adiftools release 0.1.10

This is an official release version.

Release Date

Thank you to the two people who reported issues related to ADIF parsing.

ADIF record parsing no longer assumes a fixed order for fields. Fields such as CALL, QSO_DATE, TIME_ON, etc., can now appear in any order inside a record and will still be parsed correctly.
read_adi, read_adi_streaming, and parallel parsing have been updated to detect records in an order-agnostic, case-insensitive way and to properly identify record terminators (<EOR>).

This change improves compatibility with ADIF files produced by various logging software that do not guarantee a fixed field order.

More robust detection of ADIF records: the parser now uses case-insensitive presence checks and endswith('<EOR>') to avoid false negatives when CALL is not the first token in a record.
Streaming and parallel processing paths were aligned with the same detection logic to ensure consistent behavior for large files.

Fixed an issue where records were ignored if the CALL field did not appear at the start of the line. This caused some QSOs to be missed when fields were reordered by logging software.

Special thanks to Stefano IZ0MJE for reporting the field-order parsing issue and proposing an approach.

No special upgrade steps required. Existing code using read_adi, read_adi_streaming, or read_adi_parallel should continue to work and will benefit from improved parsing robustness.

adiftools can be installed or updated from PyPI:

pip install adiftools

pip install -U adiftools

If you encounter an error related to subprocess, try installing wheel with pip install wheel.
