Big architecture change (settings/logbook DB split) warrants a minor bump. Rename
the unreleased 0.20.12 changelog block to 0.21.0 and prepend a clear ⚠️ warning
(EN+FR) explaining the automatic non-destructive split, that nothing is lost, and
advising a data-folder backup before updating.
Per feedback: New/Open/Rename/Save-copy/Reset made no sense under the settings
database — moved the meaningful DB actions to the logbook (New database / Open
existing / Rename-relocate). The settings section now shows just its path + Open
folder. Also fixed the "Logbook switched…" confirmation rendering twice (dropped
the duplicate render in the SQLite block; kept the shared one). The unused
settings-db handlers/bindings stay for a later re-add.
"Choose a dedicated file" points at a fresh/empty file; there was no way to
rename or move an existing logbook WITH its data. RenameLogbook VACUUM INTOs the
active profile's SQLite logbook to a new path, repoints the profile and switches
the live logbook (no restart). Deletes the old file only when it was a dedicated
per-profile file; the shared default logbook.db is left for other profiles.
Errors on a MySQL logbook. UI: "Rename / relocate…" button in the logbook section.
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.
Design flaw: the SQLite backend conflated the app/config database (opslog.db —
settings + profiles) with the QSO logbook. connectLogbook returned a.db for any
non-MySQL profile, so the ONLY way to get a separate SQLite logbook was the
whole-app "change database location" pointer — which swapped config + profiles
too, wiping the operator's setup (reported: creating Jerem.db lost all configs).
profile.ProfileDB gains a Path field: a non-empty path routes that profile's
logbook to its own SQLite file (db.Open creates + migrates it on first use),
while opslog.db keeps settings/profiles. connectLogbook opens the file; empty
path = shared db (unchanged default, backward compatible). MySQLSettings carries
sqlite_path; Get/Save wire it through.
UI: the Database panel gains a third backend option "SQLite — separate file"
with a file picker, and now clearly labels the shared application database
(settings + profiles) vs this profile's logbook, so the two are never confused.
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).
The random per-install UUID lives in the LOCAL SQLite, so one operator running
OpsLog on several machines (laptop / desktop / Maestro) or after a reinstall
counted as several distinct "users" — making the user total unreliable. Use the
station callsign as distinct_id when set (public in ham radio, stable across all
of an op's machines); the install UUID stays as a fallback and rides along as an
install_id property so per-machine detail isn't lost.
A SteppIR only covers part of the spectrum (a standard one is 20 m–6 m) but
can't report its own range, so the follow loop's existing out-of-range guard
(FreqMin/FreqMax) never engaged for it. Tuning the rig to a band the antenna
can't reach (e.g. 30 m) made the loop keep trying — the immediate cause of the
stuck TX interlock addressed in the previous commit.
Add a Tunable range (MHz) setting to the Antenna panel, wired into the SteppIR
adapter's Status().FreqMin/FreqMax so the follow loop skips out-of-range
frequencies entirely: no tune command, no TX inhibit. Defaults to 13–54 MHz
(20 m–6 m, the common model) when unset; widen the low edge for a 40 m-equipped
SteppIR. Ultrabeam is unaffected (it reports its own per-band coverage).
Keeps the last-commanded-freq deadband from the previous commit as a universal
safety net for any flaky-status case within the valid range.
The motorized-antenna follow loop keyed its deadband off the antenna's reported
frequency. A SteppIR reports an intermittent/stale status frequency (flips
between the commanded freq and its home/6 m value), so the deadband tripped on
almost every 1.5 s poll and re-issued a tune command. Each command refreshed
noteMotorMoveCommanded(), keeping motorTXInhibitLoop's recentCmd window alive, so
the Flex transmit-inhibit ("Interlock is preventing transmission") never
released — confirmed in a real log (moving=0 throughout, recentCmd was the
driver).
Follow loop now keys the deadband off the LAST COMMANDED rig frequency, only
re-tuning when the radio actually QSYs beyond the step — immune to a flaky
antenna status. Falls back to the antenna's freq only until the first command.
Also dropped SetTXInhibit's `interlock set reason=` sends: `reason` is a
read-only field on the Flex interlock object, so writing it is rejected
(cmd error 5000002D on V1.4.0.0) and did nothing; `transmit set inhibit=` is the
real mechanism and is unchanged.
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).
