Hi all.

First, thanks to all for feedback, bug reports and suggestions for new
features.

There are many things added/fixed in this version, hope you will enjoy it.

Here is c/p from release notes:

Ver 2.0.18
------------------------
- Interlock - New option added: "Last one wins if msg is"
  If checked, this will interrupt interlocked radio tx when msg on the air
is one of selected messages in
  "If is/not msg" drop down items.
- CQP_db.txt prefill database added in distribution. (TNX W9PA)
- Callsigns from database files are now shown in Check partials and N+1
windows even if they don't exists in SCP file.
- If time delimiter in regional settings was different than ":", exception
was raised. Fixed to accept any delimiter. (TNX IK2NCJ)
- Network partner mode is now supported.
- TRC contest prefill database added. (TNX F5IN)
- New option available: ESM mode change focus when LOGGEDCALL macro sent.
  If checked, $SPACE macro will be activated each time when $LOGGEDCALL
macro is sent and ESM mode is active.
  Default is unchecked.
- OmniRig com object wasn't release properly on application close. Fixed.
(TNX N6TV, JG1VGX)
- Some Yaesu models didn't display split mode properly in bandmap
indicators. Fixed. (TNX JG1VGX)
- Digi mode freq correction was wrong in case of PSK modes when LSB mode
was used on radio. Fixed. (TNX DK8ZZ)
- Bandmap freq display was too big when using large fonts in Windows.
Fixed. (TNX 9A3XV)
- Automatic RUN/SP mode switching is now available. You can enable/disable
this with menu option
  Tools->Data entry->Enable automatic RUN/SP selection or by text commands
(AUTORSP/AUTORSPON and NOAUTORSP/AUTORSPOFF).
  When enabled, it will switch DXLog to SP mode when you change frequency
for more then 200 Hz from CQ frequency.
  When you are back within 200 Hz of CQ frequency, you will be switched
back to RUN mode.
  If you change RUN/SP mode manually, this function is disabled until first
message (F1..F7, INS, PLUS) isn't sent.
  By default, this isn't enabled. (TNX 9A3XV)
- Exchange guessing logic fixed. Now it always set field flags to unchanged
when they are prefilled from previous qso or
  callsign databse. (TNX N6TV)
- When callsign was double clicked in bandmap or announcements window and
DXLog should change frequency and mode,
  order of CAT commands was wrong. Mode command should be sent before
frequency command. Fixed. (TNX E77DX/OE1EMS).
- RIT functions are now available from DXLog.net. SHIFT+UP, SHIFT+DOWN and
SHIFT+DEL shortcuts have such functions.
  SHIFT+DEL clears RIT. SHIFT+UP/DOWN moves ritoffset 10 Hz (ore one step)
down and up. Please note that SHIFT+UP moves
  rit offset in minus direction to work in same way as CTRL+UP which grabs
first upper spot from band map (lower frequency).
- $13 macro added. This will send carriage return (CR) character in digi
modes.
- New options available in Radio setup screen:
  ICOM CI-V address: you can change default CIV address for ICOM radio here
if needed.
  Use radio internal DVK:  if checked, DXLog.net will send command to radio
to start playing prerecoder message in radio internal voice keyer.
  Use CAT PTT command on phone: if checked, when mode is phone, CAT tx
command will be sent to radio to start TX.
- Stopping the message (escape key) when working in Advanced SO2R mode now
works on the following way:
  1. If listen mode is stereo ($R1R2) when esc is pressed, listen mode will
stay stereo.
  2. If listen mode is mono ($R1R1 or $R2R2) when esc is pressed, listen
mode will be changed to the mode which was active at message start. (TNX
N6TV)
- F11/ALT+W (wipe) function was stopping REPEAT mode. Fixed. (TNX N6TV)
- CTRL+G function didn't set properly active qso line when moving in the
log. Fixed. (TNX N6TV)
- New options available: Tools->Message editors.
