This release

- displays the beam heading and auroral ovals when showing logged DXCC entities on the built-in world map (tnx to Nigel ZL2DF)

- retains built-in map settings when the built-in map is closed and then re-opened (tnx to Nigel ZL2DF)

- retains map settings and logged QSOs when switching between the built-in and DXAtlas maps

- waits 15 seconds before repainting the world map display when a command to plot a DX spot arrives and additional commands are queued, reducing CPU load when spots are arriving frequently

- retains the specified K-index between operating sessions (tnx to Nigel ZL2DF)

- allows you to manually create plots of heard or worked stations that can be filtered by frequency and mode without requiring Commander or SpotCollector to be running (tnx to Dean W4IHK)

*** captures the callsign, DXCC prefix, DXCC entity name, grid square, and beam heading when you click the Info (Main) window's Plot button

*** if you depress the CTRL key while clicking the Info window's Plot button, displays a new "DXView Plot" window that lets you specify a frequency, select a mode, and plot a spot 

*** if Commander is running, captures the active transceiver's frequency and mode when you click the Info window's Plot button

*** displays all of a plotted spot's captured information - callsign, DXCC prefix, DXCC entity name, frequency, mode, grid square, and beam heading - in a popup window if you let the mouse cursor hover near that plotted spot 

- updates the Configuration.htm, DXCC.htm, and Operation.htm online documentation files

DXView 2.5.9 is available via http://www.qsl.net/dxlab/download.htm or via this reflector's Files area.
