+## v1.40 (2026-02-16)
+**Major Feature Release: Score System, AP Timeline, Win-Test, PSTRotator**
+
+**New:**
+- **Chatmember Score System**: Every chat member is automatically scored based on antenna direction, activity time, message count, active bands, frequencies, sked direction (degrees), and other factors. Top candidates are highlighted in a dedicated list.
+- **AP Timeline**: For each minute of possible aircraft arrival, up to 4 highly-scored stations are shown that should be workable. Aircraft with the highest potential are preferred over the fastest arrival. Chat members whose antenna is not pointing towards you are shown transparently.
+- **Win-Test Support** (Beta since v1.31, now fully configurable): Log synchronisation, frequency parsing and **sked handover via UDP** fully integrated. Can be enabled/disabled in Preferences.
+- **PSTRotator Interface** (Beta since v1.31, now fully configurable): Rotator position updates directly from KST4Contest. Can be enabled/disabled in Preferences.
+- **QSO Sniffer**: Messages from configurable callsign lists are automatically forwarded to the PM window.
+- **Band Alert for logged stations**: When a station is logged, a hint appears if that station has another active band that you are also QRV on.
+- **Sked Reminder ALERT**: A sked alarm with automatic messages in configurable intervals (2+1 / 5+2+1 / 10+5+2+1 minutes before the sked) can be set up for each chat member, plus acoustic and visual notification.
+- **Load chat history on startup**: Chat server history is loaded on connect to immediately see active members and recent messages.
+- **Skedfail button**: In the FurtherInfo panel, a sked failure can be marked for a chat member, which lowers their priority score.
+
+**Changed:**
+- AP notes added to internal DX cluster spots.
+- Chat member table scrolling follows the current message selection automatically.
+- Generic auto-reply and QRG auto-reply now fire a maximum of once every 45 seconds per callsign (prevents spam and message ping-pong).
+- New saveable settings: ServerDNS/Port, PSTRotator interface, Win-Test interface, callsign sniffer, Dark Mode on by default.
+- Date column removed from chat table (time only – saves space).
+
+**Fixed:**
+- User list now automatically sorted on every new member sign-on.
+- Posonpill messages now terminate exactly one client instance (no longer affects all instances or wtKST).
+- wtKST: crash on KST4Contest disconnection fixed.
+- Multiple issues with callsign suffixes like `/p`, `-2`, etc. fixed throughout.
+- `QTFDefault` was not saved correctly → fixed.
+- AirScout watchlist (ASWATCHLIST) was not being updated → fixed.
+- Dark Mode: QRG fields not displayed at full size → fixed.
+- Version number display corrected.

+## v1.31 (2025-12-13)
+**Win-Test + PSTRotator Beta, QSO Sniffer, DNS Hotfix**
+
+**New:**
+- **Win-Test support** (Beta, not yet deactivatable): Log synchronisation and frequency parsing.
+- **PSTRotator support** (Beta, not yet deactivatable).
+- **QSO Sniffer**: Messages from configurable callsigns are forwarded to the PM window.
+
+**Changed:**
+- **DNS server changed**: From `www.on4kst.info` to `www.on4kst.org` (hotfix). The DNS server is now configurable in Preferences.
+
+**Fixed:**
+- Endless loop in error case freezes the client → fixed.
+

+
+## v1.266 (2025-10-03)
+**AirScout Fix for Callsigns with Suffix**
+
+**Fixed:**
+- AirScout interface did not work when the login callsign contained a suffix (e.g. `9A1W-2`). AirScout cannot handle this format – only the base callsign without suffix is now passed to AirScout.
+
+*(Bug reported and tested by 9A2HM / Kreso – many thanks!)*
+

+
+## v1.265 (2025-09-28)
+**Direction Buttons Stay Coloured When Active**
+
+**Fixed:**
+- Direction buttons (N / NE / E etc.) now keep their highlight colour when activated, making the active state immediately visible.
+
+---
+
+## v1.264 (2025-08-02)
+**Simplelogfile: Improved Callsign Recognition**
+
+**Fixed:**
+- Callsigns like `S53CC`, `S51A`, etc. were not being marked as worked in the SimpleLogFile interpreter → recognition pattern improved.
+
+*(Bug reported by Boris, S53CC – thank you!)*
