JTAlert once again supports Ham Radio Deluxe - but read on

I just noticed this on hamapps.com

"New JTAlert 2.10.0 is available for download.

This version has full support for FT8 and the 15sec T/R period.
HRD v6 logging is again supported. HRD v5 and V6 users need to upgrade their JTAlert version to 2.10.0 to avoid logging and spotting the wrong mode (FT8 spotted/logged as T10 or JT9).

Visit HamApps.com for the download link and upgrade instructions.

Please review these release notes for 2.10.0
  **** HRD V6 logging is again supported by JTAlert.
  **** The HRD V6 logging support in this release is a one-time event.
  **** Releases after 2.10.0 will again no longer have HRD V6 support.

  New Features:
    - Full FT8 mode support and its 15 sec T/R period.
    - All the Wanted alert types support FT8 mode tracking.
    - Scan Log supports FT8 mode for all Alert types.
    - Additional Alert tracking option, "Any WSJT-X Mode (JT65 or JT9 or FT8)".
    - FT8 mode statistics from HamSpots included in Band Activity displays.
    - Call History popup & standalone window support FT8 data from Log lookup.
    - WSJT-X mode character included in JTAlert titlebar (before the Band).
       Character matches that used in WSJT-X, "#" = JT65, "@" = JT9, "~" = FT8.

  Changes:
    - Macros window single instance setting removed. Each JTAlert instance must
       open its own Macro window for each WSJT-X/JTDX instance.
    - End TX/RX Period alert disabled for FT8 mode.
    - Auto-Halt after current TX is disabled for FT8 mode.
    - Confirmed Bands Display (below log fields) right area will display Bands
       worked/confirmed matching WSJT-X TX mode JT9 or FT8
    - Many internal code changes to support FT8 mode and 15s T/R period and to
       correctly distinguish between WSJT-X and JTDX running processes.
       (** The JTDX program calls itself wsjtx.exe which it isn't **)
    - The multi-instance support has also been changed. Running multiple copies
       of JTAlert against both WSJT-X and JTDX simultaneously is not supported.
       You can run multiple instances of JTAlert against either WSJT-X OR JTDX
       only. Both types of applications can be running simultaneously on the PC,
       but only one JTAlert operating mode (against WSJT-X or JTDX) is allowed.

  Fixes:
    - WSJT-X docking stops when a WSJT-X Configuration switch is made.
    - DXKeeper Capture window inadvertently populated when DXKeeper is instructed
       to filter its display on a new DX Call change.

One time event? I'm not sure what is going on there and I actually don't care. I now use the excellent QSO Relay as a go between to allow JTAlert and HRD logging to function
