Version 0.5.1-alpha5

An Alpha 5 maintenance update with more consistent coordinate validation, decimal support for airport and runway positions, and corrected colouring of FIX records.

Fixed

  • Airport positions and runway endpoints now accept decimal latitude/longitude pairs. Decimal support for FIX, VOR and NDB definitions is retained, including longitudes with leading zeros.
  • Coordinate validation consistently checks full dotted and compact DMS formats, decimal length limits, hemisphere, and geographic ranges. Abbreviated DMS values are rejected instead of being mistaken for navigation references.
  • Coordinate pairs reject mixed DMS and decimal values while preserving supported combinations with FIX, VOR or NDB references.
  • Coordinate colouring now leaves FIX identifiers such as AAL, AAL08 and AAL12, and trailing type fields, unchanged when highlighting a decimal position.
  • Additional readers warn about missing trailing semicolons. Normalised clipboard rows include the terminating semicolon before any inline comment.
  • ```

Known limitations

  • DMS coordinates require the complete 14-character dotted or 11-character compact format. Decimal coordinates allow at most 13 characters, including the sign and decimal point.
  • The root [INFO] block continues to require dotted DMS. Navigation references remain limited to fields that support them.
