This quick turn around hot fix addresses an intermittent crash discovered by one of the intrepid Morse Elmer users affecting the "Play last character of the training set" functionality on the Settings Tab in the Training Set section.  As a bonus a handful of usability and readability changes are also included.  Please be sure to review the latest documentation .pdf available at http://morseelmer.blogspot.com/

# What's New

New features:

- **Completion Mode Setting**: Choose how training sessions end—Precise (stops at duration) or Natural (plays to completion with overtime display)
- **White Noise**: Add realistic radio static to training audio to simulate real-world conditions. Noise level displayed in dB relative to signal (0 dB = equal, +12 dB max = 4x signal amplitude). Slider uses cubic scale for fine control at lower levels
- **Prevent Screen Lock**: Keep the screen on during training sessions so you can focus on copying without the display dimming or locking

Improvements:

- Search enabled in documentation viewer
- QSO training now includes randomized weather conditions and season-appropriate temperatures
- Support emails now include optional diagnostic information with your current training settings to help troubleshoot issues

Bug fixes:

- Fixed an issue with training start delay timing introduced in 1.7.1

ok, this was intended as a minor bug fix release, but I kinda let it run away with me...  bug fixes, new functionality, reorganized settings and documentation to help those new to Morse Elmer, I hope this is well received...

Enhanced QSO training with dual-frequency mode—caller and responder now transmit at separate configurable tones, simulating realistic on-air conditions where you track two different operators. Added optional operator silence that inserts natural pauses between transmissions, helping you get comfortable with the rhythm of real QSO exchanges.

Fixed character counting accuracy (Issue #52) so all characters heard are now properly counted. Training sessions now play to natural completion rather than cutting off mid-character, with the timer displaying any overtime. Results show both elapsed and target time for full transparency.

Reorganized the Settings tab for a more intuitive flow—first select your training set and which characters to include, then configure word structure, followed by session-specific settings like speed, duration, and frequency. Default target speed updated to 15 WPM for new installations.

Added a "How it works" onboarding button on the Train tab, giving new users a four-page walkthrough of the app's training methodology. Improved Dynamic Type support for better accessibility with larger system fonts. Documentation completely rewritten and reorganized to reflect the new settings layout.

Modernization Update: Swift Charts and MKDocs Integration

  The Progress tab has been completely redesigned with Apple's native Swift Charts
  framework, replacing the legacy CorePlot library.

  New Features:
  • Interactive chart with smooth animations and horizontal scrolling
  • Tap table rows to highlight corresponding chart points
  • Filter sessions: Show 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, or All
  • Swipe-to-delete individual training sessions
  • Modernized CSV export with native share sheet

  Bug Fixes:
  • Fixed crash when deleting pro-signs in custom sets
  • Updated deprecated iOS APIs for better compatibility

  Documentation:
  • Completely rebuilt using MkDocs with enhanced navigation
  • Mobile-friendly layout for easier access on any device
  • Future releases will include PDF versions for offline use and Desktop website support.

  Under the Hood:
  • Removed 500+ files of third-party code, modernizing with native iOS frameworks for
  improved performance and easier maintenance

  Developed with assistance from Claude Code.

Bug Fixes and Improvements.

This update is mostly a catch up release, UI tweaks and refactoring to work with the latest hardware and iOS releases.  A few bug fixes thrown in, QSO UI layout should be better, iOS File support improved.

This update from Apple will improve the functionality of this app. No new features are included.

Thanks for using Morse Elmer!  After a long wait I hope you approve of the following features added in this version:

I fixed a bug I introduced in the last version which included a new UI element that was only supported in iOS 7 even though I listed iOS 6.1 as a supported version.
Now it won't crash on iOS 6.

bug fixes for issues with new file based functionality
bug fix for non retina devices not animating view correctly onto the screen.

Well it's been long enough, eh?

New ability to export training results to .csv file available via iTunes
New ability to control the amount of data shown on the progress graph
Show all training parameters on progress edit page.
