SoDa Radio V 5.0.0

This release is a major rewrite of the GUI.

The new GUI is built on Qt version 5. The old Wx interface is now more-or-less abandoned and won't be tended any longer. Wx has begun to bitrot and version 3.x is not really compatible with v 2.8. The new Qt interface looks so much better.

As a bonus, the new Qt interface made the implementation of a hamlib interface rather straightforward.

Connect your hamlib client via the Hamlib NET rigctl interface to localhost:4575 (this port can be changed to port 3838 for instance, by adding "--hamlib_port=3838" to the SoDaRadio command line.

The hamlib interface has been tested against wsjt-x version 1.8.0-rc1. It works.

See the "BuildingSoDaRadio.txt" file for help in finding the appropriate pre-requisites.

This project is in the process of moving from SourceForge. It will take a week or so.
