Several new contests, advanced features, and bugfixes were added since the last released version.
Here is the complete release file :
2.17.0 (June 9, 2005)
Bugfix : address was not correct for the Tentec Omni VI. Tks F6IFY.
Bugfix : DTR handshaking on the serial lines was not working as expected. Tks W0RSR.
Bugfix : when an entry was deleted in the secondary radio window with SHIFT+ALT+W, the band was changed by the band of the primary radio. The same operation using SHIFT+F11 was working OK. Fixed. Tks S51TA, and DJ5MW !
Added rig Tentec Jupiter. Due to the poor protocol instruction set, there is some limitations :
- split mode is not supported
- the VFO A is always shown as active in WT, and WT will only control the VFO A
- there is no way to control the VFO B from the software.
BTW, you will need a 3-wires cable with CTS and RTS connected at the radio side.
Tks W0RSR
Dupe warning message shortened to be compliant with the log large bold font setting. Tnx F5IN.
ARI Sezioni Contest added. [This contest is only opened to I stations]
A database for this contest has been built and is downloadable from our usual directory :

Tnx IZ7AUH and IZ2EJU.
CW Prosigns : Prosigns are now allowed in CW messages. They are entered as a "&" character, followed by the 2 characters forming the prosign. For example : &BK or &VA, etc... All such prosigns are supported by the internal and the WinKey keyers.
For now, the prosigns are not supported on the W5XD Multi-Keyer.
Tnx IK7JWY. Special tnx to F6IFY and F8CRH for tests.

Unfortunatly, there are no well-defined Cabrillo formats for this contest and you must check _carefully_ the overlay category in the log you submit. Check with your national rules or sponsors.
