This update brings a major refresh to our award tracking dashboards, a powerful new way to manage your notes, and several refinements to data handling and UI.
🏆 Advanced Award Tracking (POTA & SOTA)
- Both the POTA and SOTA dashboards have been overhauled to provide a more visual and searchable experience.
- New Mapping Interface: View your worked/activated SOTA summits and POTA parks on an interactive map.
- Advanced Filtering: You can now filter your awards by date, band, and mode, making it easier to track progress toward specific endorsements.
- SOTA Refactor: Optimized the backend logic for SOTA CSV downloads and parsing. The UI has been cleaned up by removing redundant RST columns, focusing on the data that matters for the award.
📝 Enhanced Notes Management
If you haven't enabled Notes, you can find the enable toggle in your account settings
The internal Notes system has transitioned from a simple text list to a full-featured management tool:
- Categories: Organise your operating notes with custom categories.
- Date Filtering: A new date-based search allows you to find notes from specific activations or time periods.
- Editable Timestamps: Notes now support a created_at field, which can be manually edited or backdated when creating or updating a note.
🛠️ Maintenance & Integration
- Data File Maintenance: Added a dedicated UI in the Maintenance section to manually trigger updates for system data files (like park lists or summit databases). These update automatically, but this enables you to force an update
- SimpleFLE Improvements: Added a "Comment" field to SimpleFLE, allowing you to include notes for individual QSOs during fast logging.
- API Stability: Introduced a reusable User-Agent helper for QRZ API requests to improve connection reliability and comply with API best practices.
- SQL Fix: Resolved a database query issue where station_id comparisons were not correctly utilising 'IN' clauses, improving stability for multi-station users.
⚙️ Technical Changes
- Updated package-lock.json for improved dependency security.
