This version

- removes the "Display information in title bars" option from the Configuration window's General tab [it was there to work around a long-corrected defect in Windows Vista!]

- provides the option to generate outgoing spots with grid squares in "SpotterGrid<P>DXGrid" format, where P is a "Propagation Indicator" (tnx to Iain N6ML and Laurie VK3AMA)

- renames the "auto-stop after idle" option to "terminate transmission after long idle"

- provides an "auto stop" option in the "keyboard mode" panel on the Configuration window's RTTY tab (tnx to Jeff AC0C and Joe W4TV)

- provides an  "Auto format" panel on the Configuration window's RTTY tab (tnx to Jeff AC0C and Joe W4TV)

- updates the GeneralSettings.htm, Logging.htm, SoundcardRTTYSettings.htm, and SoundcardRTTYTransmission documentation files


Notes:

1. there's a new "Outgoing Spots" panel on the Configuration window's general tab that lets you select the style used to spot grid squares for stations operation above 50 MHz

2. the "Outgoing Spot" window [ctrl-click the Main window's Spot button] enables you to specify the "Propagation Indicator" to be included in outgoing spots of grid squares for stations operation above 50 MHz, if you've chosen the style that includes it

3. the new "auto stop" option  terminates transmission after 2 seconds of sending idles 

4. the new "Auto format" panel lets you specify "initial" characters and "final characters"

4a. "initial" characters are sent when transmission is initiated by striking the F2 function key, by striking the INS key, or by clicking the RTTY Transmit panel's Start button

4b. "final" characters are sent when transmission is terminated by striking the F4 function key, by depressing the CTRL key while striking the Enter key, by clicking the RTTY Transmit panel's Stop button, or by action of the new "auto stop" function

4c. for both "initial" and "final" characters, 

- use <n> to send the character whose ascii code is n (e.g. use <13> to transmit a carriage return)

- leading and trailing spaces are ignored; use <32> to transmit a leading or trailing space
