v0.95B - 2026-02-22 Release

This release focuses on Hardware Parity, and extensive UI Consistency based on user feedback. We have achieved 98% Feature Parity on core hardware sensors (BME280) and introduced heavily requested UI features like manual pane rotation.

Key Highlights

Hardware & Infrastructure

• BME280 (100% Parity): Full implementation of Bosch datasheet integer compensation formulas for temperature, humidity, and pressure. Hardware sensors on RPi now report calibrated values.
• Audio Control: Added --no-audio CLI flag and Lazy Audio Initialization. HDMI audio hardware is no longer activated at startup, eliminating "buzzer noise" on touchscreens with built-in speakers.
• Efficiency: Implemented Conditional GET (ETag/Last-Modified) in NetworkManager to drastically reduce data usage for high-frequency updates.

Map & Activity Features

• Selected Spot Sync: Map tooltips and great-circle paths are now exclusively tied to the selected ONTA/Cluster spot, eliminating map clutter.
• SOTA Coordination: Implemented API-based coordinate lookups for SOTA summits, providing full mapping for peaks not found in the bulk CSV.
• POTA Fixes: Corrected POTA frequency scaling (MHz to kHz), fixing band-color mapping and spot resolution.

UI & UX Refinements

• Manual Pane Rotation: Added semi-transparent overlay arrows to panes (N2ESP request). Users can now manually cycle through widgets without waiting for the auto-rotate timer.
• Interactive DX Panel: Clicking a spot in the DX Cluster or ONTA panel now automatically updates the main DX Panel (Callsign, Grid, Bearing, and Distance).
• Large-Format Space Weather: Parity with original HamClock for Kp Index; current values now appear as large, color-coded overlays on the history graphs.
• Setup Screen Polish:
  • Optimized layout for 7" (1024x600) displays.
  • Added Clipboard Paste (CTRL+V) support for all configuration fields.
  • Dedicated WSJT-X UDP Port config field.

Bug Fixes

• Fix: Resolved pixelated text issues in activity panels after window resizing.
• Fix: Standardized font sizes for all map tooltips and overlays using SmallRegular font style.
• Fix: Corrected Moon visuals to use the true parallactic angle for accurate rotation.
• Fix: Fixed hit-detection offsets in the Setup Screen "Rig" tab that made some fields unclickable.
• Fix: Prevented DX Cluster pane clicks from "bleeding" into adjacent panes.
• Fix: Fixed Age column overflow in DX Cluster when handling long callsigns.

Known Issues / Partial Features

• Cloud Cover: Data provider is active, but rendering is currently disabled in the Map stack while we optimize performance for Raspberry Pi Zero devices.
