Similarly, if the DXCC award objectives indicate that a band is sought, but there are no confirmed QSOs with the currently-selected Progress Grid entry on that band, then the background of that band's cells in the Progress Details Grid will be white rather than the window's background color (tnx to Joe K4IK) - notifies DXView when DXCC award objectives change (exploited by the forthcoming DXView 2.3.0) - provides a new option on the Main window's Import tab to display an Import Award Progress Report, which shows advances in progress attributable to the imported QSOs, subject to the "objectives" and "count eQSL" settings on the Config window's Awards tab (tnx to Jose N4BAA) - presents zeroes rather than blanks in cells in tables in HTML progress reports (tnx to Dennis WB0WAO) - provides the option of specifying HTML to be inserted before the DXCC Summary report table in a new Reports tab on the Config window (tnx to Dennis WB0WAO) Enhancements: QSLing - improves the performance of AddNeeded, AddRequested, and AddAll by eliminating unnecessary invocation of DXView functions - right-clicking on a QSO in the Log Page Display produces a menu containing the following choices: (tnx to Chuck WS1L and Jerry K3BZ) * Add to QSL Queue (the current QSL mode is shown in parenthesis) * Print QSL card (only enabled if the QSL Queue is empty) * Print Envelope (only enabled if the QSL Queue is empty) * Upload to eQSL.cc (only enabled if the QSL Queue is empty) * Upload to LotW (only enabled if the QSL Queue is empty) Enhancements: Contesting (tnx to Dennis WB0WAO, Frank I2DMI, and Dave G8FXM) - on the Config window's Contest tab * provides a "Claimed Score" textbox * provides a QTH CQ textbox * makes ARRL section a selector * makes Category-Assisted a selector * makes Contest Name a selector, and automatically selects the Contest Name when its unambiguously specified by the Contest Style, while retaining the ability to specify an arbitrary contest name (e.g. for State QSO parties) * provides a Cabrillo Category panel that assembles a Category from component operator, power, band, and mode selectors - can generate Cabrillo for Sweepstakes, ANARTS-RTTY, VOLTA-RTTY, and UKSMG contests Enhancements: Documentation - updates the Configuration.htm, Contesting.htm, Import.htm, index.htm, Log.htm, QSL.htm, QSLConfiguration.htm, and Progress.htm online documentation files
