REQUIRES .NET FRAMEWORK 4.8

• [NEW] Added native MariaDB support
• [NEW] Improved EDIT QSO screen. Now it’s possible to attach QSL images and other pictures (other than eQSL) to the QSO and view them (images only)
• [NEW] Added new option in KEYER ENGINE to allow ESC button to clear callsign too when aborting TX. New default behaviour is NO (unchecked). Check program settings.
• [NEW] Configuration file is now saved also in documents folder. That will help with users that have troubles with windows that prevents writing on the ROAMING folder. Configuration will be searched in the user folder, then in the backup folder and, if both fails, in the document folders (if at least one config was saved).
• Map drag is now possible using LEFT mouse button instead of RIGHT one.
• Removed dependancies to EPPLUS commercial package used as nonCommercial (Excel export) and moved to a LGPL package.
• [FIX] Fixed Antenna bearing and elevation not preserved when locked. Removed some unused locks
• [FIX] Fixed some random issues on user interface
• [FIX] Alert notification issue on not confirmed band/mode/both. Added a new notification threshold (-1, notify all spots that matches)

• [NEW] Added new button on main UI top bar to quickly open the “fast input” screen
• [NEW] Added load/save preset on ADIF / CSV export
• [NEW] Added basic cluster reconnection capabilities in case of unexpected disconnections
• [NEW] Sometime windows prevents correct CONFIG.JSON save on disk. Added a feature that tries to recover the last_valid_config.json file if main config.json file is missing. If last valid config is not available the application tries to recover the latest config in the default backup folder.
• [NEW] Added a “reference migration tool” (massive and single) to allow users to massively update their award references (reference type award only). Find it in “utilities/award manager” top bar menu and then inside the “utilities” menu. Works for both MY and COUNTERPART references
• Improved CQ/ITU handling and identification on ADIF import
• Improved award import DXCC override mechanism to better perform (related to AwardOverride.csv configuration file that provide correct DXCC data when missing on import source)
• CTY file is now used also when importing a QSO even if the QSO has a date different than today but in the last 30 days.
• Fixed an issue (unexpected format change) in IOTA data file format that prevented correct update of the IOTA reference file
• [FIX] Fixed non standard callsign management in lookup engine
• [FIX] Fixed serial keyer parameter saving options

• [NEW] Added a simple CW TRAINING module in VIEW menu, to be used during poor propagation time 😊
• [NEW] Added support for CLOUDLOG direct uploads. Check program settings – Applications region to set your personal data.
• [NEW] Added support for SERIAL CW Keyer. Select SERIAL KEYER in Program settings to use the new keyer engine. Keyer supports separate COM ports for key and ptt, if necessary.
• [NEW] Added “repeat” function to CW Keyer macros. Use “<n>” string anywhere in the row to repeat the whole text n times (n between 2 and 10)
• Small cosmetic changes in labels
• CW Keyer internal optimizations
• [FIX] Fixed many CHAT user interface issues
• [FIX] Fixed an issue on CQ/ITU zones when the info is not provided as part of the default dataset from external sources. Now alternative info are used, if available.

Version 2.31 is released in memory of Doug Munday NN7D, a good friend of the Log4OM team and great support for us, who passed away in 2024. Ciao Doug, you will be missed, but not forgotten.

• [NEW] Increased number of award references selectable in the QSO list from 2 to 6
• [NEW] Added spotter country in the spot e-mail alert
• [NEW] Wall clock improved with more info
• [NEW] Help menu – DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN has now a new “JT CHECK” screen that allow users to identify issues on JT communications and perform a checkup of the received data during communication.
• [NEW] Help menu – DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN has now a new “WARNING” screen that allow users to check external lookup source login issues and QSO upload issues. More services will be added to this screen in future.
• Improved TCP keep-alive function
• Optimizations in Log4OM check version settings. Now the call to the home website is always performed in order to recover system messages. Country of the caller as set in Log4OM and actual program version is now always retrieved for statistical purposes (not only when check for updates was active).
• [FIX] Fixed winkeyer issue that happened sometime when transmitting, skipping bits. (Thanks to a good hint from a smart user 😊)

• [FIX] Cluster map stopped working on some systems

• [NEW] Optimized name retrieval parsing routine for HAMQTH data (now NICK prevails on ADR_NAME field, that could be missing)
• [NEW] Cluster filter option added allow users to filter out nearby spots
• [NEW] METAR settings interface has been updated to fit new provider capabilities
• Enabled callsign removal from alert management
• Cluster throttle is enabled only after 130” from cluster parser initialization to avoid throttling cluster in normal startup conditions (not on skimmers)
• Cluster throttle now inhibits VOACAP data retrieval from calculated data in order to speed up cluster under stress.
• [FIX] New METAR API’s format from the used provider forced us to completely rewrite METAR engine.
• [FIX] Cluster notifications by e-mail now will use the same “re-notify timings” used by user interface

In order to try keeping Log4OM V1 running in “maintenance mode” we have fixed the Clublog data format, changed by Clublog some weeks ago. Please remember that no new implementations will be made on V1.

