Minor update (especially for VR users using the "wait" mode)

- "Suppress end message" option blocks both task rules and summary messages
- Task rules are written to file if filename is not blank, whatever the "Task Rules warnings" option
- "TP not found" message only displayed in "Verbose" mode

Version 4.1.1 is available from the webpage: https://condorutill.fr/

If you are happy with version 4.1 and are not interested by these features, no need to update.

Many thanks to the beta-tester !

Another minor update which might be interesting for SGP competitions

XCSoar & LK8000: the start maximum speed is written in the .tsk file, resp. .lkt
The data is accessible only in the CoTaCo.ini file ("Start max speed")
It will be in the GUI in a later version.

Version 4.1.2 is available from the webpage: https://condorutill.fr/

If you are happy with version 4.1 and are not interested by this feature, no need to update.

Many thanks to the beta-tester who suggested that !

An update with some miscellaneous improvements:
- support Finish Min Altitude for competitions with arrival penalties
- Finish Min Altitude and Start Max Speed accessible in the dialog box
- altitude and speed displayed in the dialog box according to unit selection
- Wait mode (Autoload=2 or -wait on the command line) now only deals with the default Condor flight plan file
- optionally create JSON files to be used on cunimb.net (from .fpl or .cup files)
- optionally convert 500m/360° sectors to FAI sectors (when writing .json & .cup files)
- optionally disable max altitudes in .cup files

Possible (but very rare) Condor blue screen workaround:
- Wait mode : an extra 4s delay added after detecting the file update, before reading it

Version 4.2 is available from the webpage: https://condorutill.fr/

Many thanks to the beta-tester for testing and suggestions !

It looks like XCSoar has changed once again the file format for the path to the polar file in the profile file :roll: :roll: :roll:

I had made a fix some time ago : viewtopic.php?f=29&t=18102&p=175421&hil ... ar#p175421

A user has contacted me recently about XCSoar not accepting the "/" in the path to the polar file anymore
Has someone else experienced issues with that recently ?

XCSoar profile file : the "/" vs "\" issue in the polar file path is fixed
Version 4.2.2 is available on the webpage

LK8000 or SeeYou Navigator users may keep on using version 4.2.1 as there are no other changes
