[Dx4win] Dx4Win Updates

[David Pollard]

I have not been seeing any new updates for at least the last couple of
weeks and I know that there have been country updates at the very least.  I
am running 9.09.1259.  Any suggestions?  Thanks for any help.  73, Dave,
N5IT.

You can't rely on the file date of country.dat - it gets re-written
every time you exit DX4WIN.

Instead, try this.  It has been this way for a long time:

http://www.country-files.com/contest/#Version

The instructions aren't technically correct for DX4WIN, but the same
principle holds:

In your logging program, try to log the callsign “VERSION” (on a
DX cluster node, use the SH/H VERSION or SH/SUN VERSION command). Each
version of the country files will return a different country (except
for Win-Test, see #3 below). That country will be indicated in the
release notes for that version.


I need to add this information to this page, but I have not had time:

[Jim Rhodes]

I saw these messages come across and didn't remember when I last saw
updates, so I opened up my save directory and saw that there were new .dat
files in there from Oct. 23rd. So I am up to date. But when I type
"version" in the call field and tab the date that comes up is Oct. 16th,
the date I updated to version 9.07.

[Dx4win] DX4WIN Updates

[Brian Bird via DX4WIN]

I’ve sent this reply to three other people direct but thought maybe I should 
post here for everyone and let them know what I found as this seems to be more 
than just my issue.

WA7AA showed me how to view my data base date. On a new add QSO window, type 
version in the call window and then tab. The data should show up as Niger with 
a date in the manager position. That date reflects the data base date. I did 
this and it showed 16 OCT 2019, the date of the latest update.

So now my question is how did my program get the latest update? There is only 
the one way to update version 9 and that is under help/check for updates. 
Thinking this must have been a “senior” moment on my end but several of us are 
seeing this for whatever reason. Something here has maybe changed? I cannot 
explain that and the next update that gets announced I will be looking at this 
very closely to see what happens. But for now it appears I am running the 
latest update and all is well.

Check your data base for the date. It will be very interesting in what you find 
as it sounds like a few of us are seeing this if you think your having an 
update issue.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN Updates

[Dan Violette]

I think mine had updated fine.  Can't find a quick way to check version
installed.  Tried AH2B and came up as Guam (change in new version).  File
date of country.dat is 10/30/2019, the day I did the update (I don't do
often but tried when these comments started).

I believe I've seen a couple of comments on this the past month or so but
have never really seen an answer to my knowledge.

I'm running version 9.0.7.1230 on a windows 10 computer.

The past month or so when trying to update the data bases in DX4WIN I run
into an issue,  I click on help/check for updates. The DX4WIN Update Status
box appears and is blank under the files tab. I click on OK below and it
comes back and says "No Updates were Installed". I'm just not seeing any
updates. I know there has been two updates as I've seen the email from Jim
saying so. I thought I just read another user having this same issue last
week and Paul said the last update went out October 16.

Any ideas of why I am not seeing the updates now? Everything else appears to
work normally in the program.

I believe I’ve seen a couple of comments on this the past month or so but have 
never really seen an answer to my knowledge.

I’m running version 9.0.7.1230 on a windows 10 computer.

The past month or so when trying to update the data bases in DX4WIN I run into 
an issue,  I click on help/check for updates. The DX4WIN Update Status box 
appears and is blank under the files tab. I click on OK below and it comes back 
and says “No Updates were Installed”. I’m just not seeing any updates. I know 
there has been two updates as I’ve seen the email from Jim saying so. I thought 
I just read another user having this same issue last week and Paul said the 
last update went out October 16.

Any ideas of why I am not seeing the updates now? Everything else appears to

[Dx4win] DX4WIN updates

[Paul van der Eijk]

Hi,

In the hope of stopping the stream of questions about what is new/fixed
in the next release, see below. I'm still working on getting the serial
port back for PTT in the PSK Window. These descriptions maybe
cryptic; they are my own notes 

Paul

//Version 6.03
// Corrected QSL manager editor (dates were wrong)
// Corrected ADIF import band conversion for higher frequencies
// Added support for prositel rotator
// added extra priority level to distinguish worked or not bm combo
// wrote routine to get text after double-click in PSK31 window (behavior 
varied by operating system)
// New award band was tested incorrectly
// Added option to set QSLDate when setting QSL method in multiple QSO 
operations
// small correction in award file (Darrell)
// small corrections in dx4win.tcp file
// spots were not always saved when closing program
// MaxQSOs per label could only be changed for one custom labels but now we 
keep two separate values
// After changing the current Selection, the default group is set to that 
selection so adding or importing QSOs will get the group by default
// Merging QSL managers lists actions
// Changed prefix logic (ignored stuff on right only like /R and /MM)
// Automatic update day and night fixed
// DOS box showed under Win/XP when calling an external program
// Spot colors for 'nothing special' could not be changed
// QSO import no longer changes 59 seconds to 58 seconds
// Typing in packet window without an established connection will show the 
select connection dialog
// When the QSLDate is empty, the up-arrow will set the date to todays date, a 
down-arrow sets the date to the QSODate
// Marking additional QSLs for printing takes mailed cutoff into account if 
there is a QSL manager
// Removing duplicate QSLs for printing no longer clears the print flag when a 
QSO was confirmed.
// Corrections in Kenwood radio file (thanks to Don, W0DJC)
// Made Freq column wider in progress report
// Grids were case sensitive
// Added 60M band
// Added time column to WAZ submission reports
// rstR = 0 or ValidDX = Invalid are now indicating an invalid QSO for any award
// Added Upload fields to QSo window (Upload, Upload Data, Upload confirmed
//   QSO: Update, Search
//   QSO Window size
//   New I/E filter for dx4win
//   Set/Clear Upload flags
//   Added to logbook
//   Same call window
//   Added option to select what counts as confirmed
//  (card, upload or both; this is reflected in reports, spots and 
summaries)
//   Import (merge) can use imported QSO for confirmation only
//  (we can set confirmed or upload confirmed
//  (may need more fields to update, like state, zone etc)
// Rewards no longer require a minimum number of qualifying QSOs (like 100 for 
DXCC)
// Changed country database  import/export filters to follow Jim's (AD1C) 
database
// Band / Mode also updated for current spot when callsign field is empty
