Several operators hit "stage current exe: rename …\OpsLog.exe …\OpsLog.exe.old:
Accès refusé" and could not update again. Two separate causes, both ours to
handle.
The staging name was fixed. os.Rename replaces its target, so a single leftover
".old" that could not be deleted — a scanner holding it open is the usual
reason, and the pre-existing os.Remove was best-effort and ignored — made every
later update fail with that error, permanently, recoverable only by deleting the
file by hand. Staging now uses a unique ".old-<nanos>", which no leftover can
block, and the startup cleanup sweeps the pattern instead of one name.
Renaming a running image is legal on Windows, but some endpoint protection
(Bitdefender's ransomware remediation among them) blocks it outright, and no
retry gets past that. So the swap is deferred: the new build is parked beside
the old one and a detached helper moves it into place after this process exits,
when the file is no longer a running image. It keeps trying for ten seconds,
since a scanner tends to let go a beat after the process dies.
A short retry stays in front of both, for the ordinary case of a scanner holding
the file it has just watched being written.
If even the deferred move fails, OpsLog restarts on the CURRENT version rather
than leaving the operator with nothing — someone mid-QSO losing their logger is
worse than an update that waits — and only a successful swap passes
--post-update, so the download survives for the next attempt instead of being
swept by the cleanup.
Both band maps were pinned to a hardcoded width — 300px docked beside the
tables, 260px per card in the Band map tab. On a busy band the map could not be
given more room, and on a quiet one the log could not take it back.
The docked map becomes a resizable grid column with the grip in the gap between
the panes, so the handle costs no space; the tab cards share one width with the
grip on their right edge. Side-by-side columns of different widths read as a
mistake rather than a choice, which is why the tab has one width and not one
per card. Double-click either grip to return to the default.
The drag measures from the pointer's START position rather than the container,
so the same helper serves both edges — the docked map sits on the left or the
right depending on the operator's setting, and the grip is on its inner edge
either way. Pointer capture, like the main splitter: without it the map or the
grid under the cursor swallows the moves.
Both widths are persisted through writeUiPref and registered as portable, so
they travel with the data folder like the main splitter and the rest of the
layout.
The seven existing themes are warm beige, cool grey, sage grey, slate, warm
dark, graphite and black — every one neutral, six of the seven accented orange.
Picking a theme changed the shade of grey and little else.
These colour the SURFACES, not just the accent, and each takes a different
primary so the picker tells them apart at a glance: violet on deep indigo, cyan
on deep teal, magenta on aubergine, indigo on a crisp cool white.
The semantic colours stay recognisable as themselves. A logger is read for
hours and "red means a problem" cannot become a decorative choice, so the hue
budget went on the surfaces and the primary. Where a theme's primary would have
collided with a meaning, the MEANING kept its identity and the ornament moved:
Ocean's info is blue rather than cyan, Plum's danger is red rather than rose,
and the matrix entity ramp shifts to cyan under Indigo and teal under Nordic so
a "confirmed" cell never reads as a button.
Everything else follows for free: the grids resolve var(--…) at runtime, so
they re-skin with no re-render. The three shared registrations that do NOT
follow automatically are done — the chart palette (light vs dark ramp) and the
date-picker icon inversion, which is keyed on an explicit list of dark themes.
Prefix exists so a field holding a bare value counts for an award whose codes
carry a letter: a French operator writes "74" in STATE, DDFM's codes are "D74".
Def's own doc says exactly that. But searchOne applied the prefix AFTER looking
the token up in the reference list — after the step that had just failed — so
the bare form matched nothing and the prefix decorated an empty result. The only
way through was a regex, in a mode where the operator had chosen "code" and
explicitly not "pattern".
The token lookup now tries the prefixed form when the bare one is not a known
reference. The list stays the authority: an unknown number still matches
nothing, so the prefix completes references rather than inventing them.
Second bug in the same pass: the blanket prefix also hit codes that came
straight OUT of the list, so a field already holding "D74" produced "DD74" as
soon as a prefix was configured — for both the token lookup and the
description matcher. Branches that yield whole codes are now excluded from it;
the ones that yield a raw capture (regex, whole-field split) still get it.
A forwarder (W&P, seen in the field in front of MSHV) prepends the origin as
plain text before re-broadcasting:
"127.0.0.1:2237|" + <the original, untouched WSJT-X packet>
That puts the magic 15 bytes in, so every datagram failed on "bad magic
0x3132372e" — those four bytes being ASCII "127." — and an operator running
MSHV behind the relay saw no decodes, no callsigns and no auto-logged QSOs.
No new service type: what follows the header IS a WSJT-X packet, so the parser
and everything downstream apply unchanged, and a separate type would duplicate
decode, status and logged-ADIF handling to strip 15 bytes. ParseWSJT skips the
header instead, which also covers any other relay that wraps traffic this way.
The match is deliberately narrow — the magic must fall within the first 64
bytes AND every byte before it must be printable ASCII. A corrupt or truncated
packet that merely contains those four bytes somewhere is not resurrected into
a QSO; it fails exactly as it did before.
Test data is the real captured datagram, header included.
"WSJT parse error: bad magic 0x3132372e" named neither the sender nor the
payload, so there was nothing to act on — even though those four bytes are
ASCII "127.", i.e. some program broadcasting an address on a port expecting
WSJT-X binary.
