You can also upgrade the docs/en/ directory by manally downloading a 
zipped package of the doc pages here :

A pdf file, which content is similar to the static html pages is also 
available here :

Finally, these files (zip and pdf) are rebuild *every night*, ensuring 
that you always download up-to-date information.

Many tnx to the wiki team : Simon M0CLW, Ben DL6RAI, Bob I2WIJ and 
Werner DL4NER. This team maintains the (high) avaibility of the site, 
append and correct pages almost every day ! Kudos to all !

Have fun with Win-Test !

======================================================================

3.11.0 (may 18, 2007)

- CAUTION : New network protocol version 1.18 released

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

- Help files : Online help now leads to the Win-Test wiki site. Every
   dialog and child window has its own help page.

   Special tnx to the wiki team M0CLW, DL6RAI, DL4NER, I2WIJ.

- VHF+ contests : Distances can be expressed in miles :

   New option to display distances in miles in all windows except the
   stats windows where new items were added (Miles and avg mi/QSO) to
   ensure compatibility and consistancy.

   The objectives keywords allowed for distances are now :

   Distance in km => KM DISTKM
   Avg distance in km => AVGKM KMAVG
   Distance in miles => MI DISTMI MILES
   Avg distance in miles => AVGMI MIAVG

   To avoid any confusion, the DIST and DISTANCE keywords are no more
   valid.

   A new field has also been added in the export function to get
   QSO distance in miles.

   Tnx K3LR, W9ZRX.

- Gridsquares map (Alt-L) : The current gridsquare (4-chars) is
   displayed even if the callsign field is empty. Tnx DK5TX.

- Interface setup dialog : The last part of the IP broadcast address
   can now be different from 255. Tnx SP5ELA.

   method of scoring, according to the different RSGB rules.
   Tnx G3TXF, GM0ELP, G3UFY and others...

- ARI contests : The (IS0) Medio Campidano province abbreviation

- New option in the Options / Automatic backup dlg to notify the user
   when a backup is completed by a warning under the log lines.

- Markers files (.mkr extension) : If the comment includes a valid
   4-char or 6-char grid square, the tooltip displays the heading and
   the distance to this grid square. It also displays the marker label
   if it is not entirely visible in the bandmap wnd.

- Bugfix : Helvetia (H26) contest : Mixed category allows only one
   QSO per band, whatever mode used. And Cabrillo output log in multi

   Tnx DJ3WE and HB9CZF.

- Bugfix : Spelling and grammar mistakes in menus and dialogs.
   Tnx ES5TV, DL6RAI.

- Bugfix : WPX contest : Some very long and fake callsigns (like

   Tnx ES5TV and 9A5CW.
