The station-control code rebuilt a fresh driver on every status poll and every
relay set. Stateful boards (Denkovi FTDI D2XX, USB-serial) hold an OS handle only
one opener can own, so the first poll opened the board and leaked the handle, and
every poll after failed with 'device in use' — the relays greyed out a second
after Save and auto-control never switched. Drivers are now cached per device and
reused, closed on config change. Adds a Test-connection button + detect feedback
in the device editor (reported by VK4MA).
Opening About now fires a fresh CheckForUpdate with a 'Checking…' state, and
clears the update banner when the latest check finds nothing — so it reflects
reality instead of the last periodic check.
Adds GetChangelog (all entries up to the running version, no seen-marker change)
and a Help menu 'What's new' item that reopens the changelog dialog on demand.
Embeds changelog.json (per-version EN + FR notes, curated from the release's
commits). GetWhatsNew compares the stored last-seen version with the running
build and returns the notes for every newer version, once, then advances the
marker. A dialog shows them in the UI language on the first launch after update.
Seeded with the 0.20.5 notes.
Day/Week/Month/Year now show the anchor day hour-by-hour, the last 7 days, the
last 30 days, and the last 12 months — anchored to the period end (else now), in
real date order. Replaces the cyclical hour-of-day/weekday/day-of-month/month
buckets, which left future days empty and ordered the weekend after Monday.
Backend adds cyclical distributions ByHour (hour-of-day), ByDOW (weekday), ByDOM
(day-of-month) and ByMonthYr (calendar month), all UTC. The Activity-over-time
card gains a selector: Timeline keeps the chronological month trend; Day/Week/
Month/Year show the hour/weekday/day/month distribution as bars.
Adds Stats.ByBandCategory (per band: CW/phone/data counts, band-plan order) via a
modeCategory() bucketing in stats.go, and a StackedBandBars chart in the Stats
panel showing the split per band with a legend.
Renames the Hardware section to Amplifier and adds an amplifier-type selector
(4O3A PowerGenius XL, SPE Expert 1.3K-FA / 1.5K-FA / 2K-FA) plus a transport
choice for the SPE amps: USB (serial COM + baud) or Network (RS232-to-Ethernet
IP:port). PGXLSettings gains Type/Transport/ComPort/Baud (keys keep the pgxl.*
prefix for back-compat). PowerGenius still drives over TCP; SPE settings are
stored but control is not wired yet (needs the SPE serial protocol).
- Denkovi (FT245 D2XX) now selectable as 4 or 8 relays (a 4-relay board just uses
the low nibble); NewDenkovi takes a count, driven by the device's Channels.
- New 'usbrelay' backend: cheap CH340/LCUS USB-serial boards over a COM port
using the common A0 protocol ([0xA0][relay][state][checksum]); write-only, so
Status is a shadow. Channel count configurable (1/2/4/8/16).
- StationDevice gains Channels; deviceRelayCount() drives label/relay counts for
the variable-size types. Device editor: channel selector + COM-port picker
(usbrelay) / FTDI-serial (denkovi).
Both untested on hardware; the A0 command set / Denkovi bit order may need a tweak
after a live test.
Third relay device alongside WebSwitch and KMTronic. Despite enumerating as a
COM port, this board is driven via FTDI D2XX synchronous bit-bang (one byte = 8
relays, bit 0 = relay 1), not serial ASCII — so we load ftd2xx.dll at runtime
(no CGO) and call FT_OpenEx/FT_SetBitMode/FT_Write, addressing the board by its
FTDI serial (e.g. DAE0006K), exactly like the vendor tool. Windows-only (stub
elsewhere); ListDenkoviDevices enumerates connected serials for the picker.
Wired into relaydev (Count/Status/Set), app.go (deviceDriver/relayCountFor/type
whitelist + ListDenkoviDevices binding), and the Station device editor (new type
+ FTDI-serial field with Detect). Untested on hardware; bit order / on-polarity
may need a flip after a live test.
Adds a Rename button to Settings -> Database: renames the current SQLite database
(e.g. opslog.db -> F4BPO.db) while preserving every setting/profile, unlike New
database which starts empty. Implemented as a VACUUM INTO copy + pointer switch;
the old file (open and locked now) is scheduled via config.json delete_pending
and removed, with its -wal/-shm sidecars, on the next launch.
Adds ExportAwardForCatalog(code, version): writes the selected award as a
catalog-format JSON ({"def":…,"references":…}) stamped with a version and with
user_edited cleared, ready to paste over internal/award/catalog/<code>.json. A
new release then propagates the change to the whole team via mergeCatalog —
unedited copies auto-upgrade, edited ones are offered the update.
