11.01 January, 2012
- This version has extensive compiler and tool updates. Requires Windows 2000 and later.
- Most, but not quite all, of the setup dialogs are consolidated into one of two new tabbed dialogs. All the menu entries still exist, but now go to the appropriate tab and dialog. You can change to the other tabs from there, so now there are multiple ways to get at the entries. One of the tabbed dialogs is “WriteLog Options” and controls items saved for any WriteLog instance for the current user, and the other is “WriteLog Document settings” and controls items that are saved in the .wl file.
- Internet logbook no longer needs a separate MSSOAP install.

- The chart features use Microsoft plug-in now.
- getscores.org is supported directly from WriteLog.
- Improve the echo-mic feature for less latency in the Vista/Win7 mode.
- ILQP sent-field length now long enough for all county combinations.
- re-arranged menu entries, but none were removed.
- The NetDDE option for networking is removed. TCP/IP is the only networking option.
