- Updated to version 2.5.2
* This is mostly a bug fix release. It has the following changes
since release 2.5.1:
+ Repair a longstanding regression that caused signal reports from
tail-ended Tx2 messages to be omitted from logged information
+ Parse "dx-call-1 RR73; dx-call-2 <de-call> +nn" messages (i3=0,
n3=1 DXpedition mode) in regular 77-bit modes
+ Repair a regression associated with setting the main window width
on program startup.
+ Repair a problem with Q65 decodes of type 'q3' for messages of the
form "<Call_1> Call_2"
+ Execute code associated with Q65 decodes of type 'q5' only when the
Max Drift control is set to 50. This fix prevents
double-incrementing of the message averaging counter on the first
decoding sequence.
+ Polarization offset 'Dpol' from the astronomical data window is now
written to file azel.dat if environment variable
WSJT_AZEL_EXTRA_LINES has been defined as 1 or greater. Dpol is
especially useful for EME on the higher microwave bands.
+ The Auto Log QSO option in "Settings->Reporting" now behaves the
same as the Prompt to log QSO option when not in a special
operating context mode.
+ The Fast/Normal/Deep setting in Q65 mode is now a sticky setting
and is no longer reset to Fast on program startup or when Settings
has been opened. The user selection is used for automatic decodes,
but Deep is used for any subsequent manual decode attempts.
+ New hamlib code to correct minor flaws in controlling several rigs.
+ Update the Chinese and Hong Kong translations of the user
interface.

- WSJT-X v2.2.2 is a bug fix release, mainly to incorporate the new RAC
section PE into the FT8/FT4/MSK144 Contest Mode for Field Day.
* Stations intending to operate in Field Day (FD) are urged to
upgrade to this release, without it you cannot set your section to
PE, and of equal importance you cannot decode contest messages from
stations who are operating from PE without this upgrade.
* FT8 decoder speeded up in Normal and Fast modes. This change gives
a speed of decoding closer to that of v2.1.2 without compromising
the number of decodes. It is particularly targeted for slower
single board computer users such as the Raspberry Pi Model 3 or
similar.
* Thanks to our user interface language translation contributors for
many improvements to the translated strings.
* The DX Grid field is now cleared automatically when the DX Call
field is changed. Care should be taken to complete entry of a
callsign before entering a grid square.
- WSJT-X v2.2.1 is a bug fix release that fixes regressions found in the
prior v2.2.0 release.
* Incorporate a revised Hamlib version the address a regression in
rig control of some rigs including the Yaesu FT-991 and FT-891.
* Repair a defect in 6 character gridsquare lookup from the CALL3.TXT
database, and improve "Lookup" button processing.

requests with the 'Highlight last' parameter as true highlighted a
match in a prior period. This fix include a performance improvement
when processing any Highlight Callsign request with 'Highlight
last' as true.
* Include support for the Yaesu FT-920 when controlled by Ham Radio
Deluxe. This change inadvertently missed the v2.2.0 GA release.
* Correct a documentation issue with the UDP Message Protocol
Status(1) message Special Operations Mode enumeration values ("WW
DIGI added", Fox, and Hound renumbered). Thanks to Sam, W2JDB, for
raising this issue.
* Updated Catalan UI translation, tnx Xavi, EA3W.

