chore: release v0.24.1

The input was bound straight to the number and committed on every keystroke, so
it could not be EMPTIED: clearing it yields "", Number("") is 0, 0 fails the
"> 0" guard, the state never moved, and value={qsoLimit} snapped the old figure
straight back. Going from 200000 down to 100 was a fight against the field — and
read as the setting refusing to persist, which it was not: writeUiPref stores it
and syncPortablePrefs makes the database authoritative at boot. It also wrote
the preference once per keystroke (1, then 10, then 100).

Raw text in local state, committed on blur or Enter, per the controlled-input
note in CLAUDE.md.

It could not be emptied — clearing it put the old number straight back — so going from a large figure down to a small one was a fight against the field, and looked like the setting refusing to stick. Type freely now and press Enter (or click away) to apply. The value was already saved and travels with your data folder; only the box was in the way.",
+      "Memory: the awards cache is given back once you stop using it. Opening the Awards panel loads the whole logbook into memory and kept it there for the rest of the session — a few tens of megabytes on a small log, but several hundred on a large one, and it was never released because the cache only expired when the logbook changed. It is now dropped after fifteen minutes without use, and the memory returned to Windows. Fifteen minutes on purpose: working through your awards keeps it warm, since reloading a large log takes seconds. The log also records the heap size each time the cache is built or released, so a memory report can be answered with a figure instead of a guess.",
+      "Performance: the DX-cluster console no longer drags the whole interface down. Every line of traffic — spots, MOTD, everything — was applied to the screen one at a time, and an RBN feed alone sends hundreds a second: that meant two copies of a 2000-line buffer and a redraw for each one, whether the console was open or not. Lines are now grouped and applied five times a second. The difference is most visible on an older PC, where this alone could make the app crawl.",
+      "Update: \"stage current exe: … Accès refusé\" is fixed. Two causes, both handled. The previous build was always staged under the same name, so one leftover that could not be deleted — an antivirus holding it open is the usual reason — blocked every later update, permanently, with no way out but deleting the file by hand; the staging name is now unique. And when the running program cannot be renamed at all, which some endpoint protection deliberately prevents, OpsLog no longer gives up: it leaves the new build beside the old one and swaps them after closing, when its own file is an ordinary file again. If even that fails, OpsLog restarts on the current version rather than leaving you with nothing, and the download is kept for the next attempt.",

Both the map docked beside the tables and the per-band cards in the Band map tab were locked at a fixed width, so an operator watching a busy band could not give the map more room — nor take it back for the log. Grab the edge to resize, double-click it to go back to the default. The width is remembered and travels with your data folder, like the other layout settings. In the tab, one width applies to every card: they sit side by side, and columns of different widths read as a mistake."

Il est désormais abandonné après quinze minutes sans usage, et la mémoire rendue à Windows. Quinze minutes volontairement : parcourir tes diplômes le garde chaud, recharger un gros journal coûtant plusieurs secondes.

Les lignes sont désormais groupées et appliquées cinq fois par seconde. La différence se voit surtout sur un PC ancien, où cela suffisait à faire ramer l'application.",

Et quand le programme en cours d'exécution ne peut pas être renommé du tout, ce que certaines protections empêchent volontairement, OpsLog n'abandonne plus : il laisse la nouvelle version à côté de l'ancienne et les échange après sa fermeture, quand son propre fichier redevient un fichier ordinaire. Si même cela échoue, OpsLog redémarre sur la version actuelle plutôt que de te laisser sans rien, et le téléchargement est conservé pour la prochaine tentative.",
