What does this update include?

Below is a log of version releases and what was added or changed.  There is no information available for some builds, as they usually include only cosmetic changes, minor feature changes or bug fixes requested by an individual that do not affect most users.

7.0.155 (Sept 14, 2005)

•Fixed problem with CNTY HA and CNTY HB showing up in the US CNTY awards progress.

7.0.142 (Jun 05, 2005)

•Rotor control head may now be placed In Windows Desktop. Fixed problem of rotor control head always receiving focus when switching from another application to LOGic.

•Fixed problem with filtering on user-defined fields that you have set to accept lower-case input. Case is ignored when searching, so you don't have to worry about it when entering the search value.

7.0.141 (Apr 18, 2005)

•Changed LoTW upload to accommodate changes made by the ARRL to their web site.

7.0.139 (Mar 10, 2005)

•Fixed DATA TYPE MISMATCH error in ADIF export.

7.0.138 (Mar 2, 2005)

• Fix to accommodate changes made by QRZ to their callbook database online subscription. LOGic will crash if you attempt to access the QRZ subscription service without this update.

• Import GERATOL membership list from the web.

• Fixed bug that caused fields to sometimes change position after creating your own log form layout.  Unlocking the form layout now causes the form to revert to the factory-default font.  This is normal..

7.0.135 (Feb 9, 2005)

•Fixed problem setting Ten-Tec Orion -- problem probably existed only on very fast computers..

•Now copies Name from membership list.

•Do not export Serial# TX for NAQP Cabrillo.  Not required for NAQP, but if you logged STX anyway, the log got rejected. So now, if no SRX is logged, LOGic won't export STX either. Don't know why the ARRL can't just ignore this column if they don't want it. 

•Added Cabrillo support for ARRRL & CQ VHF contests.  Be sure to download the ARRL VHF SWEEPSTAKES log form from the FTP site.  Cabrillo export files now contain a copy of the template from the Cabrillo web site for easier reading by humans.

•AWARDS report now gives priority to paper QSL cards over Logbook of The World QSLs when both exist.  This saves money when submitting cards.  The AWARDS report now indicates entities that have a LoTW QSL only.  Be sure to also download the new AWARDS report from the FTP site.

7.0.129 (Dec 20, 2004)

•Spot log no longer overwrites old records upon filling up.  Spots may now be automatically deleted based on age.  Using the old method, we occasionally got reports of the wrong spots being overwritten.  We could never reproduce this.  Regardless, the new method will definitely not overwrite spots, and greatly simplifies the code.  The old method was great back in the early 90's when disk space was at a premium.  But now that disk space is practically free....

•New delete button on spot log to delete a single spot.

•New Packet & Telnet Keep Alive feature permits resetting the Keep Alive timer when data is received.  This feature is sometimes referred to as Smart Keep Alive.

•Support for new report for printing mailing labels for multi-QSO QSL labels or cards.  Prints only one address label per call.  This update does not include the actual report.  Download it separately from the FTP site.

•Updated help file now available.  It is not included in the update.  Download here and put it the LOGic7 folder.

•Support for ARS antenna rotor interface. In LOGic's setup, choose any COM port to enable the interface. ARS does not actually use the port, so you may choose any port, even one that is in use. The ARSWIN program must be running.

•Fixed problem with keyer causing  telnet auto-login to fail.

7.0.126 (Nov 12, 2004)

•Auto login for Telnet.  Although sophisticated scripting is available if needed, most hosts can be set up by filling out a few fields.  A database of about 275 hosts is included. The Help file has not been updated to reflect this great new feature.  Use the touch help--it's all pretty simple except for scripting.  To see an examples of scripting, filter for non-empty SCRIPT fields.

•Right-click the Output or Capture buttons in the Data Terminal or Telnet windows to clear the Output or Capture fields.

•Filter functionality (the ability to search records on any criteria) has been added to the Radio Memory form.

•Parsing of IOTA and QSX improved.  Improved parsing of time posted for PacketCluster spots.

