[HCARC] Upcoming Ham Radio Deluxe Release

[Gary Johnson]

Status of Upcoming Ham Radio Deluxe Release



I wanted to give everyone an update on the progress of our current development cycle.



It was my intention to have a release out by the end of February.  But we've added some scope to the release to pick up support for the Icom IC-7610.  Additionally, we have included corrections to Icom CI-V, column sorting on LOTW received date, Logbook unexpected exit, Access issues that cause awards report totals to be zero, fixes for TS-480, and several other things.



I expect that we will deliver a beta release to our testers by week's end.  I'll allow one week for testing and would then expect a public release around March 11.  That's the plan.



The full list of current development and release notes from previous releases can be found at http://ReleaseNotes.Ham-Radio-Deluxe.com



As mentioned previously, aside from a release blackout period between November 1st and January 1st, we expect to have 8 or 9 releases each year.  (Last year there were 9 releases with 150 changes.)



Team Update



We have dedicated a developer to the Satellite Tracking application, and another to the Rotor Control application.  These two developers will work through the existing development backlog on these two applications.



We have four other developers working on Rig Control, Logbook, and DM-780.



Closing