The line now carries the remote address, the size, a printable preview and a
hex dump of the first 96 bytes. Text senders are readable at a glance; a
genuinely binary payload still shows its bytes.
And it stops after five. The reported case wrote that line about 150 times a
second: a permanently misconfigured port would fill the 10 MB rotating log with
one repeated sentence and bury every other piece of evidence — the log's whole
purpose. The fifth line names the two things worth checking, the sender and the
service type.
N1MM's parse error goes through the same path; it had no packet detail either.
The award editor offered five confirmation sources and Def's own doc comment
named five, but confirmed() had cases for three. "qrzcom" and "custom" fell
through the switch, so ticking either marked nothing as confirmed — the exact
failure the GrantCodes comment in this struct warns about: a checkbox that does
nothing is worse than no checkbox, because it is trusted.
QRZ.com reads qrzcom_qso_download_status, not the upload one: uploading a QSO
is us telling QRZ about it, which confirms nothing.
Custom names a field. Rather than a checkbox per external source, the Def gains
ConfirmField + ConfirmValue: any QSO field or ADIF extras key, and optionally
the comma-separated values that count. That one shape covers the three cases
asked for — the OpsLog card marker (APP_OPSLOG_QSL_RCVD), an arbitrary ADIF
tag, and a tag stamped by an imported club list — because all three end up as a
field on the QSO.
An empty ConfirmValue means any non-empty content confirms: the OpsLog marker
stores the date the card arrived, not a Y/N flag. A custom source naming NO
field confirms nothing, deliberately — the opposite default would silently mark
a whole logbook confirmed.
Windows parks a minimised window at -32000,-32000 with a stub size and reports
it as not-maximised, so closing OpsLog from the taskbar while minimised stored
exactly that. Seen in a log: "window: saving -32000,-32000 237x39
maximised=false".
The restore side already rejects both the impossible corner and the
below-minimum size, so nothing opened off-screen — but it fell back to the
default placement, and the operator silently lost the size, the position and the
maximised state they had set.
saveWindowState now keeps what was already stored when the window is minimised.
Two tests for that: the Wails flag, and the -32000 corner, because a window that
is mid-close can sit at that corner with the flag already cleared. A poisoned
window.json repairs itself on the next close of an on-screen window.
The stamp answers "PSE QSL", so it reads as its counterpart or not at all: a
bare "TNX" next to a QSL message says thanks for something unnamed.
Changed at the source of the {qso.pse_tnx} token, so every card picks it up
with no template edit. The live indicator in the QSO editor and the hint beside
it follow.
The previous commit added its row to the status table but left the picker
listing only the column-backed channels, so the one channel you could actually
tick was the one you could not select.
Selecting it swaps the left panel for an OpsLog editor instead of the generic
sent/received/date grid, which has no fields to bind to here: Sent is shown
read-only (OpsLog stamps it when the card goes out), Received is the tick, and
the PSE QSL / TNX indicator sits next to them since that stamp is what the flag
is for.
The OpsLog QSL marker sat under QSL Msg in "Contact's details", nowhere near
the channel it belongs to, while the QSL Info tab listed every other
confirmation — QSL, LoTW, eQSL, QRZ.com, Club Log, HRDLog — with a Sent and a
Received column.
It now has its own row in that table and the "QSL received" tick moved to the
same tab, keeping the PSE QSL / TNX indicator that is the reason the flag
exists at all: received prints TNX on the card, otherwise PSE QSL.
Written by hand rather than added to CONFIRMATIONS: that table maps QSO
columns, and this channel is backed by ADIF extras (APP_OPSLOG_QSL_RCVD, plus
the older APP_OPSLOG_QSL_CARD_SENT for the sent side). Sent stays read-only —
OpsLog stamps it when a card actually goes out, and a hand tick would record
something that never happened.
Typing RK3DWA found nothing while RK3DWA/3 found 21 QSOs, so a station's
history was only visible if you happened to type the exact form it had been
logged under — and an operator who worked it as /0, /P or /MM saw none of it.
The other RDA tools and Log4OM fold these together; this does too.
The predicate strips the suffix from what was typed and matches "call = base OR
call LIKE base/%", so it works from either end: the base call finds the portable
QSOs and a portable call finds the plain ones. Deliberately not a bare prefix
LIKE 'RK3DWA%', which would also match RK3DWAB — a different station. The '/' is
what makes it the same operator.
Settings -> General to turn it off. Default ON, hence the inverted storage: an
existing install has no key, and reading that as OFF would leave everyone with
the behaviour we were asked to change.
Contest dupe checking is untouched — it runs through ContestDupe, a separate
binding, and stays an exact match as a contest requires.
Settings -> DX Cluster: a toggle and an interval. When it is on, logging a QSO
announces the station on the master cluster — the QSO's own station callsign as
the DX, on the frequency the contact was made on — so callers find the run
without waiting for someone else to spot it. The node fills the DE field from
the login, so the spotter is us too: a self-spot.
It fires on the FIRST QSO of a frequency and then at most once per interval.