This reverts commit 6a28344. Restore the once-a-day anonymous PostHog heartbeat
and its opt-out toggle: telemetry.go (sendTelemetryHeartbeat, GetTelemetryEnabled/
SetTelemetryEnabled, PostHog host + API key), the startup goroutine, the Settings
→ General toggle + i18n keys, and the README/wiki mentions. version.go is dropped
again (appVersion moves back into telemetry.go). release.ps1 (untracked) pointed
back at telemetry.go by hand.
The matching "five rules" were already documented; add the parts that were only
in code: the per-QSO Explain trace (Test a callsign in the award editor), the
Missing-refs gap finder (in-scope-but-no-reference + bulk assign), how one QSO
credits several references (n-fer POTA / VUCC grid lines, comma/semicolon split),
code-vs-exact matching, and how built-in award updates skip awards you've edited.
The SteppIR client logged commands it sent but never the status frames it read
back, so a misread motor-status byte — which drives the app's "block TX while
the antenna is moving" interlock on a FlexRadio — was invisible. Log the raw
11-byte frame plus the decoded freq/dir/moving and the motor (buf[6]) and
direction (buf[7]) bytes, but only when the frame changes, to keep the 2 s poll
from flooding the log. Purely diagnostic; no behaviour change.
Drop the once-a-day anonymous "app_opened" heartbeat to PostHog and everything
around it: telemetry.go (sendTelemetryHeartbeat, GetTelemetryEnabled/
SetTelemetryEnabled, install-ID/last-sent settings keys, PostHog host + API key)
and the startup goroutine that fired it. The 'Send anonymous usage statistics'
toggle is removed from Settings → General (TelemetryToggle + i18n keys), and the
telemetry mentions are stripped from the README and wiki.
appVersion (still used by changelog/update/livestatus/log-email) moves to a new
version.go; release.ps1 now rewrites it there instead of telemetry.go.
writeRecord gained a fourth `allow map[string]bool` argument in the export
field-picker change; the round-trip test still called it with three. Pass nil
(no field filtering — the historical behaviour).
The RECEIVE card had grown tall after adding WNB and the SmartSDR v4 DSP rows
(NRL/NRS/NRF/ANFL/RNN/ANFT). Keep the everyday NB/NR/ANF visible and tuck the
supplementary controls behind a collapsible 'DSP' button. The button badges +
highlights when any hidden control is ON so an active filter is never hidden,
and its open/closed state persists in localStorage (opslog.flexDspOpen).
Global "Export to ADIF" gains a third option "Choose fields…" next to the
standard-only and full-OpsLog choices, and right-clicking selected QSOs adds
"Export selected — choose fields…". The picker separates official ADIF 3.1.7
fields (grouped by category) from OpsLog/non-standard tags actually present in
the log (discovered via DistinctExtraKeys over extras_json), with All/None per
group and reset-to-defaults; the selection is persisted per user.
Backend: adif.Exporter gains a Fields allow-set that gates every promoted and
extras field in writeRecord; app.go ExportADIF/ExportADIFFiltered/
ExportADIFSelected take a fields []string param, plus new ADIFExtraFields.
The External-services panel (HRDLOG, eQSL, LoTW, POTA) and the many input
placeholders across all tabs (QRZ/ClubLog included) were still hardcoded
English. Added ~40 es.* keys (EN + FR) and wired every label, placeholder,
hint, checkbox, button and the "coming soon" fallback through t(). Renamed the
tab-map param off `t` so it no longer shadows the i18n function.
The Password-encryption, ClubLog-exceptions and ClubLog-Most-Wanted blocks in
the General settings panel were still hardcoded English. Added ~30 gen.* keys
(EN + FR) and wired every heading, checkbox label, description, button and
status line through t(), plus the passphrase-mismatch error.
A QSO with a non-Latin character (Cyrillic Я = \xD0\xAF, Polish ł, …) failed to
save on the shared MySQL backend with "Error 1366: Incorrect string value …
for column 'qso'.'address'". Cause: the database had been pre-created by a
hosting panel (o2switch/cPanel) as latin1, so OpsLog's CREATE DATABASE IF NOT
EXISTS … utf8mb4 was a no-op and every table inherited latin1 — which can't
store those letters, even over a utf8mb4 connection.
OpenMySQL now runs ensureMySQLUTF8MB4 after migrations: ALTER DATABASE to
utf8mb4 (for future tables) + CONVERT any table with a non-utf8mb4 text column
via an information_schema probe. Idempotent and cheap on a healthy DB (the probe
returns nothing → no ALTERs); best-effort so a charset issue never blocks
logbook access. SQLite is unaffected.
