Six equal columns gave a US county name the same width as a two-digit CQ
zone: the county truncated while the zones, the prefix and the DXCC
number sat mostly empty. The row is twelve columns now, spans set per
field.
The bearing and the two distances are read-only and never exceed
"12345 km", so they move to a flex row at a fixed width and the address —
the one field here that was never wide enough — takes the remainder.
Design flaw: opslog.db held BOTH the config (settings + profiles) AND the SQLite
logbook, so the only way to a separate SQLite logbook — the whole-app "change
database location" pointer — swapped the config too, wiping the operator's setup
(reported: creating a new SQLite for a visiting op lost all profiles/settings).
Now the two are separate files:
- Settings database: settings + profiles. Fresh installs name it settings.db;
existing installs keep opslog.db.
- Logbook (QSOs): a dedicated logbook.db next to the settings db, or a
per-profile file (profile.ProfileDB.Path), or MySQL. connectLogbook opens the
logbook file (db.Open creates+migrates on first use); the settings db is used
as the logbook only if the split ever fails.
One-time, non-destructive migration at startup: if there's no logbook file yet
but the settings db already holds QSOs (legacy combined opslog.db), seed
logbook.db with a clean copy via VACUUM INTO — contacts move to the logbook, the
originals stay in the settings db as an untouched backup.
UI: the Database panel now shows the settings database and this profile's logbook
as two clearly labelled sections (+ "Open folder"), and the logbook selector is
SQLite (default logbook.db, or a dedicated file via "Choose a dedicated file…")
vs MySQL — no more confusing shared/separate choice. New binding RevealDataFolder.
Operators rarely write the canton in their address/QTH but do write the city.
Add a per-reference city regex to every one of the 26 cantons (same mechanism as
WAPC): the description match now fires on the canton NAME or any of its main
cities (Genève→GE, Lausanne→VD, Zürich→ZH, Bellinzona→TI, …), with accented and
ASCII/localised spellings. Scoped to DXCC 287 so cross-border city-name clashes
can't misfire. Catalog version bumped 1→2 so the update reaches anyone already
running H26 v1 (unless they've edited it).
New built-in award file internal/award/catalog/h26.json (USKA "The Helvetia 26
Award HF"): 26-canton reference list, matches the canton from the QSO address
(OR-rule: QTH) by description, scoped to DXCC 287 (HB) on HF. Fixed a typo in
the description ("Swityerland"). Changelog entry added (EN+FR).
DDFM now derives the French department from the address postal code, not only
from a note typed by hand — the catalog def gains the address OR-rule (\d{2}\d{3}
-> Dxx), France+Corsica scope, and version 2. On next launch every operator whose
DDFM is unedited auto-upgrades to it (user-edited copies are offered it); the
materialised award_refs then recompute so ~500+ French QSOs gain their department.
Also: a catalog definition update now clears the award_refs backfill flag, so any
future catalog bump self-heals the stored columns without a manual flag bump.
