Fixes
– Fixed the separator between core tools and extensions

1.5.3.6
Development version
This version is a development version for testing new features. It does contain minor bug fixes to the previous version and in local testing it seems to work just fine but I have not had the chance to fly with it personally. I will have pilots testing it in the next few days so it may loose this development tag very soon.
Fixes
– Really, really think I have fixed layout save which was failing to correctly restore your custom layout.
– Fixed the crash in the new Task Rings Tool when follow me was turned on for waypoint names that were not numbers. ie: Name = 1 was fine, Name = FON1 would crash..
1.5.3.5
Development version
This version is a development version for testing new features.

Fixes – Fixed layout backup restore which was failing on some of the buttons in the layout.
New feature release
– New task rings tool available to ProPack subscribers
– Activate it in the settings > Saves & Others tab.
– Original task rings tool is still available if you prefer.
– New Task rings tool allows multiple waypoints per task so it can better deal with HWZ tasks.
– Selected waypoints for each task are listed at the bottom of the form with their name and grid.
– Selected waypoints can be deleted or sorted as needed.
– Follow me still works as before but will now track all waypoints in the list for that task.
– Task selection is now by button so it is quicker / less clicks to change between tasks.
A video will be released as soon as I get home to make it.
1.5.2.7
Fixed a problem with the main form layout no longer saving the position of the fields.
Added a backup and restore option for the layout settings. The layout is saved as Layout.XML in the oziTarget directory.
This will allow you to restore your custom layout from the file or copy it to your other computer(s) to quickly keep everything looking the same.
Once you get your layout looking just the way you want, back it up and save the Layout.xml file somewhere safe for future use.
This was temporarily released as 1.5.2.6 but there were still some issues that have now been fixed.
1.5.2.5
Windreader import – Default import values are now set for Windwatch.dat and Windwatch.csv files when they are imported.
Winds are assumed to be TRUE and FROM and AGL.
Make sure your Windsond software is providing the correct information or you will need to adjust the data after import.
Windreader re-load – the button for re-loading has been fixed so it works as expected. The last file loaded will now be properly reloaded allowing you to quickly refresh windreader data or flight winds.
Windreader Tool – a button has been added to copy your flight winds to the Windreader tool. This will give you more drawing options for your flight winds such as using the windpath tool.
Windpath – The windpath tool now handles changing between the number of colours, line width and single line colour better. Windpath lines will be cleared and re-drawn as needed or line width instantly updated.
Task rings – follow me function has been fixed so the grid co-ordintes update correctly for all grid systems and map datums.
Flight winds – To/From processing cleaned up.
Arrows in the flight winds were not processing correctly when flight winds were recorded as FROM. No one obviously does this as the fault has been there for years but now it works 🙂
Colour selectors – in the main app all colour dialog boxes now have the custom colours populated with common colours used in Oziexplorer.
Use the custom colours particularly for waypoints in the WPT Tool to prevent Oziexplorer colour problems when editing custom waypoints made by oziTarget.
1.5.2.4
Re-Center option added to context menu on main screen to move the OT window back to the middle of your screen. Helpful if due to changes in Windows display scaling issues the main OT window has had the control bar moved off the screen where you can’t access it.
Improved accuracy of wind lines. Some map calibrations were resulting in wind lines being slightly offset or not hitting the selected location on the map.
1.5.2.3