The pass-order "#" is a rowIndex valueGetter, but AG-Grid keeps the same row
node across a reorder (getRowId by id) and caches the value, so a moved station
kept its old number. Force-refresh the __order column on every model update in
passOrder mode.
The on-air list was ordered by log time, but a net controller needs the order
the mic goes around. The on-air grid now renders in a controller-owned order:
- A pinned "#" column numbers the round; header sorting is disabled on this
grid (new passOrder prop on RecentQSOsGrid) so a stray click can't reshuffle
it, and any previously-saved sort is stripped on restore.
- ⬆⬇ buttons move the selected station up/down the queue.
- New check-ins append to the end; logged/cancelled stations drop out; the
order is reconciled against the live session list and persisted per net
(localStorage opslog.netOrder.<id>), so a tab switch keeps the round.
- "Log & end" now auto-advances to the NEXT station in pass order.
The first RX-audio CW decoder decoded poorly on real signals (vs SDC) and was
removed in cafade0. This rebuilds the DSP core from scratch in
internal/cwdecode, keeping v1's good ideas (pitch lock, Flex cw_pitch
targeting, tiered acquisition) and fixing its proven failures:
- Two-way DEBOUNCE (pending-commit ~0.3 dit): v1 rejected short marks but not
short spaces, so a one-hop fade inside a dah shattered it into dits — the
single worst real-signal failure.
- Per-character BATCH dit/dah classification at flush time, using the batch's
own bimodal boundary — the first letter of an over decodes at any speed; the
timing clusters (muDit/muDah) are updated with the same attribution, killing
the classify-then-learn feedback spiral ("all dits at 60 WPM").
- dB-domain envelope with separate floor/peak trackers, hysteresis slicer,
span CAP (30 dB — else quiet backgrounds put the off-threshold in the
analysis-window skirts and letters merge) and window de-bias on durations.
- Double squelch: span >= 6 dB AND peak >= bank-median + 9.5 dB (span alone
cannot reject pure noise).
- Hamming-windowed Goertzel, 16 ms window / 5 ms hop (a 20 ms window left
40 WPM inter-element gaps with no envelope dip).
- Hardened acquisition (overlapping windows made "3 stable hops" meaningless)
plus SUPERVISED RE-LOCK: a clearly stronger tone on another pitch sustained
~1 s takes over — heals noise locks and follows a QSY.
- Gap-fed dit-length tracking (inter-element gaps are timing evidence too).
Proven by a synthetic-signal test suite (all passing): clean 12-40 WPM, three
pitches, added noise, QSB fading 0.35-1.0, 10 ms dropouts inside dahs, QRM in
auto and targeted modes, noise-only squelch, mid-over speed change 25->15 WPM,
and jittered hand keying (+/-20-25%, 3 seeds).
Wiring and UI restored from git (app_cw.go, Ear header button, decoded-text
strip with WPM/pitch/level + pitch lock + click-a-word-to-fill-callsign, Tools
menu entry) — strip strings translated (cwd.* i18n keys, EN/FR) this time.
The whole "Manipulateur CW" settings panel was hardcoded in English, so it
stayed English even with the app in French. Added ~35 wk.* keys (EN + FR) and
wired every label/checkbox/select/placeholder through t(). Also removed the long
serial-engine explanation paragraph as requested.
Confirmed from HB9HBY's log: ptt=true, yet the FT-891 dropped to RX between
words during a CQ macro — while the same SCU-17 works in N1MM. Root cause:
go.bug.st/serial drives DTR/RTS through GetCommState/SetCommState, which on the
SCU-17's Silicon Labs CP210x drops the asserted RTS (PTT) the moment DTR (CW)
is toggled. N1MM/WSJT use EscapeCommFunction, which sets one line without
disturbing the other.
OpsLog now drives the lines the same way: a new lineCtl abstraction with a
Windows implementation (linectl_windows.go) that opens the COM port via
CreateFile and toggles DTR/RTS with windows.EscapeCommFunction (SETDTR/CLRDTR/
SETRTS/CLRRTS). linectl_other.go keeps go.bug.st/serial for non-Windows builds.
The serial keyer holds a lineCtl instead of a serial.Port. RTS (PTT) now stays
asserted for the whole macro, so the rig holds TX between words.
Promotes golang.org/x/sys to a direct dependency.
Reported: on a CQ macro the rig drops to RX between words instead of holding TX
for the whole macro. Root cause is PTT not being held (usePTT off, or the RTS
PTT line not wired/honoured). Improvements:
- "Key PTT line" now defaults ON when the Serial engine is selected — without it
the rig runs on semi-break-in and drops between words.
