[Elecraft] KX3 Utility for Mac and Linux v1.12.8.11

[David Fleming]

There are new versions of the Elecraft KX3 Utility for Mac and Linux available for download on the Elecraft KX3 Software page.

The Mac version is now built using Apple's Cocoa framework instead of Carbon.


Advantages to using Cocoa:

1) Accessibility - The main motivation for the conversion is
to provide much better support for accessibility applications 
used by the visually impaired (such as VoiceOver). 

2) Better keyboard support - The program can now 
be controlled entirely from the keyboard 
without having to touch the mouse.

3) Appearance - Although subtle, the Cocoa controls 
have a more Mac-centric appearance.

4) Apple has declared the Carbon APIs deprecated 
in OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion (although Carbon apps will still run fine on Mountain Lion).

There have been a number of bug fixes for both Mac and Linux. All Mac and Linux users should upgrade to this version.

Many thanks to all of the beta testers that helped troubleshoot. Much appreciated.

Tnx and 73,
