Revision History-Version 10 – WriteLog Contesting Software

This page itemizes the changes added to WriteLog since 1999.

Here is a description of WriteLog version numbering conventions.

10.90 October, 2011

Update many modules for cosmetic changes to GUI.

10.89 September, 2011

FTDX-9000 driver updated for custom rig command timing correction.
This version was never released for download.

10.88 August, 2011

Many modules changed to remove the chance of repeated setup dialogs.
Rookie Roundup module updated to click better in digital modes.
OHQP update 80m/40m band edges and 4 digit serial numbers.

10.87 July, 2011

Handle MOUSE_WHEEL_HZ=0 correctly for all rigs.

Add [YAESU_COMMANDS] for keyboard macros for certain Yaesu rigs.
Add 1.2m, 70cm and 33cm bands to Field Day module.
On Windows Vista and later, create a “Edit Writelog.ini” entry in the Start Menu. Known limitation: if, before running WriteLog the first time, this icon is selected by a newly created user, or the first thing selected after a new full install of WriteLog, it will offer to create an empty writelog.ini, which will omit copying the installer-provided writelog.ini entries in the system area on those OS’s. Don’t do that.
Update OKQP, INQP, New England QP, TNQP, OHQP, FISTS for redundant setup dialogs.
Fix internet logbook failure to download network frequencies if it has none to upload.
Make IARU module Contest/Parameter Setup followed by Contest/calc restore respond to changed IARU zone
Fix problem that duplicates QSOs when recovering a journal while networked.

Add NS as alias for VE1 to 7QP module.
Support “pipes” mode for WinKey+OTRSP box as alternative to virtual COM ports.
Add FTDX-5000 rig driver and change RIT clear command for this, FTDX-9000, and FT-2000.
Update NVQP module.
Update MIQP module.
Update IOTA module.
Update NMQP, GAQP, WIQP, VAQP modules.

Add Maritime QSO party.

10.85 May, 2011

Add “COMM PTT”=YES support to IC-7200 driver
Make WinKey driver work with certain Win98 COM port drivers.

Fix WPX band change tracking parameters.
Add “none” to Band Change Window setting and remember Band Change window setting in [Multipliers]BandChangeSetting.

10.84 February, 2011

Winkey again. This time add BufferLevelSetting to the ini file and account for the fact that the half-space (a caret in WL’s message buffer) is not echoed back.
Fix the Echo Mic again, and add more tuning parameters.
Fix a crash if you setup a custom log with no multiplier checking.
Fix the K3 rig driver to not issue audio commands when Headphones are set split.
If the [RttyContextMenuEntries] only has one entry, then a right click invokes it without popping up a one-entry menu.
A PushCall operation, either from the RTTY window right click, or from the WriteLog Entry window menu, both push the call to the stack only on their own Entry Window, rather than to all Entry Windows that happen to be on the same band. (PushCall operations are still repeated over the network, and all networked machines with multiple Entry Windows will still stack the call on all Entry Windows that match the band of the push.)

10.83 January, 2011

Winkey driver batches characters through the OS, and supports Winkey CT Spacing
Winkey driver aborts auto-cq on touching paddles.
Add getscores script for: WAE RTTY contest, ARRL 10M, ARRL 160M, CQWW.

Update MNQP for 2011 rules.
Fix slow-to-read file in FOC module.
Add ARRL Round UP .gus file for getscores.org.
Update CTY_RUS.DAT.

Simplify WritelogIARU.gus script for getscores.org. No need to wire-in the name of the .wl file.
Fix the bug that prevents the getscores.org Universal Score Poster from posting multiplier totals who’s column contains lower case letters (like “Sec” for ARRL SS).
Add a getscores.org script for ARRL SS.

10.81 October, 2010

Fix bug that fails to finish transmitting a message containing %C if the QSO is logged before the callsign is sent.
Add % sequences in message buffers that will execute rig commands.
Add the eight custom great circle databases from www.country-files.com. The INI entries that control Great Circle lookups are no longer in WRITELOG.INI but instead are in GreatCircle.ini, which is always located in WriteLog’s Application Data directory. The directory varies with operating system. It is c:\ProgramData\Writelog on Windows 7.
Fix %E processing for CW messages. The end-of-message character needs to be ignored for all CW drivers, not just some of them.
Add Kenwood TS-2000 rig driver.
Add [Kenwood_TS850_Commands] and [Kenwood_TS2000_Commands].
The Elecraft K3 rig driver’s support of two Entry Window operation is completely redone. It now maps VFOA to one window and VFOB to the other.

%P followed by a digit selects the most recent previous QSO on the same radio.
The INSERT key on the keyboard now (after all these years), in addition to its original behavior, also moves the cursor to the first field in the exchange instead of leaving it alone. This new feature is turned off by default, but can be turned on with [entry]AdvanceCursorOnInsert=1
In the Rttyrite screen, the right click menu now has a PushCall entry, that puts the call in the call stack.
Certain settings of the Vista-style WlogSbControl, simply did not connect to the sound board.
Add support for logging ARRL Rookie Round up. Does not do real time logging to the network.

Version 10.74 December, 2009

Add IAQP.
Fix the default font selection code so that Paste/Link of a WriteLog document draws correctly if no font has been selected (and therefore the default is being used.)

Add ICOM IC-756PRO3 and IC7000 rig entries
Add grid square lookup from Buckmaster CDROM.
Networking: once a successful dialog is established with another station, if the connection is lost keep retrying forever to reconnect. Also, a connection is deemed lost not only if the network reports it down, but also if no messages can be sent through it for more than about 5 minutes. Also retry packet window connect forever if it was ever connected.
Typing the TAB character into the ALT+K window would hang the Winkey–fixed
Trying to record .wave messages into a non-existent directory reports an error.
ADIF export now uses “APP_WRITELOG_nnn” tags per the ADIF 2.0 spec. Also added STATE tag for QSOs that WL can identify as being states. Preset exchange can read .adi files written by older versions of WriteLog, but that is the only feature that still accepts the old tags.
