– store/restore TX audio level if band is changed from rig
– any /P callsign shall be searched through cty.dat for country name/prefix exception
– crossband 160m operation with Japan option is set to OFF by default
– a little speedup of autoseq if 73 like message is received
– callsign filter shall have highier priority versus wanted prefix, grid and country
– speedup Notifications

– reduce memory usage by FT8 decoder
– added up to 24 threads support in FT8 decoder
– do big FFT if signal has been subtracted in current thread, improved FT8 decoder efficiency
– reduced decoding time in FT8 mode
– message packing/unpacking reworked to provide thread safety, use own hash tables to TX messages
– correct conversion to upper case in message packing
– increased stack and OMP stack sizes to jtdxjt9 process
– prevent getting out of string index in ft8b.f90 (crash of FT8 decoder)
– filter out some false FT8 “/R” decodes, filter out any false FT8 AP type 2 “/R” decode
– added cty.dat copyright