- The serial keyer's line options (PTT, key line, invert, lead/tail, speed) are
now atomic and live-updatable: SaveWinkeyerSettings -> ApplySerialConfig applies
them from the next character, no reconnect needed.
- Each transmission logs its PTT state / key line / lead/tail, so a rig that
still won't hold TX can be diagnosed from the app log.
The macro itself is sent as one string (not fragmented), so PTT is genuinely
held across word gaps when usePTT is on — pending on-air confirmation via the log.
Opt-in (Settings → General). Shows a "MW #rank" pill next to the DXCC entity
name in the entry-strip band/slot matrix — ClubLog's Most Wanted ranking
(1 = most wanted), personalised to the operator's callsign and refreshed daily.
- internal/clublog/mostwanted.go: fetch mostwanted.php?api=1&callsign=<CALL>
(rank→DXCC JSON, real User-Agent), invert to dxcc→rank, cache to
<dataDir>/clublog_mostwanted.json; NeedsRefresh invalidates on callsign change.
- app.go: keyClublogMostWanted setting, a.clublogMW, startup refresh goroutine,
activeCallsign() helper, and Get/Set/Download bindings mirroring the cty ones.
WorkedBefore now carries MWRank (qso.WorkedBefore.MWRank) when enabled.
- BandSlotGrid.tsx: MW pill next to the entity name, colour-tiered by rank.
- SettingsModal General: toggle + download button + status, mirroring the
ClubLog cty-exceptions block.
Also reorganises the changelog: the theme-persistence fix (landed after the
v0.20.11 tag) plus this feature go under a new 0.20.12 entry; 0.20.11 keeps only
what shipped in its binary.
The settings store is backed by the LOCAL SQLite config DB (wired before the
slow remote-MySQL logbook connect), so the "not ready" window is the brief
startup gap before OnStartup builds the store, not a MySQL delay. Fix behaviour
is unchanged; only the comments and changelog wording are corrected.
An update can clear the WebView's localStorage; the theme is then restored from
the portable DB pref, but GetUIPref returned ("", nil) while the settings store
was still starting (indistinguishable from a genuinely-unset pref), so the
self-heal gave up after ~2.4s and fell back to the light default.
GetUIPref now returns an error when the settings store isn't wired yet, and the
theme self-heal treats that as "not ready → keep retrying" (up to ~36s) vs a
real empty answer ("unset → keep default"). A dark theme survives the relaunch.
Confirmed from an FT-891 CAT log: OpsLog tuned via OmniRig's SetSimplexMode,
which returned OK on every spot click but never moved the VFO (readback stayed
put), while SetMode on the same .ini worked — so the CAT link was healthy and
only the frequency write was a no-op. SetSimplexMode was chosen because Icoms
accept direct FreqA writes but don't move; Yaesu/Kenwood are the opposite.
Now, for non-Icom rigs (or if SetSimplexMode errors), also write the VFO
frequency property (FreqA/Freq) directly, which does move them. Icom keeps the
SetSimplexMode-only path so the Main/Sub VFO isn't nudged by a direct write.
Some CW interfaces key on the opposite line level (transmit at rest / key
backwards). New "Invert keying (active-LOW)" toggle flips the asserted level for
both the CW and PTT lines, and the idle state drives both lines to their
inactive level accordingly so an active-low rig isn't left keyed at rest.
Default off = N1MM convention (line HIGH = active).
Adds a 4th CW keyer engine alongside K1EL WinKeyer, Icom CI-V and Flex CWX:
OpsLog bit-bangs the Morse itself on a serial control line (DTR keys CW, RTS
keys PTT — swappable), the hardware-keying method N1MM/WSJT use with a Yaesu
SCU-17 and generic interfaces. No WinKeyer chip needed.
- internal/winkeyer/serialcw.go: serialKeyer — worker goroutine, morse table,
WPM + Farnsworth timing (live speed changes), abortable, PTT lead-in/tail/hang.
- winkeyer.Config gains Type ("k1el"|"serial") + CWKeyLine ("dtr"|"rts");
Manager routes Connect/Send/Stop/SetSpeed/Backspace/Disconnect to it.
- app.go: keyWKCWLine setting; WinkeyerConnect sets Type from the engine.
- Settings -> CW Keyer: new "Serial port (DTR=CW/RTS=PTT)" engine with COM port,
key-line selector, speed/Farnsworth/lead-in/tail/PTT. Macros, auto-CQ and
<LOGQSO> reuse the WinKeyer path unchanged.
