the $ character.

   Example : # VARIABLE $OPNAME will substitute the $OPNAME string
   in the CW messages with the extra info included in this file, if
   the sent callsign has matching data.

   *CAUTION* : The variable subsitution only works with the internal
   CW keyer for now.

- To enhance CT compatibility, Alt-F5 saves the current mode and freq
   as the Run freq/mode. It means you can use this command to "store"
   these data without using the F1 key.

- ADIF export : If a power level is set in the contest setup dialog,
   this string is exported in the <TX_PWR> field of every QSO record.
   Tnx W4TME.

- ADIF export : New option to include the contest name in the NOTES
   field of every QSO. Tnx W4TME.

- Cabrillo export : New option to exclude modes in the Cabrillo file.
   Tnx TM0HQ.

- Bugfix : CheckPartial wnd (F12) : In some cases, the result list
   was wrong if the pattern started or ended with a question mark.

- Bugfix : N+1 wnd (F8) : If the wnd width was smaller than one result
   cell, WT crashed. Tnx DJ3WE.

- Bugfix : CheckPartial wnd (F12) : In some cases, the result list was
   truncated, although there was more available empty space.

- Bugfix : Some frequency fields (especially in dialogs) didn't accept
   the dot character.

- Bugfix : Partner wnd : Ctrl-# (exchange current callsign with line #)
   was crashing partner WTs.

- Bugfix : WAEDC : After entering the keyboard mode while the QTC
   window was opened (Alt-L), WT was crashing on the first keypress.
   Tnx DL1MGB.

- Bugfix : Internal CW keyer : Speed modifications by Alt-F9/F10
   during the +/- "bursts" *should* work now. Tnx OH2UA, OH4JFN, F5VIH
   and others.

- Bugfix : Check country wnd (F10) : The geographical and timezone
   exceptions included in the CTY_WT_MOD.DAT weren't used in the WAE,
   RGSB 15/10 and PACC contests. Tnx F5IN.

- Bugfix : After entering a freq, and hitting Alt-Up, the keyer sent
   the freq instead of the callsign ! Tnx F6BEE.
