locked New JTAlert 2.14.5 available. #Announcement #NewRelease

HamApps Support (VK3AMA)
 

The Latest JTAlert version 2.14.5 is now available @ https://HamApps.com

With this release there is no longer a separate installer for the "Alternate Layout" (now called "Alt Layout") build of JTAlert. Both JTAlert build types, "Traditional" (menus in titlebar) and "Alt Layout" (menus below titlebar) are included in the one installer package. Switching between build types is now a simple matter or using the correct shortcut, there is no need to install a different build. Each Build type / Operation type  (WSJT-X or JTDX) combination uses a unique coloured shortcut icon.

For users who can't or refuse to read release notes, the shortcuts for each build & operation type are...
  • Red => JTAlert for WSJT-X.
  • Blue => JTAlert for JTDX.
  • Green => JTAlert (Alt Layout) for WSJT-X.
  • Purple => JTAlert (Alt Layout) for JTDX.
See the release notes below for a full list of changes and fixes.

As usual the JTAlert installer file has been run through VirusTotal. HamApps.com has the link to the full analysis results. The installer file produced two false-positives. The GData warning is simply due to JTAlert being created using the AutoIT script compiler and the Trapmine warning is a machine-learning (ml) warning which is similar to the reputation type warnings seen in the past from Norton (low installed user-base). Both are false-positives, neither identifying a know infection.
