I have released a beta including the following improvements (latest changes highlighted in boldface):

Corrected: QSO Entry: if the QSO Entry window was closed, when forcing editing a QSO from a Logbook view having notes in the Notes field, the Notes field was empty after the QSO Entry window was opened.
Corrected: Tools / Export WSJT-X Log: FT2 mode was not included in the mode list.
Corrected: Add QSO: when entering text in the "Operator" field, the cursor always moves back one step to the beginning.
Corrected: Tools / Update awards information / Update DEE reference list: field position was truncated when a comma was found in the middle of a field causing a wrong field allocation.
Corrected: Tools / Update awards information / Update AGCW members list: "20.04.2026 is not a valid integer value"

Beta versions contains all enhancements which will be implemented in the next official release. It may contain new functions or corrections. Beta versions are open for all users to test but keep in mind it may contain bugs so test it at your own risk!. I'm not responsible if something goes wrong!

For your info (and tranquility) I'm always working with latest beta in my daily ham radio activity. Before uploading a beta I always test it for a while so there are few possibilities to find very important bugs (although it may happen...). However, it's important to me to have beta testers to inform me if something goes wrong before releasing an official version.

IMPORTANT: Do the following before using a beta version:

Perform a backup copy of your existing database.
Rename your existing SwisslV5.exe before using the latest beta (i.e: SwisslV5_old.exe). In case of problems you can revert to the original version by deleting the beta and rename the original file to SwisslV5.exe.

Once you have renamed the original Swisslog executable file, download and copy latest beta in the Swisslog folder by clicking on this link:

https://www.swisslogforwindows.com/Beta/SwisslV5.exe

Your antivirus may inform you this file may be dangerous. This is a normal behaviour because it detects that only the EXE file has been modified and releases a warning to the user. Keep calm, ignore this message and run Swisslog. Swisslog is free of virus!

If you will use the beta, please send me an e-mail to support@swisslogforwindows.com to know which users are using it. Feel free to write me if you find any bug.

Beta versions will have the same version number of latest official version but the release date changes (check latest Beta date in Help / About ...).

I will post messages in this thread for latest beta available including all changes included. In order to avoid a long list of messages, this thread will only contain beta versions for current official version. As soon as I release the official version, beta messages will be deleted. This way this thread will always contain latest beta changes.
