Hi everyone.

DXLog.net v2.1.8 is now available for public download.
Thanks for all the comments and ideas last couple of weeks.

Please note that this build will be probably last one fully free of charge,
after 3.5 years
of development, and over 50.000 lines of code written.
As we plan to expand development and support team now, I am forced to move
DXLog.net to
some kind of commercial version.
So, upcoming releases as of version 2.2.0 will be available with full
functionality for registered users only.
More info about registration and fees should be published during next week.

And as usual, c/p from release notes for v2.1.8

Ver 2.1.8
------------------------
- New shortcuts/menu options available:
  CTRL+ALT+UP   - grabs first valid upper spot and sends a frequency to
inactive VFO.
  CTRL+ALT+DOWN - grabs first valid lower spot and sends a frequency to
inactive VFO.
  Menu options are:
  Operating->Bandmap->Grab first valid upper spot to 2nd VFO
  Operating->Bandmap->Grab first valid lower spot to 2nd VFO
  Starting point for frequency is inactive VFO frequency. In case that
inactive VFO is on different band then active one,
  start point will be the frequency from active VFO, so band of inactive
VFO will be changed to same as active one. (TNX I4UFH)
- RDA Contest - ADIF export changed to CNTY/STATE. (TNX E73Y)
- RDA Contest - added calculation for Russian "/P" stations. (TNX UA6AA)
- LZ HF Field - new window available - worked callsigns. Shows which
callsigns are worked during the contest with information
  about when new qso with same station will be available. (TNX 4O3A)
- Band changes counters added for multi/single and multi/two categories in
CQ WW RTTY. (TNX EI3JE)
- New option added: Tools->Data entry->Prefill values
  Callsign value - when new qso row is initialized, it is automatically
prefilled with desired value. (TNX 4O3A)
- OTRSP device - AUX pins wasn't switched correctly. Fixed. (TNX K6ND, N1RR)
- NA Sprint - own multiplier wasn't counted. Fixed. (TNX W9PA)
- All Asian - multiplier window was broken when some special prefix was
worked (for example HS50). Fixed. (TNX 9A2NO)
- WAE DX Contest - added some optimization in QTC receive window. QTC's
also can be edited after save.
- Azimuth info shown in Check multiplier window was wrong when gridsquare
was filled at config screen.
- Bugfix: cat command for SSB mode change was based on current band, not
new one, when band was changing with frequency typing in callsign field.
  Because of this, when band was changed for example from 40 to 20m  mode
was set to LSB (current band = 40m) instead of USB (new band = 20m). Fixed.
(TNX W9PA)
- Bugfix: worked DXCC window font size wasn't correctly restored when log
is opened. Fixed. (TNX W9PA)
- New option available in Radio config screen: Use CI-V (don't poll).
  This option will enable usage of CI-V transceive mode for ICOM radios,
instead of standard radio cat polling.
  In previous versions enabled CI-V transceive mode on some radios caused
CAT communication error which disconnects the radio until port is opened
again.
- New multipliers added for contest KT KUP Srbije. (TNX YT3W)
- Bugfix: config file for KT KUP Srbije missed Cabrillo operator category
for NON-YU category. Fixed.
- SAC Contest: added serial number definition for all categories.
- Single OP 2 VFO mode (SO2V) is now enabled.
- Rate window - qso and multiplier worth informations added.
- DXCluster data manipulation code is completely rewritten to optimize
performance.
- Bandmap list sorting options added.
- New option available: Options->Interface specific options->Prevent TX if
another radio on same band.
  If checked, it will prevent TX if we found another radio (Radio1 vs
Radio2 in SO2R mode, or any networked radio if network is enabled) is on
same band.
  Currently, in network mode, we are comparing our TX radio band with BAND
field in network list.
  Please note that in case of network failure, we can't determine another
radio band, so this should be just temporary solution and some hardware
solution
  will be much safer for such scenarios. (TNX K6ND, N1RR)
- New shortcut added: comma (',') - brings popup window which allows to
enter a list of callsigns which should be added to call stack (partner
window).
  If callsign field is empty, first call from call stack will be
automatically added to callsign field. (TNX DF1QR)
- New shortcuts available: CTRL+ALT+F1..F12 (or AltGr + F1..F12). This will
send additional CW/Digi messages (1..12 - check additional message window -
ALT+C). (TNX DF1QR)
- Added buttons to access additional messages also at Digi mode decoder
windows.
- Starting repeat loop by pressing F1 key is now disabled when station is
in S&P mode.
- In digi mode contest when audio frequency correction was used, ALT+F4
QSY'ed to wrong frequency. Fixed.
- ALT+K button in digi mode decoder windows didn't start keyboard mode.
Fixed.
- Keyboard (ALT+K) message sending in digi mode was delayed between
characters. Fixed.
- Own callsign isn't highlighted anymore in decoder windows. This will
prevent to grab it as last known callsign.
- Clock window - added new background color type (S&P background). Each
time when focused radio will change mode to S&P,
  background color of clock window will be changed to this color.
- Worldmap color had wrong colors for day/night under some circumstances.
Fixed. (TNX IZ4AFW)
- Added 100 ms initialization delay, to allow Winkey device to initialize
when powered from COM port. (TNX OK4BX)
- Redefine keys wasn't working properly when multiple key combination was
remapped. Fixed. (TNX OK4BX)
- New contest supported: Russian WW Digital Contest.
