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).
When the configured amplifier is an SPE Expert (not the PowerGenius), the Flex
panel now shows an SPE control card — the Flex doesn't report SPE amps, so it's
driven by OpsLog's own SPE link. The PowerGenius fan-mode control is hidden when
the amp type isn't PowerGenius.
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.
MSHV/WSJT-X often stamp a personal STATION_CALLSIGN (e.g. F4BPO) that differs
from the special-event/contest profile you're running in OpsLog (e.g. TM74TFR).
The QSO then failed the extsvc station-callsign guard and was never uploaded to
the (matching) Club Log logbook. Live UDP logging now stamps the active profile's
callsign when the base call genuinely differs (portable variants left alone).
publishLiveStatus only ran on QSO log or the 15s heartbeat, and the widget polled
every 15s, so an operator's band/freq (and their appearance) could trail by up to
a minute. Now ReportLiveActivity debounce-publishes ~1.5s after a freq/band/mode
change, and the widget polls every 5s (and 1.5s after qso:logged).
The 15s poll effect depended on the dbConn OBJECT, which gets a fresh reference
on several events — each reset the interval before it fired, so the widget could
stay stale for over a minute. Depend on the is-mysql boolean instead, and also
refresh ~2s after qso:logged so our own row appears promptly like the ON AIR
badge.
- Removes the RX-audio CW decoder: deletes app_cw.go + internal/cwdecode, the
cwDecoder/cwPitchHz/cwMu/cwStop App fields, and all frontend state/effects, the
header Ear button, the Tools menu item and the decoded-text strip. The CW
KEYER (WinKeyer/Icom/Flex) is untouched.
- Fix: typing a callsign while a macro is keying now aborts the CURRENT engine
(Flex CWX / Icom / WinKeyer) on the first character, not just WinKeyer during
an auto-call loop — via a shared stopKeyerTx() helper.
Implements the SPE Application Programmer's Guide protocol: packets
0x55 0x55 0x55|CNT|DATA|CHK (sum%256), OPERATE key 0x0D (toggles STANDBY/OPERATE)
and STATUS request 0x90 whose 0xAA-framed reply is a 19-field CSV (mode, RX/TX,
band, power level, output W, SWR, V/I, temp, warnings, alarms). internal/spe
polls status ~1/s over USB serial (go.bug.st/serial, 8N1) or TCP (RS232-to-
Ethernet bridge) — same codec, different transport.
Wired via startPGXL (starts the SPE client for spe* types), bindings GetSPEStatus
/ SPESetOperate, and a live status card + OPERATE/STANDBY toggle in the Amplifier
settings panel. Only the two example-anchored commands are sent (safe); other
keystroke codes were ambiguous in the guide's table. Untested on hardware.