UNTESTED on hardware (no SCU-17 to hand): polarity assumes N1MM convention
(line HIGH = active). Weight not yet honoured; Farnsworth is.
The rig's 0x27 waveform frames carry the same leading main-scope selector byte
as the dual-scope IC-7610/9700 (`27 00 00 <seq> <total> …`), but the code keyed
the layout off the CI-V address and treated the 7300 as selector-less, reading
the sequence from Data[1] (always 0x00) so every frame hit the `seq == 0`
guard and was dropped — blank scope. The waveform parser now detects the
leading selector byte from the frame itself (address-independent), and the
scope config/set commands (mode, span, edges) include the selector the 7300
requires. The IC-7610/9700 path is byte-for-byte unchanged (main → idx 2, sub
frames skipped). Confirmed against a real IC-7300 CI-V capture.
0.20.10 was released before the "closing OpsLog switches off the radio's own
scope" fix landed, so its entry is reattributed to 0.20.11 (the fix code is
already committed in 1668455).
SetScope(false) sent both 0x27 0x10 00 (scope DISPLAY off) and 0x27 0x11 00
(CI-V data output off), so quitting OpsLog blanked a local IC-7300's own scope
screen. Only the display-on (0x27 0x10 01) is now sent, and only on enable;
disable stops the CI-V stream alone and never touches the radio's display.
The multi-frame waveform header (USB path) read the second frequency field
as an absolute high edge, but in center mode it is a span — so high < low and
the panadapter had no valid range to map the trace onto (blank scope). It now
applies the same center+span vs low+high disambiguation the IC-7610 single-
frame path already used. FIXED mode was unaffected.
Also stamps changelog 0.20.10 with today's date.
- Station Control: the amplifier panel is now the exact same card as the FlexRadio panel (extracted shared AmpCard: OPERATE/STANDBY, ON/OFF, power level, output-power bar, live FWD/ID/temp meters). Every configured amp gets its own card — no dropdown.
- Help → "Send log to F4BPO" (only when SMTP is configured): e-mails opslog.log + previous session + crash log to the developer. New email.SendFiles for multi-attachment.
- Bulk edit: new "Frequency (MHz)" field sets freq_hz AND recomputes band; out-of-band values rejected. Fixes a run logged on a stale/default freq after CAT dropped.
- Cluster: Time column sorted lexically on the HHMMZ string, so spots after 0000Z sorted below 2359Z and looked frozen at the UTC rollover. Now sorts by real arrival time.
- Also folds in the DVK auto-CQ/2-column layout and Station Control dashboard batch (changelog 0.20.10, EN+FR).
Multi-amp: Settings->Amplifier becomes a list (amps.json, legacy single-amp keys auto-migrate to entry #1); one client per enabled amp with per-id bindings (GetAmplifiers/SaveAmplifiers/GetAmpStatuses/AmpOperate/AmpPower/AmpPowerLevel/AmpFanMode); legacy a.pgxl/a.spe/a.acom point at the first enabled amp of each family. Amp cards in FlexPanel and Station Control gain a dropdown to pick the amp; the status bar shows one clickable chip per amp. Use case: two SPEs run in parallel.
Flex v4 DSP (8000/Aurora): NRL/ANFL (lms_nr/lms_anf), NRS (speex_nr), NRF (nrf) with level sliders, RNN (rnnoise) and ANFT on/off — keys per the FlexLib slice docs; the section only shows when the radio reports these keys (dsp_v4 flag), so 6000-series panels are unchanged.
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.
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.
Completes the CWX type-ahead loop: with send-on-type the keyer-panel CW text
already streams each typed char to the radio's CWX buffer (which keys in order,
so you can keep typing while it sends); this adds the matching un-send. Route
wkBackspace to FlexBackspaceCW -> cwx erase N, so backspacing a mistyped char in
send-on-type removes it from the buffer before the radio keys it.
The ESC abort keyed WinkeyerStop unconditionally, so it never aborted the Icom
CI-V or Flex CWX keyer. Route the stop through cwSource like the panel Stop
button does.
PortBtn was defined inside AntGeniusPanel, so every render produced a new
component type and React unmounted/remounted every port button. Normally
re-renders are rare so it's invisible, but the CW decoder floods the app with
cw:text/cw:status events (re-render many times a second), tearing the buttons
down between mousedown and mouseup — the click never completed and the antenna
never switched. Move PortBtn to module scope (stable identity) and pass
onActivate/t as props.
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.
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.
