* Sun Nov 21 2021 Wojciech Kazubski - Updated to version 2.5.2
* This is mostly a bug fix release. It has the following changes since release 2.5.1: + Repair a longstanding regression that caused signal reports from tail-ended Tx2 messages to be omitted from logged information + Parse \"dx-call-1 RR73; dx-call-2 +nn\" messages (i3=0, n3=1 DXpedition mode) in regular 77-bit modes + Repair a regression associated with setting the main window width on program startup. + Repair a problem with Q65 decodes of type \'q3\' for messages of the form \" Call_2\" + Execute code associated with Q65 decodes of type \'q5\' only when the Max Drift control is set to 50. This fix prevents double-incrementing of the message averaging counter on the first decoding sequence. + Polarization offset \'Dpol\' from the astronomical data window is now written to file azel.dat if environment variable WSJT_AZEL_EXTRA_LINES has been defined as 1 or greater. Dpol is especially useful for EME on the higher microwave bands. + The Auto Log QSO option in \"Settings->Reporting\" now behaves the same as the Prompt to log QSO option when not in a special operating context mode. + The Fast/Normal/Deep setting in Q65 mode is now a sticky setting and is no longer reset to Fast on program startup or when Settings has been opened. The user selection is used for automatic decodes, but Deep is used for any subsequent manual decode attempts. + New hamlib code to correct minor flaws in controlling several rigs. + Update the Chinese and Hong Kong translations of the user interface.
