📢 WSJT-X 2.6.0-rc4 was released on 2022-09-07 and provides further improvements to Echo

mode, a new File menu item, and several bug fixes.

I looks like people are having a bit of trouble with some debs and there’s no macOS installer yet.

Update! my last toot should have said rc3, not 2. Blame the lack of sleep! Thanks @yvan for pointing this out.

Happy new year mastodonians!

📢 WSJT-X 2.5.4 was just released, with two new people stepping up to replace work done by the late G4WJS: https://sourceforge.net/p/wsjt/mailman/message/37410894/
