Changelog:
*** Includes Callsign database file version 2021-05-01 (2021-May-01)
New:
– JTAlert: Is now distributed as individual x86 (32bit) & x64 (64bit) builds.
Windows 32bit requires the x86 build, while Windows 64bit can run either
the x86 or x64 build. The x64 build is recommended for Windows 64bit.
Note: The .NET desktop runtime architecture must match the architecture
type of the JTAlert installer, x86 or x64.– Messaging window: Ability to delete all messages. Available via the right-click
menu of any visible message or the right-click menu of the Options (gear) icon.– Callsigns, Messaging, Activity and Band Heat windows: Window background color
and other areas depending on the window are now user settable. Note: this is
not full featured window theming (set for a future release) just the most
prominent areas can be altered. The Config popup, tooltips and context menus
are not changeable they will still obey the color theme you are using for Windows.
See under the Colors section of the Options popup (click the gear icon).– Callsigns window: The callsign right-click context menu can be customized.
It can be turned off completely or individual entries can be hidden.– Activity window: Data column text alignment is adjustable, either Left, Right,
Center or Mixed, where Mixed is Right aligned for the Tx counts and Left
for the Rx counts. See the Bands view of the Options popup (click gear icon).Changed:
– Callsigns window: The divider-bar between the main callsigns view and the
callers view is now moveable, drag while holding the left mouse button
down. The callers view can now display multiple rows or columns depending
on the display position and the area available after dragging the divider.
The callers view width/height after moving the divider is remembered and
restored at startup. The callers view no longer auto-opens when callers
first appear and no longer auto-closes when there are no callers.– Callsigns window: Online indicator (star icon) now has a size selector.
Previously it used the QSL flag size selector. See the Options popup
of the Callsigns window.– Messaging window: WSJT-X DX Call changes now no longer auto populate the
Callsign field if a message is already being composed. That is if the
message field contains text, the DX Call change is ignored.– Statsbar hiding: The option to hide the statusbar for windows has been
removed. The statusbar is now always shown. This change affects the
new Activity, Callsigns & Messaging windows introduced with 2.50.0.– WSJT-X highlighting: B4 and ignored Callsign highlighting in the WSJT-X window
can now be turned off via a checkbox in the Settings window, “Applications
-> WSJT-X / JTDX” section. Note this does not apply to JTDX, it doesn’t
support decode coloring.– FT4 logging: The option to log FT4 QSOs as Mode=FT4 rather than the adif
compliant specification has been removed. This affects all Logs except
ACLog, HRD5, and HRD6 (up to 6.2).– FT4, Q65 & FST4 logging: FT4, Q65, & FST4 mode QSOs are now logged using the
official adif specifications (3.1.2) of Mode=MFSK & Submode=Q65, FST4 & FT4
respectively.Fixed:
