  * Switched the config file to XML format using the XML library in Lazarus.
    If no XML config file is found and a config file in the old format exists,
    it gets loaded as before and automatically saved in the new format.

  * Rewritten part of the font magnification code, which at last works as
    intended.

  * Fixed again a regression in the [RX] [TX] [ENTER] and [TX] [RX] [ENTER]
    syntaxes.

  * Revised messages in the [SET TIME] commands.

  * Some more debug messages added.

  * Thrown away hamlib documentation and found by trial with rigtld 4.5.5,
    4.6.2 and 4.7~git the get_lock_mode reply correct syntax (which is
    0<LF>RPRT 0<LF>; why that only "get" command sends the RPRT 0 reply,
    which so far was used only by the "set" commands, it is not known). Now
    the hamlib rigctld maybe-compatible server works with all newer versions
    of WSJTX, FLDIGI, GRIG, QSSTV and XLOG.

  * Added a {$DEFINE SENDDONE} and the relevant code to select whether send
    or not 'done' at the end of the \dump_state hamlib command response. All
    rigctld versions checked do not send it, at least in the dummy backend,
    but it seems to be required by the hamlib version used in WSJTX 2.7.0.

  * Revised the Message() procedure. Removed all Application.ProcessMessages
    calls and moved it in the protected section exposing a MsgToShow property
    to ease message displaying in the main form from other units.

  * Added a RunGUI procedure to break long procedures and keep GUI running.
    All previous calls to Application.ProcessMessages substituted with calls
    to RunGUI which in turn calls Application.ProcessMessages.

  * Changed all direct calls to the Message() procedure with assignments to the
    MsgToShow property.

  * Revised and enabled by default the 'Read ON hours' menu item.

  * Revised the logic of bandwidth selection/indication vs. mode to match more
    closely the CU8000 version 92.0 behaviour.

  * Revised the logic of filter LED lightup to (hopefully) match the indication
    of the CU with that of the program.

  * Reinserted the 'kHz / hrs-min' label in the main form which misteriously
    vanished.

  * Revised the time display routine in the TX OFF state.

  * Enabled partially working commands ("Read programmable tune step" and
    "Read wakeup time" which show value only in the CU) and issued a
    warning message about that.

  * Revised the "Read CU8000 Configuration", "Read CU8000 Version" and
    "Read TU8000 version" menu items.

  * Revised the SetDefaultConfig procedure.

  * Revised the delay $IFDEFs in the SendCommand procedure.

  * Some more unnecessary comment added.

  * Revised Makemanuals-xx scripts and moved them in the scripts directory

  * Revised documentation.