  - Enabled SO2R scenario on the fly editor - if checked and operating mode
is advanced SO2R, editor for standard message (SHIFT+F key)
    will show also active SO2R macro lines for radio1 and radio2, so you
can edit it quickly without opening full scenario editor.
  - On the fly editor focus on scenario line - if checked, when on the fly
editor window is shown, line with focus will be radio 1 or
    radio 2 scenario (depends if user pressed SHIFT+F key in when radio 1
or radio 2 has focus). If not checked, standard cw message
line will be focus. Of course, user can change focus in the editor screen
by pressing on TAB - SHIFT/TAB key. (TNX IK2NCJ, N6TV)
- New shortcuts available:
ALT + UP/DOWN - changes radio frequency for 10 Hz
SHIFT + ALT + UP/DOWN - changes radio frequency for 100 Hz
- Bandmap "jumping" when spot is clicked is now fixed. This was happening
because frequency was set to radio object and sent to CAT.
  Now, if radio object exists (cat mode is active), frequency is just send
to CAT, and when received from radio, it is changed on
  the screen. If CAT is not used, frequency will be just changed in bandmap.
- New option available: Operating->Carrier (CTRL+T). Allows you to tune the
radio.
- Bug fix: COPYLOG and COPYLOGCLEAR functions were reversed. Fixed. (TNX
N6TV)
- Bug fix: no word space is sent between logged call and serial no, for
early QSOs (1-9). (TNX N6TV)
- Bug fix: CTRL+TAB/CTRL+SHIFT+TAB implementation was wrong when focus was
on radio 2. (TNX N6TV)
- Bug fix: ESM mode. Now sends correctly exchange when in S&P mode. (TNX
N6TV)
- Bug fix: old spots loaded from history file. Fixed, now loads only spots
not older then 30 minutes. (TNX N6TV)
- Bug fix: Check Callsign window doesn't update until you hit spacebar. Now
updates immediately when match is found if auto exchange guessing is on.
(TNX N6TV)
- Bug fix: After logging a QSO with PLUS, that callsign didn't immediately
show up in the Check Mult window on the just-logged band. Fixed. (TNX N6TV)
- Bug fix: Hitting [Plus] when a QSO line is completely empty displayed red
error message "Callsign needs at least one number". Fixed. (TNX N6TV)
- Bug fix: F7 (sending a question mark) didn't *immediately* halt a
repeating CQ. Fixed. (TNX N6TV)
- Bug fix: For CQP, *Pts* column wasn't properly centered under the
heading.  *Stn* column also off by 1. Fixed. (TNX N6TV)
- Bug fix: DB file loader didn't ignore comments. Fixed. (TNX N6TV)
- Bug fix: Repeating CQ delay timer settings wasn't saved in config. Fixed.
(TNX N6TV)
- Time ON/OFF calculation fixed to match ARRL Sweepstakes / NAQP rules.
(TNX N6TV)
- Bug fix: Cursor width wasn't recalculated when log font was changed.
Fixed. (TNX N6TV)
- New contest supported: Ten-Meter RTTY Contest. (TNX YT3W)
- New contest supported: TARA RTTY Melee Contest. (TNX YT3W)
- New contest supported: NRRL Field Day. (TNX YT3W)
- New contest supported: Arktika Cup. (TNX YT3W)
- New option available: Options->Automatic backup. If automatic backup is
enabled, it will create copy of log file at chosen location
  every XX minutes. Period is chosen by user. Also, LGS formatted file can
be created on same location during backup process.
  Automatic backup is run in background thread, so it doesn't stop main
thread from usual work. LGS file created during automatic backup
  process is also created in same background thread.
- New option available: File->Export->Log search format. Export currently
opened log in LGS formatted file.
- WAG Contest outside DL: Worked German districts window wasn't enabled.
Fixed. (TNX EA5FQ)
- New contest supported: Makrothen Contest. (TNX YT3W)
- OK/OM Contest prefill database added. (TNX EA5FQ)
- HamCAP integration implemented: CTRL+P now launch HamCAP application for
callsign typed in callsign field. (TNX N6TV)
