Log for Linux 0.2.0
Contest scoring awareness: the logbook now knows who counts in a contest, not just who is a dup. Contest-proven again — this exact app logged and submitted a full WAE DX Contest CW 2026 entry, accepted by the DARC robot.
Highlights
- Country resolution from cty.dat (AD1C table bundled; drop a newer snapshot into
~/.local/share/log-for-linux/cty.datto update it) - Per-contest QSO validity: WAE-style EU↔DX-only scoring, EU-only contests, zero-point own country — the verdict line tells you before you log ("No contest QSO — EU station (Finland)" vs "New call from Czech Republic")
- Invalid-QSO verdicts (
INV) also flow to skimmer-for-linux through the duplicate lookup service - Three new contest presets with rule-checked exchanges: WAE DX, CVA DX, SARTG WW RTTY (SSB/RTTY editions: edit the ADIF id suffix in the dialog)
- Worked-B4 / dup verdicts follow the active contest scope — a call worked in another log or contest is still new in this one
- Validity rules are backfilled into contests created with earlier versions
- Fix: ADIF export now exports only the open log (main log or the active contest) instead of the whole store — no more duplicate floods when uploading to QRZ.com and friends
