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.
