Release Notes — openALE 0.0.2-pre-alpha

Highlights

Your configuration is now always saved. Channels, nets, contacts, and every settings
tab are auto-saved to a single station.state file as you use the app — no more losing
edits depending on which save path happened to run last.

The desktop GUI has a new layout: Command Deck. Radio status, channel, and transmit
controls are now consolidated into one command bar instead of being scattered across the
header. The main panel shows a clear Idle / Calling / Incoming / Linked state with live
link-quality metrics (SINAD, BER, Score, Channel). The waterfall display is smoother and
lighter on CPU/memory.

The mobile setup wizard is more complete. First-run setup now walks through Channels
and Nets, not just Callsign and Radio/Audio, and empty screens (Heard Stations, Contacts,
Messages) now tell you what to do next instead of showing a blank list.

New Features

  • Transmitter power control via Hamlib/CAT — set RF power per channel, with a live manual
    override on the Radio Control panel (both GUIs).
  • Opt-in CAT/rig traffic view in the ALE Log, for diagnosing radio-control issues.
  • Absolute "Received" timestamp shown on Heard Stations and the LQA table (both GUIs).
  • New in-app Help / setup-guide page, linked from both GUIs' Help buttons.
  • Word-lock ("Sync") indicator simplified to a single clear pill plus a "Decoding" overlay.

Fixes

  • Settings, channels, and nets no longer silently fail to save.
  • Net renames now actually take effect in the core, instead of being reverted on the next
    settings sync.
  • The Test Channel panel no longer shows stale results from a previous peer when reopened.
  • Heard Stations' expanded details no longer collapse every time the list refreshes (mobile).
  • The ALE log no longer gets spammed with repeated "sounding on/off" lines.

Other

  • Remaining German UI strings in the mobile GUI translated to English.

This is a pre-alpha build. Expect rough edges; see CHANGELIST.md for the full commit-level
changelog.