Both halves matter: announcing every QSO would flood the node and get the
station filtered out, while a pure timer would stay silent for minutes after a
band change. A drift of up to 500 Hz still counts as the same run, so nudging
the VFO mid-pileup does not re-announce.
Five minutes is the floor, clamped in SaveSelfSpotSettings as well as in the
input: the limit protects the node from us, so it must not depend on the
frontend. The interval input keeps raw text and clamps on blur — clamping per
keystroke rewrote "10" to "5" as soon as the "1" landed.
Wired into both log paths (manual entry and UDP auto-log) on the async side, so
a cluster that is slow or down never holds up logging. A send failure restores
the previous throttle state, so the next QSO retries instead of sitting out an
interval that produced no spot.
The Kenwood/Elecraft backend deliberately suspends its wire poll while PTT is
held — a K3 answers "?;" to IF; during transmit, and treating that as a fault
used to drop the whole CAT link. The consequence was that nothing watched the
transmitter: a client that crashed, was closed, or simply had its socket shut
under it left the rig on air.
And shutting the socket is routine. reloadCATShare tears the sharing server
down and rebuilds it on every settings save, so a Save while WSJT-X held PTT
was enough. A K3 operator's log shows exactly that: "TX;" at 17:53:09, no "RX;"
ever, the poll silent, and the rig still keyed 29 s later when the CAT link
happened to be rebuilt.
The server now drops PTT when a connection ends and when Stop() is called.
Stop() runs before reloadCAT restarts the backend, so the unkey still reaches
the radio. An atomic Swap keeps it once-only across the two paths.
MD6 is FSK on a Kenwood and DATA on a K3/K4. kenwoodModeToADIF decoded the
digit unconditionally as RTTY, so OpsLog contradicted the mode it had just
set: SetMode writes MD6 for a digital mode on an Elecraft, then ReadState
parsed the IF frame back as RTTY.
A K3 running FT8 therefore showed RTTY in the status bar, logged its QSOs on
RTTY, and — through the shared CAT server — told WSJT-X/JTDX the rig sat in
RTTY while they had just asked for a data mode. Found in a K3 operator's log:
every cat:state line read mode=RTTY on 21.074 FT8, two lines after OpsLog's
own "MD6;".
The digit now resolves to the configured digital mode whenever MD6 means DATA
on this rig — the Elecraft backend, and the "DATA A - MD6" data-mode option
that exists for it. A plain Kenwood still reads MD6 as RTTY.
One station reaches the log SHOUTED by QRZ, lower-cased by a hurried
operator and in whatever case an imported ADIF carried, so the same name
appears three ways across a log. Name and QTH are now title-cased word by
word; Comment and Note only get a capital first letter, because the rest
routinely holds callsigns and modes ("TNX QSO F5ABC, FT8 59") that
lower-casing would destroy.
Normalised on blur, never per keystroke — rewriting the value mid-word
fights the typist (the controlled-input trap in CLAUDE.md). Applied in
both entry layouts and in the QSO editor, since leaving the editor alone
would just reintroduce the mess on the first correction.
The Recent QSOs box only ever searches callsigns, so it upper-cases as
you type and carries an inline clear button.
Award columns were filtered out of the persisted column state entirely,
so applyColumnState({applyOrder:true}) had nowhere to put them and AG
Grid appended what the state does not mention. A column the operator
dragged to sit AFTER an award column therefore jumped back in front of
it on every reload.
Only the `hide` property is dropped now. Visibility stays owned by the
awardShown code-set — that is what stopped shown award columns from
vanishing on an awardCols rebuild — while the position survives the
round-trip.
The Settings -> Database panel had lost every action on the settings
database except "Open folder", which launches Windows Explorer — where a
.db cannot be selected at all, so double-clicking it only asks which
program should open it. The handlers were still there, just no longer
rendered; New / Open existing / Save a copy / Rename / Reset are back,
along with the restart banner (the DB pointer is only read at startup).
The backup block put the rotation field and three checkboxes on one flex
row inside max-w-xl. That fitted until "keep every backup" arrived with
its two-line hint, after which every label wrapped into an unreadable
sliver. The options are stacked now, and keep-all sits under the option
it depends on.
Stale since the 0.23.9 work: SetOpsLogQSLReceived, the backup keep_all
flag, the award PRIMARY search prefix and the default QSL message were
all missing from the generated bindings.
The Elecraft handling was buried in the Kenwood "data mode" option, so users
couldn't find it. Add "Elecraft K3/K4" as its own entry in the CAT backend
selector. It reuses the Kenwood-dialect transport and the Kenwood USB/network
settings (the K3 emulates the Kenwood command set — a separate transport would be
a near-total duplicate), with an `elecraft` flag on the client that forces
digital modes to DATA A (MD6+DT0) — no data-mode dropdown needed. RigState still
reports Backend "kenwood" so the CW-over-CAT keyer capability keeps working.
Integrates the fix/jtdx-kenwood-tx work onto main: the Kenwood/Elecraft backend's
"data" data-mode path now sends MD6 then DT0 so a K3/K4 lands in DATA A — the
audio sub-mode FT8 uses. MD6 alone could leave the rig in an FSK/PSK sub-mode
where it keyed but the rear sound-card audio never modulated ("transmits but
nothing comes out"). The data-mode option is relabelled "DATA A — MD6+DT0
(Elecraft K3/K4)". A shared Kenwood/Elecraft backend is kept (the K3 emulates the
Kenwood dialect); the Elecraft specifics live behind the data-mode seam rather
than a 7000-line duplicate backend.
