v0.8.7

v0.8.7 — 2026-06-28

Encrypted Secrets Store

• New internal/secrets package — AES-256-GCM encrypted storage for passwords and API keys
• Secrets live in ~/.config/cqops/secrets.enc (0600 permissions), never in plaintext config.yaml
• Key derived from /etc/machine-id (Linux) or hostname fallback — tied to the machine
• Auto-migration: plaintext secrets from existing configs migrate to encrypted store on first run
• Protected: QRZ password, DXC login, Wavelog API keys (per logbook)
• Graceful degradation: corruption or wrong-machine → app starts normally, warning toast shown, secrets re-enterable via UI
• Zero CPU overhead after startup: decrypted secrets cached in memory

Paste Support

• Clipboard paste now works in the wizard (station form, rig form, QRZ credentials)
• Clipboard paste now works in the logbook editor (inline QSO editing — callsign, comment, notes, etc.)
• Clipboard paste now works in the station editor (logbook chooser → Wavelog section)
• All paste targets respect field formatting (uppercase for callsigns, locator normalization, etc.)

Operator Editor Improvements

• Callsign auto-uppercased on every keystroke (matches StationForm behavior)
• Validation toast shown when leaving callsign field with non-standard value (no digit)
• Validation fires on Tab, Shift+Tab, Up, Down, paste, and save (Ctrl+S)

Toast System Overhaul

• UTF-8 symbols replace text prefixes: ● (info), ✓ (success), ▲ (warning), ✗ (error)
• Symbols are geometric characters, not emoji — render correctly on B&W terminals
• All integration toasts now use Integration: message prefix format:
  • Solar, flrig, Hamlib, Internet, REF, Band Plan, Rig tune
  • QRZ/Wavelog errors, DXC spotted-by notifications

Help Bar — Visible Key Bindings

• Ins (Create) and Del (Delete) now visible in the bottom bar for:
  • Rig config menu, logbook config menu, contest config menu, operator config menu
• Previously only accessible via the ? help overlay

Bug Fixes (New)

• Wavelog upload race: Recent QSOs table now refreshes immediately after upload completes, no longer shows stale "not sent" status
• Favorite recall: frequency now trims trailing zeros (e.g. 14.250000 → 14.25), matching ADIF export formatting
• Config validation: EnsureConfig() now applies encrypted secrets before validating, so the app starts correctly with secrets in secrets.enc

Performance — ~70 optimizations across 5 rounds

• Render caches with signature-based invalidation: contest menu, PSK map, solar panel, help overlay, buildContestLine, helpSuffix
• lipgloss.NewStyle() eliminated from every hot path: root View() clip styles, DXC spacer/table wrappers, logbook editor dialogs/edit forms, confirm/spot dialog buttons, notifications menu, help overlay
• fmt.Sprintf replaced with strings.Builder+strconv in all cache keys: PSK Reporter, BPL views, logbook editor, QSO form path row, DXC filter info
• DXC: filter-aware spot cache with in-memory raw cache, pre-allocated query slices, strconv.FormatFloat for frequency format, formatDXCSpotTime() avoids time.Format
• PSK Reporter: async DB loading, cached spot map markers, table rowStyle caching
• BPL: precomputed line lists at startup, bplFreqStr()/bplBwStr() helpers using strconv
• RecentQSOs: pre-computed tier max widths at init(), O(1) tier lookup
• flrig: 5 goroutines → sequential XML-RPC calls (~10,800 fewer goroutine spawns per 3h session)
• Toast dedup (2s window), Active() dirty-flag cache, overlay content cache
• Other: invariant styles promoted to package-level vars, pre-compiled regexps, wizard formBox style cache, logbook download progress message cache

Code Quality — ~30 fixes across 3 rounds

• Error handling: solar parse errors now logged, tune verify errors logged, import_validate errors include callsign context, WSJT-X event overflow warning
• Refactoring: 130-line lookup result switch extracted from Update() to handleLookupResultMsg(), shared handleTuneResult() for DXC/BPL tunes, dxcCycleFilter()/dxcCycleFilterBack() generic filter cycling, clearQRZFields() reused
• Default host/port constants in config/, deprecated backend field now warns, FriendlyError handles all HTTP codes
• Nil guard on cycleActiveContest(), WSJT-X toast nil guard

Features

• Wider Recent QSOs table when solar panel active — shows Operator + WL columns on ≥166-col terminals
• map.go → map_ascii.go clarity rename

Bug Fixes

• WSJT-X status dot now turns green immediately on connect (cache key missing wsjtx.online)
• DXC/BPL tune now works when WSJT-X is listening but not transmitting (wsjtx.online → wsjtx.tx)
• Rig connect toasts suppressed on reconnect loops (vfoWarned flag)
• Toast overlay no longer caches full composite (was hiding content on screen switch)
• nfpm.yaml fixed: removed invalid glibc depends, unnecessary libsqlite3-0 recommends
• build.ps1 fixed: removed invalid GOARCH=armhf

