changes and updates include:
1. fix spurious ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsExceptions from parsing Mic-E and
position report messages that have the absolute bare minimum amount
of text and have no optional fields appended.
2. fix progress dialog percentage report when importing CSV-format
packet logs.
3. add support for the Byonics TinyTrak4's ability to pass through GPS
sentences as an alternate-DeviceID KISS "frame" in the serial
connection to YAAC, when the GKRELAY command is properly configured.
This updates the Serial_TNC, KISS-over-TCP, and Bluetooth_TNC port
drivers (Bluetooth plugin).
4. regularize size of map zoom buttons, fix sizing and scaling of
map scale to always be a round multiple of 2, 5, or 10.
5. properly handle seamark beacons with an unspecified color.
6. fix problem with AX.25 ports that feed through GPS sentences when
the sentence boundaries aren't caught correctly, causing spurious
errors that can't be read because of the embedded carriage return
characters.
7. try to optimize reading UTF-8 strings and OSM objects from files a
little more.
8. add generic ability for PortConnectors to report asynchronous status
changes not already handled by PortStatusListener, PortMgmtListener,
or PortEventListener.
9. remove support for Byonics TT4 prompt catching in Serial_TNC
PortConnector, as it will never work unless the TinyTrak4 is
rebooted just as YAAC opens the port.
10. fix naming of AIS decoder plugin in website "store".
11. fix parsing errors in AIS decoder, add support for DGNSS and
Aid-to-Navigation messages.
12. add identification of vessel nation-of-registry in AIS decoder.

14. improve error reporting and documentation in repeater finder plugin
when rig control serial ports can't be found.
15. add support to repeater finder plugin to recognize Yaesu System
Fusion (C4FM) repeater objects.
16. add Java Activation library to telemetry alarm plugin so email will
still work on Java runtime version 9 and above.
17. improve screen appearance of upgrade utility, ensure O/S-provided
window close button behaves the same as the Cancel button in the
upgrader's UI.
18. augment upgrader to support plugins that include native libraries
(in preparation for deprecating use of RXTX library).
