Hi All,
I have finally got to a point where I can commit the large round of
changes that came from doing the above. The change (r7939) comment is this:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Add the option to ALT+click a decoded CQ or QRZ message which only
moves the Rx frequency to theirs, this facilitates calling a station
who is busy and may have many callers on their frequency. Updated the
corresponding mouse shortcuts help text.
Allow for times with seconds when parsing fast mode and FT8 decodes.
Exclude the RR73 grid square from and grid validation or matching, it
is not a grid square any more as far as WSJT-X is concerned, it is an
RRR substitute.
Add a simple state machine for QSO progress such that replies and
auto-sequencing can be better controlled.
Get compound callsign edge cases working again and allow QSOs from and
to compound callsign holders working in as many situations as possible
including auto-sequencing and FT8 auto-reply mode. This does mean
that a "DE W6/K1ABC DM93" type message close to a callers Tx or Rx
frequency will be taken as a reply to a CQ call despite it not being
explicitly addressed back to the CQ caller. Compound callsigns should
work in MSK144 contest mode also as well as in short code modes with
some minor restrictions (short codes will not be used where
configuration demands that a message be used to send a full compound
callsign).
Auto sequencing has been made generic such that it can be used for
more than one mode if desired.
Allow the use of free text messages to sign off in auto sequenced QSOs
without the message being overwritten by the sequencer. Double click
actions have been added to the Tx5 radio and push buttons to revert
back to the default standard 73 message.
Make DisplayText class interface more idiomatic C++ and simplify a
bit.
Fixed some displayed widget arrangements for different modes and
sub-modes so that they are consistent when starting up and when
switching mode or sub-mode.
This is a big change which has been extensively tested but no doubt
there will also be some new defects introduced.
-----------------------------------------------
Which does not do justice to the days of testing and re-fixing issues it
has taken to get to this point. I want this change to go into WSJT-X
v1.8.0 RC2 but I am aware that it is an awfully large change to drop in
at this late stage, nevertheless I feel it fixes more critical issues
than it introduces. Currently it is only in the development branch but I
urge those brave enough to build the development branch to try it and
report back. You should note that the development branch also contains
FT8 decoder changes that are not yet finalized and may mis-behave so
beware. The FT8 decoder changes are reasonably stable at present but
watch the change log for comments about usability on air please.
