As with all of the FL suite, Fldigi continues to support both PowerPC and Intel (i386) processors; with individual downloads available for each architecture and can be downloaded here.

Version 3.23.21 — Maintenance release

PSKMAIL beacon faults
- investigate and correct seg faults caused by pskmail beacon
Documentation
- corrections to browser doc page
kml auto_ptr deprecated
- Change code to avoid C++11 warning regarding use
  of auto_ptr. Maintain backward compatability.
build flags
- add CXXFLAG & CPPFLAG
  – –param=max-vartrack-size=0
Logbook update
- Too many reports of lost logbooks due to operator error
  – specifically selecting “New” should create a new log
  named “newlog.adi(f)” in the default logbook folder.
  – force the user to specifically request a write over /
  erase if the file already exists!
- Save the following ADIF fields from their associated
  text edit field
  – <STATION_CALLSIGN> <== Station Call, existing
  – <OPERATOR> <== Operator Call, new
  – <MY_GRIDSQUARE> <== Station Locator,existing
  – <MY_CITY> <== Station QTH, existing
- Change add a logbook entry to append rather than
  rewrite the entire log.
  – adding a new record only writes a single record
  to the h/d file. Reduces work load for older
  computers operating with marginal OS (read as XP)
  and support h/w.
- Change cQsoDB sort routines to avoid copy of any
  records or record contents
  – references to pointer and pointer contents is always
  faster if not as safe
- Removed CRC values in logbook data base file
  – unused and not needed
- Update fldigi logbook documentation
N3FJP record rejections
- Insure that CALL and other fields are stripped of
  leading and trailing whitespace before submitting
  log record to N3FJP application
- Inhibit multiple dup checks on the same call sign
- Inhibit dup checks on calls with less than 3 alpha-numeric
  characters
- Inhibit dup check on calls with 3 alph-numeric when last
  char is numeric
- Inhibit N3FJP refresh of CALL after submitting a log entry
  – fldigi was calling TABEVENT which in turn updated the
  CALL entry in fldigi … a bit of round robin.
