jLog V6.11 Release notes

jLog V 6.11 - 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 V6.11 release of jLog is available from https://jlog.org and brings the following changes:

Enhancements

'Tools->Show Log on Map' command display multiple log entries on a Map (see picture 1 below)
Powerful 'View->Auto Size' command to auto-adjust columns widths by analysing header and all row data to determine optimal widths
New Main Window headers right-click popup menu to hide/show columns (see picture 2 below)
Reports are now counting only Authenticity Guaranteed eQSL users
Login 'Test' buttons for eQSL and LoTW in the Profile to verify correct login parameters
Check TQSL version and load Locations list from TQSL (if changed) in Profile (LoTW tab)
'Tools->Distances' command for re-calc of empty or all distances
'Tools->Prefixes' command for re-calc of prefixes (e.g. needed to correct prefixes with more than 2 digits)
Profile checkbox to hide the display of seconds in start and end time columns in the Main Window
Reports auto-size table columns

Corrections

Corrections and improvements to make 'View->Columns' more robust
Corrected prefix extraction for callsigns with more than two digits
Display of distance in miles
Cosmetic adjustments

Known problems

If you rely on the use of a horizontal scrollbar in the main window, this will not work well in V6.11. The scrollbar is required when the total width of the visible columns is wider than the width of the jLog application.

Please ignore the annoying warning at start-up regarding loading of eQSL and LoTW Users Lists, To be removed in jLog V 6.12. Due to the recent unavailability of the LoTW site, jLog may hang for minutes during start-up. In order to remove the warnings, you may temporarily go to Profile- >eQSL and ->LoTW tabs and set refresh frequencies to e.g. 3650 days ("never").
