Release 8 of the DX4WIN country database is now available from:
http://www.ad1c.com/dx4win/
Follow the link the country files. The changes are listed below. The QSL
manager database was refreshed with new routes from the last couple of weeks.
Starting with Release 8, there is a version string embedded in the country
file. Enter the callsign VERSION (followed by tab or space) and the version
number will appear in the Zone field. All earlier country files will
report the default zone for VE meaning version 5. To see the version date,
go to File -> Databases -> Countries and look at the callsign mappings for
Canada, VE. Find the callsign VERSION and you'll see the date there.
Unfortunately there is no way to make the version date appear in the log.
I'd like to thank *everyone* who has contributed information! Callsigns of
contributors are listed at the bottom of the full revision history.
