	* Fix serial.c for hardware flow control on Linux and MacOSy
	* Add QRPLabs QCX/QDX rig -- not quite a TS480
	* Fix QRP QRDX firmware bugs in IF message so PTT works now
	* FTDX5000 will now remember startup front/read settings and restore it

	* Add Prosistel D elevation CBOX az to fix problem with azimuth control
	* Fix FT736R gpredict usage by adding cached get_freq
	* Fix get_powerstat problem with Log4OM/Flex and others
	* Fix -R option to not need argument
	* Fix -R option to close rig on last rigctld client disconnect
	* Add FTDX1200 to rigs that need to ensure PTT is off before changing frequency
	* Add --disable-parallel configure option for mingw builds on Linux

Version 4.5.1
	* 2022-12-08
	* FT2000, FTDX3000/D, FT891, FT991, FT950, FTDX5000 now set CAT TOT to 100ms
	* Add missing NB2 setting to FT-950, FTDX-1200, FT-2000, FTDX-3000, FTDX-5000,
FTDX-9000
	* Add missing meter reading to TS-890S -- thanks to Geore Baltz N3GB
	* Fix FT736 VFOB freq and mode set
	* Added send_raw to rigctl -- see rigctl man page
	* Fix AGC Level dumpcaps on most rigs
	* Fix rig_send_raw to return bytes read, fill buffer, and also work with fixed
length response/null terminator
	* Change all Kenwood rigs to 500ms serial timeout
	* Fix dumpcaps filter printout to only show declared filters
	* Fix triggering PTT on XGComms device on Linux
	* Fix level_gran in all rigs
	* Add RIG_FUNC_TUNER to flrig.c
	* Fix FT-991 level_gran (needs to be done for lots of rigs)
	* Fix man page rigctl to show units for LEVEL items
	* Fix Flex6xxx if_len
	* Fix FLRig set_ptt
	* Fix missing KEYSPD to TS890
	* rigctl 'W' command can now use a singled char terminator like ; that allows
for variable length responses with no timeout -- e.g.  W FA; ;
	* New RIG_LEVEL_USB_AF to control audio gain from rig to computer -- to allow
AGC function in software using RF and USB_AF
	* Add RIG_LEVEL_AGC_TIME to allow AGC/OFF to be set for IC-7300, IC-9700,
IC-705
	* Add RIG_FUNC_OVF_STATUS to get overflow status for IC-7300, IC-9700, IC-705,
and IC-R8600

Version 4.5
	* 2022-10-30
	* New rotator utility https://www.pianetaradio.it/blog/catrotator/
	* Add FT-710
	* Add Rohde&Schwartz EK89X receiver
	* Add Xeigu X5105
	* Add Gemini DX-1200 HF-1K Amplifiers
	* Kenwood rigs should now support AI command packets
	* Add FT-990UNI for older 990 ROMs 1.2 and earlier
	* Add FT-650
	* Add get_separator and set_separator and -S option for rigctld -- node-red
applicability
	* Add GRBLTRK rotor project -- two axis rotor
	* Add SDRPlay SDRUno rig -- can now use Data/Pkt in WSJTX
	* Add ability to use cat_string to FLRig via the "w" and "W" commands
	* Add -B/--mapa2b to rigctlcom
	  Allows rigctlcom to map set_freq on VFOA to VFOB instead
	  This will allow CW Skimmer to work with some rigs (e.g. IC7300) using FM
	  mode on VFOA and CW mode on VFOB and split mode transmit on VFOB.
	  Clicking on CW Skimmer will change VFOB instead of VFOA to allow working
	  dxpeditions where the fox is staying on frequency
	* Add password capability to rigctld via -A switch.
	  rigctld -A will produce a consistent shared key for any specific password
that can used in \password and rig_set_password
	  TBD The shared key can also be placed in .hamlib_settings
	* Asynchronous rig data output handling to support transceive and spectrum
data. Mikael, OH3BHX
	  Example for the IC-7300 to multicast on port 20001 and provide async rig
information
	  rigctld --port=20001 --model=3073 --serial-speed=115200
--rig-file=/dev/serial/... --set-conf=rts_state=OFF --set-conf=dtr_state=OFF
--multicast-addr=224.0.0.1 --multicast-port=20001 --set-conf=async=1
	  Also, spectrum data output needs to be enabled with: \set_func SPECTRUM 1
	* See new set_conf option async for some Icom rigs
	* Multicast UDP packet output for asynchronous data. Mikael, OH3BHX
	* Rig state poll routine to serve commonly used data like frequency and mode
from cache. Mikael, OH3BHX
	* deprecated hamlib_port_t at front of rig_state structure -- new one at end of
structure
	* New rig_send_raw to send/read raw command to rig
	* New RIG_LEVEL_BAND_SELECT for Yaesu rigs
	* New rig_get_conf2 to replace rig_get_conf buffer overflow potential
	* New rot_get_conf2 to reaplce rot_get_conf buffer overflow potential
	* Added Barrett 4050 -- not functional yet
	* Added TCI 1.X -- not functional yet
	* Added TM-V71(A)
	* Added IC-F8101
	* Added JRC JST-145 and JST-245
	* Added Xiegu X108G, G90, and X6100
	* Added CODAN Envoy and NGS
	* Added Lab599 TX-500
	* Added GOMSPACE GS100
	* Deprecated: rigctl commands \set_trn (A) and \get_trn (a) as they never
worked as intended
	* Deprecated: field rig_caps.transceive and RIG_TRN_* macros

The Hamlib Group is pleased to announce the release of Hamlib 3.0.

This release of Hamlib introduces a change to the version scheme.
Essentially, the leading '1.' characters have been dropped so '3.0' is a
direct follow on from the '1.2.' releases and has been configured to be
ABI compatible with the '1.2.' releases.

Bug fixes to this release will start with '3.0.1' through '3.0.n'.

The next releases will be '3.1' through '3.n' until the next major
release.
