OscarWatch Tracker - Version 0.8.12
Stability and Crash Fixes
- Critical Tracking Crash Resolved Addressed and resolved an unhandled application crash reported by operators during live satellite tracking cycles. This fix safely isolates processing errors under the hood, ensuring rock-solid stability in the shack or out in the field.
Frequency Panel Dark Theme and Layout Polish
-
Dedicated Dark Mode Styling The frequency overlay control panel has been wrapped in a dedicated dark theme. This includes bespoke styling for the numeric spinners, tailored font sizing, and matched alignment properties. The text entry controls for live look-ahead lead time and lead gain now adapt cleanly to this look for better visibility in low-light shacks.
-
Expanded Wide-Passband Frequency Offsets Increased the maximum manual RX and TX offset limits to +/-20 kHz. This gives you plenty of extra room to nudge your frequencies when tracking high-Doppler transponders or wide-passband satellites such as RS-44. The system automatically clamps any entries to these boundaries to prevent out-of-range tuning anomalies.
Rotator and Parking Controls
- Forced Rotator Parking Commands Refined the rotator engine to allow manual "Force Park" commands even if the software already considers the array to be at its home position. Clicking park now resets any active tracking hold or last-known position memory and re-sends the hardware positioning strings directly to the controller, which is ideal if you need to resync your physical rotators after an emergency stop.
Localisation
- Spanish Language Support Added full Spanish user interface translation support, expanding the software's accessibility for operators worldwide.
