3. speed up YAAC startup by optimizing initialization code.
4. properly identify private Objects as Objects when they will
never have any messages.
5. add ability to draw "heat map" of station position density
across time (for moving station coverage).
6. add optional capability to send an Object kill message when
a locally originated Object is deleted from the local system.
7. harden packet log import code to survive cases when logged
packets were corrupted.
8. add the ability to mark selected stations with higher or lower

need updating.

quad-sized icons.

disconnects when traffic is light.
19. make the "pool ball" icons stop rotating on the map.

21. make it possible to clear old history from the vessels table in
the AisDecoder plugin.
22. fix pseudo-APRS-IS server plugin to send cached state of known

to get current on network status.
23. update demo and smallscreen plugins to work with new screen
feature added to support a previous build's update to the
dynamic objects plugin.
24. add ability in dynamic objects plugin to locate the position
of a distance along a route.
