------ (Upstream announce) ----
There are several changes since 2.0-RC6 that are of note and can use
further testing. We are hoping to release this as the final V2.0 next
week.
- Correct defect that would cause TQSL to crash on startup if the
certificate store could not be read
- Display an error to the user if the station location data file or
certificate store cannot be opened
- When adding a Station Location, properly initialize the callsign to
correspond to the selected callsign certificate/location (not the
first call found)
- Fix the Station Location editor to not show duplicated DXCC entities
- Check for an existing valid Callsign Certificate before starting to
sign a log - if not, display an error and abort
- Updates to documentation including certificate acceptance, station
location modifications, and multi-computer scenarios
- Fix defect that caused double-clicking a .TQ6 file to fail
- Update the message in the callsign certificate request window to
better explain when a request should be signed
- Correct the error messages on TQSL update check failures to properly
explain what was going on.
- Increase the TQSL update timer to allow for slow connections
- Update to the current (v2.5) LoTW configuration file
- Strip leading and trailing spaces from IOTA, WPX, etc. Leaving these
causes signature verification to fail
- Bring up the GUI before performing the automatic update check so it
doesn't appear that TQSL has hung on startup.
can not be detected by pbulk packaging.
The PATH for the icon may not be correct, but this is where upstream
places it (please correct me if unappropriate, thanks).
Proposed at tech-pkg@ and supported by gdt@, thanks.

Subject: TQSL-2.0-RC6 Public release available
There's a new TQSL beta test release available for download.
This release corrects the following defects discovered since TQSL
2.0-RC5 (as well as severl enhancements).
Strip leading spaces and trailing spaces from station locations passed
on the command line to help correct for common user errors.
Display LoTW errors returned when a callsign certificate request fails
for some reason.
Record multiple outstanding certificate requests and delete the
pending status if the user deletes the corresponding callsign
certificate.
Remove an errant "M" on the certificate request signing page. Properly
wrap the text on that page for MacOS.
The TQSL version number is always displayed for command line usage
unless "-n" (check for new TQSL, configuration and program updates) is
used.
Added a new icon for TQSL contributed by K1GQ. The default shortcut
icon has not changed, but the new icon is available for selection.
Display an error when the TQSL configuration files (station locations,
callsign certificates, etc.) can't be opened. All earlier versions of
TQSL ignored these errors and started up with no callsign certificates
or station locations defined.
When a user selects a callsign in the Station Location window then
clicked on "Create new Station Location", the DXCC entity in the
station location wizard used the entity of the first callsign, not the
selected callsign.
The station location editor no longer shows multiple entries with the
same DXCC entity in the entity selection pulldown list when there are
multiple callsign certificates for a given callsign.
TrustedQSL is a LoTW (Logbook of The World) application to upload
QSO's (contacts) information onto Logbook servers maintained by the
ARRL (American Radio Relay League).
Logbook of The World - LoTW - is an exciting way for Radio Amateurs
to confirm two-way contacts they have made and use the confirmations
as credit toward various awards.
Because Logbook of The World uses double blind comparison, users
cannot see what other users have uploaded unless there is a matched
QSO.
