Thank you very much for your post, John. Posts like yours certainly give me
motivation to continue working on the application, even when I find issues
that are difficult to solve in an elegant manner. :-)

This old man is just swept away by what you have been producing, Rune!
This very ordinary user has kept quiet about this superb application
and left comments to the savants. Now, though, with this 0.0.10 release,
I just have to convey a massive "thank you" on behalf of all of us
lesser users, ham radio operators particularly. We hams now have
something we could only have dreamed of until a couple of months ago;
it amounts to a $10k instrument.
A Linux system is in use here. The application works perfectly in
every detail tested so far. A special "thank you", too, for troubling to
furnish something better for old eyes than that minute font, Rune!
Mention will be made of something that defeated this user initially
because other less alert users may also bump into it. The reason for the
following has not been investigated but it will be something dim witted
done at this end because of being compelled to use the blunt instrument
of a 74 year old brain! The "SWEEP" option was found, repeatedly, grayed
out when trying to perform calibration. What was going on proved to be
very simple. The initial port assignment had been "/dev/ttyACM1". The
application had found the correct port by itself, as designed. What was
going on proved to be, somehow, reassignment to "/dev/ttyACM0". Of
course no sweep could be done with the application looking into a vacant
port. Manually forcing back the port to "/dev/ttyACM1" fixes the issue.
Many many thanks, Rune, on behalf of all the hams who now have a
truly superb tool.

I just released 0.0.10:
It's not the most exciting release, but it offers some quality of life
improvements, such as the ability to choose the font size (particularly
useful for Linux users, whose default is a massive 11 pt font).
It also adds debug logging: -d to get log messages to the terminal, or -D
filename.txt to log to a file. Useful if you see crashes!
Additionally, it now supports importing magnitude/angle touchstone files,
and there's been a number of little bugfixes.
As ever, I look forward to hearing what bugs you find, and what new
features you want! :-)
