Version 3.6.19

• Corrections to function normalizeStr to replace some missing characters.
• Extended waypoint coordinate parser for all ARINC 424 Code Convention full degree waypoint
  formats.
• Added push request #16 of @flpduarte. Fixed bug in which Little Navmap would only read and
  display a single transition from addon (Community) SIDs and STARs, despite these procedures
  actually having more than one transition. This happens when using the latest MSFS SDK (SU9 or later).
• Now saving invalid and null parking names from MSFS with indicator NONE into the database to
  allow handling in flight plans.
• Now skipping empty X-Plane apt.dat files to avoid program freezing in an empty loop for
  malformed files.
• Fixed issue where airport frequencies were written as 0 instead of null for MSFS resulting in
  wrong search results.
• Database minor version updated to 21.
• Moved version number to variable in file atools.pro instead of coding into sources.
• Now writing files version.txt and revision.txt files into deployment folder allowing
  deployment scripts to automatically name archives.
• Improvements to Flightgear XML flightplan files import and export. Thanks to @colingeniet at
  Github for the fixes.
• Now decreasing connection rate for long running sessions using autoconnect to avoid loss of
  internal SimConnect handles. After 30 minutes, an attempt is made to connect every 30 seconds, and
  after one hour, every minute. Workaround for #891 which is most likely a SimConnect issue.

Version 3.6.18

Stable release for Little Navmap update.

• Reworked weather URL test functions to allow API keys. Added METAR format reader for IVAO JSON.
  Added header parameters to HttpDownloader for API keys. #864
• Now skipping empty lines in X-Plane file header which appear in some malformed apt.dat files.
• Fixed issue in scenery library loader where airports were wrongly recognized as MSFS POI dummies.
• Corrected closed airport logic for MSFS. Now fully relying on closed airport flag for MSFS to have
  consistent behavior with the simulator. This can result in closed airports having open runways and
  open airports having all runways closed. #876
• Fixed issue where all airports were recognized as add-on with MSFS update 9.
• Corrected detection of MSFS Navigraph update due to name change in manifest.json. This fixes
  issues where add-on airports did not update scenery correctly.
• Fixed issues for updating airports by disabling a corner case from FSX and P3D which does not
  apply to MSFS. Before a feature was not updated if the new airport did not contain new
  features like aprons or taxiways. Example LICC add-on.
• Fix for Windows icon notification preventing toolbar hiding on windows with Raise Windows options enabled.
• Fixed issue when downloading NAT tracks containing PBCS TRACKS AS FOLLOWS/V W X/END OF PBCS OTS.
• Now dropping all artificial waypoints created only for procedure or airway resolution.
• Fixed issues with anti-meridian detection when point is on meridian and date line crossing was not
  always detected. This resulted in kinks in flight plan or measurement lines.

Version 3.8.1

This is an interim release for the Navdatareader.

• Removed exception in table validation. Now only printing a warning if table count does not match. This ensures a complete database even if validation finds issues.
• Now keeping indexes when finishing DFD database. This avoids the preparing database message in Little Navmap when loading the database the first time.
