MiniBook v1.5.0b introduces a new feature that extends MiniBook beyond the desktop:
the WordPress & HTML Dashboard updater.
🚀 New Feature: WordPress Dashboard Updater
MiniBook can now push live station status directly to a website.
This enables:
-
Live ON AIR / OFF AIR indication
-
Real-time band, frequency, and mode display
-
WordPress dashboards using shortcodes or widgets
-
Standalone HTML snapshots for external embedding
-
Automatic QRZ.com–ready iframe output
All updates are push-based, lightweight, and fully under operator control — no cloud services involved.
🔧 Additional Improvements
Alongside the new dashboard feature, this release also includes several fixes:
MiniBook
-
Last loaded logbook now correctly reloads on startup
-
Sent exchange (STX) handling fixed
-
Incorrect STX numbering resolved
-

-
HamlibServer
-
Autostart issue fixed (v1.0.5k)
⬆️ Update Instructions
