Release information (3.1.0) :

- CAUTION : New network protocol version 1.14 released

   Reminder : If you use WT in a networked environment, you must have
   the same protocol version on all machines !

- Reverse mult check (Shift-F10) : If the mults are mode-dependent,
   (IOTA contest, ARRL 10 for ex.) worked stations are ordered by band
   and mode.

- Check mult wnd (F10) : When automatic update is engaged, any
   modification in the received exchange field updates this wnd
   accordingly. Tnx OH4JFN.

- Check mult wnd (F10) : New CQWW DX display policy for all displayed
   bands :

   1/ The exact callsign is searched
   2/ If not found, the same country with the same zone is searched
   3/ If not found, the same country whatever zone is searched

   In all cases a zone indicator is also displayed :

   'Z' means the current zone is already worked in the current country.
   'z' means the current zone is already worked in another country.

   Tnx OH4JFN.

- Contest settings dlg : New button to help filling the exchange field.

- COM properties dlg : New button to set default settings depending
   on the COM port usage. Must be tested in the real world !

- New Tools / Data entry / Remap slash to portable in VHF+ and FD
   option. This only works for callsign field in the log, for all
   VHF+ (DXPed included) and Field Day contests.

- Automatic and on-demand backups (Options / Automatic backup) : You
   can now get one different timestamped file per backup.
   Tnx DL5MLO @ DA0HQ.

- Backups : If a backup fails, you are asked if you want to disable
   the next automatic backups, if any.

- Partner wnd : When a QSO is entered, or got from the network, the
   logged callsign is checked against the content of the partner wnd,
   and accordingly removed from it. Tnx DL1MGB & DL6RAI @ DA0HQ.

- Partner wnd : When automatic exchange guessing is enabled, any
   grabbed callsign from the partner wnd is checked and exchange field
   is filled accordingly. The check partial and N+1 windows are now
   also updated. Tnx DL1MGB & DL6RAI @ DA0HQ.

- Sked wnd (Alt-B) : Pops up for a hot sked only if the main WT window
   is not iconic, to avoid visual annoyance.

- Commands / Remote command menu item added. Only enabled if there
   are several stns on the network.

- Remote command dlg : You can now also locally apply the entered
   command.

- Send gab dialog (Alt-G) : If the text starts with "/me", it is
   replaced with the station name, and the text is emphasized with
   leading and trailing star character (*), a la IRC.

- Status Wnd (Alt-J) : You can now enable (or disable) logging a
   summary of the network activity. Might be useful for network basic
   troubleshootings. This log uses the .ntk (stands for NeTworK) file
   extension.

- Bugfix : Under some circonstances, when a sync was in progress,
   multipliers tables were totally messed up ! Tnx TM0HQ and DA0HQ

- Bugfix : Automatic backup dlg : Setting the backup file path was
   disabling the automatic backup. Tnx DL5MLO @ DA0HQ.

- Bugfix : Merge progress bar title was corrupted. It now displays the
   master file name.

- Bugfix : If clocks were not in sync, the offtime timer could display
   negative time ! Tnx TM0HQ.

- Bugfix : INV (or INVENTORY) command : All networked stations were
   getting back the status, although only the sender was supposed to.

- Bugfix : Sked wnd (Alt-B) : Under some circonstances, the scrollbar
   was not initialized as expected.
