Release note – Version 2.35.1.0

  • [FIX] Fixed issue with SFTP page upload always used instead of FTP after first config save.
    If affected, please fix performing a simple config save.
  • [FIX] Fixed issue with LOTW data download that are not correctly parsing formally incorrect QSO mode “DATA” and “SSB”

Release note – Version 2.35.0.0

  • [NEW] Added SUBMITTED and GRANTED search capability on all QSO grids for specific award code
  • [NEW] Added support for SDC Skimmer spots
  • [NEW] Added capability to download LOTW QSL data when user has multiple logbook DXCC Award accounts.
  • [NEW] LOTW digital confirmations and paper QSL can be independently downloaded (digital, paper or both) and not only ALWAYS DIGITAL + optional QSL confirmations.
  • [NEW] Added support for external club membership lists (settings – user preferences). Check user manual!
  • [NEW] Added new “security settings” menu in program configuration. This will allow Log4OM to work with external sources that doesn’t comply with latest TLS 1.2 security encryption protocol (by selecting other specific security protocols allowed) and eventually working with services that exposes expired or wrong web certificates. This may solve some integration troubles and errors reported in the log at the cost of a slightly increased risk during access to those external sources. Basically some club membership lists are hosted on a webserver with an expired cert and won’t be updated with default settings. Always check the application log if something seems not updated correctly!
  • [NEW] Added support to SFTP on webpage upload
  • [NEW] Added option in cluster alert to skip alert for WORKED callsigns (works for same call worked in the same band/emission type/mode of the current spot)
  • [NEW] Added new “Perform DB maintenance” menu under “Settings -> Maintenance” that will make a reorganization of the main database (SQLITE ONLY), award database and external data database, reducing size when possible and reorganizing data for better performances on HIGHLY fragmented databases (do not use too often).
  • Updated code for IOTA automatic data download, as changed by IOTA program.
  • Revised code that handle image view in external window
  • [FIX] Fixed an issue on alerts when multiple confirmation methods were selected in “not worked” alert

  • [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.

  • 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)

  • [FIX] Fixed non standard callsign management in lookup engine
  • [FIX] Fixed serial keyer parameter saving options

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).
