------------------------------------------------------------------------

Date:   Sun Sep 15 2019, 10:14

   alpha 4.1.08.16

   mp3
     * Add mp3 decoder for mp3 files
       - uses public domain decoder drmp3
       - Audio playback, and Alerts

   macros
     * Allow CWID execution at specified position in macro text
     * Modify macro tag <TIMER:nnn> to always start when state
       changes from Tx to Rx.
     * Add <# comments> tag.  Works same as <COMMENT:comments> tag
     * Correct coding for proper operation of <SKED:..., <TIMER:...
       and <REPEAT...> tags.
     * Implement <UNTIL:hhmm[ss]:[YYYYMMDD]> macro tag
       - halts macro at specified date/time when either <REPEAT>,
       or <TIMER:nn> are specified in the macro text.

   Xmt Audio file
     * Add ability to transmit an audio file using new
       macro tag: <AUDIO:path-filename>
       - macro editor opens an OS select file dialog
         when the tag is selected from the pick list
       - suggested use:
           <MODEM:NULL><TX>
           <AUDIO:path-filename-1>
           <AUDIO:path-filename-2>
           <RX><@MODEM:BPSK31>
         or modem type of choice
     * Audio file must be wav format, either mono or stereo
       any sample rate
     * Returning to Rx stops current and any pending audio
       playback.  Post Tx macro tags are then executed.
       T/R button or Escape key will abort the playback.
     * Please use responsibly - know and understand your
       license limitations for transmitting audio files,
       especially music and/or copyrighted material.

   Alerts
     * Correct test for no output device
       - do not use pa error handler
     * Add ability to select the pa device for
       alerts output
       - was using default device
       - detect device default sample rate
       - convert all sound files to def sr using
         fastest sinc converter
     * Change output to use pa callbacks

   Data file update
     * Update/correction to file NAVTEX_stations.csv
       - contributed by N2RY

   flrig freq/mode
     * Change order of sending frequency and mode to mode then frequency

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hint:  if you are building fldigi, etal on a "Nix" system you can speed 
up your make using the following:

$ ./configure
$ make -j NN    [where NN is 1.5 x the # of cpu cores]

If you do not need flarq, then

$ ./configure --disable-flarq

If you want to optimize for your target processor

$ ./configure --enable-optimizations=native

configure flags can be combined.
