2.7.6
Cloudlog Version 2.7.6 Update Notes
We've just released an update packed with improvements to make Cloudlog more reliable, secure, and easier to use. This update focuses on fixing bugs, making external logging services (like LoTW) work better, and adding some nice quality-of-life enhancements.
Here’s what’s new:
✨ New Features & User Experience
- Smarter Contact Editing: When you edit a contact (QSO) and type in a callsign, the form will now automatically look up and fill in the DXCC, CQ/ITU zones, continent, and state for you. This should make editing logs much faster!
- Better Date Formatting: The date displayed in the footer (at the bottom of the page) will now correctly use the date format you chose in your user settings (e.g., DD/MM/YYYY vs. MM/DD/YYYY).
- New Filter Option: In the "Most Worked" view, you can now filter by "1+" minimum QSOs, giving you more flexibility.
📡 External Services (LoTW, eQSL, ClubLog)
- More Reliable LoTW Downloads: We've made syncing with LoTW (Logbook of The World) much more robust. If a download fails because of a temporary network issue, Cloudlog will now automatically retry a few times. This means fewer failed syncs and less hassle for you.
- Correct Uploading After Edits: We fixed a bug where editing a contact wouldn't mark it for re-upload. Now, if you edit a QSO, it will be correctly re-uploaded to LoTW and eQSL to ensure your external logs stay up-to-date.
🔒 Security & Stability
- Improved Award Data: We've added much stricter validation when you enter VUCC gridsquares and bands. This prevents errors and keeps the database clean.
- More Accurate VUCC Searches: We've fine-tuned the search function for VUCC awards to provide more accurate results.
- Under-the-Hood Security: We've improved the way the application searches the database for award information, making it more secure and well-maintained.
