DVM Console NEO 0.6.2

DVM Console NEO 0.6.2

Version 0.6.2 fixes managed configuration handling, Configuration Studio,
keyboard PTT, receive metering, and shutdown recording finalization.

Configuration workflows

• File > Import Codeplug makes the managed-library boundary explicit, while
  Open Recent now lists recently opened managed revisions instead of source
  paths.
• Studio uses file pickers for encryption-key and RID-alias companions. RID
  aliases use one FNE owner chooser and one native Choose file… picker. The
  selected file is copied into that configuration's managed draft, only the
  selected FNE receives a portable reference to the copy, and the original and
  other FNE lists remain unchanged.
• A new configuration can proceed directly from FNE system to channel. Studio
  creates the first zone when needed and creates managed keys.clear and
  aliases.yml companions when their first entries are added.
• Full export uses the current draft's key and alias contents. YAML and copied
  companions are read back byte-for-byte before success is reported. A missing
  optional companion is reported and omitted without preventing the YAML
  export. Sanitized support copies use valid non-secret placeholders for
  removed operational values, so they still pass the normal import validator.
• Import can recover zone entries that were accidentally placed in the YAML
  systems list. The managed copy is repaired with a warning; the imported
  source file is never rewritten.

Studio reliability

• Import, activation, save, reload, and storage-picker completion return to the
  Avalonia UI thread before changing window state.
• Adding, duplicating, or deleting an FNE system no longer leaves duplicate or
  unstable Studio rows. Selection changes no longer feed editor events back
  into collection rebuilds or cause a stack-overflow crash. Duplicated zones
  receive unique channel and stream names, and validation issues open the
  affected stream or field. Undo no longer loses its Redo branch to generated
  editor events while restored bindings settle.
• Invalid hexadecimal key-ID text remains visible as a validation error without
  replacing the previously valid key ID. Read-only documents consistently
  disable key, alias, group, system, stream, and zone mutation controls.
• Channel rows are editable in place for name, destination, mode, DMR slot,
  encryption algorithm, receive-only state, and card size. Inline edits remain
  synchronized with the inspector and use the same validation and Undo/Redo
  history. Name receives the largest flexible share, Destination stays compact
  so Mode and Slot remain usable, and the slot control is hidden on non-DMR
  rows. Studio switches to its compact channel list when the inspector would
  otherwise squeeze those columns below usable widths.
• Zones and channels appear only in the hierarchy beneath their FNE system.
  The FNE Systems page can create the selected system's first zone and channel,
  the whole navigation rail scrolls even when the pointer is over the tree, and
  a selected zone branch remains collapsed when the operator closes it.
• A single Add creates and selects a RID alias row. Its RID and alias update
  in place as they are entered; no extra placeholder row or delete pass is
  required. FNE selection resolves the exact managed alias copy when source
  files share a filename; if the selected FNE has no alias file, Add creates
  its portable managed file and first editable row. Import/replace copies an
  external list into the selected FNE's managed draft, leaves the source and
  other FNEs unchanged, and keeps internal runtime paths out of the RID list.
• Closing a dirty draft offers Save, Discard, or Cancel. If an immutable
  revision commits but materialization or settings reconciliation fails, Studio
  identifies the recoverable revision instead of claiming that nothing was
  saved.
• Studio commits against the managed identity carried by the document being
  edited, so a stale window identity cannot revise a different library entry.
  Saving a new configuration now offers to disconnect and load it immediately;
  added and duplicated FNE systems are present when the session reloads.
• When a restored catalog refers to a revision that is no longer present, the
  managed library repairs the entry from its existing current pointer or newest
  valid revision. An entry with no recoverable revision is deactivated instead
  of crashing application startup.
• Configuration Studio now opens centered within the current display's usable
  working area, including on 1920x1080 displays with Windows desktop scaling.

PTT, receive, and shutdown

• Space PTT remains usable on channel controls. Toggle-mode card PTT and global
  or active-system keyboard PTT remain keyed when the DVM Console
  window loses focus, while physical key release, suspension, and shutdown
  still release transmit state.
• Clicking a channel's visible Release control always unkeys the live
  transmission, including when another PTT source started it or internal source
  state became desynchronized.
• Global and active-system PTT menus mark the currently applied key, including
  the disabled None option.
• The P25 logical-call continuation window is 0.9 seconds, closer to the DMR and
  NXDN windows. FNE client identification now uses NEO_<version>.
• Recording finalization no longer waits out a fixed shutdown grace period after
  work has completed. Blocked finalization remains bounded and cancelable.
• Alert/QCII pattern fields are explicitly labeled Frequency and
  Duration (sec).
• Rapidly changing receive streams no longer let an older stream's decaying
  level blank the current call's audio meter. Configuration Studio uses plain
  numeric text fields, without spinner buttons, for FNE Port, Peer ID, and RID
  aliases. DMR slot selection uses a 1/2 dropdown in both the channel table
  and inspector.
• Live call-history updates and recording-catalog refreshes no longer modify
  the same history collection at once during session teardown.

In-app documentation

The searchable guide now includes Configuration Troubleshooting. Its
Configuration Studio, managed companion, TAR, Event History, tones, audio, and
settings instructions match the current controls and storage behavior.

Safety and compatibility

• Existing 0.6.1 managed configurations and operator settings do not require a
  migration. YAML remains the interoperable import/export format.
• This release does not change FNE packet formats, vocoder payloads, encryption
  signaling, or the supported macOS 14+ and Windows x64 targets.
• Import compatibility repair and shorter P25 logical episode grouping affect
  managed presentation and history behavior; they do not modify the imported
  source file or over-the-wire traffic.
• Automated tests and package checks do not replace live FNE, radio,
  microphone, speaker, Bluetooth, serial PTT, system-wide keyboard PTT, or
  Windows hardware acceptance on the destination systems.

DVMHost/FNE R06A00 or newer is recommended. This software is for personal,
non-commercial, amateur, and educational use and must not be used in
public-safety or life-safety-critical applications.