- update to WSJT-X v2.0.0 GA release
- WSJT-X 2.0 is a major update that introduces new protocols for
FT8 and MSK144. The new protocols become the world-wide standards
on December 10, 2018. WSJT-X 2.0 cannot communicate in these modes
with other stations using WSJT-X v1.9.1 or earlier.
- New features since WSJT-X v1.9.1:
1. Compound and nonstandard callsigns are automatically recognized
and handled using new message formats.
2. The new FT8 protocol provides optimized message formats for
North American VHF contests, European VHF contests, ARRL Field
Day, and ARRL RTTY Roundup. Similarly, the new MSK144 protocol
provides optimized message formats for North American VHF and
European VHF contests. Full support is provided for "/R" and
"/P" calls in the relevant contests.
3. The new protocols provide nearly equal (or better) sensitivity
compared to the old ones, and lower false decode rates.
4. New logging features are provided for contesting and for "Fox"
(DXpedition) mode. Logging is optionally integrated with N1MM
Logger+ and WriteLog.
5. Color highlighting of decoded messages provides worked-before
status for callsigns, grid locators, DXCC entities, continents,
CQ Zones, and ITU zones on a “by band” and “by mode” basis, and
for stations that have uploaded their logs to Logbook of the
World (LoTW) within a specified time interval.
6. The WSPR decoder now achieves decodes down to S/N = -31 dB. For
the particular benefit of LF/MF users, an option "No own call
decodes" has been added.
7. The UDP messages sent to companion programs have been expanded
and improved.
- update to WSJT-X v1.9.1 GA release
1. New FT8 DXpedition Mode to facilitate high QSO rates in pileup
situations: for details see
http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/FT8_DXpedition_Mode.pdf
2. Decoding improvements for JT65 mode, including a priori (AP)
decoding when VHF/UHF/Microwave features are enabled
3. More flexible Doppler control features for EME
4. Improved AFC capability for the wider JT65 sub-modes to help with
drifting signals
5. Optional Auto-Sequencing in JT4, JT9, and JT65 when
VHF/UHF/Microwave features are enabled
6. Corrected S/N measurements for the JT9 slow/wide submodes
7. DX grid locator sent to wsjtx_status.txt, for use by applications
like PstRotatorAZ
8. Improved decoding performance for WSPR mode, especially effective at
LF and MF
9. Improved waterfall sensitivity for very weak signals
10. Optional forwarding of logged information to N1MM Logger+
11. Expanded and improved UDP messages sent to companion programs
12. Allow partial processing of incoming UDP Reply messages so that
non-CQ/QRZ decodes can be processed. The processing is the same as
double-clicking the same decoded message within WSJT-X except that
"Enable Tx" will not be enabled.
13. Adjustable main-window geometry with a "splitter" between the two
text panels.
14. Better support for macOS using hi-DPI Retina displays
15. Updated Hamlib functionality including changes to the Yaesu FT-817
back end that allows the uBITx kit transceiver to be CAT controlled
by WSJT-X.
16. Correct the display of DXCC status of KG4 calls
17. Decoded CQ calls where a prefix has been used as a suffix should
have the DXCC entity name assigned correctly in almost all cases
18. Hamlib, support for TRX-Manager added.
19. Hamlib, improved support for FLRIG.
20. Updated copy of cty.dat
- update to WSJT-X v1.8.0 GA release
1. New mode called FT8: sensitivity down to -20 dB on the AWGN
channel; QSOs 4 times faster than JT65 or JT9; auto-sequencing
includes an option to respond automatically to first decoded
reply to your CQ.
2. New mode for accurate Frequency Calibration of your radio.
3. Improved performance of decoders for JT65, QRA64, and MSK144.
MSK144 includes facilities for amplitide and phase equalization
and an "SWL" mode for short-format messages.
4. Options to minimize screen space used by Main and Wide Graph
windows.
5. Enhanced management scheme for table of operating frequencies, and
a new set of default frequencies specific to the three IARU
Regions.
6. Improved CAT control for many rigs, including those controlled
through Commander or OmniRig.
7. New keyboard shortcuts to set "Tx even/1st" ON or OFF.
8. A number of (mostly minor) bug fixes and tweaks to the user
interface. For example: new behavior for the audio level slider;
correctly logged QSO start times in certain situations; correct
control of FT-891/991 and some other radios via rigctld.
- update to WSJT-X v1.7.0 GA release

- WSJT-X 2.3.1 General Availability release updates the User Guide
to cover the new modes FST4 and FST4W along with sample .WAV files
and decoding tutorials. This release also repairs a number of
defects and regressions discovered since the v2.3.0 release,
including those below.
* When sending traffic to a multicast UDP server ensure that the
local loop-back interface is used if no others are selected.
* Repair a defect in instance lock file handling that causes an
infinite loop on start up.
* Invert the PTT serial port sharing default behaviour, and
enable sharing when non-Hamlib CAT control is combined with
direct serial port PTT control.
* Allow the FST4 and FST4W decoders to continue after the first
successful decode when using negative NB values to try multiple
NB values.
* Repair defects in auto-sequencing, particularly with responding
to a repeated final message. In general a double-click of the
repeated message now does the right thing.
* Repair a regression that had inadvertently disabled EU VHF
Contest mode when using the MSK144 mode.
* Repair a defect that could caused incorrect log entry fields
when using FT4 mode and a priori (AP) decoding.
* Repair defects saving .WAV files for periods with decodes.

