I would like to announce the second prerelease for the coming TLF-1.2.2.
You can find it at
http://www.hs-mittweida.de/tb/tlf-1.2.2_pre2.tar.gz
or download it from github. The main changes since pre release 1 are
fixes and improvements for the WAEDC code and some first steps to
improve the bandmap display.
New features:
* Improved bandmap display
- display actual QRG on bandmap
- center bandmap around QRG
- update bandmap every second
- do not show WARC spots in contest mode
Improvements to WAEDC QTC handling (by HA2OS)
* allow a list of stations known to give QTC's (maybe from last year)
QTC_CAP_CALLS=QTC_calls.txt
If you use this option, then Tlf will put a "P" flag (means "previous")
near known station ifrom the list on bandmap, and in worked window.
Eg: 7001.0 * R9AA P
* new QTC capable flags: 'L': 'later', 'N': 'NO'
You can mark a station on the bandmap for QTC "L"ater or "N"o QTC
with Ctrl-L and CTRL-N respective. Flags will automatically deleted
as soon as you get at least one QTC from the station.
The flags will be stored in a separated file, called
QTC_meta.log. If you exit from Tlf, and you start it again
later, the marked informations will be available.
* stations which can give still more QTC's will not be marked as
dupe on the bandmap
* Set QTC_AUTO_FILLTIME keyword in logcfg.dat to automatically fill in the
the hour for the QTC time
(Some stations send only a short time format, e.g. "34 DL3XYZ 9999").
CTRL-F just fills in the last received hour if QTC_AUTO_FILLTIME
is not enabled.
* You can use ENTER or SPACE to advance between fields in the QTC window.
* manually start and stop QTC recording with CTRL-R in QTC window,
Bug fixes:
* Fix some problems with using LAN mode for WAEDC
For our native english speakers: It would be nice if you could have a
look at the README_QTC.txt and README_QTC_RTTY.txt and help us to
improve the text - Ervin HA2OS is a good coder but some help in
translation would be appreciated.
As always please test and give some feedback.
As for the plan for the tlf-1.2.2 itself. We would like to fix the
following problems before the final release:
- Complete a native cabrillo generation for WAEDC contest
- Improve the documentation for WAEDC
- Do some further fixes and cleanups
If all goes well we expect the final version around mid or end of
October.