Only OrRule had a Prefix ("prepended to each found reference", e.g. postal 74 →
D74); the primary search passed "" for prefix, so an award whose references are
D01/D02… couldn't prepend the D on its main rule — only on OR fallbacks. Add
Def.Prefix, pass it into the primary run(), and expose a Prefix input next to the
primary Leading/Trailing fields in the award editor.
Sub-option of "back up on every exit": when on, backup.Run/RunADIF stamp the
filename with the time (opslog-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS.db) so each run is a distinct
file instead of overwriting the day's snapshot. Rotation still trims to the
newest N (raise Rotation for a longer history). Threaded as a `unique` flag
through runConfiguredBackup/backupLogADIF from BackupSettings.KeepAll
(keyBackupKeepAll); UI sub-checkbox shown only when EveryExit is on.
autoLogFromUDP (the inbound WSJT-X/JTDX/MSHV log path) inserted the QSO but,
unlike the manual LogQSO path, never called a.udp.EmitLoggedADIF — so a QSO
received from MSHV was not re-emitted to the outbound ADIF listeners (Log4OM,
N1MM, GridTracker…). Emit it in the same async goroutine. A pathological
self-loop is broken by the existing ±2-min dedup, which returns before the emit.
Received flag: new APP_OPSLOG_QSL_RCVD extra, toggled on the QSO edit window
next to QSL Message (immediate targeted write via SetOpsLogQSLReceived so it sets
AND clears reliably), plus a live PSE QSL / TNX indicator and a Recent-QSOs
column mirroring the sent one.
PSE/TNX card stamp: automatic — received → TNX, otherwise PSE QSL — exposed as
the {qso.pse_tnx} token (added to qslVars, so preview and send agree) and placed
in the default QSO-box footer; it can be moved to its own element in the designer.
Default QSL message: new qsl.default_message (QSLEmailTemplates.DefaultMessage),
edited under Settings → E-mail → QSL card e-mail. qslVars falls back to it when
the QSO's own QSLMSG is empty, so a per-QSO message always wins. Single choke
point covers both live preview and send.
New BackupSettings.EveryExit (keyBackupEveryExit) with a Settings → Backup
checkbox. When on, the three shutdown-backup gates (plannedShutdownSteps,
runBackupForShutdown, maybeShutdownBackup) bypass the HasBackupToday /
HasADIFBackupToday "already done today" check and always run, so a second
session's QSOs are captured instead of skipped until the next day. The dated
backup file for today is refreshed (overwritten) each exit; prior days are still
kept by rotation.
spotStatus updates ~20x/second under an RBN firehose; firing a full refreshCells
on each was pure churn on a slow PC. Coalesce into one refresh per 200ms. Keeps
the NEW/WORKED badge colours and the 'represents nothing' dimming — the dimming
itself is a trivial pure read now that the worked-index scan is cached, so it's
no longer a cost worth removing.
A user on a slow PC with RBN saw OpsLog at 94% CPU and 8.5 GB RAM (Logger32: 3%
/ 34 MB on the same feeds). Two runaway costs under the spot firehose:
- ClusterSpotStatuses re-scanned the ENTIRE logbook (5-6 full-table maps) on
every 50 ms spot batch — ~20×/second — its "one scan regardless of batch" doc
was untrue. On a big log that's millions of row-scans/second → the pegged CPU.
Now cached in clusterStatusCache (an immutable snapshot), rebuilt only when the
logbook changes (noteWorked on a single log, invalidateAwardStats on bulk), so
it's one scan per logged QSO instead of per batch.
- The frontend spotStatus map had no cap: one entry per call|band|mode ever seen,
and RBN produces thousands of unique calls/hour → unbounded growth to GBs, plus
a full {...prev} copy 20×/second. Now pruned back to the live (SPOTS_CAP=1000)
spots once it drifts past 2×, with a cheap same-reference bail-out otherwise.
Since the logbook was split into its own SQLite file, backup.Run was still
snapshotting a.db (the settings/config database) — so the scheduled and manual
backups silently stopped including the QSOs. The operator was backing up config
and thinking it was their log.
Track the resolved logbook file path (a.logDbPath, set in connectLogbook) and
route the backup through a new runConfiguredBackup: the CONTACTS become the
primary "opslog-*" backup (the logbook file on SQLite, an ADIF export on MySQL),
and the settings/config db is snapshotted separately as "opslogcfg-*" so nothing
is lost. backup.Run takes a name prefix; the two sets rotate independently.
The recording e-mail's subject and body round-tripped through EmailSettings and
the backend (keyEmailSubject/keyEmailBody) but had no UI editor — only the QSL
card e-mail did, so the recording mail was stuck on the default text. Add the
same subject/body editor to the E-mail panel, above the QSL block, sharing the
{CALL}/{DATE}/{BAND}/{MODE}/{MYCALL} template variables.
