1.14.3 Release Notes
----
This release fixed an error on Windows system that could occur when
uploading logs - "schannel: failed to setup extended errors".

It also corrects a defect when tqsl is used as a command line
tool to sign a user's log for their logging program. If while
signing that log, tqsl detected that a newer version of tqsl
was available, it would exit without signing or uploading those QSOs.


1.14.2 Release Notes
----
Fixed an error when the TrustedQSL directory had Unicode characters, 
don't prompt for updates when called silently, fail properly when the 
user chooses to not ignore signing errors


1.14.1 Release Notes
----
Minor bug fixes to internet functions and the command line parser, hang fixed
on OSX, removed unnecessary field from upload

1.14 Release Notes
----
Major feature additions:

 - Upload log files directly from TrustedQSL! Simply choose "sign and upload"
   from the File menu and your log will signed and uploaded automatically with
   no extra work.

 - Command line flag '-u' has been added to expose this functionality to
   tools authors.
 - The return value from tqsl can be used to determine whether the signing
   or upload succeeded or failed, and why

          0=success; log signed and uploaded and accepted without incident
	  1=Cancelled by user
	  2=The log was rejected by the LoTW server
          3=The response from the LoTW server was unexpected or unrecognized
          4=An error occurred in tqsl
          5=An error occurred in tqsllib (probably a bad filename)
	  6=Unable to open input file
	  7=Unable to open output file
	  8=All QSOs were duplicate or out of date range (no QSOs written)
	  9=Some QSOs were duplicate or out of date range (some QSOs written)
	  10=Command syntax error
	  11=LoTW network connection failed (no network or LoTW is unreachable)

   The exit status is also written to Standard Error (stderr) in an easily
   recognized format.

 - Automatically check for updates. If a new version is available, you will be
   periodically prompted to download and install it. You can also check manually

 - Duplicate checking. Any QSOs that have been successfully uploaded to Logbook
   of the World or saved to a file are registered in a database. Any exact
   duplicates are automatically stripped from future logs. This can be disabled
   on a case-by-case basis, in case a log was signed but never uploaded, or
   there was a server issue that led to an upload going unprocessed.

 - TQSL will now ensure that the CQ and ITU zones, and subdivisions if any
   (US state/county, Canadian province, Russian oblast) are valid with respect
   to each other. This should reduce the incidence of swapped CQ/ITU zones and
   in general should help ensure that more accurate location data is uploaded.
   When an attempt is made to use a location with errors (such as CQ/ITU
   zones being reversed) the user is notified to correct the errors.

 - Installer on Windows is now a Microsoft Windows Installer package, instead of
   an executable. This will allow for easier and cleaner upgrades

 - Added a new command line option, '-a', to allow command line users to
   control user interaction. This option takes a value from the set ask,
   abort, compliant, or all. For '-a ask', TQSL will ask users how to handle
   duplicates and date mismatches. '-a abort' will cause signing to terminate
   immediately when an error occurs. '-a compliant' will cause only correct
   (new or in date range) records to be output, and '-a all' will cause all
   of the input records (including duplicates) to be signed. Prompts for errors
   (date ranges bad, bad callsigns) will be suppressed for '-a compliant'
   or '-a all', but cause immediate aborts when '-a abort' is used. '-a ask'
   prompts the user in those cases.

Minor changes:

 - TQSL/TQSLCERT now have window icons

 - Double-clicking an entry in the "Choose station location" window for signing
   now selects it, instead of opening it for editing

 - Command line parsing has been rewritten and should be more robust. Also,
   command-line documentation is available with '-h'

 - Files to sign and save are now prompted before location and date range

 - The build number is now shown in the About box; please include this when
   asking for help

 - The final confirmation before signing includes the signing station location

 - Output files on Unix systems are provided with a default .tq8 extension

 - The "Edit station location" window title now contains the callsign and
   station location name

 - Station locations can no longer be defined using expired or superceded
   certificates

 - Users are no longer prompted for a password while importing a .p12 file
   unless the file has a password set

 - When importing a certificate, detailed information is provided on the
   progress of the operation as well as the reason for any errors

 - Dozens of bug fixes and potential or real crashes fixed.

TQSL/TQSLCERT and the rest of TrustedQSL now built with the CMake build 
system

TQSL/TQSLCERT are now built with MSVC on Windows.

** Windows 98 support has been dropped. This will be one of the last releases
to support Windows 2000.

** This will be one of the last releases to support OS X on PowerPC systems.
