Latest QCluster updates since official release:
• Prevented changing callsign and server when connected to a DX cluster.
• Added automatic handling for DXSpider’s invisible filter inheritance with SSID callsigns. QCluster prevents filters from the base callsign being silently inherited by applying a harmless dummy filter to establish a separate filter state for the SSID. If the user configures their own filters, the dummy is removed and those filters are left untouched. In other words, If you're connected with an SSID, you won't suffer from inherited, invisible filters.
• Fix spot entry field. Previously, the frequency field would take any text, now it's limited to numbers and a full stop.
• Added two entries to the View' menu. 'Default View and Small View'. Selecting Small View will reduce QCluster down to the minimum allowed window size, reduce the spot table font and resize the columns. You can still resize/move things around as normal but Default and Small view will always reset to the same point (but they won't move columns if you've swapped them around). Buttons and menus all remain the same size. Expect to scroll more if you're entering alerts or using the band filters if you're working in Small View.
• Added a timeout if QCluster sticks on 'sending callsign' during log in.
• Changes to backup connection.
• Multiple background code changes to tidy things.
• Fix 'pong' suppression in console.
• Don't allow view to be changed when console is selected.
• Added two custom alert sounds. Now you can select the default macOS beep or pick between two louder alerts.
• Added Alerts Only view.
