         * Change FT1000MP Mark V model names to align with FT1000MP
 
 Version 4.6
+        * Added --set-conf=filter_usb, filter_usbd, and filter_cw to allow Icom rigs set mode to set filter number too
         * Added macros for applications to obtain pointers to Hamlib structures(issues #1445, #1420, #487).
           Internal conversion is still a WIP, but use of these macros will make the final cutover transparent to applications. 
         * Added Guohe Q900 entry