•Fixed bug introduced in version .123 where DX Summit would download every minute regardless of timer setting.

 

7.0.123 (Sept 21, 2004)

• Spotting of grid squares.  If a spot contains the customary grid square annotation (grid of station being spotted followed by the grid of the station posting the spot), the spot log will show the status for the grid. To check the status for other bands and modes, look at Forms/Progress 1 or Progress 2.

Grid spotting is automatically enabled for 6 Meters and up.  If you don't want grid square spotting, turn it off in the Band Table.

When posting a spot from a QSO with a grid square logged, grid info will be automatically added to the comment area.

• Support for Alpha-Spid rotor.

• Support for Ten-Tec Argonaut 5 radio.  The processor on this rig is very slow.  We have not been able to get remote tuning with the mouse or buttons to work satisfactorily.  However, setting to a memory channel or spot works, as does reading info from the rig.  Tnx to AB4RL for lending us his rig.

•New QSO_MINUTES() function returns QSO length in minutes.  Useful for FISTS and other rag-chewers'-type awards.  An example of usage:  Go to the Filter form, and click EDIT.  Enter

 QSO_MINUTES()>=30

Click the Filter button.  All QSOs of 30 minutes or longer will be displayed. This expression may be used anywhere, including the report writer or Subawards tracking.

•Bug fixes:  French Union callbook web lookup would hang when looking up a non-existent call (apparently caused by a change to their site).  Errors when setting rotor to long path from DX Calculator.  Some rotors would not work at all from the DX Calculator. DXSCAPE cluster would hang (apparently caused by a change to their site).

7.0.111 (July 15, 2004)

• Fixed error "object keyobj not found" when using serial port for voice keyer.

• New batch update tool in tools/advanced/database commands makes mass-change of user-defined fields easy. Click Datbase Files/Mass Change/Replace user-defined field contents. Select the field you wish to replace from the dropdown list. Enter the new value and select criteria as always.

You may use the variable OLDVAL to represent the existing user-defined field value in the replacement expression or select criteria.  Suppose that you want to change the Antenna user-defined field.  You want to change all occurances of BEAM to YAGI.   You don't want to change anything but BEAM. Here is how: Select ANT from the dropdown list.  Enter "YAGI" for the Replacement Value.  Enter OLDVALUE="BEAM" for  Replace Only If.   ANT="BEAM" will not work.

• Tools/advnced/database commands batch update tools have a new option to generate the database command without.executing it.  The command is placed in the command window with a * before it. This is a good way to learn command syntax, or permits further editing before executing the command.  Just make your changes, remove the * from the beginning of the line, and press {Enter}.

7.0.107 (Jun 17, 2004)

Click here for info.

7.0.49 (Mar 14, 2004)

• Stop button for rotor added to spot log form.

• Fixed bug importing and exporting LoTW Sent and LotW Rcvd in ADIF.  (This problem did not affect the ARRL LoTW interface),

• Fixed bug that caused MISSING EXPRESSION error if the Log Membership Data if setting is blank in tools/setup/log fields.

7.0.46 (Mar 1, 2004)

• New feature downloads Israeli callbook (tools/internet)

• Added LoTW Sent and Received to Previous QSOs window.

• Fixed problem with CW speed self-calibrate.

7.0.40 (Feb 5, 2004)

• Bugs fixed:  Polling radio 4 generated error.  Callbook batch update logging VE Prov in State field. Spot log not saving SHOW ALL state when closing form or deleting all entries. ADIF export of baisc fields only not exporting selected user-defined fields. "Variable NO not found" error in spot log.

7.0.38 (Jan 19, 2004)

• Update Amateur Radio Amateur Lighthouse Society membership list from the internet.

• Can change Foreground Color of the main LOGic application window.

• Fixed error with French callbook lookup. Fixed missing help links. Callbook copy to clipboard feature now formats consistently with first-name-first where possible. Fixed error when attempting to auto-resize grid columns with no data present. Fixed problem with keyer and terminal function key buttons in the keyer and terminal windows  not properly inserting log data (was OK from log screen).
