Release notes 3.15.0 (Aug 8, 2007)
----------------------------------

- New set of CW/RTTY variables dedicated to the WAE

   Receive QTC window:
	$MYCALL:	Send my callsign
	$VALID:		Save everything and close the window
	$QTC:		Send <group>/<number>
	$NEXT:		Move focus to the next QTC line

   Transmit QTC window:
	$MYCALL:	Send my callsign
	$VALID:		Save everything and close the window
	$QTC:		Send <group>/<number>
	$NEXT:		Move focus down to the next QTC line
	$13:		Send carriage return character (specific to RTTY)
	$TIME:		Send time of the current QTC
	$CALLSIGN:	Send callsign of the current QTC
	$SERIAL:	Send serial number of the current QTC
	$DONE:		If all QTC are sent: mimic the + key
	$SERIE:		Send the QTC serie (specific to RTTY)

- The CW/RTTY messages specific to the WAE contest (QTC
   Receive/Transmit) windows can now be redefined in the menu
   "Options | CW/RTTY | Modify WAE messages...".

   It is also possible to modify the label texts of the buttons for
   both the "QTC Transmit" and the "QTC Receive" windows. The variable
   $QTC can be used and will be replaced by the appropriate QTC
   group/number in the "QTC Transmit" window.

- RTTY leg of the WAE contest now supported in beta test.
   QTC groups and series will be highlighted in the RTTY window.

   Assuming you receive the following sequence:

   QTC: 65/2 QTC: 65/2
   0917-GI8HXY-146
   0918-G8UBJ-068

   First click on one of the highlighted "QTC: 65/2": this will
   automatically open the "QTC Receive" window and fill the
   QTC group field.

   Then click on each QTC serie highlighted lines. Again, they
   will be passed automatically to the "QTC Receive" window.

- Sub VFO programming from the bandmap: added for Tentec Orion, FT-2000,
   FTDX-9000

- SWAP Radios feature rewritten. To be tested with various rigs!

- CW-Reverse mode added for some Radios:
	- Orion
	- All kenwood Radios supporting CW-Reverse
	- All radios using a Kenwood-based protocol which are supporting
	  CW-Reverse (Elecraft, SDR-1000).
	- All Icom which are supporting CW-Reverse.
	- FT-1000MP/MkV, FT-2000, FTDX-9000
   Other rigs can be considered as far as the protocol can handle it.
   Please tell us!
   There is no setting in WT in order to enable/disable this feature.
   Just set the CW Reverse on the radio, WT will remember that setting
   for the next time the mode must be programmed onto the radio.
