Change Log

Unreleased

Pin-pointing of QTH on grey line map.
Default logbook.
Continued support for Python 2.x modules. Thanks to @gaionim (IU2HDS) for this patch.
Auto-filling of the Mode field using Hamlib.
Glade design of main window and dialogs.
Exporting of logs in the Cabrillo format.
More unit tests.
More tooltips.
The option to enter the frequency in Hz, kHz, MHz, or GHz in the Add/Edit Record dialog. Frequencies are still displayed in MHz in the logbook.
Record/QSO count feature.

Using username and port information (in addition to hostname) when creating an identifier for a DX cluster bookmark.
Pressing the Return key after entering a DX cluster command will send the command to the Telnet server.
Pressing the Return key after entering QSO information via the record dialog will add the QSO to the log.
Moved all unit tests to a dedicated tests directory.
Duplicate QSOs are now defined as having the same CALL, QSO_DATE and TIME_ON values. FREQ and MODE are no longer considered.
Improved the runtime performance of duplicate QSO removal.
Logs are now printed on a landscape page so that more QSO details can be included. The page layout has been improved.

Any characters in the DX cluster server's reponse that cannot be decoded are now replaced with a replacement marker in the DX cluster frame.
Fixed the QSO index used in the Gtk.ListStore. Just before a QSO is added with add_record it was assumed that it's index would be max(rowid)+1, which is not always the case. This led to inconsistencies between the Gtk.ListStore and the database. Indices used in the Gtk.ListStore are now obtained directly from the database after insertion.
Direction of sorting.
IOTA data retrieval when looking up callsigns using hamqth.com.
Use percent-encoding when connecting to a callsign database.

Support for callsign lookups using the HamQTH.com database.
Added a table of keyboard shortcuts to the documentation.
More helpful messages regarding missing dependencies.
Added the option of merging the COMMENT field with the NOTES field when importing records from an ADIF file.
Bookmarking of Telnet-based DX cluster servers.

Ported the codebase over to Python 3 using 2to3 (thanks to Neil Johnson).
The Summary page now also contains the total number of QSOs in the logbook.
Improvements to docstrings.
Various code cleanups (thanks to András Veres-Szentkirályi).
Brought the list of valid modes up-to-date.
Updated the list of bands and their frequency ranges.
Configuration files are now written to ~/.config to keep the user's home directory uncluttered.
The codebase is now compliant with the PEP 8 Python coding conventions (except for E501,F403,E226,E402,W503).
Updated the documentation.

Travis CI configuration file for automated building and testing.
Button to add the current date and time.
Option to specify default values for the power and mode fields.
Allow UTC time to be used when creating records.
Allow prefixes/suffixes to be removed when looking up a callsign (e.g. "MYCALL" would be extracted from "F/MYCALL/QRP").

Migrated the documentation to a Sphinx-based setup.
Separate the Create and Open functionality for logbooks.
In the record dialog, the labels "TX RST" and "RX RST" have been changed to "RST Sent" and "RST Received". The underlying ADIF field names remain the same (RST_SENT and RST_RCVD).

Logging debug messages to file.
'Z' characters in callsigns were being ignored when importing ADIF files. This has now been fixed.
Specifed the Agg backend for matplotlib to workaround a bug in Ubuntu 14.10.
Sorting the date and time fields in the correct chronological order.
Removal of duplicate records.
Error handling when looking up a callsign that does not have an entry on qrz.com.
Handling of ConfigParser.NoOptionError exceptions when trying to load preferences.
Handling of UnicodeDecodeError exceptions when parsing the output from DX cluster servers.

Fixed the ADIF export functionality. Previously, only markers were being written and the actual record data was being skipped.