The one-shot award_refs backfill never revisited rows after it ran, so a QSO
materialized before an award gained a rule kept stale values — e.g. DDFM's
postal-code OR-rule matched nothing on the 500+ French QSOs whose department
comes from the address, only the handful with it typed in notes. Two fixes:
bump the backfill flag (awards.materialized.v2) so every operator re-materializes
once on next launch with their current definitions, and make RescanAwards (the
Awards tab Rescan button) also recompute award_refs for an on-demand refresh.
The File menu's Exit item was hard-disabled and its action had no case in the
menu dispatcher, so it did nothing. Enable it and route file.exit to QuitApp,
which runs the same graceful beforeClose shutdown as the window close button.
Live award detection merges pickable refs into award_refs per call, but nothing
dropped them when the call was cleared, so a previous call's ref lingered onto
the next (IT9AOT's ref still showing after typing F4BPO, both listed in the F3
Awards tab). Clear award_refs the moment the callsign field is emptied.
Award refs are now computed once and stored on the QSO as a JSON column
(award_refs, e.g. {"DDFM":"74","WAJA":"12"}) instead of recomputing the whole
award engine on every grid page load. Written on log/edit/UDP-import and
bulk-recomputed when an award definition or reference list changes; a one-time
per-logbook backfill materializes pre-existing QSOs. The grid reads the column
directly like any other field, so it's fast and available everywhere (including
the shared MySQL logbook).
Also fix per-profile grid column layout: the DB copy was already per-profile,
but the localStorage cache used one global namespace and shadowed it, so a
profile switch kept the previous profile's columns/widths. gridPrefs now scopes
the cache by active profile id and the grids remount on profile:changed.
The 7610-only FreqA gate broke CAT on the 7610 when FreqA was momentarily 0.
Match DXHunter/WSJT-X: read FreqA first for all rigs, fall back to the generic
Freq (IC-9100 etc.), then FreqB. OmniRig's generic Freq maps to VFO B on the
7610, which is why keying off FreqA is correct.
Live status: when an operator goes offline (no QSO in the window) OpsLog now
DELETEs its live_status row instead of just flipping online=0, so a status page
that lists present/recent rows shows them as gone without having to read the
online column — the whole point of the feature. The row reappears on the next
QSO.
Recent QSOs columns: toggling an award column (e.g. DDFM) rebuilt columnDefs and
made AG Grid re-apply every colDef hide default, so hidden non-award columns
(QTH/Grid) came back and restoringRef stayed stuck true (saving off). The
restore-saved-state effect now also runs on awardShown changes, so the other
columns keep the user's visibility.
Rate meter: on a shared MySQL logbook it now shows two lines — OP (the active
operator, accent) and Team (all operators, foreground) — each with the 10/60-min
QSOs/hour; single-op keeps the one-line display.
Live-stations widget: only stations currently on air are listed (offline ones
are hidden rather than greyed).
Recent QSOs footer: 'Showing X of Y' now reflects the AG-Grid COLUMN filters
(the funnel icons) — the grid reports its displayed row count, so filtering a
column shows how many QSOs remain instead of always the full total.
GetQSORate now returns both the active operator's rate (their own performance)
and the whole station's rate (all operators combined). RecentRateBreakdown
computes both in one scan of the recent rows (per-operator + all-operators),
replacing RecentRate.
The new build downloaded and OpsLog quit, but never came back. Two Windows
causes: the freshly written exe carried the internet Zone.Identifier mark, so
SmartScreen wanted to prompt "are you sure you want to open this?" — invisibly,
since we launch it programmatically — and silently blocked the launch; and
starting the new exe while the old one was still exiting raced the single-
instance mutex.
Now the swapped exe's Zone.Identifier stream is removed, and the relaunch is
done by a detached, hidden PowerShell that Wait-Process's on our PID (so we're
fully gone and the mutex is free) before Start-Process'ing the new exe.
Closing OpsLog dropped the CAT, whose frequency went to 0; the auto-control
read that as out of range and switched the relay OFF, then ON again at the next
launch. Now a rule is skipped entirely when the frequency/band is unknown (CAT
off), so relays keep their state across a close. And on the first evaluation
after launch/save it reads the boards' LIVE state and only switches a relay
that isn't already in the wanted position — no more clunk when it's already
correct.
At launch nothing is in memory yet, so the badge showed offline even with a
recent QSO. liveLastQSOTime is now authoritative: it takes the most recent of
the in-memory stamp AND the DB (this operator's last QSO — covers a contact
from the shared logbook or one logged before launch), used by both the
published status and the badge. The badge polls the backend every 5 s (down
from 15) and on each qso:logged, so it shows on air within a few seconds and
flips online instantly on a new contact.
