26/09/2006 NEWS

As of today I will be using a new email address for all Winlog32 related correspondence, I am deleting "winlog@...", and "g0cuz@.."

The NEW address will be:

32winlog@blueyonder.co.uk

N.B. The placement of "32" is deliberately wrong! - it MUST BE as per the regular software name in the above address of course, this is hopefully to fool those email trawlers who might find there way onto this page.

Recently I am having a deluge of spam mail on the old addresses

I have a natural dislike of spam caching software (so please don't email me recommending any - hi)

I may re-instate the old addresses at a later date.

IT ALWAY HELPS ME IF YOU CAN ENSURE THAT WINLOG IS MENTIONED IN MESSAGE SUBJECT - I get these messages moved into a special folder where they always get first attention (before I sort the junk out)
Only about 5% of related mail I receive has Winlog in the subject so it would REALLY help....
guys I also really appreciate mail in plain text (not html), I always FORMAT to plain text before reading anyway.

If the above sounds a bit fussy, please consider that I spend a few hours each week answering mail on Winlog32 related matters, which I love to do - so please don't stop sending them, but it will make my life easier!

Thanks for your co-operation

Winlog32 v2.6 build 3 has a couple of minor fixes.

02/05/2004 NEWS

Winlog32 v2.6 May 2004 Release

I am pleased to announce the release of Winlog32 v2.6 build 1
Here are the major changes, additions and corrections (or see changes.txt file after installation)

LOG INPUT.
Modifications to behaviour of TAB key and ENTER key to improve log input
TAB now cycles ALL Log Input areas, but still does not trigger any log routines.
ENTER Key skips Band, Mode, Power and Prop input boxes after putting in values although this gives less opportunity to edit 'on-the'fly' with the ENTER key - it does reduce the number of key presses.
Exception to this is when 'Allow KHZ' option is enabled Band input box is NOT skipped so as to allow entering KHZ to existing Frequency band.
The interaction between TAB and ENTER is improved for editing and general navigation of the Log input area. Users are advised to make full use of this interaction.
Don't forget that holding down RETURN whist pressing TAB reverses TAB direction., and 'Esc' key puts the cursor directly into 'Callsign'

Function Keys can now input text into the Report fields as well as Remarks and User fields

DXCLUSTER:
Added additional options to turn on/off Alert, spot and talk sounds, together with an ALL off option.
Added Callsign alert. Watch for specific callsign or part calls.

CABRILLO EXPORT
Added selectable Contest Database to feed Cabrillo output, Cabrillo contest output highly modified over previous function.

QRZ ONLINE LOOKUP
Added Online lookup of QRZ Callsign database to Callbook Window lookup routines (requires subscription with QRZ.COM).

RIG CONTROL
Added 'minimise' window option to Rig Control Window.
Change to Kenwood rig polling.

HELP FILE revised

BUG FIX
Corrected "subscript out of range" bug when right clicking on DXCluster window when nothing received in the DXCluster window.

LATEST PREFIX UPDATE AVAILABLE

A new update to the Winlog32 Prefix database is now available from the Downloads pages.  There have been around 100 additions including amendments to the U.K. Class B licence HF privilege, these show from 26/07/2003.

02/07/2003 NEWS

NEW DOMAIN / SITE

As you are reading this you must have realised that the new site is up and running, the old winlog.co.uk has now been closed and the domain abandoned, so please correct any links you may have to the new address.....

http://www.winlog32.co.uk

I think the new domain name reflects the true nature of the home of Winlog32,  'Winlog' - is a name used by some other non-Amateur Radio related software and often I am getting correspondence about this 'Winlog' which usually has me baffled for a while!

I apologies for the abrupt end to the previous site which has served us all well for several years, but as I now have a DSL connection, I felt that still using a specific dial-up every time I wanted to make changes at the Winlog32 web site was an un-necessary inconvenience and expense.

Now that I have continuous access to the new Winlog32 site, this will enable me to make announcements, updates and additions much more easily and more frequently.

A few problems reported with v2 are regarding lost menu item settings, this occurs mainly in non-English versions of Windows.
The latest build executable included in the downloadable file build #9 should have this problem corrected, if you are experiencing 'lost' settings then check which build you have in the Menu/Help/About window.

Other than the above most other things appear to be working OK in the new version, so now I can get some sleep at night?

Thanks to those who have provided valuable feedback on the new version.

01/06/2003 NEWS

After much work and a long delay WINLOG32 v2.00 now available from download page.

30/04/2003 NEWS

Still a few niggly little problems to sort out with v2 sory for delay

30/03/2003 NEWS

Just a progress report on Winlog32 version 2

V2 now has it's own socket connection for Internet DXClusters (no more third party software required), those who are using the Internet for linking to DXClusters will know how much faster it is than the packet network, the basics are working well and I may expand this feature later.
Other work has been done o the DXCluster feature, including user definable Alerts on the cluster info and optional Band/Mode checking against the DXCC database.

