  • The Op Modes menu can now be customised
  • Removed the floating rig control window
  • Removed various Alt-< key > shortcuts

  • Expanded video ID text for Olivia, Contestia and RTTY
  • Amended macro editor < ID > explanation
  • Changed format of auto-generated video ID text.
  • Increased number of characters to 8 for both font sizes
  • Simplified video generation methods
  • Added limit switches on video width
  • 500 Hz for US HF compliance
  • Mode bandwidth, video constrained to mode in use bw
  • Added abbreviated video mode name strings
  • Added FEC indicator for DominoEX FEC modes
  • Other changes:
  • The XML-RPC server now supports HTTP/1.1 keep-alive connections
  • Added several new XML-RPC methods

  • Removed obsolete command line switches: --twoscopes, --experimental
  • Improved support for PulseAudio, now also the default backend on Linux
  • The ^R string is no longer treated like ^r; it is now ignored unless at the end of the text to be transmitted
  • The Portaudio playback stream is no longer kept open in receive mode; this fixes a problem with certain rig interfaces that generate a PTT signal even when the audio is complete silence
  • Improved win32 serial port support
  • Disable word wrap when file insert or drag-n-drop operation s performed. Restore word wrap to former state after TX is finished or TX panel is cleared.

  • Changed default to Extended Characters for Olivia, Contestia and MT63
  • Changed default to "Capture wrapped messages"
  • Suppressed RSID transmit for unassigned RTTY, OLIVIA and CONTESTIA modes.
  • Changed QRZ.com xml server page to "xml.qrz.com"
  • Beginners Guide - Updated for new Lk and RsID button behaviors
  • PH Cabrillo report generator - added SSB to USB, LSB, PH log entries which generate the PH Cabrillo report category.
  • Bug fixes:
  • The MT63 transmit buffer is now correctly initialized
  • Fixed random exceptions-related crashes on win32
  • Stabilized AFC for all PSK baud rates
  • Improved sensitivity of RSID implementation
