Spot 1.9.10 Released on 14 February 2009.

This release is a bug release, fixing a collection of bugs reported over the past month. One major change is the removal of the automatic update feature. The library I was using did not work as well as I wanted and I felt it was annoying people so it has been removed. I will be re-writing this function over the next few weeks.

Screen Details

The top of the screen contains 2 popup menus. The one at the top left (All Types) allows you to specify which type of DXCluster you want to connect to. You can leave it at All Types and see every DXCluster known to AD1C, Jim, who maintains the list at www.dxcluster.info. If you select a specific DXCluster type, the second popup menu (currently showing K3NC) will be filtered to only show DXClusters of the selected type.

This information is remembered from previous executions, so one you select a cluster, its URL and port information will automatically be entered for you.

Second popup is the one with the valid DXClusters defined. This information is verified (and updated if necessary) every time you run Spot.
