v1.810 May 15, 2025

  Admin interface (desktop):

    Type "h" or "?" to see a help panel for the admin page.

    Keyboard shortcuts: Tired of reaching for the mouse or trackpad to select a new tab in the

    admin navigation bar? Now just type the beginning character of a tab name to switch to it,

    e.g. 'd' for the DX tab. If more than one tab is matched they will cycle left-to-right e.g.

    's' selects between "Status" and "Security". Typing a capital letter cycles right-to-left.

    The left/right keys also works. On the extensions tab the up/down arrow keys cycle the

    extension menu on the left side. There is a quirk related to the console tab described in

    the help panel.

  Fixed bug that broke "retain focus" mode of certain input fields. Like the "DX label filter"

  accessed from the "@" shortcut key. When you make an entry in the "ident" or "notes" field

  those entries are supposed to remain selected so that you can make subsequent entries without

  have to reselect the field (e.g. by clicking on it). Same for the "freq/ident/notes" fields

  on the admin page "DX" tab. I'm surprised no one complained about this!

  Fixed ALE extension processing of URL parameters. (thanks DK9FI)

v1.809 April 5, 2025

  The output from my.kiwisdr.com has been expanded to include additional information:

    Proxy links in addition to local IP links if proxy mode is setup and running.

    Connection type & status (i.e. settings on admin page "connect" tab).

    Kiwi and Debian software versions.

    Kiwi product model and Beagle type.

    The Debian hostname is shown after the serial number if it has been customized from the

      default "kiwisdr". Useful if you have multiple Kiwi on your network and you want to

      distinguish them by name instead of solely by serial number.

  Admin network tab has new field "Debian hostname" to complement the my.kiwisdr.com change above.

    This changes the actual Linux hostname and is not just a Kiwi configuration parameter.

  DX label fixes (desktop):

    When an extension is open, and you click on a dx label specified to open the same named

    extension, the extension won't get closed and re-opened. Instead, any new extension

    parameters contained in the dx label are sent directly to the open extension for

    further processing. Example: clicking on a different LF time station causes the

    timecode extension to change its decoding setup.

    Label only turns magenta (indicting extension will be opened on click) when mousing over

    label _without_ a modifier key pressed (shift etc). For example shift-clicking a label

    opens the label edit panel. So it doesn't make sense to be turning the label magenta

    because an extension isn't going to be opened when you click it.

    The DX help panel is opened if the cursor is in the label area and "h" or "?" pressed.

    The stored DX database can now have a custom name, 15 chars max. (thanks Mauno WRTH)

    Change the first line of the dx.json file from:

      {"dx":[

    to:

      {"my-custom-name":[

    If this is of interest you presumably already have a custom dx.json file you're loading

    via the admin DX tab "import JSON" button. If not, just use the "export JSON" button

    to download a copy of dx.json and use a text editor to make your changes.

    The custom name will appear in all the usual places: The left end of the frequency

    scale, the various database selection menus, etc.

  When frequency scale offset is in use (i.e. using a downconverter) fixed broken behavior of:

    "VFO A/B" button. (thanks F5AFY)

    "Zoom-to-band" button.

    "--- +++" buttons when frequency scale offset was not a multiple of 1 kHz.

  S-meter URL query: Allow optional mode e.g. my_kiwi:8073/s-meter?14200usb (thanks F5AFY)

  Prevent Beagle LED control conflict when admin backup function running. (thanks F5AFY)

  Save/restore waterfall timestamp parameters in browser storage. (thanks nitroengine)

  Removed debugging print causing lots of "AJAX_STATUS ..." messages in admin log when

    wsprdaemon or similar application are in use. (thanks DL4ZBE)

  Admin local blacklist now disallows entry of subnets which would otherwise exclude local

    network addresses or the loopback IP address. (thanks G2YT)

  When the "device preset" menu of the "Mouse wheel / trackpad setup" section of the user tab

    is set to anything except "custom" the three fields below are disabled for input.

    Although they still show what the preset values are. (thanks ZL2P)
