After a lot of work by all people contributing to TLF I would like to announce the release of the new TLF-1.4.1 version.
You can find it at https://www.hs-mittweida.de/tb/tlf-1.4.1.tar.gz or at https://github.com/Tlf/tlf/releases/download/tlf-1.4.1/tlf-1.4.1.tar.gz Fixed bugs: - Fix compile error with new GCC-10. - There are two major fixes for bugs in the scoring logic: - For US/VE stations runnin ARRLDX contest intra W/VE qso were counted which was wrong. New code correctly scores these contacts with 0 points and does not count it as multi. - If you running TLF in CQWW 2 TX mode QSO from other stations on LAN would be counted wrong. Fixed. Besides some internal improvements there are numerous changes and new features: - Thanks to the work of W8BSD from TLF-1.3.1 on TLF could use the CT9 cty.dat files with full call sign exceptions (marked by =<call>). As that version in meantime is widely available, I asked Jim Reiser AD1C to provide the CT9 format as default cty.dat file format for TLF. That change came in use in the beginning of 2020. If you use TLF-1.3.0 or an older version you should look for the old format file, which are still available. - Jim informed further that he would like to switch his server in next time to provide these files only via secured access. So please use https://www.country-files.com to download actual cty.dat files. - Zoli HA5CQZ did some work to make switch back from a grabbed station much more easy. His work enables to just grab a needed station from the bandmap while running CQ mode and to come back to your running frequency and mode after it with only one key press. Read the details on https://github.com/Tlf/tlf/pull/155 and the man page. - If you have to correct your log file by deleting the last entry TLF will now automatically reread your log - no need to request an ':rescore' anymore. - We got a better (and more informational) display of partials and an improved handling of WCY/WWV messages (both thanks to Zolis work). - You can now use any editor for editing the log. If you do not set any in the logcfg.dat TLF uses the one from the EDITOR environment variable. Be aware that there may be some small problems when using a graphical editor - if they go into the background when started you have to reload the logfile after edit by hand. - The ADIF write function supports now V3.10 of the specification. - Thanks to numerous users there are new contest rules, multiplier files and initial exchange lists for the OK/OM contest and CWOPS minicontest. Thanks to all contributors and testers. For a more detailed discussion of the new features please read the NEWS file and the man page. As always reports about problems (or success) are welcome. 73 es gd DX, de Tom DL1JBE. -- "Do what is needful!" Ursula LeGuin: Earthsea --
