Major changes:
Control panel removed and all its functionality transferred to the toolbar buttons.
Complete rework of the storage of notam entries within the program using a tree based
viewer to organise and display the data.
Both UK FIRs can be obtained/displayed at the same time.

notam entries selected on the map (if, for example, two are coincedent).

Task dialogue now calculates the task distance and, if possible, the triangle distance.
Task dialogue offers selection of turnpoints by long name as well as trigraph or ICAO ID.

still be used on slower machines.

Minor changes:

as it was only really useful for testing.
Known Bugs:
The status line should indicate progress during downloads but doesn't keep pace with events.
May not close an area on the map if the notam does not contain 'ORIGIN'
Tabbing through the turnpoints doesn't work. You have to select with the mouse.
Bugs cleared:


0.3 beta

Right clicking on the map will now re-centre the map about the clicked point.
A cross is now drawn on the map to denote the home point.
The program will automatically load the last saved notam when it starts. If no
  previously saved file exists, no data will be displayed.
The current notam data is optionally saved to disk on exit - see line above.
The age of the Notam data is displayed on the titlebar. This corresponds to
  the time since the Notam was issued, not when it was downloaded.
Any change to program options thet influences the display is updated when the
  options dialogue closes.
NotamView can now be configured to use a proxy server to access the Internet if
  this is required. If the proxy requires a password, a dialogue will pop up.
  Only basic authentication is supported. Note that there must be an address
  and port number in the options fields even if this feature is not used. Setting
  127.0.0.1 and 8080 is the default.
The save filename in the options dialogue now specifies the name of the file
  used to save the formatted data. The raw data filename cannot be changed.