Tests

• store/migrations_test.go — migration application + idempotency tests
• internal/rotor/rotor_test.go — Status zero-value test

Packaging & Scripts

• uninstall.sh now matches install-specific PATH line instead of deleting any line containing "cqops"
• installer/cqops.nsi comment no longer hardcodes version
• Backup file build/cqops.exe~ removed

v0.8.6

v0.8.6 — 2026-06-24

Multi-Operator & Club Station Support

• Operator profiles in config (callsign + name), per-logbook active operator
• Ctrl+O hot-swap through configured operators, space-toggleable in station form
• Operator menu (create/edit/delete) with validation and all-logbook cascade
• WSJT-X auto-log preserves WSJT-X operator; warns on mismatch with active operator
• Wizard auto-creates operator entry from callsign during first-run setup

Hamlib Rigctld Backend & Rotor Control

• Backend-agnostic rig architecture: flrig (HTTP) and hamlib rigctld (TCP) via shared RigClient interface
• Hamlib rigctld support: frequency, mode, VFO, split, power with graceful VFO name query fallback for Xiegu radios
• Hamlib rotctld rotor control backend with TUI integration (azimuth, elevation, stop)
• Per-rig rotor config in rig presets (hamlib host/port)
• VFO mode auto-detection for split-capable radios

Windows Installer (NSIS)

• installer/cqops.nsi — Start Menu shortcuts, PATH integration, Control Panel uninstall entry, license page, solid LZMA compression
• scripts/build-installer.ps1 — local build with auto .ico generation from cqops.png via ImageMagick
• Shortcut targets .exe directly; Windows Terminal shows embedded icon in tab/taskbar

Linux Packages (nfpm)

• nfpm.yaml — deb, rpm, and archlinux (pkg.tar.zst) for amd64 + arm64
• installer/cqops.desktop — freedesktop entry with enriched keywords
• scripts/build-packages.sh — local cross-platform package build

Embedded App Icon & Console Icon

• winres/winres.json — go-winres config with icon, manifest (DPI-aware, long-path, Win7+), version metadata
• cmd/cqops/rsrc_windows_*.syso — compiled Windows resources (icon + manifest)
• Runtime setConsoleIcon() via Win32 API — Windows Terminal tab shows CQOps icon

Error Persistence

• Top-level recover() in main.go pauses on panic/startup failure so the terminal stays open

WSJT-X Fixes

• QsoLoggedMessage (field-based) now constructs ADIF and saves — no more silently dropped QSOs
• WSJT-X auto-logged QSOs now inherit ContestID so they appear in RecentQSOs when a contest is active

Bug Fixes (Audit)

• Fixed nil map panic when saving operator to uninitialized Operators map
• Fixed config.Upgrade() not stamping State.Version (was empty stub)
• Fixed invalid DROP INDEX IF EXISTS in SQLite migrations; added dedup DELETE before DXC UNIQUE index
• Fixed WSJT-X unsafe.Pointer usage with recover() and Kind check
• Fixed Wavelog AllDuplicates detection: iterates all Messages, defaults to false when empty
• Fixed DXC goroutine leak: stopCh checks in time.Sleep goroutines, exponential reconnect backoff
• Fixed ListAllQSOs OOM risk: internal pagination (500 per page)
• Fixed toast unbounded growth: capped at 20 items
• Fixed --version flag: prints version and exits without TUI
• Fixed default Debug: true → false
• Fixed logbook delete: synchronous os.Remove before toast
• Fixed double Wavelog lookup; added retry for QRZ lookups
• Fixed Maidenhead grid calculation (LatLonToLocator replaced with correct algorithm)
• Fixed PSK Reporter: per-callsign fetch timestamps with 5-minute cooldown across logbook cycles
• Fixed DXC: selected-row highlight spans full row; filter columns indicated via header
• Fixed DXC: show "DX Cluster not configured" toast when DXC is disabled (F4)
• Fixed bandplan export to match TUI data and formatting
• Fixed photo cache invalidation to reduce CPU usage during rendering
• Fixed photo loading state management in partner view

Wavelog

• Chunked batch upload (50 QSOs per HTTP call) with individual fallback on duplicate errors
• Operator/grid mismatch detection during upload with normalize-and-retry flow

Logging & Performance

• Size-based log rotation (10 MB) to prevent disk exhaustion

CI & Build

• .github/workflows/release.yml — 3-job pipeline: build-unix (Go + nfpm), build-installer (Windows NSIS), publish (GitHub Release)
• Makefile — added installer, packages, installer-all targets
• .gitignore — added dist/

Cleanup

• Removed dead code: pendingSave, screenCON, handleCONUpdate, viewCON, tabbar F3 CON, lookupTimeoutMsg, openLogFile()
• if/else if chains converted to tagged switch (wizard, rig_menu)
• Split inefficient WriteString concatenation in bpl_views.go
• Removed stale flrig_integration.go and flrig_interface.go (replaced by rig_poll.go + rig_client.go)
• Updated README with downloads badge, screenshots, and Unicode normalization package reference
