Release Date

• 2025-08-11

Functions

• Read ADIF file into pandas DataFrame.
• Generate basic and advanced Matplotlib plots from ADIF data.

New Features

• The monthly_band_qso function now supports per-band color assignment for the stacked bar plot. A color table for each BAND is defined inside the function, and any BAND not listed in the table is automatically assigned a unique color from a colormap. This makes the monthly band QSO graph more visually distinct and customizable.
