  WAE contest : in the Alt+L QTC window, the lines which correspond to the QTC counts that are going to be received (according to the group of QTC entered by the operator) are now colored in a light green.

Example : You’re on 20 meters, and enter "15" (Enter).

It can be enabled with the Options / CW / Correction / Smart correction menu, or by using the SMARTCORRECT (or SMART) or NOSMARTCORREC (note the missing trailing T) (or NOSMART) text commands.

  Network : INVENTORY (or INV) text command added to request all connected WT to send their version number. Additionnaly, the propagation delay is calculated and displayed.

  Bugfix : CW : Internal keyer : Bug report #51. Half baud gap insertion (the ^ character) code revisited. The ^ char now pauses during one 1/2 dot duration. You can now chain several ^ characters if needed.
