<description>Airscout communication and Loginname</description>
<added> nothing </added>
<changed> The shema of AS-calculation messages from KST4Contest to Airscout had been changed due to some reports of Mats Helgöstam and other nice OMs who wasn´t able to track AP by the button. Before: EACH entry of the userlist had been sent to AirScout for AS plane path calculation in 12s intervals. EACH entry of the userlist had been added to the AirScout map. New in v1.263: Only entries of the userlist with a QRB lower than the setted max-QRB will be sent to AirScout for AS plane path calculation in 60s intervals. Only entries of the userlist with a QRB lower than the setted max-QRB will be added to the AS map. </changed>
<fixed> First: By changing the AS communication there is a huge decrease of the amount of messages which have to be queued by AS and also a huge decrease of the calculation operations of AS. That most likely will speed up also the issue of the very laggy "track in AS"-button. And also it will save a lot of computing power. The new 1min interval seems to be enough. Second: Name in chat is now saveable, whoohoo! Third: Some beauty fixes before and after login (visibiity of fields) 4th: Fixed issue which 9A2HM / Kreso told me. The name of the AS client had been hard wired to "KST" and the AS servers name had been hard wired to "AS", which results out of a time where I never mentioned to publish this client. It´s now fixed, so that the name-preferences will have a real effect.... 73 / DO5AMF </fixed>

<description>DXCluster Server is now implemented</description>
<added>- DXCluster Server (tnx OMAAO): KST4Contest inhibts a DXCluster server now. It generates a DXCluster message to feed your log client with station-reachable warnings. As a default, the dxcluster warnings will only be sent if a chatter writes to another and due to this is most likely pointing it´s antenna to your direction. For correct spot processing of your log program, you must use another spotters callsign than your contest callsign. Otherwise the filter will not work. </added>

<changed>- Sendtext-field focus Focus is now on the text field when clicking on the list of people in the chat to avoid double clicking. You can just begin to type after clicking a callsign. </changed>
<fixed>- Worked-station-filter (tnx Gianluca) Filter is now live, if you activate the worked-filter, the worked(and user tagged not-qrv-for-this-band) will disappear without manually reactivating the filter - Chatters list sorting by QRB (tnx Alessandro) Fixed sorting, was lexicographically, now it´s handled as numbers - Airscout-showpath-button The button inhibits an arrow, directed to the selected station in the chatmembers list. A click to this button will now maximize AirScout which then shows the path and the airplanes which are reflectable to reach the selected station </fixed>

<added> - Selectable bands Its now possible to select which bands you want to activate. Please select your bands and click save and restart the software. There will only appear buttonds and field which are related to the bands which you have choosen. - Unworkable tags for each callsign. It´s now possible to set NOT-QRV tags for each station for each band. If an OM tells you for example, that he is not QRV at 144 MHz, you can set the "unworkable" flag for him and able to filter his callsign out of the chatmember-list - QTF-Arrow The button "show path in AS" now got an arrow which shows the QTF of the selected station while the button is still out of function (will work that out some time) </added>

* Sendtext-field focus is now on the text field when clicking on the list of people in the chat. You can just begin to type after clicking a callsign (Gian Luca)
* Worked-station-filter (tnx Gianluca) Filter is now live, if you activate the worked-filter, the worked (and user tagged not-qrv-for-this-band) will disappear without manually reactivating the filter
* Chatters list sorting by QRB (tnx Alessandro); sorting, was lexicographically, now it's handled as numbers
* Airscout-showpath-button works now
If this causes that the sender-antenna is directed most likely in my direction (with a difference of ~25deg), the callsign will appear fat and green in the userlist. As the sender often propagates his frequency at the chat (that means, we have saved this already), there is a high probability to work him at this short term opportunity
- mark new connected stations
- made some UI improvements (Behaviour of messagefilter-radiobutton corrected)
- removed UI bug, caused if you send a message to your onwn station....