- WSJT-X v2.2.2 is a bug fix release, mainly to incorporate the new RAC
section PE into the FT8/FT4/MSK144 Contest Mode for Field Day.
* Stations intending to operate in Field Day (FD) are urged to
upgrade to this release, without it you cannot set your section to
PE, and of equal importance you cannot decode contest messages from
stations who are operating from PE without this upgrade.
* FT8 decoder speeded up in Normal and Fast modes. This change gives
a speed of decoding closer to that of v2.1.2 without compromising
the number of decodes. It is particularly targeted for slower
single board computer users such as the Raspberry Pi Model 3 or
similar.
* Thanks to our user interface language translation contributors for
many improvements to the translated strings.
* The DX Grid field is now cleared automatically when the DX Call
field is changed. Care should be taken to complete entry of a
callsign before entering a grid square.
- WSJT-X v2.2.1 is a bug fix release that fixes regressions found in the
prior v2.2.0 release.
* Incorporate a revised Hamlib version the address a regression in
rig control of some rigs including the Yaesu FT-991 and FT-891.
* Repair a defect in 6 character gridsquare lookup from the CALL3.TXT
database, and improve "Lookup" button processing.
* Repair a defect with selecting Wide Graph 2D spectrum types in
translated UIs.

requests with the 'Highlight last' parameter as true highlighted a
match in a prior period. This fix include a performance improvement
when processing any Highlight Callsign request with 'Highlight
last' as true.
* Include support for the Yaesu FT-920 when controlled by Ham Radio
Deluxe. This change inadvertently missed the v2.2.0 GA release.
* Correct a documentation issue with the UDP Message Protocol
Status(1) message Special Operations Mode enumeration values ("WW
DIGI added", Fox, and Hound renumbered). Thanks to Sam, W2JDB, for
raising this issue.
* Updated Catalan UI translation, tnx Xavi, EA3W.
* Italian UI translation, tnx Marco, PY1ZRJ.
* Updated Spanish UI translation, tnx Cedric, EA4AC.

Alt+R sets Tx4 message to RR73, Ctrl+R sets it to RRR.
* the "inverted goal posts" marking Rx frequency on the Wide Graph's
frequency scale are now rendered in a darker shade of green.
* User Interface Translations have been enabled. Translations are
now available for Catalan, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, and Hong
Kong Chinese.
* "Save None" now writes no .wav files to disk, even temporarily.
* An explicit entry for "WW Digi Contest" has been added to
"Special operating activities" on the "Settings | Advanced" tab.

- update to WSJT-X v2.0.0 GA release
- WSJT-X 2.0 is a major update that introduces new protocols for
FT8 and MSK144. The new protocols become the world-wide standards
on December 10, 2018. WSJT-X 2.0 cannot communicate in these modes
with other stations using WSJT-X v1.9.1 or earlier.
- New features since WSJT-X v1.9.1:
1. Compound and nonstandard callsigns are automatically recognized
and handled using new message formats.
2. The new FT8 protocol provides optimized message formats for
North American VHF contests, European VHF contests, ARRL Field
Day, and ARRL RTTY Roundup. Similarly, the new MSK144 protocol
provides optimized message formats for North American VHF and
European VHF contests. Full support is provided for "/R" and
"/P" calls in the relevant contests.
3. The new protocols provide nearly equal (or better) sensitivity
compared to the old ones, and lower false decode rates.
4. New logging features are provided for contesting and for "Fox"
(DXpedition) mode. Logging is optionally integrated with N1MM
Logger+ and WriteLog.
5. Color highlighting of decoded messages provides worked-before
status for callsigns, grid locators, DXCC entities, continents,
CQ Zones, and ITU zones on a “by band” and “by mode” basis, and
for stations that have uploaded their logs to Logbook of the
World (LoTW) within a specified time interval.
6. The WSPR decoder now achieves decodes down to S/N = -31 dB. For
the particular benefit of LF/MF users, an option "No own call
decodes" has been added.
7. The UDP messages sent to companion programs have been expanded
and improved.
