PropDeck Companion V1.0.0

The first release under the PropDeck Companion name — formerly
FT-Logger (last release: FT-Logger 1.3.3). Same app, same author, one
brand: PropDeck.net in the browser, PropDeck
Companion in the shack. Versioning restarts at 1.0.0.

Upgrading from FT-Logger

Replace your old FT-Logger.exe with PropDeck-Companion.exe in the same
folder — config.json, logs and pending queues all carry over untouched.
Nothing about the configuration, protocol, ports or log formats changed.

New in this release

• Check for updates — Settings → OPTIONS asks this page whether a newer
  version is out. Checks only when you click; nothing phones home on its own.

What it does

• Live roster in GridTracker's colour language — yellow callsigns, orange
  countries, cyan grids; news inverts the cell it is about, and someone
  calling you gets the only blue cell on screen.
• Hunting — never-worked DXCC entities and grid squares light up, checked
  live against your master logbook (which is only ever read, never written).
• FT8 Battle forwarding with UTC-day dupe blocking and /name tagging.
• POTA / SOTA / WWFF activation references, spotted live and written into
  your QSO comments.
• QRZ.com & LoTW uploads, local daily ADIF, and up to three ADIF relays
  to other programs.
• PropDeck.net bridge — feeds the live map from the decodes it already
  receives.
