This release

- prevents macros initiated via the F10 key from hanging during execution due to Window's use of the F10 key (tnx to Dave KB3MOW and Laurent F1JKJ)

- doesn't set the Transmit pane's font color to black when changing its font parameters (tnx to Bob K0RC)

- doesn't automatically reduce window widths and heights on the secondary monitor, since its size is indeterminate (tnx to Gil W0MN)

- allows the user to enter a - or -0 in the PSK Clock Offset textbox (tnx to Jamie W2QO)

- captures the antenna bearing and path from DXView (if running) and logs them (in the minilog, but ignored until DXKeeper 6.0)

- only provides three-digit zero fill for <rx_serial_number>,  <tx_serial_number>, and <prev_tx_serial_number> if the increment tx# setting is enabled (tnx to Graeme G6CSY)

- provides the ability to select the Key and PTT output port when using WinKeyer version 2, updating WinKey PinConfig register when output ports are changed (tnx to Jerry KG6TT and Joe W4TV)

- sets the transceiver to its primary VFO and resets split when selecting a transceiver freq in the QSO Info panel (tnx to Jamie W2QO)

- correctly interprets the <cwspeed> macro at the correct point in time when used with internally generated or WinKey-generated CW; this permits macros such as

   <start><cwspeed: +10><RSTsent><cwstopspeed: -10>tu<stop>    (tnx to Bob AD5VJ and Bob K0RC)

- enlarges the soundcard RTTY XY display (tnx to Floyd K8AC and Art K6XT)

- provide a <lookup> macro that directs DXKeeper, DXView, and Pathfinder to perform previous QSO, callbook, DXCC database, and QSL route lookups; this allows you to disable automatic lookups for speed, and initiate a lookup when desired as part of a macro.(tnx to Juergen DL8LE)

- accepts a 15-bit parallel port address in hexadecimal (tnx to Paul VE7BZ)

- uses an ISO format date in the Main window's title bar (tnx to Henryk SP3E)

- on the Config window's General tab, creates "QSO Info" and "Auto Archiving" panels for options previously  grouped the "General" panel 

- displays the transceiver's transmit and receive frequencies in the "QSO Info panel's "Xcvr Tx F" selector and "Xcvr Rx F" textbox respectively (tnx to David A92GE)

- provides ALT-M as a keyboard shortcut to the QSO Info panel's "Xcvr Rx F" textbox 

- displays transmit frequencies in the CW and Phone transmit panels 

- in the General panel on the Config window's General tab, provides a new  "split frequency operation" box that

   * when checked, "Xcvr Rx F" and "Xcvr Tx F" track Commander's receive and transmit frequencies, respectively, and WinWarbler displays and logs the correct transmit frequency during split frequency operation (tnx to David A92GE)     

   * when unchecked, "Xcvr Rx F" and "Xcvr Tx F" both track the transceiver's Receive frequency  

- if Commander is not running, propagates changes to the "Xcvr Tx F" selector to the "Xcvr Rx F' textbox (tnx to Bob K0RC) 

- when switching between soundcard RTTY and external modem RTTY receive panes requires the transceiver frequency to change and the transceiver's split mode is enabled and "split frequency operation" is enabled, re-enables the transceiver's split mode after directing the transceiver to QSY  (for Icom transceivers, requires the forthcoming Commander 6.2.9) 

- provides a <prev_callsign> macro command that displays the contents of the QSO Info panel's Call textbox when the previous QSO was logged (tnx to Bob K3MQ)


A special thanks goes to Bob K0RC for his detailed testing of this release.


Note: if you are using an Icom transceiver, make any changes to Split or VFO selection via Commander's Main window, as changes made via the transceiver's front panel are not made available to Commander and WinWarbler.


WinWarbler 4.8.0 is available via the DXLab Launcher or via http://www.dxlabsuite.com/download.htm
