Update SourceForge Website index page to advise of Twitter monetizing the API.
Yeah, this is bad news. In order to continue to provide this service I'm gonna have to pay $100/mo to X. We got a few months of grace period before they dropped the hammer. Darn. I can't blame them for wanting to keep their company going. I can't afford to keep X/Twitter capability in Morse News. Let me see if I can appeal to their sense of community ha ha ha.
New TwitterAPI Exception - Something Changed at X (Twitter) again

Support for Ultimatic Keying Mode
Richard -- Based on your report, I think it's OK to announce 5.2. I'll take my chances that someone will find some subtle timing issue, but I've tried to design this so its timing is consistent and protect against race conditions. Thanks for the test!!
Hi Bob, I have V5.2 installed and have been keying at 25 WPM in Ultimatic using my < and > cusor keys programmed on my Razer Blackwidow Chroma V2 gaming keyboard on my laptop. The keyer is working fine, but using the mechanical keys on my keyboard is not ideal, so I can stuff up easily at that speed. I will sort out my my USB/Serial interace for use with one of my Capacitive-Touch keys and I feel sure it will work great that way. Thank you! Richard G4WKW.
You're most welcome Richard. I have completed the addition of Ultimatic... I think! Before updating the main project web site for this new version, might I ask you to test ultimatic in this release? It's V5.2 in the files section.
Keyer 5.2 and 5.2 Setup. Ultimatic completed. No change to News reader (5.0). A fre other strays committed.
Forgot to set ultimatic vs iambic on app startup.
Checkpoint - Refactor to make iambic and ultimatic logic within the same IambicKeyer Class.
Hi Bob. Thank you so much for your work on Ultimatic mode. I almost exclusively use this mode, either via my own Arduino-based keyer, or via a "Key Converter" circuit that I have developed that I can use with an IAMBIC keyer built into a radio to use either Ultimatic, or emulated Single Paddle mode.
On its way. Added the UI for selecting Ultimatic, and a new Ultimatic Keyer class.
Checkpoint - Adding support for Ultimatic paddle keying. Not completed.
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> Excellent. I was actually surprised when I looked at the ticket, then looked in the sources and found them already there from January 2018. I apologize for not closing the ticket back then!! -- Bob On 7/17/2023 9:33 AM, Sverre Holm wrote: Thanks - works fine for my Twitter feed which is a mix of English and Norwegian language. --- **[feature-requests:#23] Support for non-English letters** **Status:** closed-fixed **Group:** Next_Release...
Thanks - works fine for my Twitter feed which is a mix of English and Norwegian language.
Oops forgot the SourceForge program website home page update for 5.1.
Keyer only. Add support for Ham Radio Solutions' VBand USB Paddle Adapter for keying input.
Keyer: Support HRS VBand USB Paddle Adapter for Keying
Coded and tested. 5.1 release pending evaluation of adding Ultimatic keying modes (egad).
Support for Ultimatic Keying Mode
I looked at this and unfortunately, the way the logic is organized, this would be very difficult. I'm not saying I won't do it, but I need to have more spare time than I curretly have. I apolgize.
Keyer: Support HRS VBand USB Paddle Adapter for Keying
Keyer: Support HRC Dongle for Keying
Support for non-English letters
I tested this with a Twitter direct message, as well as an RSS feed, both with the accented characters. I can't reproduce the problem. They come through in morse and on the crawler. Closing this ancient feature request.
I just went to do this and discovered that I already had these and more in the tables! See the source code for morse.cs the Dictionary _iMorse starting at line 214. Now I need to see if somehow they are filtered out in the newsreader.

Wow, I found it. Grab 5.0.1 (just published). Long story but the behavior of the DirectX Sound API had quirk that under some conditions measuring the current position in the playing sound buffer can return bad position. Now I stop pley, measure, jump to the end, then start play. Amazingly, there is no detectable break in the sine-wave of the tone. This should end this spooky problem.
5.0.1 Includes SF Ticket #25 Glitch on manual key-up. No other changes to logic. News still at 5.0.
One more try on the tone generator for SF Ticket #25 (DXTones assy 5.0.1)
SF Ticket #25 Fix key-click on trailing edge for manual keying.
HAHA I went back and decided to look at com.dc3.morse.DxTones.Up() and look what I found. So this is on the hairy edge. Amazing // // This actually does work on faster machines, but leaves a discontinuity // in the waveform if the machine isn't fast enough. //

Keyer key connections and Sounder Interfacing
V5 has the doc corrections.
Cannot create SSL/TLS secure channel (again!)
Upon checking this on a Windows 10 system (my development system) as well as a Windows 11 system here, the feed works fine. The error occurs only on Windows 7. I can't really support W7. I'm guessing that the specific TLS1.2 encryption algorithm that weather.gc.ca is newer than the last W7 update. Closing this ticket.

Docs corrected and enhanced, and they are now available on the project website. Will be in the next release at which time I will close this ticket.
Update links to MorseKOB info on connecting sounders, and add DB-9 pinouts to Keyer doc. No changes to functionality.

It's 2023... Did my additions for ASIO cover this. I barely have any idea how ASIO works, etc. I did some "just in time learning" to implement it after your request.
I apologize for this sitting here for 9 years!! I just released a V5 of Morse News. I'll be looking at it much sooner this time.

App No Longer Works for Twitter
After a couple of rounds with Twitte3r I think I have this solved. Please update to V5.0 to have the full Twitter functionality restored.
Update the Project Web on SourceForge for 5.0
Final tweaks to the 5.0 installer.
Assure proper installation folder
More 5.0 -- .NET 6 for 'core' versions (about time!), full User credentials for TwitterAPI for all apps cwrss, locrss, now direct messages work again. This turned out to be an extensive update internally.
