title: Version 1.43.1 released
summary: Reliable log synchronisation, persistent layouts and better DX Cluster compatibility
date: 2026-09-03

## Version 1.43.1
Version 1.43 focuses on the parts of KST4Contest that have to keep working during a long contest: ON4KST connection monitoring, log synchronisation, Worked information and the data sent to external logging software.
The first v1.43.0 packages already contained all functional changes described below, but some embedded version metadata still identified the build as version 1.42. v1.43.1 corrects this. If you already downloaded v1.43.0, use v1.43.1 instead.
### What changed
- **More reliable log synchronisation:** The Simplelogfile parser now closes the selected file after every pass, handles suffix variants by their base callsign and reports when a missing file has been created. UCXLog-compatible packets and Win-Test events share the same band normalisation, including the existing microwave bands.
- **Correct Worked state after login:** Persisted Worked information is applied before the initial ON4KST user list becomes visible. Reconnects and both chat categories therefore start with the correct state.
- **No false disconnect on a quiet server:** KST4Contest actively checks a quiet ON4KST session before treating it as dead. A period without new activity lines no longer causes an unnecessary reconnect.
- **DX Cluster compatibility:** Local spots now use a fixed, DXSpider-compatible 75-character line format that is also accepted reliably by DXLog. Frequencies up to 24 GHz keep the required column positions.
- **Layouts that stay where you put them:** Table column widths, window sizes and relevant dividers are saved automatically. Truncated table values expose their full text in a tooltip.
- **Controllable map grouping:** **Group nearby stations** switches map clustering on or off without changing the current viewport or selected station.
- **Smaller corrections:** Complete QRGs without a decimal separator are recognised across the supported bands, and private-message age highlighting no longer remains attached to reused table rows.
The complete technical list is available in the [changelog](/manual/en/changelog/) and the [GitHub release notes](https://github.com/praktimarc/kst4contest/releases/tag/v1.43.1).
### Getting it
Packages for Windows, Linux and macOS are available on the [download page](/download/) and in the [GitHub release](https://github.com/praktimarc/kst4contest/releases/tag/v1.43.1). The AUR packages are updated through their normal release workflow.
The German and English manuals have also been revised. The new contest-workflow chapter connects the individual functions into a practical operating sequence instead of describing them only in isolation. 73
