[WT-support] Win-Test verion 2.5.1

[Olivier F5MZN]

Hi

Win-Test version 2.5.1 is ready for download : 
http://download.win-test.com/wt-2.5.1.exe

It comes with full support of the EZMaster SO2R interface 
(http://www.hamradiosolutions.com). I detected some communication 
problem with the integrated WinKey in certain circonstances, but we are 
checking this with the help of hamradiosolutions. Larry also implemented 
3 new contests: UBA DX Contest, RAC Canaday Winter and RAC Canaday Day 
contests.

Greg, AB7R, requested some days ago to have a roadmap on the win-test 
site for the futur developments (especially major releases). It's a very 
good idea, and we will add a new page for this as soon as possible. 
Thank you for suggestion Greg!

Also, we have been requested to put on the download site an upgrade 
package with each new release, to avoid downloading the entire 
distribution package, especially for the peoples who still have a modem 
connection. Sure, this will be done shortly.

Following is the release file for this version. Good reading!

- EZMaster is now fully supported in advanced mode. See the menu
   "Options | Configure EZMaster...".

- The "Rate" window (ALT+R) now shows the Paddle Speed of the
   WinKey interface. It is displayed after the WT speed in the
   window bottom : "CW 32/28 WPM" means that the automatic speed is
   set to 32 and the paddle speed is set to 28.
   Tks OM7ZZ, I4UFH,...

- A new setting in the "WinKey properties" window let decide if the
   computer speed and pot are independant. This option can be usefull
   to simulate independant keyer speeds.

- Bugfix: Starting WT, whereas EZMaster was in standard mode, caused a
   blocking PTT to ON. Tks I4UFH.

- Bugfix: EZMaster was sometimes initialized with the PTT set to ON.
   Tks I4UFH.

- Bugfix: The CT-space option in the "WinKey configuration" window
   is now synchronized with the option of menu "Options|CW ".
   Tks F6FVY.

- UBA DX Contest added.

- RAC Canaday Winter and RAC Canaday Day contests added.

- Using your own callsign in a QSO will now credit no point, and it will
   not be considered for multiplier checks. This QSO will even be tagged
   as invalid. Tnx F8CRH.

- The CheckPartial (F8) and NPlusOne windows can now display the guessed
   zones (or states or provinces... or gridsquares, depending on the
   contest) associated with shown callsigns. Use the right-click on these
   windows to enable this feature. Tnx F6BGC.

- After wiping a QSO (F11, Alt-F8 or Alt-W), the CheckPartial and
   NPlusOne windows are emptied.

- In SO2R mode, radio switching now also switches the content of the
   CheckPartial (F8), NPlusOne, and CheckMult (F10) windows. Some
   other data were not also correctly swapped.

- You can now redefine AltGr keys. Note : As you might know, the AltGr
   key is totally equivalent to Ctrl + Alt pressed together.

- To be compliant with the WinKey syntax, the "|" character is now also
   considered as an half-baud CW space. It works for both keyers (internal
   and WinKey - assuming its firmware version is 9 or later).

- The soapbox edit box is the log export dialog is now limited to 1023
   characters rather than 254. Tnx FY1FL.

- Bugfix : Double-click on a QSO in the CheckCountry window (F10) in
   IOTA contest failed.

- Bugfix : When importing a Cabrillo file, if the soapbox was on several
   lines, the resulting string in the log export dialog was missing
   space characters.

- Bugfix : The CW keyboard mode button in the toolbar was missing its
   text hint.