A K3 (and other Kenwood-dialect rigs) answers "?;" to an IF; status poll while
it is transmitting. ask() latched that as "IF unsupported" and ReadState
returned an error, so the Manager dropped the whole CAT link mid-transmit — the
log shows connected=false / "IF rejected" the instant JTDX sent TX;. That tore
down the shared rigctld CAT the digital-mode software keys through.
Two fixes: (1) track PTT (SetPTT) and skip the wire poll while it's held —
ReadState hands back the cached last state, capped at 30 s so a missed
SetPTT(false) can't freeze it; (2) never latch IF/ID as unsupported — those are
universal on Kenwood/Elecraft, so a "?;" to them is a transient busy (mid-TX),
not a missing command.
The Row helper was defined inside AwardsSelectionPanel, so each render minted a
new component type and React remounted the whole list on every click — flicker,
and clicks lost between mousedown and click (hence needing many tries). Inline
the row markup so the keyed buttons keep a stable identity.
New per-profile "tracked awards" selection: Settings → Awards (under User
configuration) is a two-column transfer list — every defined award on the left,
the ones you follow on the right, click to move either way. The Awards tab's
list is narrowed to the followed set; an empty set means "show them all" so the
tab is never blank.
Backend: app_awards_tracked.go adds keyAwardsTracked (per-profile JSON array of
award codes) with GetTrackedAwards/SaveTrackedAwards; saving emits
awards:tracked-changed so the Awards tab re-filters live. Award definitions stay
global — only the follow selection is per profile.
The follow filter correctly leaves the antenna put on an un-ticked band, but the
TX-inhibit loop ran independently: it gagged FlexRadio transmit whenever the
antenna reported "moving" (a stray polled Moving flag, or a move finishing from
the previous band), even on a band OpsLog was deliberately not managing. An
operator working 15 m on another antenna had their FT8 cut mid-transmission by
an "antenna moving" interlock.
motorTXInhibitLoop now takes the covered-band set and forces moving=false when
the current rig band isn't in it — un-ticking a band means hands off entirely:
no tune AND no inhibit. Also correct the RCU-01 references to RCU-06 (the actual
controller behind the short 11-byte status frame).
A contiguous FreqMin/FreqMax range can't drop a single band while keeping its
neighbours — so it couldn't express "40 m and 20 m yes, 30 m no" for an antenna
whose 30 m extension isn't fitted. Replace it with a Covered bands selector
(40 m–6 m) that applies to both the Ultrabeam and the SteppIR.
The follow loop and immediate re-tune now gate on band membership
(motorBandAllowed) instead of a MHz range: only bands in the operator's set are
followed, and 80 m/160 m are never followed (outside a beam's reach) regardless.
The legacy FreqMin/FreqMax is migrated to a band set on load and still
round-trips, so existing configs are unchanged. UI swaps the two number inputs
for a row of toggle chips.
The follow logic skips out-of-range frequencies only when it knows BOTH edges
of the antenna's range. The Ultrabeam path took those edges from the
controller's status frame, but an RCU-01 behind an RS232-to-Ethernet bridge
answers with the short frame that omits FreqMax → the guard saw FreqMax==0 and
disabled itself → OpsLog forwarded every rig frequency, so 80 m (un-tunable)
reached the controller, which clamped the elements down to its lowest band
(~30 m).
ubAdapter now carries the operator-configured FreqMin/FreqMax from Settings →
Antenna (like steppirAdapter already did) and uses them as a hard floor/ceiling,
falling back to the controller-reported bound only when one is left unset. This
guarantees both bounds are present so the guard actually engages. The Tunable
range editor in the Antenna panel, previously SteppIR-only, is now shown for the
Ultrabeam too, with a generic bilingual hint.
New internal/rotator/dcu1 client speaking the DCU-1 command set (AP1nnn / AM1
to go-to, AI1 to read bearing), over a serial COM port (4800 baud default) or a
raw TCP serial-over-IP bridge. Azimuth-only; Stop re-commands the current
bearing since the base set has no stop opcode.
Wired through app.go (normRotorType, default port 4001, GoTo/Heading/Stop/test
switches, park returns the same "PstRotator only" note as ARCO) and exposed in
the rotor settings as "Hy-Gain DCU-1 (RotorCard DXA, Rotor-EZ, Green Heron)"
with the ARCO's serial/TCP transport chooser and a bilingual hint. Protocol is
implemented from the standard DCU-1 spec and still needs field confirmation
against a real RotorCard DXA.
The pop-up listing the QSOs behind a Stats band/mode square gets a cleaner header
(band chip, hint), banded/hover rows and roomier spacing. Callsigns are now
clickable and open the QSO editor (App.openEdit threaded through DetailsPanel →
BandSlotGrid → SlotQSOModal as onEditQso), matching the double-click-to-edit of
the log grids.
Network relay boards (WebSwitch/KMTronic/Dingtian) were always reached at
http://<host>, so a board on the LAN behind a reverse proxy — the common remote
setup where the operator's 80/443 already go to Nginx Proxy Manager — couldn't be
reached from outside. relayBase() now keeps a scheme the operator supplies
(https://relay.example.com, optional sub-path) and only defaults to http:// for a
bare host/host:port. UI hint + test added.
setSpotStatus({}) blanked EVERY spot's status, so logging one contact wiped all
the other NEW/NEW-BAND badges and they popped back a moment later. Instead,
re-fetch the shown spots and OVERWRITE each status in place (merge) — the just-
worked spot updates while the rest stay put, no flicker. Same visibility gate
and 2 s debounce; backend cost is one status batch (one logbook scan) as before.
