Version 3.23.21 — Maintenance release

  • PSKMAIL beacon faults
    • investigate and correct seg faults caused by pskmail beacon
  • Documentation
    • corrections to browser doc page
  • kml auto_ptr deprecated
    • Change code to avoid C++11 warning regarding use
      of auto_ptr. Maintain backward compatability.
  • build flags
    • add CXXFLAG & CPPFLAG
      – –param=max-vartrack-size=0
  • Logbook update
    • Too many reports of lost logbooks due to operator error
      – specifically selecting “New” should create a new log
      named “newlog.adi(f)” in the default logbook folder.
      – force the user to specifically request a write over /
      erase if the file already exists!
    • Save the following ADIF fields from their associated
      text edit field
      – <STATION_CALLSIGN> <== Station Call, existing
      – <OPERATOR> <== Operator Call, new
      – <MY_GRIDSQUARE> <== Station Locator,existing
      – <MY_CITY> <== Station QTH, existing
    • Change add a logbook entry to append rather than
      rewrite the entire log.
      – adding a new record only writes a single record
      to the h/d file. Reduces work load for older
      computers operating with marginal OS (read as XP)
      and support h/w.
    • Change cQsoDB sort routines to avoid copy of any
      records or record contents
      – references to pointer and pointer contents is always
      faster if not as safe
    • Removed CRC values in logbook data base file
      – unused and not needed
    • Update fldigi logbook documentation
  • N3FJP record rejections
    • Insure that CALL and other fields are stripped of
      leading and trailing whitespace before submitting
      log record to N3FJP application
    • Inhibit multiple dup checks on the same call sign
    • Inhibit dup checks on calls with less than 3 alpha-numeric
      characters
    • Inhibit dup check on calls with 3 alph-numeric when last
      char is numeric
    • Inhibit N3FJP refresh of CALL after submitting a log entry
      – fldigi was calling TABEVENT which in turn updated the
      CALL entry in fldigi … a bit of round robin.
