Cloudlog v2.8.18 Release Notes
This release brings a complete modern overhaul to public visitor pages and OQRS, smarter handling for satellite frequencies and QSO favourites, new public logbook naming options, and much better station location persistence.
🎨 Overhauled Public Visitor Pages & OQRS
- Redesigned Public Interface: A fresh, modern layout for public visitor and OQRS pages featuring a clean hero section, on-air status badges, cleaner statistics cards, and streamlined navigation.
- Custom Public Logbook Names: Added a new optional Public Name field to station logbooks. You can now set a friendly public title for visitor pages without changing or exposing your internal logbook names.
- Slug-Based OQRS & Visitor Routing: Centralised slug resolution across public controllers. OQRS pages now support per-logbook slug routing (e.g.,
/oqrs/my-slug), keeping QSOs properly scoped to the logbook's active stations. - Public Map Confirmation Controls: Added a global options toggle allowing administrators to control whether confirmed status is displayed on public visitor maps.
- Scoped Radio Status: Live radio status on public pages is now properly scoped to the logbook owner.
🛰️ QSO Logging, Satellite & Favourites Upgrades
- Frequency Retention on Mode Changes: Fixed an issue where changing QSO mode or band would overwrite or clear satellite RX frequencies (preventing QO-100 CW favourites from wiping the saved downlink frequency).
- Improved Satellite Favourite Recall: Recaffing a satellite favourite now correctly reloads satellite modes and restores missing QO-100 RX/TX data.
- Custom Naming & Renaming for Favourites: Saving a QSO favourite now prompts you with a modal to set a custom name (up to 45 characters). Existing favourites can also be renamed directly from the menu.
📍 Station Locations & Logbook Management
- Remember Last Station Location: Cloudlog now remembers your last-used station location per logbook and automatically restores it when you switch logbooks.
- Logbook Overview Quick-Switch Wizard: Added a quick-switch wizard to the Logbook Overview page to make moving between active locations effortless.
📝 Diary & Notes Improvements
- Upgraded Image Uploads: Note/diary image upload limits have been increased from 2 MB to 8 MB per image. Included optional GD-based resizing, clearer PHP upload error reporting, UI warning banners, and fixes for image accordion expand/collapse behavior in edit views.
