QLog 0.48-rc - only Windows Platform Testing

[foldynl]

Hi,

I would like to ask Windows users who are willing to test a new version. I know that nothing like this has been done here before, but I would like to test the new version before it goes public—especially the Windows version, because it contains the most changes.

The key information:

• This version does not perform any operations on the database data, which means it can be easily uninstalled and replaced with a older “official” version.

• This test is mainly intended for operators who use OmniRig v1 or v2, because QLog now includes a completely rewritten Omnirig drivers. This is the only reason why I am releasing this Release Candidate version. The new driver has been tested by me, but the more it is tested, the better it will be.

I would appreciate it if you could write here in the discussion what does not work for you or what behaves differently. Hopefully it won’t be too much.

first impressions are positive. Will keep using to check for stability.

[ValtsS]

Works well, no complaints still.

[foldynl]

It sounds good. Thank you.

I am using. Is the only modification the Ominirig? I am using FLrig with principal radio, and hamlib in secondary.

To test, what is better? Omnirig V1 or V2?

What is the new features that I have look in testing?

[foldynl]

This is the upcoming version, i.e. 0.48. The changes are as follows:

Ideally test V1 and V2. But it is necessary to remember that V1 and V2 must not share the same COM port.

Thanks. Please, if possible, remove warning to update to 0.47.1

short answer: just simply press OK ;-)
long answer: It is a testing version, ignore this dialog.

• [NEW] - WSJTX - Add callsign highlighting for decoded CQ WSJT-X messages (issue Add callsign highlighting for decoded WSJT-X messages #885 @aa5sh @foldynl)

can this be turned off?

[foldynl]

No. But I had doubts myself when I accepted this PR about whether it shouldn’t be optional. As you know, I’m not a supporter of adding lots of on/off switches, but in this case I think it will be necessary. I want to test it and add the option to disable it in version 0.49.

[ValtsS]

would argue it's something that's off by default.

[foldynl]

Well, those are just your feelings. But I will add an argument for your claim. If Qlog is not the only application that will color QSOs, then there will be 2 applications fighting against each other. Hmmm...OK....that really should be optional.

[ValtsS]

that's exactly what is happening. At start I did not realize qlog started doing this. And yes it's just an opinion.
