# Aether Release Notes

This is version 1.5.7 of Aether. This update includes minor new features and several bug fixes. See below for a complete list of changes. This release is identical to 1.5.6 with the exception of a fix for a bug in the Italian and German versions of Aether that caused users to be unable to open Aether except in English.

# New Features

- Clicking on the distance indicator now toggles between using miles and kilometers.
- Added an "Update QSO With Current Rig Values" option to the Log menu.

# Improvements

- The Mac App Store version of Aether now checks for an existing tqsl configuration upon first launch, and imports it if possible.
- The QSO table is now scrolled to the selected/current QSO upon clicking done to finish viewing QSOs with the same station.
- Dupe checking logic now handles callsigns with "slash" prefixes and suffixes better.

# Bug Fixes

- Fixed bug that caused Aether to fail to import .tq6 certificates, often with cryptic errors.
- Fixed a bug that caused Aether to fail to import a .p12 certificate if a more recently requested certificate with the same callsign was already installed.
- Fixed a bug that caused malformed ADIF output in certain very rare cases.
- The preferences window no longer shrinks every time you click the "General" button in the Mac App Store version of Aether.
- Fixed tab order in the QSL preferences pane.
- Fixed a bug that caused the displayed QSO time to jump around when clicking on different fields in the time picker if Aether was set to display using local time.
- The date column in the QSO table now responds to changes in the displayed time zone preference without a requiring Aether to be restarted.
- Aether will now accept ADIF files with the extension ".adif".
- Aether will now accept Cabrillo files with the extension ".cab".
- Fixed a bug that caused Aether to repeatedly ask for eQSL.cc password even if the "remember password" box had been checked.
- If the eQSL.cc inbox doesn't contain any QSOs, Aether no longer presents an error saying it couldn't download a report.
- QSOs must be with stations in the U.S. to count towards the USA-CA award.
- Fixed some inconsistencies in the awards indicator's behavior.
- Minor fix to serial port settings for FT-2000.
