Fairly lengthy changes we were quite out of date...
I did do a quick API check.

* Fix kenwood_ts890_get_level
* Add Prosistel D elevation CBOX az to fix problem with azimuth control
* Fix FT736R gpredict usage by adding cached get_freq
* Fix get_powerstat problem with Log4OM/Flex and others
* Fix -R option to not need argument
* Fix -R option to close rig on last rigctld client disconnect
* Add FTDX1200 to rigs that need to ensure PTT is off before changing frequency
* Add --disable-parallel configure option for mingw builds on Linux
Version 4.5.1
* 2022-12-08
* FT2000, FTDX3000/D, FT891, FT991, FT950, FTDX5000 now set CAT TOT to 100ms
* Add missing NB2 setting to FT-950, FTDX-1200, FT-2000, FTDX-3000, FTDX-5000, FTDX-9000
* Add missing meter reading to TS-890S -- thanks to Geore Baltz N3GB
* Fix FT736 VFOB freq and mode set
* Added send_raw to rigctl -- see rigctl man page
* Fix AGC Level dumpcaps on most rigs
* Fix rig_send_raw to return bytes read, fill buffer, and also work with fixed length response/null terminator
* Change all Kenwood rigs to 500ms serial timeout
* Fix dumpcaps filter printout to only show declared filters
* Fix triggering PTT on XGComms device on Linux
* Fix level_gran in all rigs
* Add RIG_FUNC_TUNER to flrig.c
* Fix FT-991 level_gran (needs to be done for lots of rigs)
* Fix man page rigctl to show units for LEVEL items
* Fix Flex6xxx if_len
* Fix FLRig set_ptt
* Fix missing KEYSPD to TS890
* rigctl 'W' command can now use a singled char terminator like ; that allows for variable length responses with no timeout -- e.g. W FA; ;
* New RIG_LEVEL_USB_AF to control audio gain from rig to computer -- to allow AGC function in software using RF and USB_AF
* Add RIG_LEVEL_AGC_TIME to allow AGC/OFF to be set for IC-7300, IC-9700, IC-705
* Add RIG_FUNC_OVF_STATUS to get overflow status for IC-7300, IC-9700, IC-705, and IC-R8600
Version 4.5
* 2022-10-30
* New rotator utility https://www.pianetaradio.it/blog/catrotator/
* Add FT-710
* Add Rohde&Schwartz EK89X receiver
* Add Xeigu X5105
* Add Gemini DX-1200 HF-1K Amplifiers
* Kenwood rigs should now support AI command packets
* Add FT-990UNI for older 990 ROMs 1.2 and earlier
* Add FT-650
* Add get_separator and set_separator and -S option for rigctld -- node-red applicability
* Add GRBLTRK rotor project -- two axis rotor
* Add SDRPlay SDRUno rig -- can now use Data/Pkt in WSJTX
* Add ability to use cat_string to FLRig via the "w" and "W" commands
* Add -B/--mapa2b to rigctlcom
Allows rigctlcom to map set_freq on VFOA to VFOB instead
This will allow CW Skimmer to work with some rigs (e.g. IC7300) using FM
mode on VFOA and CW mode on VFOB and split mode transmit on VFOB.
Clicking on CW Skimmer will change VFOB instead of VFOA to allow working
dxpeditions where the fox is staying on frequency
* Add password capability to rigctld via -A switch.
rigctld -A will produce a consistent shared key for any specific password that can used in \password and rig_set_password
TBD The shared key can also be placed in .hamlib_settings
* Asynchronous rig data output handling to support transceive and spectrum data. Mikael, OH3BHX
Example for the IC-7300 to multicast on port 20001 and provide async rig information
rigctld --port=20001 --model=3073 --serial-speed=115200 --rig-file=/dev/serial/... --set-conf=rts_state=OFF --set-conf=dtr_state=OFF --multicast-addr=224.0.0.1 --multicast-port=20001 --set-conf=async=1
Also, spectrum data output needs to be enabled with: \set_func SPECTRUM 1
* See new set_conf option async for some Icom rigs
* Multicast UDP packet output for asynchronous data. Mikael, OH3BHX
* Rig state poll routine to serve commonly used data like frequency and mode from cache. Mikael, OH3BHX
* deprecated hamlib_port_t at front of rig_state structure -- new one at end of structure
* New rig_send_raw to send/read raw command to rig
* New RIG_LEVEL_BAND_SELECT for Yaesu rigs
* New rig_get_conf2 to replace rig_get_conf buffer overflow potential
* New rot_get_conf2 to reaplce rot_get_conf buffer overflow potential
* Added Barrett 4050 -- not functional yet
* Added TCI 1.X -- not functional yet
* Added TM-V71(A)
* Added IC-F8101
* Added JRC JST-145 and JST-245
* Added Xiegu X108G, G90, and X6100
* Added CODAN Envoy and NGS
* Added Lab599 TX-500
* Added GOMSPACE GS100
* Deprecated: rigctl commands \set_trn (A) and \get_trn (a) as they never worked as intended
* Deprecated: field rig_caps.transceive and RIG_TRN_* macros
