So here is the first release of the new IC-R8600 rig backend.
Implemented functions so far:
set/get freq
set/get mode
functions: NB TSQL ANF NR AIP MN LOCK VSC RESUME
level: PREAMP ATT AF RF SQL NR PBT_IN PBT_OUT CWPITCH AGC RAWSTR STRENGTH
extra levels (params): ANN BACKLIGHT KEYLIGHT
Mode list: AM CW USB LSB RTTY FM WFM CWR RTTYR SAM SAL SAH
Next up:
* correct filter settings
* new digital modes
* memory store/retrieve
* correct CTCSS, DTCS handling
* correct BEEP handling (broken)

This flag can be used by back ends that need to take special action
while the rig is transmitting e.g. the FT-747GX and similar that do
not process CAT commands while transmitting.
The flag is also used as a default answer to rig_get_ptt if nothing
better is available.
Deal with inaccurate CAT query for Rx/Tx on the Yaesu FT-847
This rig doesn't set the Rx/Tx status flag when PTT is asserted via
the PTT pin on the rear PACKET socket so we need to override which we
can do if we known we have asserted PTT via rig_set_ptt().
Adjust style and fix set PTT defects
Fix a warning from a declaration of a deleted function definition
This change allows the set_mode functions to leave the rig passband
unchanged if required. For the few rigs that do not have explcit
passband width control either current state is read and rewritten or a
"normal" width is chosen e.g. select a normal width when there is a
choice like CW and CW-NARROW.
CAT protocols that don't allow direct addressing of VFOs require that
the "other" VFO be queried or set via a select then get/set then
select back to original or swap then get/set then swap again. When
both frequncy and mode need to be set the sequences can be optimized
if a single funciton is avaiable.
This enhancement adds those single functions rig_set_split_freq_mode()
and rig_get_split_freq_mode() with a default impelementation that
calls the individual rig_{get,set}_split_{freq,mode}() functions. Back
ends can choose to implement an optimized version which is used
instead of the default if present.
Using these functions when an optimized implementation is available
allows the TX VFO's frequency and mode to be set in a single operation
with only one VFO exchange or selection either side of the
operation. Many CAT protocols are very efficient when getting or
setting both frequency and mode and some even combine the two in a
single command.
The letters 'K' and 'k' are used for the rigctl short command name for
these functions.
As Hamlib now restores the rig auto information state (AI) on exit
there is now a need to disable that functionality so that rigctl can
be used to set/reset AI mode on the rig explicitly.
A new public API function 'rig_no_restore_ai()' is also added that
allows any client to disable this auto AI restore functionality if
required. Most clients should do nothing as restoring AI state is a
good thing.
The Icom IC-7100 back end added this enum instead of using the extant
RIG_PTT_RIG enum. Also the rig_get_ptt() implementation didn't handle
it and errored out.
Note: RIG_PTT_SERIAL_CAT was added in commit
e9ee671149 - N0NB
I am making a Haskell binding to hamlib and this anonymous struct was
creating some issues for me. I am not a C-coder by day, but I think this
is harmless to add here.

From Martin, CT1IQI:
"Several programs under Linux rely on Hamlib for control. I wanted to
try WSJT-X (digital modes like JT65) and found that my new IC-7100 was
not yet supported, also after having compiled the current git version of
Hamlib and having compiled WSJT-X against that.
So I added a IC-7100 by taking the ic-7200 and 7420 rig files as
example, be it without going (yet) through all of the very many commands
the ic-7100 supports.
This produced the situation where there was communication, e.g. setting
and reading frequencies, but the PTT control did not work. I debugged
that to actually the lack of a PTT mode in Hamlib that uses serial and
CAT at the same time; currently PTT per 'serial' seems equivalent to
toggling certain RS232 pins but not to any serial command level. So I
added a RIG_PTT_SERIAL_CAT mode for PTT control. Now the wsjt-x program
works nicely with the ic-7100 and controls both frequency and PTT via
the single USB cable."

Use the system gettaddrinfo function when possible as before. Tested on
GNU, Cygwin, MinGW on Linux, and MinGW on Windows. Under MinGW the
replacement getaddrinfo is used. Perhaps this is an area for
investigation to be certain MinGW really doesn't supply getaddrinfo.
This reverts some of the patches from Remi Chateauneu in commit
60019c9. This fixes build issues encountered building the Windows
binary daily snapshots.
Enabled static library build by default at configure time.
Fixed pthread library linking for the ars backend on MinGW.
The C standard dictates that an enum constant is a 32 bit signed
integer. Setting a constant's bit 31 created a negative value that on
amd64 had the upper 32 bits set as well when assigned to the
misc.c:func_str structure. This caused misc.c:rig_strfunc() to fail its
comparison for RIG_FUNC_XIT on amd64 (x86_64). To use bit 31 as an
unsigned long, preprocessor macros have been used instead as a 'const
unsigned long' which cannot be used to initialize the func_str.func
members. TNX KA6MAL, AC6SL. - N0NB
Other minor formatting edits.
In response to a long standing request from Tor, N4OGW, and others, RIT
and XIT are added as members for the rig_set/get_func() members.
"RIT"/"XIT" have been added as tokens. The dummy rig backend and
testrig.c have been updated for these new functions.
Applications should test a backend with the rig_has_set/get_func() and
test for RIG_FUNC_RIT or RIG_FUNC_XIT. A non-zero result indicates
these functions are implemented by a given rig backend. It will take
some time for all backends to migrate to this new implementation. Once
implemented, RIT or XIT should be set to '0' to 'clear' the value
without deactivating the rig's RIT/XIT function. The dummy/dummy.c file
can be used as a simple guide for backend authors implementing this
behavior.
