[Tlf-devel] TLF-1.1.4 maintenance release

[Thomas Beierlein]

A new TLF bug maintenance release is available at

https://github.com/downloads/Tlf/tlf/tlf-1.1.4.tar.gz

It is a minor maintenance release which corrects a lot of small
annoying problems found by different people in last months (e.g. Fred
DH5FS, Pierefrancesco IK5PVX and others).

From the NEWS file:

New features:
    - ask for confirmation about reported problems in config files to
give you time to recognize the problems.
    - Rework of digimode handling together with fldigi.
      Fix digimode receiove routine 'rx_rtty()', make miniterm output
more robust and update miniterm also while the cursor is in the
exchange field. Drop some unneeded newlines for each function key
macro. 
    - Minor corrections and additions to the man page

Bug fixes:
    - Old version segfaults in 'searchlog' function if a really long
callsign filled the input field.
    - Parsing logic for special characters in own exchange (# ...) do
not rely anymore on a trailing NL to the exchange macro.
    - Fix sidetone control. Recognise CWTONE=0 in logcfg.dat, work
around a bug in cwdaemon which does not allow to switch tone back on
afterwards.
    - Stop flickering cursor between input or exchange field and dupe 
      searchwindow.
    - fix Alt-t (tune) function to switch tuning on for 6 seconds (can
be stopped early with any key press). 
      !!Be aware that there are some problems in different cwdaemon
versions 
      (no PTT keying, no chance to stop tuning early, ...). Working
      with the maintainer to fix it.

Further ongoing work:

 - Switch digimode communication to socket or XMLRPC interface which is
   preferred by FLDIGI
 - work on new cabrillo output which fixes known bugs and allows better
   control of log format
