<h1>KST4Contest Manual</h1>
<p>
The manual describes the controls and interfaces of KST4Contest as well as
the reasoning behind functions that derive information from chat messages,
station data or external programs. Where a result depends on incomplete
information, the corresponding limitations are described as well.

<h2>Stable for operation, Beta or Nightly for testing</h2>
<p>
The Stable build is normally the appropriate choice for contest
operation. Beta and Nightly builds are useful when a specific correction
or new function needs to be tested. Test them before the contest rather
than during its first minutes.
