cw scanner
. adds multi signal scanner / browser
Sound Card
. keep input and output sound card devices open for duration of
fldigi execution
. Corrected tune output device
. Changed tune, wfid, video and cw id to use tx offset
CW QSY
. Correct QSY when transceiver in CW and CW-R type modes
CALL field size
. Increased CALL, OP_CALL, STA_CALL from 15 to 30 chars
LOG area controls
. Resize controls to add County entry control. Allow user
to select which extra qso field is displayed; country or
county.
Version 4.0.3
CW code update
. Changed all element timing to number of samples
both CW and CW scanning detectors
. Removed FIR filter. FFT filter only for CW signal path.
. Removed Hilbert transform from CW signal path
. Update CW documentation
OS X Wizard
. Discovered cause of Wizard failure on OS X
- newly created dialogs cannot be accessed until actually shown.
CW wait
. Correct Windows performance at end of CW Tx text
- program should wait for keyboard input
- terminate with the ^r character pair
- terminate with control-r
- terminate with the T/R button
Version 4.0.2
Revert "wefax"
. This reverts commit 5609415222335e9376defc325f20ae29c5c8c8ca.
. Modifies wefax.cxx iaw request from Remi, wefax author
Lotw Match
. fix failure to mark logbook as dirty when records are matched
flrigi bw synch
. Improve bandwidth table / selection sync with flrig when changing
xcvr mode from fldigi
Clang 8.1.0
. Correct warning notification with latest Clang compiler on
macOS Sierra 10.12.4
Sound card
. Changed to separate Rx/Tx soundcard instances
- only open/close when samplerate changes
- attempt to reduce incidence of lost sound card in OS X
IFKP image processing
. Rx processing failed to return to TEXT state upon conclusion of
image transfer
Macro Save
. Corrected issue with macro tag "Save"
CW end of transmit
. Add <LF> character to Rx echo text when going from Tx to Rx
- provides visual separation of Tx and Rx text in the Rx panel
- color rendition still applies.
Font Initialization
. Force all font initialization to be name dependent
. Font name / Font number can change as user installs or removes
fonts from the OS with potentially fatal impact on fldigi font usage.
. May require user to reconfigure various font selections
OS X socket connect
. connect test for fail conditions not correct for OS X
Winkeyer exit process
. Release resources when closing Winkeyer
. Issue ADMIN:CLOSE command to Winkeyer when disconnecting or
closing fldigi.
Version 4.0.1
Socket connect
. FreeBSD mod causes seg fault on non BSD platforms
- make change OS dependent
Version 4.0.0
OS X 10.12 build
. Compile changes for OS X Darwin 10.12 Clang build
STATION_CALLSIGN
. Change adif field STATION_CALL to STATION_CALLSIGN compliant with
adif specification
Free BSD mods
. Compliance mods for current version of Clang compiler
Logbook mods
. Update log field LOTWSDATE for each record sent to LOTW when the
upload file is created
. clear LOTWSDATE field if lotw rejects submission or fails to
respond within 25 seconds
. insure that lotw review dialog closes on program exit
. restore tabular sort order when adding a record
Default Tx Audio
. Change default audio output to both channels
remove sprintf
. change all remaining occurances of sprintf to snprintf
Documentation update
. New documentation for winkeyer interface
n3fjp logger search
. set initial search for n3fjp server to 5 second intervals
fopen->fl_fopen
. update to UDF-8 compatible fopen call
48 bar macro
. allow user to select above / below Rx/Tx panels
CW decoder
. Improved CW decoder
- removed user adjustable signal level controls
- added automatic tracking filters for Rx signal level
- tracking filters change parameters with detected WPM.
DX cluster
. Update dxcluster QSY to correctly align signal to sweet spot
when transceiver is in a CW mode.
. add ability to respond to password prompt
Logbook support
. Add checkband test to new log entry before writing record
. Added BAND control to log view, contest tab
- fldigi does not use the BAND field, it is present as a
convenience for exporting or importing from log programs
that do use it.
- the control is on the contest tab since that seems to be
the most common use for BAND (e.g. field day event).
. OS X file naming dialog drops the ".adif" extension.
- add code to insure newlog etc have the correct extension.
WinKeyer
. Added embedded WinKeyer interface
fsq ifkp s/n computation
. Additional change to s/n measurement
fltk version update
. update all fluid generated source and header files
Macro Date Time Formats
. Allow user to specify the date time format using strftime format
strings
- <ZT> becomes <ZT:"%H%M%S">; <ZT:"%H:%M:%SZ"> etc.
- <ZT:fmt> fmt is the strftime format string
if the ':fmt' is not in the macro tag then the current format
is used
lotw addition
. Add jt9 modes for lotw upload
. Allow up to 7 numerals in frequency element
THOR/IFKP Image transfers
. Add auto save Rx images to
- Thor
- IFKP
. Corrected IFKP send image sequencing
- pic%[T] where T is image scale was not being sent before the
image fascimille.
. Added Thor and IFKP image transfer using the <IMAGE:fname> macro
tag
ifkp s/n update
. Change to s/n measurement
- noise measured over full range of possible signal bins
- noise referenced to 3000 Hz bandwidth