UI: a version input + "Publish to catalog…" button in the award editor footer,
defaulting to one past the award's current version.
ON AIR badge (bottom status bar, shown when live-status publishing is on): a
blinking red light + "On air" when a QSO was logged in the last 5 min, dim
"Offline" otherwise. Seeded at launch from LiveLastQSOAgeSec so it's right
immediately, flips online on qso:logged, expires via a 10s tick.
Auto-updater UI: the update check now also runs every 10 minutes, and the
update notification downloads and installs in-app — a live progress bar
(update:progress) then OpsLog restarts on the new build. Falls back to opening
the release page when there's no auto-download asset or on error (retry).
Regenerated bindings for DownloadAndApplyUpdate / LiveLastQSOAgeSec.
Automatically switches the Station Control relay boards from the rig's
current frequency / band. Each relay carries one rule: off (manual), a
frequency window (ON inside [lo,hi] kHz, OFF outside), or a set of bands
(ON on those bands, OFF elsewhere). Evaluated on every CAT frequency/band
change; a relay is only switched when its desired state actually changed,
so tuning within a range doesn't hammer the board.
A cached atomic flag keeps the CAT hot path a no-op when the feature is off
(important during FT8 slice churn). Saving re-applies from the live
frequency so a changed rule takes effect immediately.
New Settings → Hardware → Relay auto-control section: master enable plus a
per-relay mode (Off / Frequency / Band) with kHz range inputs or band
chips, per configured relay board. i18n EN + FR. Azimuth/Time modes (the
other two PstRotator tabs) are left for later.
Watches a configurable list of external ADIF files (fldigi RTTY logbook,
N1MM, VarAC…) and imports newly appended QSOs automatically. Each record
goes through the existing UDP-log path, so it gets full enrichment, ±2-minute
dedup (shared udpLogMu, can't race the UDP auto-log) and automatic upload to
the configured external services — no per-file toggles like Log4OM.
A newly added file starts at its current size (offset -1 sentinel → size on
first scan), so the QSOs already in it are NOT bulk-imported; only contacts
logged after it was added come in. Reads only up to the last complete <eor>
so a half-written record waits. Handles truncation/rotation (re-reads from 0,
dedup protects) and persists per-file offsets without clobbering a concurrent
UI edit of the file list.
New Settings → ADIF monitor section: master enable + add/remove/toggle files.
Backend emits adifmon:imported → the grid refreshes and a toast reports the
count. i18n EN + FR.
Opt-in via Settings→General (portable pref opslog.showQsoRate). Shows the
contest-style QSO rate in QSOs/hour, projected from the trailing 10-minute
(count ×6) and 60-minute windows, between the widget icons and propagation.
Backend: qso.RecentRate counts QSOs whose start time falls in each trailing
window, scanning only the last 400 rows (cheap on a large log); App.GetQSORate
exposes the 10/60-min counts. Frontend refreshes on qso:logged and a 30s tick.
The meter shares the propagation grid cell — the header is a fixed 6-column
grid, so adding it as its own child pushed profile/band-map/compact onto a
second row. i18n EN + FR.
Backend: replace the bounded cluster-event channel (which dropped spots
under RBN bursts once enrichment/UI fell behind) with an unbounded
clusterQueue (slice + sync.Cond). The socket-read goroutine still never
blocks, but a burst now grows the backlog and drains instead of losing
spots. Head compaction keeps a sustained burst from growing the backing
array without bound.
ClusterGrid: drop all hard-coded light-theme hex colours (Time, Country,
Spotter, Comment, POTA, band/mode fills) for semantic CSS-var tokens so
they read correctly on every theme. Replace the heavy full-cell band/mode
fills with small rounded pills (cellChip). Only NEW MODE pills the mode
cell — NEW SLOT (band and mode each worked, just not together) no longer
highlights the mode cell, which wrongly implied the mode was new.
App: stage incoming spots ~50ms and resolve their slot status before
inserting, so a row paints with its badge already on instead of flashing
plain text then flipping to a pill. Self-spot toast still fires per spot.
i18n: translate the General settings that were still English — telemetry
and live-status toggles, the Main view pane pickers and their options.

New Operator picker next to the contest picker, populated with the operators
actually present in the log. Selecting one recomputes every statistic for that
operator — QSO/DXCC totals, top countries, continent split, by band/mode, and
the rate/best-60. "— Station owner —" buckets QSOs logged with no OPERATOR set.
Shown only when the log has more than one operator.
