One other feature I forgot to mention that is not in the release notes.

For users of DX4WIN 9.05 and later, the country file now contains an
extensive database of geographic coordinates by prefix.  For example,
logging calls like UA4FBG and UA3RA will give more precise distance,
bearing, sunrise and sunset times.  This is especially useful for beaming
countries that span a large geographic area, such as Russia, Canada, United
States, Argentina, etc.  This is an easier way to get the information,
rather than having to go to the DX cluster and type "SH/SUN UA4FBG" or "SH/H
UA3RA".  Grid squares, especially the 6-digit ones, as well as IOTA will
still override the prefix data, as they are typically even more accurate.
