This release - prevents an errorlog.txt file entry from being generated when reading a Spot Database Entry's SpotNeeded field (tnx to John K1ESE) - if on startup, the Spot Database can't be opened because of a "no read permission" error, the user is prompted to terminate SpotCollector and delete the Spot Database - treats local spots as if they were received from a cluster with the spotting station's grid square computed from the Latitude and Longitude specified in the "Operator Location" panel on the Configuration window's General tab (tnx to Björn SM7IUN) - if an incoming spot does not specify the spotting station's grid square and the spotting station matches the callsign specified in the "Operator Callsign" box on the Configuration window's General tab, behaves as if the incoming spot included the spotting station grid square associated with the Latitude and Longitude specified in the "Operator location" panel on the Configuration window's General tab (tnx to Björn SM7IUN) - if the spot notes contain Grid1<>Grid2, Grid1 is reported as the spotter's grid square and Grid2 is reported as the DX grid square (tnx to Iain N6ML) - adds a NeedCategory field (tnx to Don K1DBO) - renames the "DXPedition Propagation Monitor" panel to "Station Propagation Monitor", and reduces the its interval from 60 minutes to 30 minutes (tnx to Gene K5GS) - recognizes spot notes that specify 3 grid squares, where the first grid square is RR73; in this scenario, the RR73 grid square is ignored and the remaining 2 grid squares are processed as if they were the only 2 grid squares present in the spot notes (tnx to tnx to Björn SM7IUN and Laurie VK3AMA) - updates the Collecting Spots.htm, CollectingWWV.htm, Configuration, ConfigurationAudio.htm, ConfigurationDatabase.htm, ConfigurationGeneral.htm, ConfigurationNotifications.htm, ConfigurationOverides.htm, ConfigurationSpotDatabaseDisplay.htm, CQDXInteraction.htm, DXClusterInteraction.htm, index.htm, PacketClusterInteraction.htm, Prerequisites.htm, and SpotDatabase.htm, documentation files; many of these files were updated to reference https://www.dxlabsuite.com instead of http://www.dxlabsuite.com Notes: 1. The new NeedCategory field, described in , is primarily intended for use by developers of interoperating applications, but it may be of use in SQL expressions. The NeedCategory directly corresponds to colors specified in the "Font Colors" panel on the Configuration window's "Spot Database Display" panel. The NeedCategory field is populated when a Spot Database Entry is first created, when it's updated by the receipt of a relevant spot, and by the Recompute function; thus is you intend to use it, you should first invoke the Recompute function (Configuration window, "Spot Database" tab, Recomp button) so that the NeedCategory fields of all existing Spot Database Entries are populated. If a user changes DXing objectives (via the Awards tab of DXKeeper's Configuration window) but does not subsequently invoke SpotCollector's Recompute function, then the NeedCategory fields of some entries may be incorrect - as has been the case with the colors used to render Spot Database Entries. 2. Update your firewall and anti-malware applications to consider this new version of SpotCollector to be "safe" 3. If this upgrade doesn't work correctly, see the "After an Upgrade" section of 4. After upgrading, to revert to the previous version of SpotCollector, see SpotCollector 7.9.9 is available via the DXLab Launcher, and via 73, Dave, AA6YQ