The targeted extras write used SET extras, but the column is extras_json, so
sending an OpsLog QSL card (and the recording stamps) failed with an unknown-
column error. Use the real column name.
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.
CheckForUpdate now also resolves the release's downloadable asset (portable
.exe, or a .zip to unpack). DownloadAndApplyUpdate streams it with progress
events (update:progress 0-100), swaps it in for the running exe (rename the
current one to .old — allowed for a running image on Windows — move the new one
into place, roll back on failure), then relaunches with --post-update and quits.
main: a --post-update relaunch retries the single-instance mutex for ~20 s so
the fresh process waits for the old one to exit and free it, then clears the
.old exe left behind. Falls back to opening the release page when a release has
no auto-download asset.
The multi-op live status heartbeated every 15 s, so an operator who left the
log open but stopped working still showed on air. Now it publishes an explicit
online flag: online when a new contact was logged within the last 5 minutes,
offline otherwise. live_status gains `online` + `last_qso_at` columns (added to
existing tables via ALTER). Logging a QSO (manual, UDP, ADIF monitor) stamps the
time and republishes at once, so they flip back online instantly.
At launch the last-QSO time is seeded from the DB (Repo.LastQSOTime), so an
operator who worked someone just before starting OpsLog is shown online right
away rather than offline until their next contact. LiveLastQSOAgeSec exposes it
to the UI badge.
Duplicate logs: `saving` is React state (async), so a burst of Enter presses /
clicks fired before the re-render each ran a full AddQSO and logged the same
QSO several times when a slow lookup made logging take a moment. A synchronous
savingRef guard now ignores the repeat immediately.
ESC: clearing the entry (ESC) left the "looking up" spinner turning and let a
still in-flight lookup re-populate the field afterwards. resetEntry now cancels
the pending lookup debounce, hides the spinner at once, and bumps a generation
counter so a late lookup result is discarded instead of applied.
Status clobber: sending an OpsLog QSL card (or stamping a recording) read the
QSO, did slow work (e-mail send), then wrote the WHOLE row back from that now-
stale copy — silently reverting clublog/qrz_qso_upload_status from Y to R that a
concurrent auto-upload had just set. That's why QSOs "showed R again, but only
with QSL sending on", intermittently. New Repo.SetExtra does a targeted
`UPDATE qso SET extras = ?` that touches only the extras column, so an app-field
stamp can never clobber another column. Used by SendEQSL, markRecordingSent and
the recording-path stamp.
Logging speed: the log path no longer runs a callsign lookup at all — the e-mail
already arrives on the QSO from the entry lookup, so the second one was
redundant and stalled logging on a slow/not-found QRZ. And the entry lookup
(LookupCallsign) is now bounded to ~2 s: providers get 2 s, then it falls
through to cty.dat instead of spinning 10 s+ on a call that isn't in QRZ.
The single-worker upload queue introduced head-of-line blocking: one slow
upload (LoTW signing via TQSL, or a service on a 30 s timeout) stalled the
whole queue, so every following QSO's Club Log upload waited and the rows sat
at "R". Operators on the older, concurrent build had no such problem — the
tell that this was a fresh regression.
Back to one goroutine per upload (never serialised), so a slow upload never
holds up the rest, while keeping the transient-failure retry with back-off
(concurrent, so it can't block anything).
OmniRig: on the IC-7610 the generic Freq property reports the wrong VFO (its
Main/Sub model confuses the stock ini), so OpsLog showed VFO B. Detect the rig
by RigType and, in simplex, read VFO A explicitly — matching Log4OM. Only the
7610 is affected; other rigs keep using the generic Freq.
Icom network: when the rig tears the session down (control/CI-V 0x05) OpsLog
only logged it and kept the half-dead link until the 6 s liveness timeout
expired. Mark the link dead on 0x05 so Alive() fails on the next poll and the
manager reconnects cleanly right away.
The RST comboboxes allowed free text, so a report typed by hand that isn't in
the mode's list (e.g. "600") was committed. Drop allowFreeText on the four RST
fields (QSO entry + edit modal) and make commit-on-type push a value only when
it's actually in the list; a leftover invalid entry reverts to the last valid
value on blur. Programmatically filled values (FT8 SNR over UDP, presets) are
unaffected — only manual typing is constrained.
Headline KPI tiles are now tinted cards: a soft colour wash, a corner glow and
a left accent bar, each tile its own hue (QSOs blue, calls teal, DXCC violet,
continents orange, confirmed green) — the number itself stays in foreground ink
for full contrast on every theme. Chart cards gain a soft shadow and a coloured
dot in the header matching the section.
