Change Log

Unreleased

Added

  • Pin-pointing of QTH on grey line map.
  • Default logbook.
  • Continued support for Python 2.x modules. Thanks to @gaionim (IU2HDS) for this patch.
  • Auto-filling of the Mode field using Hamlib.
  • Glade design of main window and dialogs.
  • Exporting of logs in the Cabrillo format.
  • More unit tests.
  • More tooltips.
  • The option to enter the frequency in Hz, kHz, MHz, or GHz in the Add/Edit Record dialog. Frequencies are still displayed in MHz in the logbook.
  • Record/QSO count feature.

Changed

  • Using username and port information (in addition to hostname) when creating an identifier for a DX cluster bookmark.
  • Pressing the Return key after entering a DX cluster command will send the command to the Telnet server.
  • Pressing the Return key after entering QSO information via the record dialog will add the QSO to the log.
  • Moved all unit tests to a dedicated tests directory.
  • Duplicate QSOs are now defined as having the same CALL, QSO_DATE and TIME_ON values. FREQ and MODE are no longer considered.
  • Improved the runtime performance of duplicate QSO removal.
  • Logs are now printed on a landscape page so that more QSO details can be included. The page layout has been improved.

Fixed

  • Any characters in the DX cluster server's reponse that cannot be decoded are now replaced with a replacement marker in the DX cluster frame.
  • Fixed the QSO index used in the Gtk.ListStore. Just before a QSO is added with add_record it was assumed that it's index would be max(rowid)+1, which is not always the case. This led to inconsistencies between the Gtk.ListStore and the database. Indices used in the Gtk.ListStore are now obtained directly from the database after insertion.
  • Direction of sorting.
  • IOTA data retrieval when looking up callsigns using hamqth.com.
  • Use percent-encoding when connecting to a callsign database.

0.3 - 2016-05-28

Added

  • Support for callsign lookups using the HamQTH.com database.
  • Added a table of keyboard shortcuts to the documentation.
  • More helpful messages regarding missing dependencies.
  • Added the option of merging the COMMENT field with the NOTES field when importing records from an ADIF file.
  • Bookmarking of Telnet-based DX cluster servers.

Changed

  • Ported the codebase over to Python 3 using 2to3 (thanks to Neil Johnson).
  • The Summary page now also contains the total number of QSOs in the logbook.
  • Improvements to docstrings.
  • Various code cleanups (thanks to András Veres-Szentkirályi).
  • Brought the list of valid modes up-to-date.
  • Updated the list of bands and their frequency ranges.
  • Configuration files are now written to ~/.config to keep the user's home directory uncluttered.
  • The codebase is now compliant with the PEP 8 Python coding conventions (except for E501,F403,E226,E402,W503).
  • Updated the documentation.

0.2 - 2015-03-07

Added

  • Travis CI configuration file for automated building and testing.
  • Button to add the current date and time.
  • Option to specify default values for the power and mode fields.
  • Allow UTC time to be used when creating records.
  • Allow prefixes/suffixes to be removed when looking up a callsign (e.g. "MYCALL" would be extracted from "F/MYCALL/QRP").

Changed

  • Migrated the documentation to a Sphinx-based setup.
  • Separate the Create and Open functionality for logbooks.
  • In the record dialog, the labels "TX RST" and "RX RST" have been changed to "RST Sent" and "RST Received". The underlying ADIF field names remain the same (RST_SENT and RST_RCVD).

Fixed

  • Logging debug messages to file.
  • 'Z' characters in callsigns were being ignored when importing ADIF files. This has now been fixed.
  • Specifed the Agg backend for matplotlib to workaround a bug in Ubuntu 14.10.
  • Sorting the date and time fields in the correct chronological order.
  • Removal of duplicate records.
  • Error handling when looking up a callsign that does not have an entry on qrz.com.
  • Handling of ConfigParser.NoOptionError exceptions when trying to load preferences.
  • Handling of UnicodeDecodeError exceptions when parsing the output from DX cluster servers.

0.1 - 2014-03-22

Changed

  • The 'Notes' column is no longer automatically resized.
  • The BEL character is now handled properly in the DX cluster tool.
  • QSOs can now be sorted in the correct chronological order.

Fixed

  • Fixed the ADIF export functionality. Previously, only markers were being written and the actual record data was being skipped.

Added

  • Basic logging functionality.
  • Import and export in ADIF format.
  • Log printing.
  • Basic support for Hamlib.
  • Telnet-based DX cluster support.
