[WT-support] WT 4.9.0 release

[Hal Offutt]

Hello,

In Olivier's message of October 26 (copied below) the following sentence 
appears:

Quote

- Bugfix : The exceptions callsigns of the CTY*.DAT files were wrongly
   parsed when operated from another DXCC entity (ex. W6HGF/KH0).
   Tnx JE2UFF.

Unquote

I don't understand what this means.  Can someone please explain what 
"exceptions callsigns" are and what "parsed" mean?  Or maybe give me an 
example.

I will be operating from another DX entity in CQWWDX CW (CT8/W1NN).  Will 
the above bug be a major problem to me if I do not upgrade?  My current 
version of WT (4.5.1) has bs been working fine for me on my Vista laptop and 
I would rather not upgrade if I don't have to.  (I do understand that if I 
upgrade it should be to 4.9.1, not 4.9.0).

Thanks & 73

Hal W1NN