Charts are no longer all-blue: BY MODE colours each bar by the categorical
palette (modes are real categories, like the continents donut), and the other
horizontal-bar charts take their card's accent (top entities green, operators
violet, stations orange) instead of a single blue. Single-hue-per-series
discipline is kept; only genuine categories get per-bar colour.
A QSO logged via UDP / ADIF-import fired `go m.upload` per QSO, so a pileup or
an ADIF-import burst hit a service with dozens of concurrent requests at once.
Club Log's nginx answers that burst with 403; the upload counts as failed and
the QSO stays at "R" while a lucky few go through — the real cause behind the
"it's uploaded but shows R" report (not the earlier display race).
Route all immediate/delayed auto-uploads through a single serialised worker
(one at a time, 250ms apart) so no burst ever trips a per-IP rate limiter.
upload() now reports whether a failure is transient (HTTP/rate-limit) vs
permanent (not eligible, wrong station callsign, no record); transient ones
are retried with exponential back-off (up to 4 attempts, 1s/2s/4s), so a QSO
that hit a momentary 403 ends up marked instead of stuck at R. A full queue
falls back to a goroutine rather than dropping an upload.
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.
PANELS[selected]() invokes each settings panel as a plain function, so a panel
must not call hooks. ADIFMonitorPanel uses useState/useEffect/useI18n, which
broke the Rules of Hooks and blanked the section. Render it through JSX
(() => <ADIFMonitorPanel />) so it mounts as a real component with its own
hook context — same pattern as the Flex panel.
A UDP auto-logged QSO shows its Club Log (and other) upload status flick
R->Y->R even though the upload succeeds. Two refreshes race: the immediate
one after the UDP log reads the QSO at "R", the debounced one after
extsvc:uploaded reads it at "Y"; variable MySQL latency lets the older (R)
result resolve last and clobber the newer (Y) data.
Guard refresh() with a monotonic sequence number so only the most recently
issued refresh may apply its result — an older in-flight refresh is dropped.
Fixes the same class of stale-clobber for every confirmation column.
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.
Header: colour the propagation indices semantically (SFI/SSN green when
strong; A/K green quiet → yellow unsettled → red storm) and glow the QSO-rate
numbers the brand accent when active, dim to muted when idle.
WinKeyer/Icom CW: append a trailing word space to each macro send so two
macros fired back-to-back don't run together in the keyer buffer ("CQ"+"TEST"
→ "CQTEST"). The keyer keys the space at the current speed, so it scales with
WPM. Only the macro path is affected — send-on-type stays per-character.
Club Log: on a failed batch, log the callsign#id of every QSO in it so a
per-record rejection (e.g. a field value nginx's WAF blocks with a 403) can
actually be located instead of hiding behind "batch FAILED".
FCC ULS: catch the maintenance bounce before following it. data.fcc.gov
redirects to www.fcc.gov/system-maintenance during maintenance windows, and
that page then HTTP/2-stream-errors — which surfaced as a cryptic
INTERNAL_ERROR. Detect the redirect and return "try again later".
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.
theme: self-heal the persisted theme after mount. The synchronous boot
read only looks at localStorage, which is empty when the WebView cleared
its storage or when syncPortablePrefs ran before the backend wired its
settings store (GetUIPref returned "" with no error) — so a restart could
silently land on the default light theme. ThemeProvider now re-reads the
portable pref from the DB once the backend is up (retrying briefly to ride
out a slow startup) and applies it, without clobbering a manual pick.
ClusterGrid: the Call cell now uses a danger pill for NEW DXCC, consistent
with the NEW BAND / NEW MODE pills, instead of a full-cell red fill. cellChip
inherits the column's font size (no fixed 9px / height) so a pill around a
callsign stays the same size as the plain callsigns beside it.
DvkPanel: the voice-keyer TX indicator (LED + label) is red while
transmitting, not orange.

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.

The radio-style Ctrl+left/right RIT shortcut skipped any focused input/textarea
(to preserve word navigation), but that's exactly where the operator's focus is
mid-QSO. Now only the RIT offset row itself is skipped; text-field word nav is
overridden only while RIT is engaged.

The right-click "Update from QRZ" only mapped QTH (city), name, state, county,
grid and zones — the street address and a few other fields QRZ returns were
dropped, so it looked half-updated next to the edit window's Fetch button.
Aligned it to fill the same set: address, email, qsl_via and lat/lon too.