A just-worked call/entity/POTA/prefix/slot kept its NEW badge because per-spot
status is cached and never expires. Drop the cache on qso:logged so the grid
re-evaluates. Kept cheap for old machines / big logbooks: only fires while the
cluster is on screen (a log while hidden marks it dirty and refreshes once on
next open), and debounced 2 s so a fast run coalesces instead of re-scanning the
logbook per QSO.
The "dim spots that represent nothing" feature drove the dimming with getRowStyle
and called api.redrawRows() on EVERY spotStatus update to re-apply it — a full
grid re-render on a firehose of status updates, which pegged the CPU on a busy
cluster (reported as PCs slowing down since 0.23.6). Move the dimming to a
defaultColDef cellClassRules ('opacity-40') that the existing light
refreshCells({force:true}) re-applies; drop redrawRows and getRowStyle.
Confirmed live: "setup fanmode=CONTEST" is accepted (reply code 0) while the
bare "fanmode=CONTEST" we switched to earlier is rejected (0x50000015), so the
fan mode snapped back and never changed on the amp. Restored the "setup " verb
and now check the reply code, returning an error if the amp rejects the set.
The Ctrl+↑/↓ keyboard-nav useEffect sat AFTER `if (!range) return`, so on a band
with no range — e.g. a spurious 33 cm frequency briefly reported by an Icom over
CAT — the component returned before that hook and the hook count changed between
renders, crashing the whole window with React #300. Moved the effect above the
early return; lo/hi already fall back to [0,1] when there's no range.
An older controller behind an RS232-to-Ethernet bridge returns the status frame
without its trailing FreqMax byte (11 bytes, not 12). The packet checksum is
still valid, so it's a real short frame, not a fragment. queryStatus now accepts
>= 10 bytes and defaults the missing FreqMin/FreqMax rather than rejecting it as
"too short", which reconnect-looped the link. Whether the byte LAYOUT is
otherwise identical across controller versions still needs confirming from the
protocol reference.
A spot whose entity/band/mode is already worked, whose callsign isn't in the log,
and that carries no POTA/county/prefix novelty is dimmed (whole row, opacity) so
the eye skips it. "Nothing" follows the status, which already obeys the "same
slot" option and digital grouping. getRowStyle drives it; the spot-status effect
now redrawRows so the dimming re-applies when a status lands.
The WORKED filter also matched the entity status 'worked' (entity/band/mode
already worked, shown as a plain "—"), so selecting WORKED still listed spots of
calls never worked. Match the 'worked' key only via worked_call (the blue
WKD-CALL flag); a worked call still shows under NEW BAND / NEW SLOT.
The filter logic already matched worked_call spots against a 'worked' key; add
the chip to the status row so worked spots can be shown or isolated, not only
dropped via the "Hide worked" checkbox.
New DX Cluster setting (Settings → DX Cluster). Off (today's behaviour) a call
worked anywhere reads as already worked; on, the WORKED-call flag needs the same
band AND mode. It folds through the digital-mode grouping (Settings → General):
grouped, a 20m FT8 contact also marks a 20m FT4 spot worked; ungrouped they are
separate slots. Backend: qso.WorkedCallSlotKeys builds CALL|band and
CALL|band|mode(grouped) keys; ClusterSpotStatuses uses them when the option is on
(a spot with no inferable mode falls back to same-band).
Five operator-requested items:
- Alt+W clears the QSO entry. Handled before the `typing` guard and above
the keyer's key routing, so there is always one key that clears whatever
else is running — Esc is not that key when the CW keyer reserves it.
- The Grid box no longer pops outside the entry panel on a narrow window.
Row 2 needed 300+130+76+gaps = 538 px inside a panel whose min-width is
520, so Grid was pushed out and clipped at every narrow width, not just
extreme ones. QTH's min-width drops to 80 and the row wraps rather than
overflowing if it ever still can't fit.
- Selecting a QSO in the log now drives the Stats (F1) matrix. Uses its own
WorkedBefore call into separate state, NOT runWorkedBefore: that one owns
the entry form's wbRef and can trigger a field backfill, which browsing
the log must never do. The entry form wins whenever it holds a call.
- Clicking a coloured band/mode square lists the contacts behind it. Returns
the exact callsign AND the rest of the entity, because that pair is what
the cell's colour encodes; the call's own QSOs are bolded. The DXCC arm
matches the stored dxcc column only — reconstructing it from the callsign
here would disagree with the matrix above, which is built from that column.
- The Awards DXCC list shows each entity's primary prefix in its own sortable
column. Derived live from cty.dat into Ref.Group rather than stored on the
reference row, so an existing installation needs no re-seed.
Switching an SPE amp off left the already-open connection reading as connected
(the amp stops answering once off, but the stale open handle kept the status at
"connected"), so the panel never showed OFF and PowerOn — which only wakes a
DISCONNECTED amp, and must NOT pulse RTS/DTR on a running one — did nothing
until the operator restarted OpsLog. PowerOff now drops the connection and marks
the amp offline, exactly as a fresh start would; the poll's plain reopen never
wakes a switched-off amp, so it stays off until the ON button's RTS/DTR edge.
