Release note – Version 2.25.0

• [NEW] Log4OM is now able to retrieve nearest airport weather data automatically. Please note that updates are performed HOURLY and are related to to your current user profile location NEAREST AIRPORT (it could be some miles away). User can override default selection to find a more suitable airport in relation of his specific position in a 200 km radius. There is a new submenu for that in settings area.

• [NEW] New screen in main user interface bottom area with current weather (F11)

• [NEW] CW macro values based on current weather Wind, temperature, current weather and cloud coverage are now available in different unit where available (°C, °F, Kts, Km/h, m/s)

• [NEW] Statistics on band/mode now show country worked/confirmed status (orange/green) and callsign worked status (cyan/blue)

• [NEW] Qso marked “DO NOT SEND” during label printing phase can be now updated in the “QSL SENT STATUS” of choice (default INVALID) when saving the final status of the QSO after label print. This will allow preventive filtering and prevent them from popping up again on every label print workout.

• [NEW] Qso not printed (routing type not selected for PDF output) can be marked with “QSL SENT STATUS” of choice. This can be useful if you don’t plan to send QSL cards via DIRECT or MANAGER DIRECT and you didn’t print any label for them, by deselecting the relevant option in the output page settings. Now those QSO can be marked to a definitive final status of choice and can be removed from the next search with default searching options (so they will not pop up anymore in the label print extraction unless you decide to work them again).

• [NEW] User can now select between google maps, bing maps and open street maps as world map in main UI. The option is in the PROGRAM SETTINGS

• [NEW] Label printing process can now pre-cache external source retrieval for a more efficient label processing. Caching work in background while you manually check the QSO in the routing screen, resulting in a faster load of the next QSO (if already cached)

• [NEW] Label routing page now features an “auto approve MANAGER / MANAGER BUREAU” QSL’ing, allowing you to concentrate on “no send” and “direct” QSL requests.

• Some optimizations on lag experienced during main UI refresh related to map refresh

• Added centralized update of RST.xml file from log4om.com server

• Small optimizations in grid query interface

• Added support for ADIF fields (import/export):
HAMQTH_QSO_UPLOAD_DATE
HAMQTH_QSO_UPLOAD_STATUS
POTA_REF
MY_POTA_REF
WWFF_REF
MY_WWFF_REF

• Added new band “submm” (300 GHz -> 7500 GHz)

• Support request file now contains program scheduler

• [FIX] Fixed anomaly introduced by a format change in the NOAA planetary index data (Planetary K Index are now expressed as decimal values)

• [FIX] Fixed an issue that wrongly triggered alerts under some situations where MODE is selected

• [FIX] Fixed an issue that overrided the country/cq/itu data on the UI when manually changed by the user

Release note – Version 2.24.0.0

  • [NEW] Added QRZ.COM confirmation download support (storage of the information and usage in managed awards). ADIF Export is actually not available as the ADIF committee has not voted yet.
  • [NEW] User can now select the in depth how to perform a callsign search, while typing or while leaving the callsign field. Leaving has 2 options now, leaving field by clicking elsewhere or tabbing out, or only on tabbing out the callsign field. All options are available in PROGRAM SETTINGS / PERFORMANCE tab.
  • Improved ADIF import routine sensitivity to better support QRZ.COM ADIF output
  • Added dynamic detection of some specific modes in EESDR3 (FT4/FT8/JT65) to correctly identify and show the mode in the main UI
  • Added new fields (readonly) on QSO called GridSquare4 and MyGridSquare4 that contains the 4 digit gridsquare from full field
  • Updated support for N1MM (ContactDelete raised before ContactUpdate)
  • Added support for negative offset
  • Added an option for sending “true frequency” to radio on SPOT click (instead of applying the reversed offset) in CAT settings page.
  • Optimized TCI Cat management
  • [FIX] Fixed supercluster issues
  • [FIX] Fixed gridsquare issues when spot is selected from cluster band map
  • [FIX] Gridsquare value is overwritten by automatic search even with flag not checked in user preferences
  • [FIX] Identified and fixed an issue on hamlib settings save
  • [FIX] Fixed hamlib error level issue in configuration
  • [FIX] Fixed TCI mode switch issue (not detected by radio)
  • [FIX] Fixed an issue on offset management on TCI engine
  • [FIX] Multiple qso delete from QSO grid when using MySQL issue has been fixed. Some optimizations on SQLite side too
  • [FIX] Fixed an issue on label print when destination address doesn’t contains name of the receiver.

Release note – Version 2.23.0.0

  • [NEW] Award statistics can now be filtered by ALL / WORKED / NOT WORKED / WORKED NOT VALIDATED/GRANTED
  • [NEW] On QSO data entry, the PAUSE key will lock/unlock the QSO START TIME, regardless of any other setting or user preference
  • [NEW] Added an option in LABEL PRINT to select QSO where you have RECEIVED a QSL and never answered.
  • [NEW] Added an option in the CONFIRMATION search control (Grid search / Confirmations tab / QSL Management) to select multiple confirmation status:
    • SENT: Single status as before / YES (include YES and QUEUED) / NO (all other status)
    • RECEIVED: Single status as before / YES (include YES) / NO (all other status)
  • [NEW] Added new “mixed search” for confirmations to concurrently search for LOTW/EQSL/PAPER QSL status in AND and OR logic (Grid search / Confirmations tab / QSL Management)
  • Increased cluster custom message max length to 60kb
  • Removed “prefix search” from clublog info search exceptions, that may be less accurate than COUNTRY FILE (CTY) in retrieving correct CQ/ITU zones
  • [FIX] ADIF_VER tag in ADIF export
  • [FIX] Cluster alert that won’t trigger “new one” under some circumstances
  • [FIX] Cluster items always highlighted as “unworked” when cluster worked before setting is not checked in the “configuration – performance” tab. Now if the check is disabled the callsign is not highlighted in any way.
  • [FIX] CQ/ITU zones incorrectly identified in some situations
  • [FIX] QSO start date no more locked when double clicking on cluster while “stop time when leaving callsign field” is set. The time now locks only when user leave the CALLSIGN field with TAB/SHIFT-TAB

Your donations

The donations that you send to us are very gratefully received and they help to offset the cost of server time, annual coding software costs etc, which we could not afford without your assistance.
In the past we have been able to send a personal thank you message to each donor by email because PayPal provided the information, however at the end of 2021 PayPal significantly reduced the information they provide to the recipient, thus making it virtually impossible for us to discover any contact details without a significant amount of detective work.

This is the reason that recently many of you have not been thanked or acknowledged when making donations so we would like to take this opportunity to apologise and to thank you all for your continued support.


Without your donations Log4OM would not be free and probably have ceased to exist, it is your efforts that have made it possible for Log4OM to continue to develop for over 10 years and hopefully far into the future.

Grazie!
