HamClock Launcher 4.29
This release bundles HamClock 4.29, which brings new features and bug fixes from the [Open HamClock 4.29.0 release](https://github.com/openhamclock/hamclock/releases/tag/v4.29.0). The bundled User Guide has been renamed to match upstream; otherwise the launcher is unchanged.
🆕 Highlights from HamClock 4.29
- Political boundaries on the map — country borders, US state lines on zoomed maps, and Canadian province lines are now drawn, making it much easier to place a station at a glance. Borders are on by default
- Customizable border colors — national and state borders can each be set to a color of your choosing
- Borders on Clouds and Terrain maps — boundary overlays can be toggled on or off independently for these map styles
- Snappier satellite tracks — the satellite footprint now refreshes every 5 seconds instead of waiting for the full 30-second map sweep
🐛 Notable Bug Fixes
- Fixed the magnetic bearing in the DX pane, which could display as NaN
- Cleaned up stray pixels in the status line
- Tropical weather no longer bleeds over the edge of the map, and the zoom level display is now consistent
- Storms are now drawn on top of lightning rather than behind it
- Fixed label crowding in the color editor
🆕 Launcher Changes
- The bundled User Guide is now named
HamClockUserGuide.pdf, matching upstream (it was previouslyHamClockKey.pdf). Help → HamClock User Guide works exactly as before
