[WT-support] WT 3.8.4 is out

[G3SJJ]

Thanks Olivier, CW is much better so far! No ' character transmitted and 
speed settings stable. Please consider the two remaining problems for 
future releases :

1 - The current range of 20 to 60 wpm is not practical. The range around 
30wpm covers a very narrow portion of travel, 25wpm to 35wpm is from 270 
deg to 330 deg on the speed pot.   CW speed range needs to be from 15 to 
40wpm, or user selectable.

2 - When an F Key is pressed immediately after sending on the Winkey 
paddle, no message is sent. The operator has to delay hitting the F Key 
to make this work.
