DX4WIN.CTY Release #47 is now available from:
http://www.country-files.com/dx4win/
You can read the revision history to see what's new/changed in this version:

There are a lot of changes in this release. VA3DX was the source of a
number of new callsign exceptions. I did some detailed research on VE8
calls in CQ Zone 2, and VY0 calls in CQ Zone 1 (yes, there are some).
I'm still trying to add start/end dates for all callsign exceptions
wherever possible (DX4WIN does not actually use the end dates for
callsigns, but I do).
I'm constantly scouring the Internet for new information. There is
always the possibility that I made a change for the worse (Duke, W1ZA
caught one this time around with KC6AA). Please let me know about these
so I can fix them in the next release.
If you are *NOT* using the latest country file, but instead continue to
manually update your own database, I would appreciate a copy of your
DX4WIN.CTY file so I can merge your special exceptions into the master
database and share them with everyone else. The country file is not
just the result of hundreds of hours of my own work, but also results
from the contributions of everyone who uses the program.
My current area of concern is the QSL manager addresses. I made 6
corrections this time, only because people told me about them. In lieu
of an automatic checker, if you notice an address that's incorrect,
please let me know so I can fix it.
Once again, thanks to everyone for their contributions/help. The next
release isn't scheduled, but will probably occur either mid-April or
early-May.
