This version corrects the following defects:

- accurately informs the user if DXKeeper's Main window is closed while an import or sync operation is underway

- correctly handles a valid change in QSO reporting made by QRZ

- correctly handles a progress query in which no modes are valid

- doesn't flag a QSO's specified ARRL section as erroneous when the section cannot be deduced from the available information

- with the "Deduce and maintain ARRL Section itemss when possible" option enabled, 

--- doesn't flag an empty ARRL Section item as erroneous

--- respects the "Handling of LotW QSL detail inconsistencies" settings when a logged ARRL section doesn't match the ARRL Section deduced from location information reported by LoTW.

- when syncing with LoTW, reports a QSO's unspecified item(s) being populated with information from LoTW

- ensures that the Field Editor window that appears when double-clicking the Comment item in the Capture window or on the Main window's "Log QSOs" tab is not hidden because it's been minimized

- includes "DXKeeper" in the title bar of the Callsign Progress and Comment windows

- prevents the errorlog.txt file entry "program error 76 in module ADIF.ImportQRZQSOsOrQSLs theState = 298: Path not found"

- prevents errorlog.txt entries from being created when a deleted QSO is encountered

- while processing a directive from another application, prevents the user from initiating an action that could alter the Log Page Display by temporarily disabling buttons that could initiate such actions

- correctly updates "QRZ QSLs Rcvd" items when syncing with QRZ; see Note 5 below to correct these items in your logged QSOs en masse

- prevents an invalid Band selector error on startup

- correctly populates the Capture window with SOTA, POTA, and DXGrid information when a Spot Database Entry for a non-K1JT mode QSO is double-clicked in the as of now unreleased SpotCollector 10.1.3 or later

- limits the display of previous comments to the most recent 64,000 characters


This version includes the following enhancements:

- when exporting an ADIF file, specifies ADIF version 3.1.6 in the header

- interprets 00000000 in imported ADIF date fields exported from QRZ to mean "no date exported"

- interprets a right-click of the Filter panel's X button to mean "reset the Log Page Display filter to display all QSOs and set the Sort panel to UTC"

- on the Configuration window's Awards tab, moves the "Confirmed QSOs are low risk" checkbox to the "Marathon Bands & Modes" panel

- if the  "Realtime Award Progress" box is checked in the "Marathon Bands & Modes" panel and if the "Marathon Bands & Modes" panel's "Confirmed QSOs are low risk" box is checked, 

--- designating a QSO as confirmed via QSL card, Club Log, eQSL, LoTW, or QRZ will set the QSO's Marathon Country and Zone Risk items to 'L'

--- the Sync Club Log QSLs, Sync eQSL QSLs, Sync LoTW QSLs, and Sync QRZ QSLs operations will set a QSO's Marathon Country and Zone Risk items to 'L' if that QSO is reported to be confirmed

- adds the Canadian YUK section for QSOs made on or after 2025-07-01

- if DXView 5.0.0  or later has its POTA database present, can populate new QSOs with location information extracted from that database based on the QSO's POTA item

- if DXView 5.0.0  or later has its SOTA database present, can populate new QSOs with location information extracted from that database based on the QSO's SOTA item

- Entering a POTA or SOTA tag in the Capture window or the Main window's "Log QSOs" tab and striking the Enter key populates the window with location information derived from the POTA or SOTA database, if they have been installed; if DXView 5.0.0 or later is running, its Main window is updated with the POTA or SOTA tag and the location information

- striking CTRL-ALT-S in a Capture window textbox or selector generates an outgoing local spot

- updates the Configuration.htm, FilterLog.htm, Items.htm, KeyboardShortcuts.htm, LogNewMain.htm, MultipleQTHs.htm, Progress.htm, and ViewEditLog.htm documentation files
