jLog V 6.9  -  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.

The new V6.9 release of jLog is available from https://jlog.org and brings the following changes:

Enhancements

  • Automatic or manual uploads to Club Log and HRDLOG once the QSO is saved
  • Additional Key settings for QRZ Logbook per Config
  • Three new Dark themes and a new Light theme gives jLog a more modern look (see the picture below)
  • Option to switch themes automatically when the system theme changes (macOS, Windows 10/11 and Ubuntu Linux)
  • Callsign Search window offers mouse right button popup menu with many options
  • Tracker window offers mouse right button popup menu with many options
  • Auto submission on/off master button on the Main window status bar.
  • New DIGITALVOICE Submodes FREEDV and M17
  • Date and time is visually expanded when leaving field in Entry window, e.g. dmmyy -> dd.mm.yyyy and hmm -> hh:mm
  • Added ability to resize jLog size for HiDPI displays (necessary for Linux only)
  • Additional Yaesu radios, e.g. FTDX10, FTXDX 3000 and many more
  • ADIF Import shows a Progress Bar and has other smaller improvements
  • Minor improvements to contest functionality

Corrections

  • Avoid pop-ups being hidden behind QRZ and HamQTH pop-ups, making jLog "appear as frozen"
  • Corrected WAS Reports. US was partially wrong, others failed to show
  • A few cosmetic improvements

Known problems

  • ADIF (.adi) Import seems to fail with V6.9 due to a missing parameter in the Profile.
    Please update the Profile as spesified in the V 6.9 Setup notes.
  • The Linux (RPM only) version of jLog does not get access to TQSL when running the LoTW Submission command.

Please send comments, suggestions, etc. to mail@jlog.org. Thanks!
