RELEASE NOTES: StationBase Desktop v. 1.00 beta 7

Note: This version is a drop-in replacement for the existing StationBase executable.


UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS:

- Open the downloaded .ZIP file in a file manager, then:
  Windows:
    - Copy the file "stationbase.exe" to your StationBase installation folder
  Linux:
    - Copy the file "stationbase" (not the folder) to your StationBase installation folder


CHANGES IN BETA 7:
- The look of statistical reports has been improved.

CHANGES IN BETA 6:
- In the Stats Center, attempting to generate a stations listing by geopolitical division may have caused an access violation. This has been corrected.

CHANGES IN BETA 5:
- The ability to re-index databases has been added. This is a just-in-case feature.

CHANGES IN BETA 4:
- A bug was fixed, whereby it was possible to enter duplicate items.
- Identity-based duplicate entry protection is now in place some data-entry screens.
  (Stations, Locations, Equipment, Equipment Sets, Networks, Radio Bands)

CHANGES IN BETA 3:
- In the main screen, a newly-entered station will not continue to be the focus after it disappears from view.
- In the Station Details screen, entering a text string into the Network Selector will cause a search; either the first exact match,
  or in its absence the first partial match, will be returned. If not match, the selector will be reset.
- The Station Details screen's behaviour has been modified:
  - When entering sub-screens (Network Manager, etc.), you no longer lose the edits you had made.
  - When saving a new station, the Station Details screen does not close
  RATIONALE:
  - The changes were relatively quick and easy to do.
  - The changes greatly simplify entering a new station and accomanying Reception Report.
  - The changes remove the onus of saving-and-exiting before entering a Reception Report, from the operator.

CHANGES IN BETA 2:
- Network records cannot be deleted if they are in use by a Station record.
- Location records cannot be deleted if they are in use by a Reception Report.
- Equipment Set records cannot be deleted if they are in use by a Reception Report.
- Equipment Item records cannot be deleted if they are included in an Equipment Set.
  RATIONALE:
  - Deleting one of these records leaves a 'hole' in records making use of it as a subsidiary.
  - It is not anticipated that records will often need to be deleted.
  - Therefore, this protection is indicated.