• [NEW] When a REFERENCE selected in the reference menu contains a GRIDSQUARE the locator field become a list box and preselects the reference grid, with the original grid kept in the list.
  This is already working when a reference is contained into a SPOT, but external source’s grid is not retrieved.
• [NEW] Added <PRESSURE_MMHG> and <PRESSURE_HP> to CW macro and cloud layer base height if available
• [NEW] Added a parameter in cluster alert configurations to retrigger an alert if the spot appears again with same data (band, mode, callsign) after an user defined amount of minutes. Set ZERO to “never trigger again” during current application session (max value 1440 minutes – one day).
  PLEASE NOTE: Editing alerts will RESET current alert cache, so new spots will trigger all matching alerts once again.
• Code refactoring to standardize some procedures to C# best practices on query parameters, scheduler and other features.
• Hamlib minimum polling rate increased to 500ms to comply with internal hamlib cache engine. Configuration should be saved at least once to get the new value.

• Small optimizations in code (Main UI reactivity on voacap calculations)
• Application cache optimizations
• Small file filter optimizations
• Update lotw functions to use forced “interactive” TQSL approach when running from user interface, rather than using the user option value used to handle “unattended” uploads
• Optimized CAT routines and added a +-500Hz tolerance when application is near one of the “special frequencies” in band plan (eg. FT8 and other) instead of exact match to single Hz

• [FIX] Changed the CLUBLOG archive database parsing engine due to an unexpected change in the CLUBLOG exception file (namespace removal)
• [FIX] Filters now save IN Parameters as expected. Previous filters containing IN parameter should be rebuilt.
• [FIX] Hamlib parameter not saved/reloaded under some circumstances (really???)
• [FIX] Optimized weather METAR parsing function when some data are not available and replaced with “/////”
• [FIX] Fixed an issue that duplicated some figures in award statistics, detailed mode, total values affecting all awards, including LOTW (visualization issue)

The beta version is reported to fix issues on award statistics (Summary details) and “mode flickering” experienced by some users using FTx modes on some specific rigs.

You can get it from the Download page

• [NEW] Added support to legacy TCI message “clicked_on_spot” with target default to VFO A

• [NEW] Unlocked RST fields for direct user entry

• [NEW] UTC Clock can now be set on top as an option (checkbox in the top right corner of the clock area)

• [NEW] Added CALLSIGN filter on cluster screen. Filter work on ALL CLUSTER DATA, ignoring ALL OTHER filters (band, mode, worked, beam direction, LOTW…).

• [NEW] Multiple configurations now shows the configuration “friendly name” along with the id code

• [NEW] When uploading QSO to QRZ.COM, if the station call differs from the one indicated on QRZ logbook the QSO is discarded. Added a new field (on QRZ.COM settings) to force the STATION CALLSIGN to the value accepted by QRZ.COM. This will allow you to load as “<YOUR STATION CALLSIGN>” also QSO made under <YOUR STATION CALLSIGN>/QRP /P or other.

Please note that this option will also update your callsign in the case you made QSO’s with specific country suffixes, so in this case a specific evaluation should be done by the user (eventually loading QSO under a different logbook file)

• [NEW] Memory Reminder interface can now be used to store CURRENT callsign/CAT frequency for a quick recall

• [NEW] Label print has now an option to print VIA <MANAGER CALL> on top of the label (in PRINT page)

• [NEW] Label print code optimization (text placement) and bugfixing. Now CALLSIGN and COMMENT/QSL MESSAGE font size are user configurable. WARN: RECHECK YOUR LABEL PRINT SETTINGS AS THEY MAY HAVE BEEN CHANGED

• Alert management panel sorted alphabetically

• Settings – connections no more enable disable connection by simply clicking over it when selecting them. A confirmation click is now needed to change the status.

• Improved TCI spot data

• Improved screen placement persistence between different versions

• Added some checks to avoid loosing configuration in HAMLIB config under some circumstances

• [FIX] Fixed an issue that prevented load of award filters once set

• [FIX] Fixed an issue on cluster alerts when “any” is selected as source

• [FIX] Cluster band map doesn’t reads correctly preferred bands on main UI

• [FIX] Worked same band/mode group click doesn’t open worked before UI

• [FIX] Fixed issue with form placement between releases (will start working properly from next version as from now the application will preserve static form names)

• [FIX] Fixed issue in reset window positions function

• [FIX] Fixed issue in chat friend list