Two ways a bogus contact could be logged:
- Enter in the TX/RX frequency field bubbled to the entry container's
onKeyDown, which calls save() on Enter-in-an-input. Typing a frequency and
pressing Enter tuned the rig AND logged the QSO. The freq fields now
stopPropagation so Enter only tunes.
- WSJT-X/JTDX broadcasts its DX-call field over UDP; when it holds a bare
number ("1"), applyUdpCall dropped it into the callsign, and the next Enter
logged a QSO with callsign "1". Reject any DX call with no letter.
Removed the long explanatory hints under the Kenwood COM/baud/host, data-mode,
CAT-trace and PTT-hotkey fields; shortened the CAT-sharing hint to just the
client setup line; and replaced the DTR/RTS hint with a one-liner. Less clutter
in the CAT settings.
JTDX polls get_ptt DURING transmit to confirm the rig is keyed (WSJT-X does not,
which is why it worked and JTDX cut after ~2 s). We answered a blanket "0" (RX),
so JTDX concluded PTT had failed and dropped the over. get_ptt now echoes the
last PTT state commanded via set_ptt — always consistent with the client's own
command. Trace showed T 1 → three t→"0" polls → T 0.
The optimistic get_freq echo added in 0.23.5 (to stop the "Fake It" dial creep)
stopped JTDX/WSJT-X from going into transmit: the client reads frequency back
during its TX sequence, and echoing the commanded value instead of the rig's
live value interfered with it. No-TX is far worse than a 0.5 kHz drift, so revert
to reporting the rig's live frequency. get_freq/get_split_freq return s.rig.Freq()
again; the echo state, noteSetFreq, reportedFreq and the drift test are removed.
The antenna does NOT echo our sequence number — its replies carry their own
counter — so the previous seq-matching drained every reply and stalled status
updates. Revert to reading one reply per command, but flush any bytes left in
the stream before each command (drainStale): a reply left by a timed-out command
is discarded so the next read stays 1:1. readPacket also resyncs to the next STX.
This fixes the intermittent disconnects, phantom frequency jumps and wrong
element-length readings without depending on the seq.
Also: report motion for a short window right after a commanded move, so the
"moving" indicator and the Flex TX-inhibit fire the instant a band/pattern is
clicked instead of a poll (~2 s) later; the real motor state takes over once
polled.
1 MB (~6500 lines) fetched, split and re-rendered every second made the window
lag. 512 KB (~3200 lines) keeps a useful backlog — double the original 256 KB —
while staying responsive.
sendCommand discarded the reply's sequence number and accepted whatever frame
came back. On a slow remote link a command that timed out left its late reply in
the stream, and the NEXT command read it as its own — crossing STATUS with
READ_BANDS/PROGRESS. That surfaced as phantom frequency jumps (a spurious
follow-loop re-tune), intermittent "reply too short" disconnects, and wrong
element-length readings (READ_BANDS getting the status frame).
Now every reply is matched to its request seq and stale/malformed frames are
drained (bounded), with readPacket resyncing to the next STX. Tested with a
net.Pipe that injects a stale reply ahead of the real one.
The viewer fetched only the last 256 KB (~1600 lines) of opslog.log. During a
busy trace the oldest lines scrolled out of the window while the operator was
still reading them. Raise the tail to 1 MB (~6500 lines); the backend already
allows up to 4 MB.
Checking every profile made a denied call unrecoverable — the process quits
before the operator can change it, and no profile switch could get back in.
Gating on the active profile alone keeps "--profile <other>" as a way back in,
and still turns away a denied operator whose active call is the blocked one.
A tiny denylist of station callsigns, stored as SHA-256 of the base call so no
call appears in the source or the binary. Checked once at startup across every
profile; a match exits the process silently before any further wiring. Not in
the changelog.
A digital app (JTDX/WSJT-X) sharing OpsLog's rig in "Fake It" split follows
the dial by polling get_freq. Freq() is the last polled value and lags a
set_freq by a poll cycle, so right after a transmission the client read the
still-shifted frequency, mistook it for a manual QSY and adopted it — the dial
crept down every over and never came back. get_freq now echoes the last
commanded frequency until the rig confirms it (or a short deadline passes),
closing the race. Backend-agnostic, so it fixes every rig, not just Kenwood.
QRZ hands back the whole logbook; a confirmation download only acts on the
QSOs QRZ marks confirmed. The old "(of 7950 returned)" read as if QRZ had
returned only a fraction of a 26k-QSO logbook. Now it states "N of M are
confirmed — the rest aren't confirmed yet", so nothing looks lost.
The LoTW/QRZ confirmation download ran on the app-lifetime context, so it
kept going after the QSL Manager was closed and a new download didn't stop the
previous one. A slow QRZ sync therefore bled its "flag cleared" log into a
freshly started LoTW download — the operator saw QRZ activity during a LoTW
run. Now each download gets a cancellable context: starting one cancels the
previous, closing the window cancels it (CancelConfirmations), and the parse
loops bail promptly on cancel. (A LoTW http 503 is separate — ARRL's server.)
