Re: [Tlf-devel] Problems noted during Sweepstakes

[Thomas Beierlein]

Hi Ben and others,

I did some more work on the Sweepstake exchange handling. I fixed
display and some possible segfaults (if you enter a 5 digit serial
e.g.) (See repo).

Again (as in TLF-0.9.xx series) you will find the recognized
Sweepstake input in the lower line of the section check window. Check
that all is there before logging the qso.

Normal input is serial, precedent, check and section (try a space after
the section if it is not recognized).

I hope it got fixed, but could not reproduce your problem. 

I will see to fix the Voicekeyer problem (amixer call) tomorrow and
then do a new prerelease before SS this weekend.
