Update .gitignore to ignore /.env and /PluginDirectory/.env. Remove documentation and example plugin assets under docs/ (including awards-plugin-guide, plugin-manager-guide, plugin-system-phase1, qso-hooks-plugin-guide and example plugin folders/archives) to clean up obsolete docs and sample plugins.
Introduce a plugin framework and management UI: adds Plugin Manager controller, Plugin_awards controller, Plugin_manager and Cloudlog_hooks libraries, Plugins_model, migration (268) to create the plugins table, and views for plugin manager and award pages. Integrates hooks into Logbook_model (qso.filter.before_save, qso.action.after_save, qso.action.after_edit), updates header to show award plugin entries and a Plugin Manager menu link, and bumps migration_version to 268. Also adds .gitignore rules, plugin index placeholder, docs and example plugin packages. The Plugin Manager supports uploading/installing ZIP packages, safe extraction, manifest validation, enable/disable/delete actions, and CSRF protection.
Introduce a new Call History feature: adds Callhistory controller, Callhistory_model, migration (create callhistory_files table) and view for uploading/managing call history files. Implements CSV/TXT upload handling, storage per-user, activation/priority controls, checksum, and server-side lookup that scans active files for matching callsigns. Integrates UI: header menu link, contesting and QSO views show call history results inline, and JavaScript to perform lookups and render results with copy-to-SIG functionality. Also updates .gitignore to exclude uploaded callhistory directory and bumps migration_version to 261.
Add ignore entries for /uploads/diary/, /uploads/lotw/, and /backup/logbook.adi to prevent committing diary/LOTW upload directories and the backup logbook file. No other content changes.
Update .gitignore to exclude all files under /application/cache while whitelisting /application/cache/index.html and /application/cache/.htaccess. This prevents committing transient cache files but preserves placeholder and access-control files needed to keep the directory and settings in the repo.
Replaces the old SOTA model with a new Sota_model, adds CSV-based summit metadata caching, and introduces new controller endpoints and view components for SOTA table, stats, and map fragments. The SOTA award page now supports filtering, improved statistics, and interactive mapping using summit coordinates. Updates .gitignore to include the new SOTA CSV, and refactors SOTA data refresh logic for reliability and maintainability.
Introduces open registration settings in the options area, allowing administrators to enable or disable public user signup. Adds a registration options page, updates sidebar navigation, and implements a public signup form and controller logic. Also refines user model to ensure correct data types for user fields and updates language strings for registration. The login page now links to signup when open registration is enabled.
