HamClock Launcher 4.31

This release bundles HamClock 4.31. The launcher itself is unchanged from 4.30 — this update exists to ship the new HamClock client and its updated User Guide.

What's New in HamClock 4.31

  • APRS support — APRS stations are tracked and drawn on the map, with periodic purging of stale positions
  • HAB and PicoBalloon tracking — follow high-altitude balloon and pico balloon flights alongside your other map data
  • HamAlert integration — surface your HamAlert notifications (requires entering your HamAlert username and password in Setup)
  • New Band Activity pane — see activity across the bands at a glance
  • More X-OTA park highlights in the On The Air pane
  • 630m band support, with the Live Spots menu resizing to fit the band list
  • Rotating titles — separate titles with a semicolon to rotate through as many as six
  • Touchscreen improvements — tooltips now work on touch displays, and OK / Cancel buttons are easier to hit
  • Color-coded WARNING and ERROR messages
  • Updated User Guide covering all 4.31 features, available from the Help menu

Bug Fixes

  • Corrected the X-Ray data source to GOES-18
  • Fixed placement of the config pane
  • Fixed band spacing introduced with 630m; bands are now laid out in four columns
  • APRS colors and menu sizes adjusted; the clock keeps running while a popup is open
  • Shortened an over-long label that did not fit the selection pane

For the complete upstream changelog, see the Open HamClock 4.31.0 release.
