Several resources outlived a disconnect on purpose, which was harmless while a
process ran exactly one session for its whole life. They are now released when
the controller itself is closed:
- the ON4KST connection supervisor thread, which stopByUser did not touch
- the sked reminder scheduler, which had no shutdown at all
- the reachability executor, whose shutdown method existed but was never called
- the PSTRotator retry scheduler and its pending retry
- the map tile proxy, whose stop method existed but was never called, leaving a
server socket and a twelve thread pool behind
- the station map bridge listeners and its coalescing animation, which would
otherwise keep firing into a dead user interface
These are real leaks today; they only become visible when a second runtime is
built in the same process.

ChatPreferences gains a constructor taking a preferences file name relative to
the application directory, so "profiles/OP2/preferences.xml" is as valid as the
historic flat "preferences.xml". A missing file is still seeded from the
bundled template, which gives an additional operator the same clean defaults a
first installation gets.
ChatController gains a constructor that passes both relative file names and the
seed flag through to ChatPreferences and DBController. The existing
constructors delegate to the historic file names, so nothing changes yet.

Session-based ON4KST connection lifecycle: Each socket, reader, writer, message bus and queue now belongs to an explicitly identified connection session. Delayed threads from an obsolete connection can therefore no longer process data or close its replacement. ONLINE is reported only after the login has been accepted and all requested user lists have been received. Connection setup, login and synchronisation use bounded timeouts, while heartbeats, missing inbound traffic, EOF and read or write failures trigger controlled reconnect attempts with backoff where appropriate.
Validated ON4KST protocol commands: Outgoing frames are built centrally and checked for valid categories, locators and prohibited frame delimiters. Because ON4KST maintains one locator per TCP session, the main locator is used for both chat categories and a conflicting secondary configuration is logged instead of sending contradictory commands to the server.
Issue #68
Adds Band.B_50/B_70 and wires them through the same band-opportunity
machinery as the other bands: X/a/B+/o table columns and filter button
in the User table and the Workedstn database table, NOT-QRV checkboxes
and propagation across callsign variants, "My station uses 6m/4m band"
toggles, station-name detection ("50", "6M", "70MHZ", "4M" - without
stealing the existing bare "70"/"6" cm-band shorthand), Win-Test sked
band IDs (10/50MHz, 11/70MHz), and UCX-logger worked-band recognition.
Persists worked50/70 and notQRV50/70 via an additive SQLite migration
(same ensureColumnExists pattern as the earlier v1.1->v1.2 migration),
verified against a real database file.
ReachabilityService.resolveAutoBand() now also falls back to 50 MHz
(then 70 MHz) for stations in the "50/70 MHz" chat category, mirroring
the existing Microwave-category fallback to 23cm.

Issue #70, #66, #65
Introduces a shared BandOpportunityResolver so the station table's band
columns, the New bands filter, the band-upgrade hint, the priority
score, the map markers and the automatic reachability band selection
all derive band availability the same way: recent QRG detections (30
min window) plus station-name hints, evaluated across every active
callsignRaw variant, with manual NOT-QRV always taking precedence.
The per-band table cells now distinguish:
- X: worked on this band
- a: band available, call not worked on any band yet
- B+: band available, call already worked on another band
- o: grid square already worked on this band (any station) - combines
with the others, e.g. "ao" or "B+o"
Both "a" and "o" can be toggled off in the GUI settings tab.

Implements sending SKEDs to Win-Test via the LOCKSKED/ADDSKED/UNLOCKSKED
UDP protocol sequence, ported from the C# wtSked class in wtKST.
New files:
- WinTestMessage.java: Win-Test network message format with checksum
- WinTestSkedSender.java: UDP broadcast sender for SKED messages
Modified:
- ChatController: addSked() now pushes to Win-Test when enabled
- ChatPreferences: new settings for broadcast address and sked push toggle
The feature is disabled by default (logsynch_wintestNetworkSkedPushEnabled=false).

<description>Airscout communication and Loginname</description>
<added> nothing </added>
<changed> The shema of AS-calculation messages from KST4Contest to Airscout had been changed due to some reports of Mats Helgöstam and other nice OMs who wasn´t able to track AP by the button. Before: EACH entry of the userlist had been sent to AirScout for AS plane path calculation in 12s intervals. EACH entry of the userlist had been added to the AirScout map. New in v1.263: Only entries of the userlist with a QRB lower than the setted max-QRB will be sent to AirScout for AS plane path calculation in 60s intervals. Only entries of the userlist with a QRB lower than the setted max-QRB will be added to the AS map. </changed>
<fixed> First: By changing the AS communication there is a huge decrease of the amount of messages which have to be queued by AS and also a huge decrease of the calculation operations of AS. That most likely will speed up also the issue of the very laggy "track in AS"-button. And also it will save a lot of computing power. The new 1min interval seems to be enough. Second: Name in chat is now saveable, whoohoo! Third: Some beauty fixes before and after login (visibiity of fields) 4th: Fixed issue which 9A2HM / Kreso told me. The name of the AS client had been hard wired to "KST" and the AS servers name had been hard wired to "AS", which results out of a time where I never mentioned to publish this client. It´s now fixed, so that the name-preferences will have a real effect.... 73 / DO5AMF </fixed>

<description>DXCluster Server is now implemented</description>
<added>- DXCluster Server (tnx OMAAO): KST4Contest inhibts a DXCluster server now. It generates a DXCluster message to feed your log client with station-reachable warnings. As a default, the dxcluster warnings will only be sent if a chatter writes to another and due to this is most likely pointing it´s antenna to your direction. For correct spot processing of your log program, you must use another spotters callsign than your contest callsign. Otherwise the filter will not work. </added>

- Selectable bands
Its now possible to select which bands you want to activate. Please select your bands and
click save and restart the software. There will only appear buttonds and field which are
related to the bands which you have choosen.
- Unworkable tags for each callsign.
It´s now possible to set NOT-QRV tags for each station for each band. If an OM tells
you for example, that he is not QRV at 144 MHz, you can set the "unworkable" flag for him
and able to filter his callsign out of the chatmember-list
- QTF-Arrow
The button "show path in AS" now got an arrow which shows the QTF of the selected station
while the button is still out of function (will work that out some time)
If this causes that the sender-antenna is directed most likely in my direction (with a difference of ~25deg), the callsign will appear fat and green in the userlist. As the sender often propagates his frequency at the chat (that means, we have saved this already), there is a high probability to work him at this short term opportunity
- mark new connected stations
- made some UI improvements (Behaviour of messagefilter-radiobutton corrected)
- removed UI bug, caused if you send a message to your onwn station....
