jLog V6.12 Release notes

jLog V 6.12 - 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.

A new V6.12 release of jLog is finally available (after numerous hours of work with the horizontal scroll bar) from https://jlog.org and brings the following changes:

Enhancements

Introduces a horizontal scroll bar in combination with 'View->Auto Resize View' to allow reduction of the overall size of jLog without losing information
Allows maximum width to be set for wide columns when using 'Auto Resize View' (to be set in the Profile, Visual tab)
Allow ADIF ADX Export of selected rows only
Added the 'QRZ Web lookup' menu item in the log window, Callsign search and Tracker right-click pop-up menus
Changed WSJT-X Tracker colour scheme for better readability and consistency. It is now possible for users to change it, i.e. to choose foreground/background colours for WSJT-X callsign colouring
New Tracker "wanted grids" to be warned in WSJT-X about stations from these grids
Enable Tracker to also lookup "73" messages. Note that this and other auto lookups, require a fairly powerful computer and fast Internet connection.
Updated the built-in Java to the latest JDK 21.0.4 LTS version

Corrections

Removed the annoying and misleading warning at startup about eQSL file loading (due to a minor change at eQSL.cc after jLog V6.11 was released)
Minor cosmetic changes (e.g. field or font sizes)

Known problems

None so far...

Feedback

Please send comments, suggestions, etc. to mail@jlog.org. Thanks!
