The message I have sent last night from home does not seem to have reached
the list yet, so here is a second try from the office (hopefully savannah is
not the problem). Part of it I have to type from the head, so you might want
to read the original message if it still reaches this list.....
I have uploaded the second beta. It is available from the usual place:
http://auric.debian.org/~pa3aba
If you own a kenwood rig and want to try hamlib support, be sure to get
the latest CVS version. Xlog uses rig_get_ptt, which has been committed
too the CVS kenwood tree yesterday.
This version is of special interest to Ted, twpsk is now supported!
Here is an extract from the changelog:
* Patch by Stephane for the flexible log format. Should be a good starting
point for adding more log fields and using multiple logs.
* When search is selected from the menu (same as Ctrl+f) a dialog is
displayed where a searchstring can be entered. This is compared with the
callsigns in the log. In the dialog where the results are displayed, you
can select a QSO, the corresponding QSO in the log will also be selected.
* Add Ted Williams' scheme of sharing memory between applications. When a
call is entered, it will show up in twpsk's send widget (where you type your
text) when hitting Shift+Alt+h. Shift+Alt+o will show 'hiscall de mycall'.
* Autosave function added, time can be set in minutes through the preferences
dialog. The log is saved if it has been changed.
* Mode and signal strength is retrieved from the rig. Clickable buttons added
to the QSO frame.
* Created a dockable s-meter for the statusbar which uses a pixmap to draw the
signal level from S0-S9.
Most noticable change for a user is that the log now is saved to
~/.xlog/log.xlog.
The top line of this file contains the name of the log columns and also
describes field widths and number of columns. Thanks to Stephane for writing
this.
He is now an official xlog developer ;-), see the AUTHORS file.
The next release, which will probably be the last beta before 0.6 comes out,
will hopefully have multiple logs and a configurable number of columns.
Regards,
Joop PA4TU
