After a lot of work by all people contributing to TLF I would like to announce the final release of the new TLF-1.2.0 version.
You can find it at http://www.hs-mittweida.de/tb/tlf-1.2.0.tar.gz Besides a lot of fixed bugs and internal improvements it provides the following new features (see also the NEWS file for details): TLf now records your actual working QRG in the log file and writes it to the CABRILLO or ADIF log. The new CABRILLO handling (see doc/README.cabrillo for details) got finished. It supports CABRILLO v3 now and allow any one to roll their own cabrillo format. The exchange field can be edited the same way as the call input field. We have a more robust handling of problems in config file and rig communication. TLF tries to give helpful error messages and sometimes asks how to proceed. The old code for the ORION_KEYER and the native rig handling for Orion tcvrs is gone. We do fully rely on hamlib for rig control now. As a side effect all rigs with hamlib rig numbers >= 2000 do work now. A new NO_RST config keyword allows contest handling where no RS/RST is used. We have a reworked robust autosend feature which allows to speed up your RUN mode operation. After you typed in a number of characters from the opponents call sign tlf starts sending its call. You can go on typing in the complete call. As soon as the CW output catches your typing tlf jumps to the exchange field and send your exchange automatically. Shorter calls have to finished by <enter> key as before. Try it. Thanks to Ervin HA2OS we have an actual cty.dat file and a new callmaster database. Fred DH5FS provided a standard 'help.txt' file. It can be overwritten with your own one in working directory. Fred further provided code to allow you to specify portnumbers for LAN-stations via ADDNODE command. Finally TLF got support for two new contests: Stewperry and FOC Marathon Thanks to all who helped making TLF better. !ATTENTION! As with all tlf-1.2 version be aware that it will convert your old (PRE TLF-1.2.X) log files to the new format. So back them up of before using the new version. Feedback is highly welcome. 73 es gd DX, de Tom DL1JBE. -- "Do what is needful!"
