[Trustedqsl-testing] TQSL 2.5.6 Release candidate available for testing.

[Rick M. <k1...@ar...>]

I've published a release candidate for TQSL 2.5.6 - details below.

Defects Corrected:
1. In cases where applications pass empty passwords on the command line (-p
""), TQSL could ignore that password and handle the command incorrectly.
This was not the behavior prior to TQSL 2.5.5.
2. Ask the user to save a log being edited in the ADIF editor when they
close the editor window. Previously, TQSL would discard the file.
3. TQSL more accurately prints the line number of an ADIF file with an
error message. In the past, TQSL always reported the line containing the
end-of-record tag.

In addition, TQSL now uses the word "Passphrase" to distinguish between the
password used for the LoTW site and the passphrase used to secure a
Callsign Certificate.

TQSL now also has a Swedish localization, thanks to SM0LTV. The other
localizations have also been updated.

A big change in the packaging for TQSL 2.5.6 for MacOS is the use of a
signed and notarized (by Apple) package file ".pkg" for installing TQSL on
a Mac. Having a signed installer increases the compatibility with current
MacOS versions (Catalina and Big Sur). I'm very interested in feedback with
these package files, as they're much easier to install.
