Improvements

- Better error handling for QRZ XML subscriptions.
- Added support for the Icom IC-7200.
- Other minor updates and improvements.
Bug Fixes
- Fixes to support for rig control of the Yaesu FT-847.
- Fixed a bug that occasionally caused an exception to be thrown upon receiving data from certain Icom rigs.
- Fixed a bug that caused the decimal places in the rig control frequency display to get messed up if you selected then deselected frequency in the rig data display at the bottom of the window.
- Help links should work again.
- Fixed a bug that caused a crash when enabling rig control after closing an open logbook.
- Fixed some Tiger specific bugs.
- Autoupdating should work on Tiger again.
- Fixed a bug that caused Aether to handle a frequency of 3.500 MHz (80m) in an unexpected way when importing Cabrillo files.
- If QRZ.com returns a ΓΈ instead of 0 in a looked up callsign, Aether no longer says that the station's callsign has changed.
- Many minor stability, user interface, and memory usage bug fixes.
Known Issues
- IOTA and QSL Via are not available as a column in the QSO table.
- 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.
