Planned improvements for TLF-1.4 release
----------------------------------------
[x] make hamlib mandatory (finished Oct 2018, tnx Zoli)
[x] switch to hamlib's freq_t for frequencies (tnx Zoli)
( and maybe factor out hamlib stuff to a separate module )
[x] allow vertical resizing of tlf (more room for cluster messages)
[x] drop 'SCAN' menu with noise bridge, panorama scan and smeter
display (It did not work for a long time and I think no one is
using it)
[x] Handling multiplier aliases (see thread started by Nate in June)
[x] Allow other callmaster databases (hardcoded or by CALLMASTER= keyword)
[x] Rework startup display for better readability by user
Planned for later versions
--------------------------
[x] automatically switch back to 'Run' mode from "grab spot" after QSO (tnx
Zoli)
[x] Add contest name to Header of ADIF file (suggested by SP3RXO)
[x] Refactor write_adif function. Use an add_adif_field() helper and also
already existing get_next_record() function.
[x] Fix arrlsections, paccmults and spdxmults (drop '-end-' marker)
[x] Do a complete rescore after delete of QSO automatically
[x] document use of CT9.91 CTY.DAT files in FAQ
[x] Allow scrolling up and down received and sent rapport between 339 and
599 if CHANGE_RST is active. Extend keywords so that you can prepare a
list of most used RST values which will then be used for scrolling,
e.g. CHANGE_RST=339,479,599 or similar.
[x] Have a template for cabrillo file header (suggested by Joop PG4I)
[x] Add a keyword to startup TLF in S&P mode (should be an easy one)
[ ] switch between ESM and CT mode during contest (Nate N0NB)
[x] Send Morse via Hamlib for radios that support it.
Tnx Christoph DF7CB and others.
[ ] Rework audio handling (recording and playback of contest and messages).
[ ] Do a complete rewrite of display related code in the long term to
allow vertical AND horizontal resizing.
[ ] Add undo functionality to editing last 5 QSOs (see PR #333)
Internals
~~~~~~~~~
[x] Factor out helper functions to parse parts of logline (band, mode, ...)
[x] change internal QSO representation to structs (makes coding much
simpler and will enable migration of log file to a different format
later)
[ ] Switch the logfile to a database. The actual TR-Log format has some
limitations. Log as a database will enable easy statistics, make
removal of QSOs easier and allows us to store more information about
the contest. (Long term goal)
[ ] Do a major rework of scoring of multis and points (That is already
overdue for some time now). As contests developed in last years there
are more and more complex scoring schemes. To code a special contest
module for each contest will not be possible with our limited man
power. So we need a flexible and programmable scoring which will
allow us to handle most of the contests by a rule file.
I fear it will break compatibility with existing TLF rules
completely and would sure be a major version bump to TLF-2.0 or
similar.
[ ] Rework (and repair) the voice keyer so that Esc could stop the
voice keyer. At the moment the voice file is passed to a script
so once that happens Tlf loses control. Perhaps even something as simple
as getting the PID of the script, if possible, and killing it directly.
This may have unintended side effects so would require much testing.
Another thought is to deliver the file to ALSA or Pulse Audio directly and
be able to stop playback at will.
[ ] Fix out problems during enable/disable rig control related to reporting
the actual frequency. Especially enabling rig control should initialize
rig connection and disabling should clear the working frequency.
WISHLIST (N0NB)
~~~~~~~~
[ ] Incorporate some method of pull-down menus for configuration. i
Doing so might encourage more use of Tlf? I don't know if that amount
of work would be productive or not.
ALTERNATIVE (suggested by N7DA)
What about a 2nd application, 'tlf-config' or 'easy-tlf-config', which
would have the pulldown menus etc for setting up config files.
[ ] Along with the above, move away from log_cfg.dat and
the rules files toward configuration through the UI and a common
config file that doesn't require hand editing.