I have also added an easy "Get Going" database/log for first time users.
From correspondence I get, I appreciate that many new users have had problems getting to grips with the principals of making databases and logs - perhaps some have been put off by this initial trouble and given up, this is now a very simple process requiring only one user input of their callsign when starting Winlog32 for the first time, of course I have retained the option to manually add further databases and logs.

I am still making minor changes to v2, I really do want to put out a test version soon but have to make the install program yet, and the help file is still not finshed....

01/03/2003 NEWS

Have not had much time last month to work on Winlog32, but it is progressing slowely.
I will be looking for some testers for v2 in due course, there are many changes at code level, so although it looks much the same - it isn't and every aspect will need testing.
It is also my intention to re-write the help file, but this in itself will take me some weeks to do but hopefully it will be ready in time.

29/01/2003 NEWS

Work is progressing with v2, most of the work in converting to new the new development platform is finished.
I have added a restore back-up feature, and some other database maintenance features.
Also users can now select a background colour for 'active' input boxes in the Log.
Work is progressing with the Winkey interface too, Winkey is the latest bit of hardware to come out of the K1EL stable available in kit form, for more information on this 'pic' keyer visit the K1EL site. 
If any keen CW operator who would like to help test the Winlog interface please let me know, N.B. the Winkey hardware IS required.
It is too early to say when v2 will be ready for testing, please be patient, meanwhile v1.9 appears to be running well as very few reports have come in to the contrary.

29/12/2002 NEWS

HAPPY NEW YEAR AND MY BEST WISHES TO ALL IN 2003

My thanks to all Winlog32 users for the continued support, encouragement and nice comments on the software.

You will be pleased to know that I intend to continue development and support for Winlog32 during 2003, most of  the immediate work will be towards the release of version 2.

Initially the changes for v2 will mostly be in the underlying code in an upgraded development environment.  These changes will allow further improvements and additions to the software in the longer term.

If you are a registered user of Winlog32, you should have received email recently via your email address registered with me, if this is not the case, it's likely that the email address you supplied is no longer valid and has been removed from the mailing list, if you wish to be re-instated please let me have your current email address.

Winlog32 v1.9 is now available!

The update file is a dual purpose single package zip that will also install the full version too.
It is important to read the instructions on how to update your previous version on the update page.

Those who have been waiting to use the QSL Designer, are advised to read the "QSL.txt" file, which after updating can be found in the Winlog\QSL folder, this gives intructions on how to use it and some helpful tips are included.

Other changes in v1.9:
Second Contest 'Option' which allows remarks to be entered.
More ADIF import/export improvements.
Check QSL Card option for Log Check Robot (auto-adds QSL Cards to QSL database)
Plus other minor changes/fixes.

20/10/2002 NEWS

It will be released early November 2002, and will include the QSL designer, I may also make available an additional design 'pack' a little later which will include popular logos and some background picture files.

21/09/2002 NEWS

If you have problems downloading any files directly from the Winlog site you can try the alternative mirror files from the Winlog download pages.

The mirror site can also be accessed directly in the event that the Winlog homepage goes down:

http://ivory.srv2.com/~winlog.co.uk/

This facility has been kindly offered by Hostroute.com Ltd (www.hostroute.com)

Shortly, if there is no objections, I will be discontinuing the files offered for Super Winlog v2, all development for this software stopped several years ago and it's doubtful if any one is still using Windows 3.1 or SWLv2 ?

15/09/2002 NEWS

I hope to provide a mirror site for the software download shortly.

28/06/2002 fix for Cluster 'spot' button

22/06/2002 v1.8 release

Winlog32 v1.8 Update, the update zip is now available.

N.B. A bug crept into v1.8 build1 when VHF Locator checking and Speed log enabled together, build2 now cures this problem and new exe is included in latest update file (21/06/02 - you only need wl32.exe to update from build1 to build2).

Some improvements for version 1.8..........

Search Log for locator added to VHF Locator check mini-window - this will also check any locator in the 'Remarks' field when the search is empty.

Back-up Log toolbar button. (allows backing up the log file during use)

Back-up Log added to menu (file).

"Change/Select Database" button added to Log window. - Change the database without opening the Options window. 

All 'Digital Modes' query in DXCC database with new update procedure which group DXCC digi modes together, existing entries in the DXCC database need editing manually so that each and ONLY digi modes have a trailing space character e.g. "PSK" becomes "PSK " but "SSB" stays as "SSB" (e.g. no space character). This does NOT affect any data entered into the log and if you do not work or are not interested in digital modes for DXCC then you need to do nothing. Individual digital modes (RTTY, PSK etc) can still be queried seperately.

Contest auto-serial numbering added with mini-window.

Position of Callbook window saved.

Auto-correction of two problem Country names in DXCC database.

Plus a few minor bugs fixed

Download the update/zip file, extract the wl32.exe file replacing your original (suggest you keep a copy of the original), other files you may already have as these were released  with the v1.7 update.
If updating from any version before v1.7 then you may need also the new format Prefix database, this is NOT included with the v1.8 update, to prevent inadvertant overwriting of later database.
