The upload of version tlf-0.9.4 is ready at the download page. You only need it if you want to use the parallel port for coding band output to switch antennas, filters etc.

I just uploaded tlf-0.9.3
Main features are: USB support and the possibility to use a different config file for each operator...
I have also been able to include the latest feature requests. (Where else do you get this service? :-)
From the README:
tlf-0.9.3
=========
- Bug fix: Speed setting from logcfg.dat erratic. Changed parameter to
CWSPEED=xx (was SPEED=xx).
- Bug fix: The auto cq function could not be stopped with ESCAPE
- Changed parameter input for TNCPORT and RIGPORT. The parameters now
accept direct path entry: e.g. RIGPORT=/dev/ttyS0 or TNCPORT=/dev/ttyUSB1.
Tnx ZL2BSJ for the help. This adds USB capability to tlf...
- Added parameter NOAUTOCQ which switches off the auto_cq function
- Added parameter SSBMODE to start tlf in ssb mode (does not switch the rig).
- Added possibility to have several logcfg.dat files:
Start tlf with tlf -f<filename>. You can now have different configurations
per operator. e.g. tlf -fPA0RCT, tlf -fHB9FBL etc...
Tlf first looks at the -f parameter, and expects the file in the
working directory (e.g. /home/yourcall/contest/2003/cqwwcw/logcfg.dat).
The default filename is logcfg.dat. If there is no config file in the
working directory tlf opens PACKAGE_DATA_DIR/logcfg.dat, READ ONLY (often
needs root privileges).
You will need to change the call and other parameters on that one.
- :HELp now displays the manpage.
- :INFo now also displays the relevant filenames, addresses, and ports.
I hope these are all necessary changes for the upcoming cqww tests...
If you plan to use tlf, please test your configuration well before the test...

Thanks to Mitko, LZ3NY, tlf can now export the logfile in adif format, e.g. for use with LOTW, or for import into other loggers.
Furthermore, some bugs were fixed, including a nasty one for the cqww contest.
A few new Multipliers were added, to enable even more contests.
The standard parameters can now be separated from the contest rules/messages, which can now be read from a seaparate rules file per contest. Just put RULE="filename" into logcfg.dat...
Have a look in /usr/local/share/tlf/rules for examples...

Tlf-0.9.0 now integrates a voice keyer, making use of the sox package.
Qso logic for phone is the same as for cw: you just say the call once and press ENTER twice...
Tlf-0.9.0 is a beta version, and test reports are highly appreciated!!
You find tlf-0.9.0 in the download area.
73, and happy testing...

Tlf-0.8.20 adds a new multiplier (DX-&-SECTION) for use e.g. in the CQWW 160 meter contest (multiplier is W/VE state or CQDX country).
This version is compatible with hamlib-1.1.4, and can not be used with hamlib-1.1.3
Tlf can now be used with command line options (-v, -V, -d), and nopw starts up with minimal startup messaging in order to speed up start or restart of the program in the heat of the contest.
Some more bugs were removed....
... and finally, a manpage (tlf.1) was added for compatibility with linux etiquette....
Have fun testing...
