KLog 1.5.1 – When KLog left Savannah

Posted on 30 April, 2021 by EA4K

The last month has been the month when KLog left Savannah after being hosted for many years.
It’s been a weird story of a possible misunderstanding, an over reaction and the ego of a Savannah admin that was not able to recover from a complain…

It was really amazing that an admin of the Savannah GNU decided to delete the full KLog project and they were not supported even for a proper leave. They removed everything, including the sources, packages, mailing lists… everything! :-\

It’s been shown that https://savannah.nongnu.org/ is not a proper partner for free software as it is not reliable and hosting your project there is a risk for its availability as it depends on an admin personal decision.

Anyway, KLog is no longer hosted in Savannah, We still don’t have a mailing list but we do have the Telegram groups.

KLog 1.5.1 fixes some bugs and removes Savannah from the repository list to GitHub where KLog is happily hosted since a couple of months.

This is the changelog.

April 2021 – 1.5.1

  • Added the GitHub repository to find new releases due to the issue with savannah.nongnu.org
  • New feature: F4 toggles the real time status (on/off).
  • Improvements on call identification management on user input.
  • Bugfix: Editing removes QTH and name (Closes issue #113)
  • Bugfix: Some complex calls (i.e. F/EA4K) were causing a crash unders some conditions.
  • Bugfix: DX Entity of some complex calls where not properly identified. (Closes issue #8).

You can download this release here:

Where are the downloads?

Posted on 20 March, 2021 by EA4K

A couple of days ago I noticed that the KLog files, hosted in Savannah.nongnu.org were not existing anymore…

I am in contact with the Savannah admins to try to recover the repositories but just while the repositories are back or the final decision is to move to another place, the latest release is here:

https://github.com/ea4k/klog/releases/tag/1.4.7

Sorry for the inconvenience.

KLog is in GitHub

Posted on 3 January, 2021 by EA4K

From time to time some people ask me to push my code to GitHub.

I must admit that I am confortable having KLog in the Savannah SVN. It works without any error, not a single problem since I started to use it many years ago, I also have some automations built at home, in my development environment… I though that it made no sense to migrate to GitHub.

Some days ago I decided to move my code to GitHub, I will probably keep Savannah and GitHub repositories until (hopefully) I finally get the same feeling with GitHub than Savannah.

I am doing this with the hope that some of you will be contributing to KLog easily if it is in GitHub and maybe KLog improves 🙂

If KLog development is mainly mine, it makes no sense to move to GitHub.

Anyway, you can find two repositories:

https://github.com/ea4k/klog This repository hosts the code of KLog.

https://github.com/ea4k/klog-data This repository hosts files that are useful for KLog users or developers.

I hope this changes are useful for KLog!
