- Debug mode can now be invoked by holding the shift key while launching Aether.

# Bug Fixes

- The date column now respects the system format for dates.
- Various other minor bug fixes, stability, and user interface improvements.

- Fixed a bug that prevented the selection of Aether DB files as the default file to open using the Browse button.

# Known Issues

- Power setting is not read from most Yaesu rigs. This is because most Yaesu rigs do not support reading this data over the CAT connection. The power field will be hidden for these Yaesu rigs in a future update.
- VoiceOver will not read the time field's value. This is a known issue and will be fixed in a future update.
- Updates are needed for new features in the Italian localization of Aether.