  * Previous changelog

  v0.99 20250120  WSJT 2.7.0 compatibility fixes in uparse.pas: added
  (build >= 250)  handling of the get_lock_mode and get_powerstat commands.
                  Added a "Release priority" command in the set_mode command.
  v0.99 20231207  Some more "Release priority" commands added to speed up remote
  (build >= 235)  commands execution. Revised the set_split_freq hamlib command.
                  Added set_lock_mode and get_lock_mode used by newer WSJT-X.
                  Reinserted [RX][TX][ENTER] and [TX][RX][ENTER] syntaxes
                  handling which mysteriously vanished from program.
  v0.99 20221210  More parameter checking added in TCP server. TUNE timeout 
  (build >= 228)  increased to 15 seconds. Revised manuals adding a BEWARE OF
                  section and making minor corrections. Modified the scripts
                  used to generate the manual files to use as source the
                  versions stored in the man/ folder instead of a local copy.
  v0.99 20220930  Added a warning message when a remote application connects to
  (build >= 226)  the hamlib rigctld-compatible server with "Transceiver" and/or
                  "Status reading" enabled. In the minimal file manager "Move to
                  channel" and "Move to state" commands added. Many cleanups and
                  updates in the hamlib server: revised the error codes
                  returned, added a check for extended response protocol (not
                  supported) and some other hamlib rigctld commands added.
  (build < 185)   Added a minimum, approximative and mostly incomplete
                  implementation of a hamlib rigctld-compatible TCP server.
                  Tested to work with WSJTX, FLDIGI, GRIG, XDX and XLOG.
                  Small mods to the main code to integrate the server.
                  Cleanups to the code ($DEFINEs moved to a separate file
                  included where appropriate). Corrected a long-lasting bug in
                  the SendCommand routine which prevented to correctly repeat
                  a command if a timeout expired without receiving anything
                  (e.g. when SUPPLY ON/OFF button is pressed with the TRP8000
                  switched off). Corrected a small aesthetic inaccuracy: the
                  ON/OFF button turned green even if the serial port was not
                  successfully opened. Updated documentation.
  v0.98 20211231  (build >= 400) Completed the SCAN command syntax. Rewritten
  (not released)  the Message() procedure to manually handling multiline
                  strings. Got around the 7s timeout in the "Test alarm" and
                  "Send alarm" commands. Rewritten show control character code
                  to handle all used control characters. When a timeout expires
                  and DLE is received, try to reconnect the CU. Modified the
                  SET TIME state machine to follow more closely the CU8000
                  behaviour. Used an enum for keyboard state (keyboard states
                  are becoming too many).
                  Updated the RCL command to allow loading ITU channels, if any.
                  Revised the LoadChannel procedure to allow exiting from
                  chan/scan modes by loading a channel. Added a scan window to
                  scan a frequency interval and show a graph of the results.
                  Completed the RCL, RX and TX syntax. Revised and updated
                  documentation. Some small aesthetic changes.
  v 0.98 20210313 (build < 400) All system rescaling turned off (I hope). Moved
                  the main window width and height restore code, which was
                  mistakenly put in the FormCreate procedure, leading to a race
                  condition, to the FormShow procedure. Written the first draft
                  of a full-blown manual as Linux man page. Text, PDF and html
                  versions now are created from the man page. Written a small
                  script to do that. Manual and GNU license now are loaded from
                  file instead of being hardcoded in the Memo. The memo now is
                  shown at screen center and the width is modified according to
                  the selected font magnification ratio. Added the Font
                  magnification % option. Used the free, better looking and
                  embeddable DejavuSansMono font for manual and license memos.
                  Updated the DigitalDreamFat font with the new version which do
                  not has anymore legal embedding issues of which lintian may
                  complain of. Used the version numbering available in Lazarus
                  and modified the AboutBox and the main window caption to also
                  show the build number. Added author's email in the AboutBox.
                  Under Windows the SkantiControl folder now may be put in any
                  location as long as the SkantiControl.exe executable is put
                  into it. Added the i18n feature and done the italian
                  translation. Added disabling of dimmer buttons at start of a
                  manual test and reenabling when the test completes. Added
                  timeouts in self test handling. Added a label in the aboutbox
                  to show the translator name, if any. Some code cleanups and
                  small mods here and there.
  v0.97  20210114 Rescale code checked and fixed for high-DPI monitors (I hope).
                  Fixed the "Start always in LP mode" option which do not
                  behaved correctly anymore after adding the "Read CU status"
                  feature.
  v0.96a 20210207 Rewritten the font scaling code to use the Height property,
                  which is independent of the screen DPI, instead of Size, which
                  is instead DPI-dependent.
  v0.96  20210206 Feature added: make the 2182 and 500 buttons remappable to
                  user-definable states. Use Arial font for captions in all
                  versions. Added Arial.ttf and Arial_Bold.ttf to the fonts
                  subdirectory. (Linux) Changed the font subdirectory
                  to /usr/share/fonts/skanticontrol.
  v0.95 rev. 2 NOT RELEASED
  v0.95  20201007 (rev. 1) Corrected the inline help and the text size
                  of the tune down button.
  v0.95  20201004 Changed all buttons to TJButtons from the jujibo package and
                  unified ALL sources in one. Added code to deal with "Read CU
                  Status" command present in the 92.0 CU firmware version. Added
                  code to manage the programmable step feature. Removed
                  inter-characters delay in SendComand and made it configurable
                  (default zero).
  v0.92  20200628 Mostly cosmetic changes (position of some control). Small mods
                  in the code to avoid warnings.
  v0.91  20200627 Corrected some little and not-so-little bugs. Tried to work
                  around the TGroupBox flaws (under Windows setting an empty
                  caption does not release the space for the caption, so tried
                  to set a 1-size font).
  v0.90  20200623 Code to resize controls in main window ported from old
                  Delphi program. RX and TX frequency display changed to
                  eight/seven single-character TStaticText in a Groupbox to
                  avoid recalculating (mostly wrong) the digit position at
                  every main window resizing.
                  Some minor changes.
  v0.86 20181228  TLabel & TStaticText OnMouseWheel used, now mouse wheel on
                  frequency figures works also under Windows.
                  S-Meter and P-Meter style changed.
                  Conversion from 0-20 LED units to s-units added.
                  Various cleanups.
  v0.85 20180907  Mostly cosmetic changes.
                  Corrected package dependencies as Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS.
  v0.83 20150628  Added option "Use UTC time".
                  Minor tweaks here and there.
  v0.81 20140316  Further tests under Windows XP revealed other oddities in the
                  keyboard handling. Fixed.
                  Handling of 10-Hz step RX tuning was not correct. Fixed,
  v0.8 20140119   Some features added:
                  Selection of immediate or deferred TX frequency update
                  in transceiver mode.
                  Mini file manager to manage states and channels.
                  Minor cosmetic tweaks.
                  Real-world tests done under Windows XP and some
                  corrections applied.
                  Real-world tests done under Ubuntu 13.10 and some
                  corrections applied.
                  Real-world tests done using a USB-to-Serial converter
                  both for the Windows and Linux versions and some
                  corrections applied.
  v0.7 20131225   Fixed a bug in the NAK-handling code and removed all fixed
                  delays. Added deferred TX frequency update in transceiver
                  mode. Added tuning on the RX and TX frequency display by
                  mouse wheel. Added Channels menu.
