jLog V 6.10  -  Release notes

jLog is a modern Logging program for Hams that can run on all major platforms, e.g. macOS, Linux, Windows, etc. It offers a nice, clean interface and allows efficient entry of QSOs. It provides good real-time integrations and Internet lookups and logging.

The new V6.10 release of jLog is available from https://jlog.org and brings the following changes:

Enhancements

• Added 15 more flexible columns (25 total) to the Main Window
• Distance available as a flexible column, also updated for new entries and on ADIF import
• Changed serial driver to the more updated jSerialComm
• Added option to restart radio drivers in Tools->Radio, i.e. avoiding restart of jLog
• Added 'Init' with default values for Cabrillo format for new user defined contest IDs
• Minor Java update to 21.0.1 (except that Linux RPM version is now using 20.0.2)
• New format for User's Guide with improved navigation and a PDF is now available for off-line use
• Faster jLog available for Apple M1/2/3 (aarch64) computers

Corrections

• Fixed data dependability in ADIF Import
• Fixed crash in Reports->USA-CA
• Fixed missing library file for the Map function
• Adjusted QRZ Callsign field height, e.g. to avoid 'J 'shown as 'I'
• Linux RPM version is now using Java 20.0.3 to access TQSL without problems

Known problems

There are problems with the setup of additional flexible columns. The Main Window will show incorrect values, but seems to be ok after a restart of jLog. Improvements in the V6.11 release (expected medio December).
