Wavelog releases

Important Security Update

This release fixes a critical vulnerability affecting all existing Wavelog installations from version 1.8 onward. While we have no indication of exploitation in the wild, the risk profile changes once the fix is public and we recommend updating to 2.4.2 promptly.
If you cannot update right away, block external access to the /install/ directory at your webserver level as a temporary mitigation.

A full security advisory will be published in approximately 30 days.

This release brings support for Single Sign-On (SSO) over OIDC and reflects the latest changes in ADIF 3.1.7. Alongside with some security bugfixes and other improvements. It is important to know that this introduces FT2 (among others) as a new (sub)mode. This has no impact on other external and 3rd party services and their handling of the new modes. With this release Wavelog handles those modes correctly. Please allow other services to pick up the changes in ADIF standard and do not file bugs like "LoTW/eQSL/Clublog etc. is not confirming my FT2 QSOs correctly".

Disclaimer and a little note:
A heated discussion has erupted around the topic of FT2 in recent weeks and the Wavelog Dev Team also had to deal with this. The Wavelog Dev Team does not want to be part of this politics. We adhere to the ADIF standard and stand for the values of OpenSource Software. There is nothing more to say about it.

Please note: With this release several database migrations where merged. Due to this some files were renamed and some old ones deleted. This may lead to errors for people updating Wavelog by (only) copying over new files (e.g. via FTP). In order for this update to apply properly please follow the instructions at https://docs.wavelog.org/getting-started/updating/#updating-via-zip-file carefully. (Hotfix: In case you run into troubles with an error message complaining about multiple migrations with version number 170 simply delete the file applications/migrations/170_tag_2_6_3.php. But take care of the rest of the instructions on the wiki as well).

Dear community

This is our 2nd anniversary release and the 38th release in total! In February 2024 we presented Wavelog to the world. In the last two years Wavelog has gone through big changes, improvements, some bugs (that's normal, trust us) and was battle tested by you! We say thank you to all contributors, translators, testers and everyone who appreciates our work. TNX!

This release brings some essential improvements. The biggest enhancement lies in performance. We completely refactored the DXCC lookup for faster and more reliable identification. Session handling now uses HMAC SHA256 instead of bcrypt – this alone makes session key generation significantly faster. The caching system has been rebuilt from the ground up: besides the default file-based caching, Wavelog now supports Redis, Memcached and APCu for those who want to squeeze out even more speed. A new garbage collector takes care of expired cache files automatically.

Beyond performance, we've added useful features to the Advanced Logbook, improved the DXCluster, cleaned up legacy code for PHP 8.5 compatibility, and squashed numerous bugs along the way.

Check the full changelog below for details. 73!

With this Version we're closing several potential dangerous security-issues. It is strongly recommended to update Wavelog to this version. Furthermore we're proud to present "DBTools", located at the Advanced Logbook. Used properly, by the user, this can be very helpful to clean-up your QSOs and put the right DXCC/Grid/etc. to it. Use it with care. Very powerful, if you know what you're doing.

It's cold outside, snow has fallen. So we go back in our shacks where it's warm and cozy (depends on transmit power). With this major release there are awesome new features regarding DXcluster, improvements for color impaired hams and - sure thing - a lot of bugfixes and improvements. The new DXcluster, developed by SP9SPM, is a really big jump for Wavelog and brings a sophisticated Cluster directly into your browser. It allows filtering, not only for bands but also for POTA/SOTA/WWFF Spots, New DXCCs, Contest and so on. The DXmap directly inside the cluster makes spots visible for your next hunting.
This release also contains a major change in colors for QSO markers as well as maps. A third color was introduced to user settings and colors are now handled consistently for the three possible QSL states: not worked, worked (but not confirmed) and confirmed. Please check your user settings and adjust colors accordingly. In addition to that a new theme was added to support operators with red/green impairment. This adjusts the colors for QSL markers in logbook and QSO views.
In addition to the new DXcluster we also introduce the DXwaterfall which can be enabled in your user options. The waterfall shows all current spots in your band and makes it super easy to find the spots on the QRG. Test it out!

The Wavelog team is proud to present v2.0.5 - the summer-release - with a lot of bugfixes and some enhancements. We are very happy about your feedback, which helps us to improve the software more and more. Even knowing it is sometimes challenging to hold the balance between "easy to use" and fulfilling every wish, we think Wavelog still fits to the experienced hams as well as to the novice.

If you like to meet the team in person, or learn to know more about Wavelog and its features, join us at the HamRadio 2025 fair in Friedrichshafen happening on the upcoming weekend (June 27th to 29th 2025). There will be two talks, where the team is available for a Q&A on Saturday. We are happy to meet our users which improve Wavelog by contributing code or just sharing good ideas.
