Version 1.19
SOFTWARE RELEASE UPDATES:
March 12, 1995
Release 1.19
- Routine to convert user setup file versions 1.10-1.16 to
version 1.17. Bug fixed.
- Some spelling mistakes where fixed.
- Detection of printer errors has been improved.
- Some help has been enabled, mainly in the logger.
February 21, 1995
Release 1.18
- Routine to convert versions 1.10-1.16 to version 1.17. Bug fixed.
February 19, 1995
Release 1.17
- A few small cosmetic changes, to the program.
Mainly in the logger, you will now see ALL of the comments field.
- By request from a user of SWLOGit, I added the option of
whether the program plots out the maps based on the MUF or LUF
now. Previous it was set only to display MUF.
- Some small bugs where noticed by the author and a user of SWLOGit,
in the scripts. Some routines where rewriten and optimized, and
have been greatly improved. Please read the SWLOGIT.DOC file for
more details on useing the macros and script file.
- Some routines used in the script(macros) have been optimized
and have been greatly increased in there speed. I new @macro@
has been added, please see the SWLOGIT.DOC's for more detail in
using @compressed_on@ and @compressed_off@
- Greatly increased the speed in how the program reads the script
files. (speed increases of 90% if not more).
- I've provided a program to convert your database from versions
1.00-1.16, to this current version of 1.17. PLEASE make sure
that you BACKUP your current database file SWLOGIT.DAT to a
floppy. The reason for this is that there is a new field in
the program, and this is 'TX SITE'. You are now able to place
the location of the transmitter in your logs. (By request from
many SWLOGit users, your voices have been heard.)
- Added a marker to the MUF graph. You will see a purple dashed
line in the graph, is is to mark off the current UTC time.
- Users from other then North America, now have the option to select
the date format to there liking. The prevous and only selection
was to use the format of MM-DD-YY, users now can select from any of
the following three: MM-DD-YY, DD-MM-YY, YY-MM-DD.
- The UTC offset can now have a half hour offset. Example: 10.5. Which
means, 10 1/2 hours from UTC.
February 1, 1995
Release 1.16
* Well it didn't take to long for bugs to enter the program again.
- Problem with setting the UTC offset, that I had assumed that was
fixed wasn't. So it's fixed now FOR SURE.
- Well had some free time, so I added a the option to search
between two dates, instead of just one. Good for sending in
your reports to the local club, or news group at the end of the
month.
January 28, 1995
Release 1.15
* This release was job and a half. More then a few bugs found
in the search window. When I fixed one problem another one
would appear. Seems like I got it worked out now.
I've also increased the speed in scrolling.
- Increased the speed for importing and exporting.
- Big change is the addition of script files using @macros@
for exporting logs. It works exactly as the report writer(.QSL)
files. Please read the SWLOGIT.DOC's for more information on
how to use the new script files.
- Updated the SWLOGIT.DOC file for the new 'Exporting Scripts'
- Last minute bug was reported by a user. The program was not
checking to see if the user entered a solar flux number below
65, if the user was to enter a number 40 for the flux, the program
would convert to a negative sunspot number.
- A few small cosmetic changes, to the program.
January 8, 1995 (Never released to a wide public)
Release 1.14
- Fixed the MUF bug AGAIN! I thought I had fixed the previous
bug with the way it drew the MUF pattern, but it was not
fixed for all locations around the globe.
- WorldMap . There was a small problem, instead of it showing the
correct time when WINTER was selected it was showing the SUMMER
time, and vice-a-versa.
- Added another 45 new locations to point to using the MUF Garph.
- Found in the last minute of compiling the program that there was a
bug in the way the program handle UTC dates. Eg: When trying to log
a station and it's 03:00 UTC and the local time adn date is
21:00 01-08-1995, the program SHOULD of placed 01-09-1995 for the UTC
date in the logbook, but was placing 02-08-1995. Problem seems to
have been fixed.
December 21, 1994
Release 1.12
- Fixed MUF problem that was caused by lines overlapping.
- Fixed MUF Graph for users in the Southern Hemisphere. The problem
was that the program was changing any location in the 'S'outh to
a location in the North and miscalculating.
- Also added so that if the user changes there location in the
user setup the program will then delete the map files and then
have the maps redraw with the current location centered on the
screen.
December 2, 1994
Release 1.10
* As I was expecting from the beta release BUGS. The following
where fixed from version 1.00.
- Fixed the problem with the program shelling to DOS when it tried
to write to the database. The was a routine that was closing ALL
of the open files in the program. Which closed the DB file and
didn't allow the program to write to the hd.
- Fixed the extra period that was showing up when trying to enter
a Longatude and Latitude.
- Defaulted the Report Sent and QSL Recv to 'N'o.
- Added 'Comments' to the address database. A request from a SWLOGit
user. The comments can be used to add comments about the station,
such as 'Slow replies' or 'Ask's for 3 IRC's'.
- Add a bit more space in the Comment's in the Report Writer.
- Removed the TimeZone Graphic from the options. I didn't find
it all that great, but I will improve on a newer verison.
- Added the option to save reports to a file or send to the printer.
- Option to mark the current report as 'Y' for sent.
- Add international characters, sorry to does over seas, I
totally forgot about those, funny letters :)
- Fix the problem with the Logger and entering the frequency, it
would clear the filed unless you pressed the RETURN key.
- New routine for the MAP saving. This is the routine that saves the
map to a file, so that it loads the maps quickly. There was some
little problems with some users gettign funny looking colors. I
hope this is working better.
There are other fixes, but are not really important to report here.
November 15, 1994
