v0.8.1

v0.8.1

A documentation release: the Notfunk manual is rebuilt from one very long
page into a guided manual for operators, with an introduction to how an
emergency message travels in Vienna, a tutorial, and annotated pictures of the
form. The tools themselves behave exactly as in v0.8.0.

Notfunk-Meldebuch manual

• Structure: the manual is a start page with sub pages (introduction,
  tutorial, preparation, operation, message, logbook, printout, backup,
  notices, keyboard) instead of one long page. The address
  /tools/notfunk-anleitung/ is unchanged, so the link in the tool and its
  help still works.
• Introduction: how an emergency message travels from the Lichtinsel via
  the K-Vorsorgestandort and the radio station in the Einsatzleitstelle to the
  Meldesammelstelle of the Kriseneinsatzstab, and how the reply travels back,
  as a diagram. Radio amateurs are messengers: their part ends at the handover
  to the Meldesammelstelle, where they only note the reference. Reading back
  is recommended, not mandatory; every transmitted message belongs in the
  logbook. Based on the Richtlinie Notfunk Teil 2 – Wien of the Notfunkreferat.
• Tutorial: one example from taking down the message at a Lichtinsel to
  receiving the reply, with new screenshots.
• Annotated forms: pictures of the form in the tool and of the empty paper
  form with labelled fields, grouped by colour (and named in a legend).
• Paper as a fallback: the manual explains how to be prepared for
  paper-only operation, and the empty form can be downloaded as a PDF
  straight from the manual.
• Offline preparation: installing the tool as an app is the recommended
  way to run without internet, the single offline file for a USB stick the
  second; opening the address in a browser while offline is not reliable.
• Reference rewritten in plain language: implementation details such as
  storage, limits and file formats were removed.
• English edition of the introduction and tutorial, linked from the
  overview page.
• Sources the manual relies on are listed as links.

All tools

• The manuals of the standalone bundle now have a page font and colours
  (they showed the browser defaults before).
• The overview page lists the English edition of the Notfunk manual.
• Stray files in the repository root (test leftovers) were removed.

Limitations

• The message format of the Notfunk-Meldebuch is still a draft and not agreed
  with the Notfunkreferat Wien and the Meldesammelstelle.
• The new manual pages were not checked with a screen reader, in forced
  colours or in the dark theme. The annotated pictures carry the explanation
  in their alternative text and shrink on a narrow screen (a tap opens them
  at full size).
• Some linked sources were not opened while writing (SKKM guideline, ÖBFV
  E-31, the Lichtinsel articles, the W-KKG gazette); the Datenschutzgesetz
  link goes to the RIS home page. The steps to install the app in the
  different browsers are general guidance, not tried on every system.
• The English edition has no full reference, and the diagram labels are
  German in both editions.
• The tool still asks for MESZ or MEZ when a time falls into the repeated hour
  of the autumn clock change; the manual leaves this out on purpose, and
  #153 proposes to remove the
  choice.

Before updating

• Nothing to do: stored data, backups and exports are unchanged, and the
  tools' behaviour is unchanged.
• Sites that render docs/ in their own theme (such as oe1ebg.at): the Notfunk
  manual is now the directory docs/notfunk-anleitung/ (index.md and sub
  pages, links relative to each source file, pictures as ../img/…), the
  release stages the empty form as downloads/notfunk-vordruck.pdf, and
  docs/static/ has one more committed picture. The URL
  ../notfunk-anleitung/ stays.

Technical details

• Notfunk manual rework:
  #152; see the
  README ("Embedding
  in a site") and the
  Notfunk README.
• Open follow-up: #153 (time
  zone choice in the repeated hour).
