Hi everyone.

Version 2.0 build 10 is available for download at http://dxlog.net/sw .
We had some problems with sending emails on support mailing list, but now
this should work without any problems.

In case of any questions, bugs, feature requests etc. just send email to
this mailing list (support at dxlog.net).

Big thanks to Bob, N6TV for many hours/days spent in testing new version to
discover all the bugs I am able to produce.
