Release Information v4.4.0:

- Bugfix (#255): K1EL WinKey USB CW timing becomes very poor
   (Farnsworth style) when PTT delay is default 50 ms. This was caused
   by too low hardcoded value (80ms) of the PTT Tail delay. This delay
   is now configurable in the Winkey Properties Dialog Box.

   Tks F5JSD, K1EL.

   Contest Recorder Module. Tks N6TV, NR5M.
