tlf-1.4.1
=========

Bug fixes and minor improvements.

Changes:
- From TLF-1.3.1 on we can use the CT9 cty.dat files with full call sign
exceptions (marked by =<call>).
Starting from Jan2020 Jim reiser AD1C presents the CT9 format file as
default file format for TLF. If you use TLF-1.3.0 or older you should
look for the old format files.
- Rework display of partials - more stations displayed, bugs fixed
(tnx HA5CQZ)
- Log will automatically be rescored after deleting a QSO
- Update ADIF write function to V3.10

New features:
- Add rules, multipliers and initial exchange for OKOM contest (tnx
SP3RXO)
- Add rules and initial exchange for CWOPS minitest (tnx Joop PG4I)
- TLF supports now the 60m band (Tnx Joerg DL8DTL).
- Drop hard coded editor programs. You can name any editor program
to use in the EDITOR= keyword. If none set TLF uses the $EDITOR
from environment.
The Logfile gets automaticlly reloaded after editing.
- HA5CQZ provided a good solution to extend the memory TX functionality.
Besides frequency the memory now also remembers the working mode.
That allows to just grab a announced station, work it in S&P mode and
switch back to running CQ on your old QRG with very few key strokes.
From the commit message:
"In addition to the frequency memory now holds the mode (CQ/SP) and
the entered call (if any)
- % swaps TRX and MEM (swap)
- $ moves MEM to TRX (pop)
- in SP mode Shift-F1 makes a swap if memory holds a
previous CQ frequency and then executes F1 (calls CQ).
Mode and entered call are also restored.

After the "switch back" using Shift-F1 the previous frequency and
entered call are not lost, pressing % restores the state, so one can
continue SP and also move around or grab new stations."

Bug fixes:
- 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.
- Fix a lot of minor inconsistencies in handling of keyer, partial display
and other (Mostly done by HA5CQZ)
- Fix handling of CT compatible keys and correct handling of CTCOMPATIBLE
keyword (tnx N0NB)
- Add missing generated_defs.pl to distributed files. Need for
regeneration of test code.
- Fix compile errors with GCC-10.
