2001.05.06 -
- converting text to Morse below 15 WPM utilizes Farnsworth method
- added More info... button in About box
2001.05.03 -
- changed "Transceiver" to "Repeater" in section heading
- added conversion from text to Morse code if no < characters in the text when loading from clipboard or the edit box
2001.04.29 -
- changes to the Transceiver
  - Just dropping down the channel list while "Listen" is checked no longer causes last message to play
  - The Msgs list is updated after a message is sent
  - The "connection lost" error and message playback when sending long message has been fixed
  - The "My call" edit box can now only have valid characters entered (letters, digits, and slash)
2001.04.28 -
- changes to the Transceiver
  - Added drop-down "stations" list
    - Selecting a station places it in the "TO" box and switches to appropriate channel
  - Eliminated the "DE" call box ("TO" has same content)
  - Removed the "Rx next" button because ...
  - Clicking the Listen box "on" causes an immediate receive check
  - Changed to a single "Browse" button for getting to IE (station list)
  - While "Listen" is on, don't fetch next message until remaining play time drops below 10 seconds
    - This prevents playback overflow
  - When "Listen" walks through message list, current message gets selected in the list
  - "Send memory" changed to "Send ..." and clicking it brings up msg send verification dialog box
2001.04.08 -
- changes to the Transceiver:
  - Removed the Channels button - just click the drop list
  - Added the message drop list for accessing past messages
  - Removed the Rx last button
  - Changed Rx new to Rx next
  - Moved around some of the buttons to make room for the msg drop list
2001.03.25 -
- in the Transceiver:
  - Added the "TO call" field
  - Changed "Poll Rx" to "Listen"
- added joystick port option for key connection
- now saves keyer option settings
- no longer resets the Sounder Speed factor
- the application window width is somewhat smaller
2001.01.14 -
- some minor additions to the Transceiver function
  - Button to get last message in the channel
  - "Browse" buttons that invoke your web browser to view the "repeater" status (only works with IE5)
2000.12.30b -
- added first implementation of transceiver function
2000.12.27b -
- fixed shutdown delay problem (was taking 5 seconds)
- fixed subtle re-Play timing bug
2000.12.27 -
- modified sidetone keying to reduce key clicks in keyer mode
- modified sounder to keep thread running and wait on an event to start the sound
2000.12.25 -
- added the "Key paced" mode of keyer operation. This is intended for use with a straight key and forces the straight keying to be "paced" by the keyer. This can make straight keying sound pretty much like a keyer once you get the hang of it.
2000.12.24 -
- changed the keying sidetone to start and stop the audio instead of changing the volume.
- made the sidetone optional (mostly useful in straight key mode if the key clicks are too annoying)
- added optional "remote" HTTP operation of the sounder
- added a "repeater" section in anticipation of adding the QSO mode
- added option for harder edges on playback

2000.12.12 -
- changed playback to use continuous audio synthesis which is much smoother.
2000.12.08c -
- fixed some "no audio" and volume changing problems.
