4.22.0 (August 26, 2016)

- WAE CW : DX side : The CW speed used when sending the QTC is now
   preserved between sessions, and the Rate wnd is updated accordingly.
   No need to juggle with Alt-F9/F10 anymore.

- Bugfix : WAEDC : DX side CW / SSB : The potential QTC weren't
   displayed in the radio wnd (bandmap or list) despite the option
   was checked.

- Callsign Wnd (F9) : Tooltip more readable.

- Bugfix : WAEDC : The left and right arrows now work correctly in the
   dialog to chose the number of QTC to send.

- New behaviour of the $NEXT variable in the QTC transmit messages to
   make life much easier (and less confusing) for the DX stations in
   the WAEDC CW contest.

   - $NEXT must be the first variable in the Ins message. The default
     message is now :

     $NEXT $DONE $TIME $CALLSIGN $SERIAL

     ** Update your current message if it is not **

   - When $NEXT is executed, the active QTC jumps to the next one ONLY
     if the current QTC has been already sent.

   With this new behaviour, the usual QTC transmission sequence is now :

   - Ctrl-L / Enter (or 1 to 9) to chose the number of QTC to send
     (usually 10).
   - After the QTC dlg shows up, exchange the QRV? and the QTC series
     number with the recipient.
   - From now, hit Ins for every QTC to send, one after the other.
   - If the recepient requests a full resend of the QTC just sent,
     use CR. If he requests an individual field, use the appropriate
     Fx key or button. If the QTC is ack'ed, use Ins to send the
     next one.
   - When all QTC of the series have been sent (and acknowledged),
     use Ins one last time (or Plus) to thank and save the QTC series.

   In these conditions, you normally shouldn't need to use the Up/Down
   arrows anymore unless exceptional circumstances.

- CW and RTTY : New $RAWSERIAL variable. Sends the serial number of
   the QSO with leading zeros and without any abbreviation. Now used in
   the default F3 msg (if it applies) to repeat the serial in a more
   traditional way. It also works in the QTC messages.

- Bugfix : QTC transmit dlg : The active QTC wasn't correctly
   highlighted when using the Ctrl-Fx buttons.

- Script manager dialog : Ctrl + Double click on a script brings the
   properties dialog.

- IOTA contest : If the IOTA ref is pre-filled from the callsign field
   content, the new IOTA warning is now displayed if applicable.
   Tnx F5LIW.

- IOTA contest : EXPERIMENTAL : Separate numbering for Multi-One and
   Multi-Two categories : The RUN or RUN1 stations use a sequence of
   odd numbers (starting at 1), and the MULT or RUN2 stations use a
   sequence of even numbers (starting at 2).

- IOTA contest : Multi-Two category added. Tnx G3WVG.

- IOTA contest : The WAE entities list is now used to prefill the
   island reference more accurately (ex GM/s stations). Tnx N6TV.

- The DVK bargraph can now be horizontal (default) or vertical.

- Internal DVK : The first and last 100 ms of the messages are now
   truncated to prevent the keys and mouse clicks to be heard.
   Tnx SM5AJV and N6TV.

- RTTY shortcuts buttons are now a bit thicker to accommodate older
   eyes. Tnx SP5GRM.

- Bugfix : The default Check Partial / N + 1 file for VHF contests was
   HF.DTB instead of VHF.DTB. Tnx DK5KMA.

- Bugfix : When 4.20 and 4.21 were on the same LAN (not recommended),
   with sync enabled, 4.21 was hanging. Tnx N6TV.

- Bugfix : IARU HF : If an HQ was 2 characters long, it was ignored.

- Additional CW and RTTY variables :
   - $LOC4 and $GRID4 are equivalent to $GRIDFIELD.
   - $LOC6 and $GRID6 are equivalent to $GRIDSQUARE or $LOCATOR.
