Thanks to Andy Marshall and Grzegorz for quickly reporting the issue with the transmission in the 0907 version. Andy was especially impressive—he figured out that it was caused by the sample rate, which is amazing. After checking the code, I realized I hadn't implemented support for 24K and 48K sample rates, which is why there was no sound during transmission. My apologies!

2025/9/3 V72_250903 修正Grid Miss
2025/9/1 V72_250901 我忘了按送出，晚上來補apk檔案
因為Google要求支援新的記憶體模式，但是原來的FT8CN的FT8CN.SO原始檔案並不在GitHub中，我無法重新編議這個.so檔案。寫了信詢問原始作者，可能他太忙了，沒有得到回應，於是進入了我思考了好久的步驟，重新製作一個FT8TW的核心，原始作者為了效能，把主要FT8編碼解碼的程式都用C來寫，我也來試著重新製作一次，我發現FT8的演算法真的很聰明，很簡潔。
改寫之後，或許是錯覺吧，我覺得比原來的FT8CN解出來的資訊量更多。
因為是新的開始，所以可能初期會有很多愚蠢的Bug，請原諒。
似乎沒有人會看這個說明，所以我就拿來當成我的工作日誌吧，也不再翻譯成英文了。

v0.93d(UAT) (Archived for issue tracking)
2025/8/16 V0.93d250816
1.Fixing QSO Flow
2025/8/10 V0.93d20250810
1.修改自動CQ流程
a.如果設定不自動CQ，只會針對呼叫自己的訊號回應
b.如果設定自動CQ，則會依照對方CQ的距離、訊號強度、地區等，依照自動CQ策略選擇最高者
c.如果對方呼叫自己，仍然最優先
d.如果目前在呼叫中，則將前述對象列入稍後呼叫清單中
2.新增SOTA/POTA顏色(FT8Message、CallingListAdapter)
3.修改呼叫視窗界面，調整顯示位置
4.每次自己的呼叫，也寫入SWL Log
5.開啟APP校正時間，只要執行一次，不要每次畫面翻轉執行
6.繼續調整QSO流程
1.Modify the automatic CQ process:
a. If automatic CQ is disabled, the app will only respond to signals calling your own callsign.
b. If automatic CQ is enabled, it will select the top candidate according to the automatic CQ strategy, based on factors such as the other station’s CQ distance, signal strength, and region.
c. If another station is calling you, that always takes top priority.
d. If you are currently in the middle of a call, the above candidates will be added to a “call later” list.
2.Add SOTA/POTA colors (FT8Message, CallingListAdapter).
3. Modify the calling window interface and adjust the display position.
4. For each of your calls, also write it to the SWL Log.
5. Enable time synchronization in the app, only execute once, not every time the screen rotates.
6. Continue adjusting the QSO process."

2.新增SOTA/POTA顏色(FT8Message、CallingListAdapter)
2025/7/30 V0.93d20250803
1.Adjustment: In compliance with Android requirements, screen orientation can no longer be restricted. The Grid Map orientation lock has been removed.
2.Adjustment: Renamed the backend interface Monitor to Debug Monitor, and added some user interface enhancements.
3.Adjustment: Updated the error message when recording fails to avoid misleading users into thinking it's always a permission issue.
4.New Feature: In QSO logic, once both signal reports are exchanged, the QSO is immediately counted as completed. However, the program will still continue to send the 73 message.
5.New Feature: Automatically sync time after startup and notify the user. This is because GPS time relies on the phone’s auto time sync setting, and if it’s disabled, the GPS time may be incorrect.
1.調整:Android 要求不可以限制螢幕橫放，所以取消Grid Map限制
2.調整:將後台介面Monitor改名為Debug Monitor，並增加一些使用者介面。
3.調整:修改無法錄音時的訊息，避免使用者誤會都是權限問題。
4.新增:QSO邏輯，只要接雙方訊號報告交換完成，立刻計入通聯，但是程式還是繼續會發送73。
5.新增:啟動後自動同步時間，並提醒使用者，因為GPS時間會抓手機自動同步時間設定，如果未開啟，會造成GPS時間錯誤。