Changing Normal/180/bi over a remote connection reverted to the old pattern
after ~4s: the fixed 4s optimistic window expired while the motors were still
flipping the elements, and the lagging remote status poll then overrode the UI.
Hold the commanded direction while the motors are moving, then a short grace
window after they stop for the confirmation poll to land (SteppIR already used
a generous 45s hold, which is why only Ultrabeam-remote hit this).
The keyer panel synthesised a "connected" status for the icom/flex/yaesu
rig engines but not kenwood, so the Kenwood/Elecraft engine fell back to the
(disconnected) WinKeyer hardware status and always showed "not connected"
even though its CAT link was up.
No single Kenwood mode digit fits every rig for a data mode: a K3/K4 wants
DATA (MD6), a TS-590SG/TS-990S data mode is a USB modifier set on the rig,
and MD6 on a plain Kenwood is FSK/RTTY. So the operator now chooses in
Settings → CAT: USB (default), DATA (MD6), or leave the rig's mode unchanged.
Only soundcard/data modes (FT8, PSK, JT…) follow this; RTTY/FSK stays its own
native mode, and voice/CW are untouched (isKenwoodDataMode + test).
The frontend engine loader had no "kenwood" case, so a saved engine of
"kenwood" fell through to the WinKeyer default — the Kenwood/Elecraft
CW-over-CAT engine never ran even though the setting showed it selected.
Also clarify the Kenwood data-mode comment: there is no single mode digit
right for both a K3 (DATA=MD6) and a TS-590SG (MD6=FSK), so data stays on
USB as the safe common base; a rig-specific DATA mode is a follow-up.
- PGXL: remote AUTH password; direct-link meter fallback (VITA-first) with
250 ms poll + peak-hold; fan mode uses bare "fanmode=" (was ignored).
- TCI: spot colour sent as decimal ARGB (ExpertSDR dropped the hex string);
spot click handled via CLICKED_ON_SPOT / RX_CLICKED_ON_SPOT to fill the entry.
- FlexRadio: clicking an OpsLog spot on the panadapter now applies the mode too.
- Filter presets: the trash icon deletes again (Radix pointer-down intercept).
- PTT hotkey: keys over CAT when a backend is active (was hijacked by a stale
Audio-tab RTS/DTR serial setting); AltGr keys allowed; presses logged.
- CW macro <LOGQSO>: logs after the preceding CW is sent, not on the first letter.
Settings -> Rotator is now a list like the amplifiers: add/remove rotors,
mix PstRotator / Rotator Genius / ARCO, and a Rotator Genius can drive both
its ports (one entry = two rotors). The compass gains a rotor selector, and
a per-rotor motorized-antenna flag so the boom/pattern paths show only for
the rotor carrying the Ultrabeam/SteppIR.
Also in this batch: a keyboard PTT hotkey (hold-to-talk or toggle, reusing
the audio PTT method with a CAT fallback), and TCI spot push to the
panadapter with click-to-fill of the callsign.
The 0.22.7/0.22.8 breakage came from a Xiegu-reported fault being fixed
inside the Yaesu and Kenwood backends. The lesson is structural: nothing
a backend does may be steered by another backend's report or another
backend's setting.
The lower-lines checkbox introduced for 0.22.9 was still one shared key
applied to both Yaesu and Kenwood — the same reflex in miniature. It is
now cat.yaesu.low_dtr_rts and cat.kenwood.low_dtr_rts, each checkbox in
its backend's own settings block, each wired only to its backend. The
shared key never shipped, so nothing needs migrating.
The rig-panel sliders take a non-passive wheel listener and acted on
hover, so scrolling the panel fed the gesture to whichever control sat
under the cursor — RF power included, mid-QSO. An operator scrolling to
read the bottom of the panel could change his transmit power without
touching anything.
They now require focus, i.e. a deliberate click on that slider first.
Without it the event is left alone and the panel scrolls, which is what
the operator meant. Same fix on the Flex and Yaesu panels, which share
the pattern.
This is a fault in its own right. It is NOT an explanation for the
"transmit power moves since 0.22.8" report: that release changed nothing
in the Icom path, and this behaviour is older than it.
Both defaults break someone. 0.22.7 lowered the lines on Yaesu and
Kenwood and silenced a TS-990 whose interface needs RTS raised to
transmit; 0.22.8 stopped lowering them and an FT8 station reported its
output power wandering, cured by closing OpsLog — Windows raises both on
open and the interface reads one as PTT.
So it is now a checkbox on those two backends, off by default: that is
how they behaved before any of this. Xiegu keeps lowering them
unconditionally (its own report, its own explicit keying setting), and
the CI-V backend keeps the behaviour it has always had.
Selecting CW showed FT8 and SSB contacts. The filter ran client-side over
the reference list and nothing else, so a reference kept because it had
one CW contact still displayed the band cells it earned on SSB, still
counted its SSB confirmations, and opening it listed every contact
regardless of mode.
The class now narrows the log BEFORE the engine runs, so the bands, the
totals and the confirmations all describe the selected mode, and
AwardCellQSOs takes the same class. The panel cache is keyed by
"CODE|MODECLASS" — one key per award showed the previous mode's numbers
after switching.
The snapshot is cached by log revision, so this costs a matching pass and
no database read.
