+    * 2021-04-27
+    * New rig_get_vfo_info 
+    * New rig_get_rig_info
+        Also get_rig_info in rigctld too
+        Example output with rig in split mode
+        This is a string return to allow for easy future expansion without changing the API
+        New tokens may be introduced and can be skipped if not used by clients
