[Tim Tucker]

I just released an update to the app.  The original link to the source and
install is still valid: Here are the updates:

Release Notes
<https://github.com/worldwidedx/KPA1500-Remote-Pi/blob/main/RELEASE_NOTES.md#release-notes>
0.6.0 - 2026-07-27
<https://github.com/worldwidedx/KPA1500-Remote-Pi/blob/main/RELEASE_NOTES.md#060---2026-07-27>

This release tightens protocol fidelity and fills out the remote panel.

   - Fixed ATU inline/bypass control to use the verified ^AMI; and ^AMB;
    macros.
   - Added PF1 and PF2 buttons to the remote dashboard using the
   front-panel hold macros.
   - Corrected frequency telemetry display so ^FR is treated as kHz and
   shown in MHz with the proper scale.
   - Corrected band rendering so Elecraft band numbers show as
   human-readable band labels.
   - Added fan speed severity colors: 3 is yellow, 4 is orange, and 5 is
   red.
   - Kept the private HTTPS remote workflow, WOL capture, and host/client
   architecture unchanged.

Previous release:

   - 0.5.0 introduced ATU controls, fan minimum control, private CA HTTPS
   trust workflow, and the initial browser remote panel.
