jLog V6.14 Release notes

jLog V 6.14 - 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 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.

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

Known problems

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.
