HamClock Launcher 4.28
This release bundles HamClock 4.28, which brings new features and bug fixes from the [Open HamClock 4.28.0 release](https://github.com/openhamclock/hamclock/releases/tag/v4.28.0). No changes have been made to the launcher itself; this update exists to bundle the new client and its updated User Guide.
🆕 Highlights from HamClock 4.28
- Satellite alerts via hams.at — upcoming pass alerts sorted newest to oldest, with hover details and satellite co-visibility so you can see when two stations have the same satellite in view
- The seven classical planets — solar system bodies can now be displayed, with popup details for each
- New Mesh Mon pane for monitoring mesh network activity
- New RSG pane — opened by clicking the NOAA SpaceWx pane
- ONTA improvements, including PARKS retrieval that now behaves the same way as regular ONTA retrieval
- Larger, more realistic ADS-B aircraft icons on the map, plus a refreshed icon set throughout
- Three-button mouse support — the middle and right buttons are now both usable
- Updated User Guide covering all 4.28 features — the new
HamClockKey.pdfis bundled with this release
🐛 Notable Bug Fixes
- Tropical weather rotation fixes, and corrected lat/lon handling so tropical weather now displays in all map projections
- Dismissing a planet popup no longer erases the map overlay; popups now wait for an in-progress map sweep to finish before appearing
- The status line continues to update while a message popup is open
- Corrected the install-instructions link on page 9
- Irrelevant build warnings are now suppressed
