jLog V 6.14.1 - 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 V6.14.1 release of jLog is available from https://jlog.org and brings the following changes:
Enhancements
- Auto Resize View may add extra space between columns (in Profile Visual tab) and can also be turned off for manual adjustment of column widths
- New Tools->Grids command to lookup Grids using QRZ and/or HamQTH
- Redirect system out & err to file 'jLog-output.txt' in case of start-up problems
- Log on Map will use a country's default position (capital) if all location info is missing
- Export only selected rows to WSJT-X
- New Restart (radios) button in the Menubar. Recalc removed as a button to save space
- Added handling of new eqsl-fields to remove warnings when running Tools->eQSL Sync (Inbox)
- New modes FSKH105 and FSKH245 added
- Yaesu FT-101 and FT-891 radios added
Corrections
- Cabrillo init default values are entered when available
- ADIF corrected. I.e. app_jlog_stx_string2 app_jlog_srx_string2 now carries Exch2 fields in stead of reusing STX_STRING/SRX_STRING for both Exch1 and Exch2.
- eQSL sync restored after syntax changes at eqsl.cc V6.14.1
- Map function restored after changes at OpenStreetMap V6.14.1
- Autofill "Addr2" field from qrz.com not works ok V6.14.1
Minor changes
- WSJT-X Logger auto File save regardless of 'A' checkbox
- Don't register status if WSJT-X QSO is not complete
- Updated to JDK 21.0.5 or .6, and a few other library updates
- A few prefix corrections
- Spots improvements, e.g. when no radio is connected V6.14.1
- Added ICOM IC-7760 and Yaesu FTX-1 radios V6.14.1
- 'Clear MAP cache' button in Map window V6.14.1
- South Sudan CQ 48 -> 34 ITU 48 V6.14.1
- Update to JDK 21.09 LTE V6.14.1
Known problems
- NOTE! jLog will gradually become significantly slower if initialized TCP radios are actually uavailable. To avoid problems, select Serial with an empty Port and also turn off Automatic Updates.
- Solved: Two Linux .deb versions are now available to handle library naming differences within the Debian "family." One will install on Ubuntu, the other on e.g. Linux Mint, Debian GNU, etc.
